Cannot remove KSK from Andriod devices

[Jonty Rhodes]

Hi, I am struggling with the support team.  I have logged calls, have tickets open. Each day they send me the same story of uninstalling via the app using the admin code.

The problem is I cant even open the app. It just spins on the login page with "Starting Kaspersky Safe Kids" and a spinning wheel.

Great app.. but chat support and email support does not seem to work or understand.  Picture attached

Just to add to this after some more checking and testing and no answer from Support again.The app is not blocking anything - not websites, not games or any installs at all.

I have updated to the latest OS update and downloaded and tried to re-install it using the download APK file.  Nothing changes.

Renamed the device and deleted the kid's profile and the device from the console portal. 

Somehow it is not communicating with the KSK server I guess because it is not appearing in the portal.

I have now tried the remove KSK from device admin apps via ADB.  Seems this is also not working.

Somehow the app still has the device security policy applied even though it does not work and now has about 10 pages one on the recent apps screen.

Will try sleep on it and come back and post more findings.  There must be a solution to remove it and allow us to get the device to factory reset.

Hello @Jonty Rhodes, 

Welcome!

1. Please post the incident reference numbers that Kaspersky support have provided & tell us:
2. Are *all* incidents still open or have Kaspersky support *merged* any into the initial incident? 
3. The phone brand, OS version & UI?
4. Did support request an AIDA64 Report?
5. if (you've) disconnected KSK from the portal the app will need to be removed *locally* - stop trying to use MyKaspersky.
