why is T-Mobile downloading apps without my permission?
T-Mobile play in the app selector have been sending me notification and have been downloaded without my permission or my initiation several times this week and I have uninstalled them several times a...
I found a solution. I went into the settings where it shows every app on the phone and deleted "app selector" and disabled "T-Mobile play". Play wouldn't let me uninstall, but I did uninstall all updates and disabled it. That was a week ago and I haven't had an issue since.
Maybe we agreed to have it pre installed, but I didnt agree to have it reinstalled. The documentation for Appselector also states we can uninstall,, but it doesnt note that it will just reinstall itself. This is purely deceptive in practice. You can stick up for t-mobile if you want, but at the end of the day this is not good service and purely deceptive and misprepresentative of what hte device is sold as. During my 14 day trial i uninstalled this software and it came back after the 14 days, leaving me no time to adequately determine that this device was not a good fit for me based on this behavior. At no point did the description of this product show that it would behave in this fashion and the TOS is very vague about describing this behavior.
