Play protect disable option not available

I'm trying to disable Play Protect in the menu of the play store and/or in Google services menu and the option to do so isn't there. I have a 918 on 10k. Also need help disabling my own personal Hate for Google button.
I came here from a Google search. The option has disappeared on my phone too. I only switched it off a few days ago.
Now it is back on with no option to turn it off. I can only guess Google have deliberately removed the option
My phone is Doogee BL5000 if that makes any difference. Android 7.0

Same. I Googled it, and my phone and Tab s2 tablet do not have the option Google says I should have. I do not even have the option in my phone setting-google services-security to disable "verify apps". I play around with Lucky Patcher sometimes and the play store calls it a virus but now I'm getting a 504 error updating Kaspersky. Everything else updated. I feel it's related.
Why turn it off?

I also use LP and there's an option to disable play protect within LP, then again we shouldn't talk about LP on xda.
I'm getting warnings about 2 apps, the one that can not be mentioned and SELinux Switch. I don't mind Google protecting us but they should at least allow us to disable it if we are confident.
There's no option to disable Play Protect any more. If you choose to "use anyway" you are still stuck with permanent explanation notifications and a permanent warning in Play Store
I can't find any information about this even from Google themselves
Hope somebody on this site can find a fix for this

I must have found the same info as you did. Are you having any issues updating any apps? There should be no reason my anti-virus won't update right now. I did just install xposed and activate the module for the "the app that cannot be named". I'll try to uninstall it when I get a chance.

No, not that I've noticed. Apps are updating as normal as far as I can tell. I do have Magisk and I'm having issues with getting SafetyNet status. Maybe that is affecting something

Check your play store settings. It showed up finally. I turned it off.
Thanks. Found the option and turned off
No option for me to turn off. Nothing in settings. Auto updated itself today.

Caller ID? and Magisk

Is there a way to get caller ID or caller screening on the OnePlus 6T? Prior to the 6T I was on a Pixel 2 and Everytime a call would go through it would say if it's a telemarketer or a scam likely, yet on my OnePlus 6t it does not do that.
I tried to install the Pix3y on Magisk but it bricked my phone.
Also if anyone could recommend any good Magisk modules to try that be great
Thanks
I side loaded the Google dialer.

Install Google dialer framework from magisk and then you will be able to install Google dialer from Google play.

Go to Magisk Manager > Downloads > search for Google Dialer Framework (Created by TJJ) > Download and install.
Reboot.
Clear Google Playstore Data.
Search for "Google Phone" in the PlayStore and install it.
Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Phone App > Select the Google Phone app.
You will receive official updates from the PlayStore.
Enjoy.

Thank you so much, that worked!
One last question if anyone could answer this,
Has anyone got WiFi calling to work on the OnePlus 6T vzn?

It doesn't work, unfortunately. I am not sure if this is something that VZW can address down the road, but you can ask them.

I'm not sure about Verizon specifically. However, my network provider (Three UK) does not officially support the OnePlus 6T. I was able to activate the VoLTE option using the magisk module "VoEnabler". It allows me to use the functionality now. Your millage may vary.

Looking for Popup Blocker for Browser.

Anyone know of a good popup blocker for browsers?
Mainly Chrome or S' Internet?
I don't the really mind the ads, I kinda get it.
But the pop ups are so intrusive, if it just pop outs once sure that's fine. But if it's happening everytime or every page reload/change, that's different.
Just disable popups in:
settings>advanced settings>popups: never show

Doesn't work against intrusive ones.
Woudn't have asked if it does.
But thanks anyway.

Is it from playstore? Or a plugin/externsion?
There's so many "adblock" apps out there, care to share a link.
Don't mind if I have to pay, but want to pay for the right one that actually works.
Samsung Internet will offer you a list of available content blockers if you click in its menu. Try Adblock fast and or Disconnect
Adguard from the same list works well
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
Also recommend adguard.
Tale care.
I use adguard for rooted/UnRooted & it blocks ads system wide (apps, games, & browser ads) but requires a small yearly subscription. If your using & only wish to have blocking in Samsung native browser I'd recommend adguard content blocker as the others did. In Samsung browser I believe that you can use up to 5 blockers at once, depends on what & how much you want to block. Happy surfing ?
Blokada
Download F-Droid, install Blokada.

It's not really the ads I'm annoyed about if they're not that intrusive it's fine but the annoying popups are a different story.
But I'll try Adguard. I'm using adblock browser recommended a few post back for the sites I goto that has ridiculous pop ups.

AdGuard pro (paid) will block popups, ads, trackers, offers multiple DNS servers (I use encypted adguard dns) and you can choose app you want to use it with and without. If you can spend around $15 for the 1 year subscription you won't be disappointed but if you find something else (maybe free) more power to ya, whatever gets the job done friend.
Cheers.
Congratulations You Won Ads
I am looking for a pop up browser to block the "Samsung Galaxy Note 9 User You Are A Winner" ads. Does anyone have any suggestions I am using Adblock fast right now but they still pop up. Is there a way to block or remove these ads?
Try a app (apk) not on play store that also has bilt in vpn. Its called blokada.
You can get extension,s from chrome market,! I prefer Firefox focus for my browser ,and they offer tons of Droid extensions,,and tools
its easy and fast.u can ad any search engine u want

Want to fix Google Cloud Messaging ports(GCM):
-> Removing any all Amazon's bloatware.
-> Using Xposed or Magisk modules to fix GCM ports.
-> Install a custom ROM to your Fire tablet like LineageOS.
-> Install a full Google API services APKs (Google API services' version is same as Android version).

These look like individual options if so I would gravitate more towards this one:

I used the fire tools in XDA to remove most Amazons bloatware, except for Amazon shop and the app store to update Play store uninstallable apps like Netflix, Disney+, etc..
I installed the Play Store and Google Assistant, etc.. using the same tool. Where can I find the full google API services? Thanks!

Can you see the apps with Google Cloud Messaging API. Check the GCM's permissions.

privacy questions on my op5

Hey all
My setup: twrp, magisk, lineageos 16,
I see that Google installed its Bluetooth contact tracing app or system or whatever it is called on my op5 without my consent.
Other than completely removing Google services from my device, is there a way to remove that contact tracing component from my op5?
When I disable Bluetooth in the settings, does it completely disable it, or does Google or any other applications have a way to bypass the disable and keep using it?
Does this disabling of other sensors (WiFi network gps) apply as well, can be bypassed by Google or other applications?
Regards

Google doesn't need your consent, because it is not your device. It theirs, if you have Gapps installed. And yes, Google is able to manipulate gps/bluetooth/wifi also without your 'consent'. It is simple: no Gapps, you control the device; yes Gapps, Google controls it.

If you mean the COVID Bluetooth tracing, that is only active if your country's government is cooperating with Apple+Google for this. You'd need to install your government's app to activate that feature, otherwise it is disabled.

That is not true. If that would be true, Google would be dead by EU laws already.

It is true. EU privacy laws don't deal with the way Google manages your device, only with consent regarding user data.
If you have Google Services, Google is the administrator of your device: it can delete/install anything it wants to without your consent, which by the way, you have already provided by installing Google Services.
Thank you guys for your responses.
I am talking about the covid Bluetooth activation.
Regards
