Yes....they are protected by the Manufacturer ( Motorola),and cannot be deleted. Another good reason to find a Custom Rom for this piece of S--T.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadK9:
Hm...

I also have this device, G72 but this app is not present.

I only have "PAKS Notification" as a system app which can be disabled or force stopped.

If I try to force stop it I get the same message saying the option is blocked by "your IT admin".

If I disable it i am warn about android or other apps using it might no longer function as intended... as soon as I choose disable I get a fc of Settings app. SO, you cannot disable this one also...

These PAK versions of my Motorola G Pure are locked from this same app, it gives me "phone is financed" error and a blue U.S. Cellular screen asking to put back a sim. BUT my tmobile works BEFORE turning wifi/data on so how can we bypass this crappy PAK / Trustonic / Telecom Client app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray.Marx:

So, it's illegal spyware created by the Chinese commies to dicktaste what you can do with your phone until you finish paying for it?!? Motorola needs to be moved back to the USA!!!

Hey all.

I have a moto g pure set up for TracFone....I found the paks app listed under my admin apps and was able to simply turn it off, at least from being an active admin app, from the admin apps settings. Not sure if that's completely disabling it at all, I'm just a newbie of xda, I've only barely brushed the surface of anything we do through these forums and I've been a member back n forth for the better part of the last 4 or 5 years already, but it seemed super suspicious to me as well... Unfortunately, I'm a female living in a town where trafficking and hacking are at an all time high no matter what part of the state you visit, and I've been known to be in with the wrong crowds here and there, meaning, if it can be flashed and belongs to a female and they have the know how, DON'T LEAVE IT ALONE WITH THEM...I honestly don't really understand flashing at all but would like to learn to keep myself and my kids safe if nothing else... But that's what I thought it might be. When I disabled it, I, however did not get any warning or anything like that. This device, however, as well, came to me completely unlocked, no frp bypass or anything needed when I set it up, and from what I've figured out, at least I'm my state, Colorado, service only has to be active on a TracFone for 3 straight months in order to carrier unlock a tracfone device. I dunno if that helps or is any more helpful for much of anything other than more evidence of absolutely nothing, but there's that, in any case... Lol. Jinkies!

Lenovo is also mentioned in the thread, I here are those two Lenovo apk's inside official rom , Motorola Android 13

I have attached two apk. I don't think it is suspisius but still, you do not want anything to be able. This is EnterPrise Solution for company-Admin-Remote-Tools, at least!

Those apps couldnt be disabled in the settings.

I'm not that good with coding or .com files, APK's I have same garbage in mine some files have 4-5 copies of things. I found an app on GitHub "Magisk" I'm thinking bout getting in to an old phone n checking out how to remove system file, apps or whatever don't look right.. like i said im not that tech savvy bit willing to do trial & error.. Customers should be able to buy a phone( text, calls, apps Google, google playapps that get it going) an let the customer install what he needs or wants..if I ruin an old phone, i won't delete same things...

{Mod edit: Inappropriate language edited. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcluvsme:
OK... here you go..

Root the device with Magisk. Install F-Droid. Install De-Bloater using F-Droid. Open De-Bloater-Active Applications, "system" Remove "Paks", Upper Right-six blue dots,"reboot".

This should help.

Complely stock besides bootloader unlocked and root of course. It's literally the only module I'm using besides systemless hosts and soon as I turn it off and reboot it works again so I know it's this module doing it

[Android Head-Units] famadorian:
Found this 13.3 inch head unit on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Philosin-Universal-Rotatable-Navigation-Modification/dp/B09PTJLRQG

Says its brand is Philosin and it seems the only Philosin product in existence. I can't even find a website for that brand;)

It's exactly the same as the Joying unit, it seems, but are they the same brand?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dutch_in_seattle:
My Pixel 7 Pro has started to randomly shut down every so often. Completely out of the blue, the screen will just go black and I need to long-press the power button to turn it back on. This started happening a couple of days ago. No idea why.

I don't know if there's any correlation, but this started happening after the December update.

Is anyone else seeing this, too? Any thoughts on what could cause this and how to remedy it?

Thanks!

--Ron
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] V0latyle:
No, but I know who can fix it for free, because it's a brand new phone that's still under warranty...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dutch_in_seattle:
Of course I'll reach out to Google, but I wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this, too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DroidVoid:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
Have you backed up to Google one and done by a reset?

