My downloads and speedtest results have been greatly improved from 200k to 300k on G1 to 2.3mbps on S Speed is amazing its like night and day moving from the G1 Or install an app that allows you to remove them, because someone else has already played with the OS sufficiently to allow them to force remove apps that normally you are not allowed to.I got the phone yesterday, cost a bit but I've been running a G1 for the last year and a half and I signed a new contract. I suppose, if you root the phone, and you are technically capable then you should be able to stop apps like Facebook loading unless you specifically load them. Or install a ROM that only has the functional bits that make your phone work, rather than having branded social media apps that are additional to the actual functionality of the phone.įacebook is not essential to making your phone work, so should be un-installable, but most phone manufacturers or networks have customised ROMs that make twitter and facebook load up on boot and cannot be removed. Which is where you get into having to root your phone so you can remove the app, as it's often a default app that cannot be un-installed using the default tools. If you only ever look at Facebook when you choose, rather than getting notifications from the app when someone has posted new stuff, then there's no real point in having the app anyway - as you say, you might as well just access Facebook via the browser. > I suspect the Facebook app is one such. I ought just to have run windows in a sandbox as a virtual machine for tinkering with trying to find ways to unroot a Samsung Ace and put it back to their default state, I could rant further, but it would probably be fruitless. Or you can install another ROM that doesn't have all that shite "branding" stuff installed in the first place, but that may invalidate your warranty, make it difficult to resell the phone later, and may brick it if you are not particularly capable of understanding how to flash an OS onto an embedded computer.Īlso, some of the links on xda-developers (etc) take you to places where if you are not careful you will be downloading an "installer" that will f*ck with your web-browser's search engines, home page and stuff like that, which frankly completely pisses me off big time, particularly as you almost always have to use Windows to get some of this stuff - certainly to run it - and having to set up a sacrificial account on my computer which I'm going to have to wipe is just too much of a pain. If you gain root on a phone, then you can install apps that allow you to remove some of the phone providers "base" apps that you cannot otherwise uninstall. This may vary based on which version of Android you have installed. I've used an app called ZDBox which clears caches and stuff like that, but also has an app management part that shows how much storage each app is using, whether it can be move to SDCard or not, and I think it also shows how much if each it is using. Moving apps to the SD card doesn't free up working memory, it only frees up storage memory.Īnd even moving an app to an SD card will still leave some storage memory being used on the phone's builtin storage. It was telling her she'd run out of memory. My other half's phone has stopped working completely, despite her having moved all the apps she can onto her SD card.
