The KEYone is available as an unlocked phone, and that’s probably how most BlackBerry fans will buy it. However, there’s a Sprint version, too. Owners of the Sprint version recently reported an aggravating battle with bloatware, which was constantly reinstalling itself on the phone. Sprint has now confirmed this is a bug, and it’ll be fixed soon.
According to multiple accounts from KEYone owners, the SprintID app is frequently waking up and checking for the presence of pre-installed apps like Amazon, Audible, Facebook Messenger, and Lookout.
Sprint says KEYone’s bloatware bug will be fixed in an OTA update was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
