Of a well-known manufacturers, I noticed Xiaomi to do some real shit: it had an app preinstalled that displayed ads above other apps. But at least when I identified the culprit, it was possible to remove it completely and the problem went away.
- kofejnik 5y agoI had pretty much same experience with my Xiaomi phone (in my case, push ads were coming from a hidden non-removable xiaomi service)
- boondaburrah 5y agoI first ran into Xiaomi when I used a build of their MIUI rom on my Sony Ericsson X10 back in the day. It was amazingly better than default android (2.3/gingerbread era), so I wanted to keep using it. Got a new phone at some point and tried it again, and they were on some real shit by then. All the default built-in programs for like, /music playing/ would force you through a Xiaomi Cloud sign up process just to play music /already on your phone/. Granted, Google is now on the same shit; I found with my latest android they've removed all the basic apps for file browsing, music playing, and the like. Now only "Google Play" versions remain, that of course require a Google account. I feel like the camera and calculator are the only non-play-required default apps left, but I won't be surprised if I find one day that the camera is somehow integrated into Google Photos, which will of course not open until you sign in.