A reset might solve your problem?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bupahs:
I've read on GitHub that it's an issue with the 5g hand over to LTE on the T-Mobile network.. I had the same issue until I switch to use LTE and it's not shut off since. Hopefully Google is aware and it gets fixed

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] cultofluna:
This issue exists from October...

After December update more users reportthing this

Pixel 7 pro freezes and reboots - Google Pixel Community
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lebangood:
This happened to me this morning. American Verizon service with December update installed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Happening to me even on custom ROM. I'm really wondering if this is an actual hardware issue rather instead of the OS issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MarcoReckless:
The december beta had this problem so it might apply to the stable one as well, I suggest you update to the stable january build.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MarcoReckless:
If they're based on the december build it might be due to the kernel (the december build had some issues), since I updated to the january build I did not have any other random reboot.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] shinigenEddy:
I tried updating to TQ1A.230105.002 today which I think is the latest stable Jan build..? And just got the random shutdown again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MarcoReckless:
I'd suggest to do a full factory reset while flashing all partitions, that's what I did and I don't have this issue anymore, otherwise it could very well be a hardware issue, but doing a full wipe is worth a try.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] shinigenEddy:
I did do a full factory reset before flashing.. I was surprised to still have the shutdown issue as well since it must be a hardware issue then.. but it's so weird that a hardware issue would just randomly surface without dropping the device or anything at all..? Or could it be that the January Stable Build still has the software issue? I'll reach out to Support tomorrow.. for now I'm going to try putting it in my pocket with the screen facing up and not towards my leg and seeing if that makes a difference.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zenthek:
I didn't have this issue, i updated to the January patch and everything was ok, now today my phone started to shutting down tl not sure what is going on
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DacrioS:
I have the same problem since yesterday. Every time I block the phone and put it in my pocket, the next time I get it it's turned off. I'm sure the pocket isn't pressing any button, but it keeps powering off. I bought it on launch day and I had 0 problems with it until now.

EDIT: Updated applications since yesterday (22 of January): Google, IFTTT and my bank application.

EDIT2: I've just tested to use it on Safe Mode, and I got the same behaviour. I suspect it must be some screen or screen sensor problem... of maybe It has something to do with the fingerprint sensor.

EDIT3: After triple-checking (my phone was in the December update) it finally has updated to the January one. I'll update with more feedback after update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zenthek:
I changed to only LTE and for some time it was not shutting down. Since pixel pro doesn't have a cache partition like others phones i opened the "files app from Google" and i cleaned the junk files , i rebooted the phone and since then i have no issues at all. Maybe is a coincidence but it's working for some days without shutting down
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MarcoReckless:
I had the same issue on the december beta, after wiping the device fully and flashing the january stable this issue disappeared; some users also reported this on GrapheneOS on previous Pixels so I just think it's a bug that went unnoticed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] trout_of_death:
I started having this issue after the February 5th Update. After reading through this thread it got me into thinking. I couldn't reproduce the issue into safe mode, I uninstalled new 3rd party apps and that didn't fix it. However, disabling the flip to shhh setting did! So disabling the sensor for when your phone is placed upside down to silence the phone seems to have resolved the problem for me. Let me know if this fixes it for others.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] davidstepura:
So same problem here, random shut downs while in my pocket, long press to power up, temperature check and no over heating. After a couple of chat sessions with FI support which were worthless, finally spoke to Google support and they seemed to be convinced that there is a problem, I think they know. They agreed to a replacement and awaiting a new phone from Google, we shall see.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DacrioS:
I'll try turning that option off. Since my last post all I did was keeping it outside of my pocket...

EDIT: Phone continues turning off when inside the pocket of my jeans.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] FedericoUY:
Oh no, I just purchased this phone, and now im seeing this. Please tell me this phone has not the same hardware issue that had the pixel 4 xl: THE SCREEEN BENDING PROBLEM.

This old pixel 4 xl phone was full of people including me, that had random shuts down when phone was in the pocket (most commonly, on jeans pockets), and resulted to be the damn screen bending problem.

To check for this, you need to bend gently the screen from the sides, and see if it shuts down. I'll leave a video for reference on the pixel 4 xl problem:

Please, if this is the case also on the P7pro, report back, and tell when the phone has been purchased.

