Allowing Android users to uninstall preloaded 3rd party Applications.

Here's an idea that is a well known problem with Android Tablets that causes many to have to root their tablets to be able to achive getting rid of unwanted bloatware. While I know there are plenty who love to tweak their tablets by flashing custom ROM's and the like.Many of us would just like to beable to uninstall "UNWANTED" Third Party Apps. I for one just bought an A1-810-L888 Tablet.And on it I find McAfee AntiVirus, Amazon Kindle, Amazon MP3, Ebay Application, As well as the Amazon Shopping Application just to name the few that drive me crazy. While I know that we can go into settings and disable these if we don't want to have to look at them or waste time updating constantly applications that we do not want or use. Why shouldn't we have the ability to uninstall them if we so choose?It is no different then if we buy a windows pc we are allowed to uninstall them on these computers, Why then shouldn't we be able to uninstall them from our Android Tablets? The same reason here using Android is the same reason I delete a lot of the Bloatware off of my Windows Computers, I neither want them or need them. PLUS it saves SSD Space... For example I don't like McAfee but instead prefer Norton's, If I want to shop on Ebay or Amazon I do so through my Browser{s}.The Amazon Android Store App I use because I have used this app for years.But others may not choose to do so. Just some what I think are useful ideas.To help those of us who don't want to have to root their phones just to get rid of stuff we don't need! THANKS...  

OK point made.All I was wondering is why it isn't installed like an app that we install ourself? The Software Mfg would still get the chance of someone deciding to use it as I know many do in a Windows install.Hey it's there we can't use anything else. ie: A Ford it's got Ford parts I can't use anything else but Ford Parts.I know plenty of people like this. I am not arguing the price factor as I know it's your way of keeping the prices down, As Amazon does the Kindle.It's just would be nice to have a little more Freedom with our tablets.But for the money I can live with just disabling it. I just came back and re read my comment and you had mentioned about noboady saying.HEY This stuff is GREAT load us up with more!!! I had bought an A500 a few years back that had came with a few FREE Games of decent quality which I truly enjoyed.But I was saddened when I had to send it back to for service and they did a wipe of the SSD when I got it back and I went to download the games again they told me that I "NO LONGER" had the right to the games.I noticed the A1-810 also had the sametype of Games that I am most grateful for.But I had to send it back as well for the dreaded BootLoop problem and it is due back here in a couple of days, I don't expect to be able to download them again and pickup where I had left off, Like I can when I download one from lets say Google Play or Amazon.My point is this if I am not going to be able to reuse lets say the things that are put on my tablet as so called gifts, If I should have to have my tablet reserviced or I have to ReSet it back to factory specs.That are also put on there so as I can not remove them ie: Bloatware. Then what would make me want to shell out hard earned money for the use of Apps that are considered Bloatware?If in the end I lose the use of them if I have to doing anything to reset the tablet back to Factory Specs, ONLY to come back and shell out more of my Money to use them again once I had already paid for them. Although I will give Kudos to Acer for one thing though.You don't put near the amount of Bloatware on your tablets that other Mfgs do.And we are talking tablets in the $500 range.Both my A500 and A1-810 have almost 13gb of 16gb usable space avalible, As compared to a few others I've seen have only 11gb of 16gb free.So for that I think we are all Grateful.

  • Registry Uninstall of 3rd party applications

    While browsing the forums I found
    this thread. I'm wondering if it is possible to modify it so it will look into a CSV file that contains the names of the applications I want to remove?
    If this is helpful please mark it so. Also if this solved your problem mark as answer.

    Sorry for the late reply. Been really busy, I will add this into the code today and see if that works.

    What does the above actually mean? As when I looked in the control panel add and remove, they were still there?
    If this is helpful please mark it so. Also if this solved your problem mark as answer.
    That's the results of trying to use the Uninstall() method of Win32_Product. The ReturnValue is the important value there. A result of 0 is what will signify a successful uninstallation. Since you're getting 1603, are you sure that you're running PowerShell
    elevated (right click, 'Run as administrator')?
    EDIT: Here's the results from my latest successful test:

    EDIT2: This is why I'm suggesting to NOT pipe the results of the Uninstall method to Out-Null, until you're sure that you've got the script in working order.

  • 3rd party applications not working (ie: word & photoshop) Help!

