Hands-free is a pre-installed app that usually appears on Samsung Galaxy phones, especially the phones come from Sprint carrier. This mode sometimes helps us a lot in answering calls and do other actions, but it sometimes make us feel annoyed. As hands-free activation is a stock app from the carrier, so you are not able to uninstall it normally as what you do with third-party apps. If you are looking for a solution to remove Hands-free activation on your Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, then this post will help you do that.

Note:

As ‘activate hands-free mode” issue usually comes from Sprint Galaxy phones, so this method is mainly created for them. We tested it on our Sprint Galaxy Note 5 but the tool still works with other devices.

Requirements:

• Your Galaxy phone must come from Sprint carrier
• Keep up your phone battery at least 50%
• Back up all data of your phone to avoid unwanted issues

Let’s start disabling Hands-free activation from Galaxy devices.
