Inserting the SIM into the Nexus 6 after the process was over didn’t trigger any installs either, so it appears this step will only occur if you’re going through the initial setup process while the SIM is inserted. As reported, AT&T’s apps popped right up (they opted to include two apps that help you manage your account and monitor usage).ĭerek decided to go through the setup process on a different Nexus 6 unit before inserting a different Straight Talk SIM (again, via AT&T’s network), and sure enough there were no extra apps to deal with. To test this, Phandroid’s Derek Ross had a friend use a Straight Talk SIM (working on AT&T’s network) before setting up a Nexus 6. Testing out our Nexus 6 units, we found that the installation will only be triggered during the setup process while a SIM card is inserted.

Thankfully it seems you can avoid the bloatware altogether. In the case of the Nexus 6, many cringed at the thought of having devices meant to be “pure” loaded up with obscene carrier apps, and for good reason - some of them just go absolutely overboard when it comes to bloatware.

A while back, word got out that Google equipped carriers with the ability to have their apps automatically installed on the Nexus 6 or any other device with Android 5.0 Lollipop during the setup process.