>> dutch_in_seattle what did you end up doing? Did you replaced your phone? Was the new one behaving ok?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
That's a negative on bending or twisting 20 differents ways and phone shuts down. I also do not have an issue of phone shutting down while in my pocket. If you also have been reading this thread a handful of people are having this shutdown issue. You are probably safe.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] FedericoUY:
So you don't have the issue, and bending in the corners (gently of course) will not make it shut down? Is that what you meant?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
Correct, I do not have that issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] FedericoUY:
Ok thanks for the input.

Anyone with the shut down issue happening, to check the bending problem of the video? If this bending problem reproduces on anyone with the issue, this is strictly a hardware problem...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] aswintyv:
I have this same issue. The worst situation is that it shuts down just with a palm covering the phone.

I had sent it for a service warranty and the folks just returned my phone with a simple factory reset saying they didn't find anything wrong. I've had numerous phones in the past and this is by far the worst. It's even more amazing if we realize that the phone is from one of the best software companies in the world.

Here is the video recording in full glory :
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dodgebizkit:
I get this and a weird wireless charging bug, but only since the last update...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] FedericoUY:
Received mine yesterday. Not having this issue (nor the bending one), and the phone updated to last public android 13 release yesterday. Was trying out android 14 beta on my p6pro, but found it somewhat buggy (mostly the FP sensor not unlocking the device and so), so in this device will wait a while for a more stable release.

The issue you are having, does not seem like a hardware issue, so I found good news on that.

Why don't you try out android 14 to check?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
I've had random shutdowns a couple times since I've gotten back. Well, more like hard locks and I've had to force a reset with up-vol and power.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DacrioS:
That's exactly my problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dodgebizkit:
I've been having this issue for a while..ive sent off my phone for repair.

It seems to be related to temperature. The screen would start to flicker green and then turn off completely but the phone would still be switched on. I'd have to hard reset to get the screen back on.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] anjankarki:
I am having the same issue with my google pixel 7 pro ..😥
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
Contact ubreakifix if you're in the states. I made a post regarding this exact issue
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dodgebizkit:
Mine had the screen failure (it's a power issue) repaired but the green flicker remained, in fact it got worse, though software updates improved it somehow but never fixed it, so I've now got a replacement. It's a refurbished unit but it has no issues so far.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DacrioS:
I've tryed installing the Android beta.

It keeps shooting down in my pocket or under pressure.

Now sometimes I get this screen for a few reboots after the problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
maybe try to reinstall/reflash the beta OTA using Android Flash Tool or manually (with the beta image) if you know how or that's how you initially installed it...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] i42o:
ITS A DEFECT. YOU CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE BY TAPPING AROUND THE SCREEN HARD WITH YOUR FINGERNAILS. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO TAKE IT TO YOU BREAK I FIX BEFORE THE ONE YEAR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY GOES OUT AND HAVING THEM REPLACE BOTH THE SCREEN AND THE BATTERY THE TECHNICIAN THAT SERVICED MY PHONE DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN SO I TOLD HIM THAT BASED ON SEARCH RESULTS THAT I HAVE FOUND IT'S ONE OR THE OTHER OR MAYBE BOTH SO HE JUST FIGURED TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE SCREEN AND THE BATTERY AND IT FIXED MY ISSUE
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DacrioS:
I've finally decided to send it to get repaired after recording how to replicate the error (in my case, it's by pressing hard on the left middle of the screen).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LeshaRB:
Before A14 everything was fine... I decided to upgrade. Now this bug appears on every firmware. Can this be fixed somehow?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LeshaRB:
I noticed that after these failures fingerprints disappear
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
If you have an unlocked bootloader....

It can be tedious setting everything back up, even after making a backup from a root backup option, but if you're desperate, you should consider flashing the Full Factory firmware image with wipe command intact (not just the regular ol' factory reset or OTA) and see if it all still happens after a fresh install....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LeshaRB:
I flashed the phone on https://flash.android.com with the "wipe" option enabled.

It’s strange that before A13 worked fine, but after A14 the problems are already there

I managed to clear a couple of errors using LogFox...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LeshaRB:
I'm just really tired of it.

