Sprint says bloatware issue on the BlackBerry KEYone requires an update to fix

While Sprint is working with BlackBerry to deliver a software update that will eliminate the problem, the carrier did provide us with a workaround for KEYone users to follow. This will uninstall updates to the BlackBerry Launcher and prevent the issue from taking place:
- Select Settings
- Select Apps
- Select Blackberry Launcher
- Select View Details in Play Store
- Uninstall
- Restart Device
"To clarify, Sprint Mobile ID is used to deliver 3rd party applications without the need to pre-load the applications on the device. This process uses less memory compared to pre-loaded applications and allows our customers the choice to download applications, or to easily remove them. Sprint Mobile ID is designed to engage only at the time of device activation, and once the process is complete Sprint Mobile ID is not intended to run again."-Sprint
If you have a Sprint branded BlackBerry KEYone, hold on. Hopefully, the aforementioned software update will arrive soon enough to remove this constant re-cycling of removed and disabled bloatware.
