[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Got it killed.

Install All In One Toolbox from the play store, requires root for what we are doing. Fire it up and you can disable services from startup. My Verizon Services was there, disabled it and rebooted and it is gone. Then I uninstalled All In One and rebooted. Still gone.

I love the smell of burnt Verizon in the morning.

Be interesting to see if any side effects, like lost voicemail notifications.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Are you using the Verizon app by chance?? I have the same setup as you, and I use the app to check my data usage periodically. If your on wifi, you won't see it running under developer options. However, if you use it on mobile data, and deny the location prompt when you open the app, it'll stay running in the background searching. When your back on wifi, it'll still run, so I just go to developer options and shut it down.

Nice one.... worked like a charm. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
Thanks this app was bugging me. Kept reinstalling itself
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Is the service related to the My Verizon app or is it due to network connectivity, specifically LTE Advanced Calling and/or Wifi calling? And you said you disabled and uninstalled it with a root app, which I can't use. But have you noticed anything untoward after disabling it? I click on it in the Cached Services tab and it says an old app cached but available if needed. Doesn't seem like it's doing anything weird. Phone is working fine and no crazy data or battery drain. (I have a Pixel 2 and not the XL version)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rknee:
Haven't noticed anything detrimental. Though I did do a full wipe before doing all this because I was having some performance lag issues, like home screen swipes not being smooth, increased time while switching between apps.

I would be curious to know what it's actually doing since I never had any Verizon related apps loaded onto the phone.

If you watch the running processes screen during load up you'll see it run for a few seconds and then move over into the cached processes.

I don't know enough about debugging, but it would be interesting to see what it's doing and if it's sending or receiving any information.

But...I no longer have it running so I'm currently unable to do so.

I have a Pixel 2 XL simless on project fi and this app showed up on a security scan with Clean Master so I'd be curious to know how it got on my phone

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] giants8058:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...rizon-services-1-0-89-2-android-apk-download/

It's actually a Google app and not Verizon bloat. That would explain how it got onto the non-Verizon variant of the phone. Still not 100% sure what it exactly does though, but according to this Verizon rep it is a dependency service for other apps which I'm assuming are from Verizon.

It's needed for VZ wifi calling. I froze it, wifi calling instantly stopped. Unfroze instantly worked again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] giants8058:
Wonder what other Verizon services rely on it to function. Figured I'd reach out to Google via the support chat to see if they might know, but they were pretty much useless.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] snovvman:
I'm seeing the same on Pixel 3/3XL when a VZ SIM is inserted--that is--the "My Verizon Services" gets installed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
The conclusions we came to earlier are correct. It gets installed when the SIM is put in. It runs wifi calling for sure, freezing it didn't seem to break anything else. It's on my 3xl now too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] snovvman:
On my 2 XL, putting in a non-VZ SIM (in my case, ATT) after the VZ SIM caused MVS to be disabled.

Ok, that is really cool. Good job Google.

When a VZ SIM is in a unlocked, Google-sourced Pixel, the next OTA will be the VZ variant (if it is available). I've seen this myself.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lwps:
My Verizon services is required for Wi-Fi calling as you have already discovered, it is also needed to run the premium visual voicemail and other premium Verizon services that need to communicate directly with Verizon servers. You can safely freeze the process under most conditions .
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I have disabled MVS and wifi calling still works. The only thing I've noticed is that Verizon can't get into my phone now without my explicit permission

I have an app tracker on both my daughters phones. One had a samsung the other a google pixel. On the google pixel every day this service updates sometimes twice a day... I've tried getting rid of it but it seems to be a built in app and can't be disabled. This has become very concerning to me seeing this is my kids phone. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I found an adb command that got rid of it completely. Not sure where or what it was but it worked. That stupid app kept reenabling itself. It's spyware to me since it allows Verizon to see what you have installed and when you installed it.

Hi, I 've recently bought a moto E4 plus single SIM. It seems to be Vodafone Italia branded. I' be tried to flash it with SP Tools because I wanted to solve the camera issue. The device is not responding now. I read almost everything in xda fora, but didn't revive my phone. It is recognised by computer and SP Tools but when I try to flash a ROM I get a '...to download code is forbidden in that phone' message. I haven't found the exact same stock ROM which is GEORGE nma.26.42-56.

[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Winterwolfbe:
I have asked Huawei for the P9 Plus Oreo update, this is a translation of what they responded. Original message was in Dutch since I am from Belgium. I contacted my local Huawei support.

"We understand that you would love to have Android 8.0 on your device. On this moment, we do not have an exact date on when Android 8.0 will be available for your device, but it is to be expected on Q1 of 2018. Please be convinced that we are working to get all the devices with the required specs on the best software-update version, so most likely for your device as well. But when this is happening is still to be confirmed. We are currently working on the development for Android 8.0 update for the Mate 9, Mate 9 Pro, P10 and P10 Plus. When you will receive the update will also depent from your provider. Some provider tweak the update right before they sent it OTA to their customers. Please check for an OTA update regularly to see if there is an update available via: Settings - System update - Check for system updates."

Unfortunately, unless otherwise specified, the provider can not help but stick to the manufacturer's internal policy, which has clearly decided to cease official support for the successful 2016 line-up here, at least in terms of major-release.

Huawei CEO just announced in his weibo that they just successfully made a breakthrough technology and is currently applying IP. According to him, this technology will drastically improve phone speed, as described by him "it's a difference between running on ground or flying in the sky" when compared to other phones. Not sure what technology is that but the first phone to adopt this technology will be the new honor in this coming June. And it will subsequently release the update to other Huawei and honor phone series. Hope that p9p hardware is still able to have this update when new emui update is available.

Have you changed the site to Chinese? And convert to all10 release

How did you do that? How Google Play was installed
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] xtype23:
If you install the AL10 chinese firmware you can install play store via EMUI app store, pretty simple. Remember that if your phone is dual sim you'll probably be fine, but if it's single sim I reccomend not to change rom. I tried it and everything works fine, but the sim tray is not recognized and your IMEI is corrupted. There is a way to make it work again but it's pretty risky and I decided to not try it 'cause I don't have a backup phone at the moment. For info, I rebranded a C432 P9 Plus.
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] maahmd:
my phone l29-c185 and dual Sim..can I change to all10 safe now? everything work great?

OK and how I do backup for if I need back to c185 again..

and how Receive next update with root?? if stay AL10

AND SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH..
[Huawei P9 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] xtype23:
I'm not 100% sure that it will work since I did not test it with your phone, but it should. Anyway, just to be clear, I don't want any responsibility in case your device bricks or something like that.

Now, you can create a backup with HiSuite and, if things goes wrong, you can reflash your actual firmware and then restore the backup.

As far as I know, you can't receive OTA updates with a rooted phone, so you will need to update your phone manually every time.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] iArvee:
You have to disable driver signing enforcement since you're on W10. (And assuming 64bit). You can do this by going to Recovery > Advanced startup > Selecting #7 (usually #7. As long it's the the one that says disable driver enforcement).

When your computer restarts, you should be able to install the driver properly.