Press the off button

The screen goes blank

Put phone in pocket

Get it

The phone is not working

It's a sleight of hand, nothing more.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
If after a Full Factory flash & wipe, and you running barebone stock for a day or two (no extraneous apps; you never know what apps might be causing the issue), through process of elimination it proves that it's not software -- which leaves only one other possibility; hardware. And as it is hardware, you should put in for a warranty repair/replacement...you should hurry because if this was a launch P7P, it's almost been about a year by now...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LeshaRB:
Can the Magisk module somehow affect the Android kernel?

Change it or recovery or bootloader.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
I was wondering how A14 was going to be with the P7P. My phone has gone back to crashing a lot and rebooting. It's getting really annoying.

I've already had it warrantied twice for freezing issues. If it happens again after upgrading to A14 I'm deeming it a lemon. I'll be wanting a brand new phone or a refund. Hopefully they'll have fixed the hardware by now ...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
You're on your 3rd device ("warrantied twice", I'm surprised they didn't just send you a RMA; did you still have the same IMEI both times you got it back?), and still having these issues....you sure it's not something you're running? Running it barebone stock for at least 3 or 4 days, does it exhibit the same issues?

In any case, I wanted to reply more-so on the fact that if your device is a launch device, the 1 year warranty will probably be coming to an end soon, so you maybe should jump on that sooner rather than later....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
Actually it was repaired twice under warranty - screen replaced.

It does it even on stock. While I have always rooted my phones and unlocked my BLs, this time it was with the hope of solving the issues.

I'm not running anything fancy - I'm rooted and have a few modules (systemless hosts, LSPosed for AOSP tools, Universal Safety Net Fix, and Kirsasuka kernel). The kernel has actually helped things over stock. OS is stock.

I ran all of the same things on my OP9 with no issue.

I updated to A14 last night and it's as bad as it's ever been. I'm going to put a ticket in with Google today. If I get a replacement, I'll probably just sell it and go back to my OP9. Despite some annoying quirks, it's been bulletproof compared to this disaster.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] yuppicide:
My phone was working with no issues for about 5 months and then Android 14 came to Tmobile. A few days later the screen shut off and has a green line on the top of the screen. The phone was still on and I have to long press power to get it to come back on.

They want to warranty my phone and do a screen replacement, but that's been a nightmare so far. They told me to drive to ubreakifix which is 25 minutes from me. They did not have a screen in stock. No worries. They said another store 35 minutes away has one and informed the store I am on my way. The store informs me they do not have a screen in stock and they wouldn't replace it anyway. Because it's warranty they want to keep the phone for 48 hours.

I'm not giving up my phone for 48 hours as it's my only alarm clock to get me up for work. I also use the phone for work almost every day.

I wanted to upgrade to the Pixel 8 Pro, but Tmobile says I don't have enough credit so I have to pay off over $600 on the phone before I am eligable to buy another phone on payments.

But in general Android 14 seems to have bugs after upgrading. Call screening wasn't working, and some other stuff.

I want to flash stock Android 14 but oem locked.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LeshaRB:
The Pixel 8 Pro doesn't solve all problems.

The problem of the screen turning off when pressed has been solved. There was a jumper on the frame in the area where the cable was attached (for what purpose) - you can see it in the photo. When pressing the screen in this area, the tracks shorted out, and the screen and phone turned off. I cut the jumper, cleaned it, and assembled it. Everything is fine.

I have several Joying head units and none of them supports a bluetooth keyboard.

[OnePlus 9] tconn:
A couple days ago my mobile data just stopped working. I had a couple updates I had been ignoring because it would remove the root. I finally gave in and ran the updates. Data returned. Root gone. I connected to my home computer to begin the root process, but my phone would not be recognized by the PC and would not show anything related except that it was charging. It's a new cable, barely used. I tried on my work computer with a different cable and still nothing except "charging". To the best of my knowledge, it connected to my computer just fine prior to the updates.

I've checked Developer Options for anything that says "USB". Toggled USB debugging, revoked authorizations, etc. "Select USB Configuration" is a weird one, all I have are: "Charging", "MTP", "PTP", RNDIS (USB Eathernet)", and "MIDI". But in "Default USB Configuration" I have: "No data transfer", "File transfer / Android Auto", "MIDI", "PTP", "USB tethering". I've selected every option, but (again) no reaction from my phone or PC.

My final options are wipe and reset, or take it to a store; I'm wanting to avoid both of these if possible. Does anyone have an idea of what else I can try?
