Hi guys.
I'm getting trouble since I got this S10+
I'm. Coming from S9+ and everything there was smooth as butter.
In S10 too, but there is a strange behavior.
I turn AutoSync off and after a while it's on again.
Checked Bixby routines, tried to catch some logs, but nothing.
Do you guys have any clue what could be turning it on?
Cheers

And it's back.
I've noticed the Sync been turned on yesterday.
I installed 4 new apps:

Good Lock 2019
Task changer, for good lock
Whatsapp plus
Outlook

This is really annoying me a lot

Yes, I'll install again and check.
This issue is making me a permission check freak and I start to realize many apps have too many permission where they shouldn't. e.g. ES File having the permission to change the sync

Have you tried AdHell?
It has the app components feature which is basically not only removing the permission but disabling access to the function all together.
Got to be careful with it, but I had some apps that have absolutely no reasons to access my phone state, GPS and storage for example.