    Hey,
    I have been using my macbook without problems for about 7 months now, but last week it started refusing to open 3rd party applications such as word, or photoshop. I tried every application that wasn't apple software and the only one that works now is ableton live. All the non-working applications are legal, i tried reloading the microsoft office software, and even though the reload was successful, the problem still exists when trying to open any of those applications.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi Red and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Sometimes when apps won't open, it's because the hard disk is full. Here's how to check to see how much free space is available.
    Launch Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left. Now, tell her to look at the bottom of that page where it says: Capacity and Available. Rule of thumb... never allow free disk space to fall below 15 - 20%. It takes a minimum of 15% free disk space just to boot a Mac.
    If that isn't the issue, because she can't open PS or Word, it might be a corrupted font that she has used in both those applications. Tell her to try this. She needs to find this file:
    com.apple.FontBook.plist It's here: /Users/HerName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file as any Mac will create a new one for her.

  • 3rd party application for album artwork?

    Are there any GREAT 3rd party applications for automatically bringing in album art to iTunes? I've got a bunch of old music that the automatic function within iTunes is not getting anything for. I even tried to clean up some of the info (i.e. make sure it had artist, song name, etc in proper fields), but nothing.
    If that or another app would correct song data also (probably asking a bit much) that would be awesome. I see where some of my very old stuff from back in the MP3 days will have Artist Name-Song Name as the title.
    Any help is appreciated. I dont have a week to do this manually!

    MP3Freaker would be your best bet. I've used others but MP3Freaker works flawlessly, and allows you to do three songs for free to show how it works, and how well. It's $23 but it saved me hours of painstaking work going through my 5500 songs

  • 3rd party application sync failures -- BES policy?

    I have a BB curve (8310, ATT v4.2.2.170) which is synch'd via BES to corporat email/etall.   I have the BB desktop manager installed on a PC.  The BBDM can: install & remove applications, add/remove multimedia (songs, photos), access the storage card.    When tryign to use the BBDM to synchronize 3rd party application data (aka,  a password keeper like SplashID or Ascendo Data vault), the syncronization fails.   I did install BBDM to use the internet service, not redirector.
    My question:   are their policies which my IT group might have set that prevent the synch of 3rd party data.  We tried changing the "allow 3rd party to use USB" to true, that did not help.    If the security policy forces data encryption on the device, could that prevent the sync from happening?       The desktop all looks correct (right BB id, etall), and the app on the BB think's its been synchd, but the data never moves between the two and I get error messages akin to "Synchronization Failed; Please try again. Technical details: tableSystem=NULL"  (this from SplashId).
    Thanks

  • How do I manage open files in Server 2012 without resorting to 3rd party application?

    How do I manage open files in Server 2012 without resorting to 3rd party application?

    Thanks

    Wouldn't it make sense to place it in the server manager / shares section?
    I mean, second to creating or finding a share, isn't this what most users would be after?
    For like 20 years we've been trained to right click to find stuff Microsoft is hiding, and right click don't do nothin' here.  You gotta go hunting under tools.   Or, forget the new half-baked interface with half of what you need and go old school,
    direct to Start - Computer..Right Click.. whoops... that doesn't exist anymore.....
    Drool.........drool.............Find that hiding, blinking start button in a RDP session, click start after three trys,  and TYPE IN "Computer Management" .  Right Click, Pin it to your desktop, pin it to the start screen, pin it to the taskbar, send
    it to OneNote, and upload it to skydrive  so you can find it again, then get back to what you were doing....to find the cottin' pickin open files and kick your users off so you can have your way with the server.

  • 3rd party application internet connection issues

    I downloaded several apps from App World and all the ones requiring an internet connection fail to connect?  I have a 8330 with OS 4.5.0.77 on Verizon.  I can receive email and use the internet browser just fine.  Any idea how to enable the 3rd party applications to use the internet?  I have set the permissions for all the apps to "Allow".

    What are some of the apps that aren't connecting?

  • 3rd party Applications

    How do I delete a 3rd party application. I installed an HP printer and it did not work. I want to uninstall the application and the associated programs. How do I delete them. I am new to the MAC

    You can drag the application to the trash, but there could be some other crud that's installed that won't get deleted. This is quite likely with a printer installation, and especially with HP printers as they have tons of crud.
    Try re-running the installer itself and seeing whether it offers an "uninstall" option. If not, go to HP's site where you got the drivers and look for uninstallation instructions.

  • SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching

    Hi,
    We're getting ready to tackle the phenomena known as Java patching, and I was wondering if I could get your personal preference; SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching?
    I probably should give a little background on my environment; It's a university atmosphere, so unless it's policy, you have to ask nicely...can't tell people to do things they don't want to; multiple version of required versions of Java for what ever reason,
    which need to be identified, grouped together, and then upgrade as much as possible without breaking their old applications.
    I was thinking that Application Management probably made more sense where it is more robust, especially for removing multiple installs of Java on a single system, but Software Updates/SCUP looks like it was built for this type of patching, so I'm a bit confused
    why SCCM would have two components which essentially did the same thing.
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    For Java version management specifically you can already achieve a lot by using the Application Model in CM12.
    You can define supersedence between the different versions, just make sure to opt for uninstall of the older version when defining it.

  • Opening and closing 3rd party applications ??

    Does opening and closing 3rd party applications with the click of the home button actually close the application, or, does it continue running in the back ground ?
    I noticed most of the 3rd party application don't have a close/exit option, and wonder if opening and closing several applications with the home button can cause the many crashes I have read from fellow iPhone owners ?

    Clicking the Home button may close the application depending on the application itself. Some applications that use the network may close when going to the Home screen. To force quit any application, hold the Home button down for about 6 seconds until the Home screen comes up.

  • RFC( SAP R/3)  to  XI  to  3rd party Application

    Hi All,
    we have an 3rd party application to which we want to send some data from R/3. We are using XI as the middleware.The process has to be triggered from R/3 side. We are not using Idoc's here. We are planing to use the RFC through which the data transfer has to be done.
    We are creating a BAPI with import, export and tables parameters.Basically the RFC is in SAP R/3 System.We need to send the data in the table to XI.
    In this case how the RFC destination has to be created and how the RFC to be called in the R/3 system to export the Data to XI system.
    Answers are highly appreciated.
    Thanx and Regards,
    Durga.

    Hi,
    <i>>>>In this case how the RFC destination has to be created</i>
    Check this blog by Michal it shows you step by step
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/configuring-the-sender-rfc-adapter--step-by-step
    <i>>>>how the RFC to be called in the R/3 system to export the Data to XI system.</i>
    Hope you are aware of normal way of calling function
    CALL Function "FM Name"
    Export
    Tables
    in this case the RFC should be called as follows
    CALL Function "FM Name" destination <SM59 Destination>
    Export
    Tables
    The above is for Sync call and if you want to make a Async call that is you are not expecting any reponse from the target then
    CALL Function "FM Name" IN BACKGROUND TASK destination <SM59 Destination>
    Export
    Tables
    Thanks,

  • Adobe Reader 9.x does not retain preferences when called by a 3rd party application.

    I have an in-house application that utilizes .pdf and .xfdf files. We use Adobe 9.x when viewing these files and when I open them natively from Windows explorer they Display In Browser and all my Trust Manager preferences are intact. If I use the 3rd party application to open the files they Display In Browser but none of my TrustManager settings are present and I am forced to trust the document each time I reopen Adobe. If I leave Adobe Reader open for the duration of the session that I am using my 3rd party application though the Trust Settings for the document I loaded are present but as soon as I close Adobe they are gone until I Trust the document when opening it again. Any insight as to why this might be and how I could rectify the issue would be appreciated.

    We are using 9.1.1.
    We notice that this option is no loger available in this version.  The below option will keep the form data available even if you exist out from the sessions.
    Keep Forms Data Temporarily Available On Disk
    Retains forms data in the Internet browser if you briefly go to
    another web page and then click Back to return to the PDF form.

  • Any links i open from 3rd party applications do not open in firefox.

    To be more precise, when i click a link, Firefox does open however it does not visit the URL. It simply opens a new session. I have started Firefox in safe mode and the problem occurs, i have reset firefox to default preferences and the problem still persists. I can see no problems in the setting of Firefox itself and have already tried all the fixes available.
    I am using Firefox 29.0.1 on Fedora 20 64x

    As i stated, when i click links from 3rd party applications, such as skype; a youtube link or something similar. Firefox opens a new session however it does not visit the clicked url

  • What is Oracle's recommendation of enabling a 3rd Party application for Online Patching? Is this a requirement with EBS R12.2 or is this something that can be done in phases for e.g.:

    Hello -
    My Oracle Partner account uses Oracle EBS, Fusion Apps and is in the process of migrating from 10g to 11g;  forwarding their question here -
    What is Oracle’s recommendation of enabling a 3rd
    Party application for Online Patching? Is this a requirement with EBS R12.2 or
    is this something that can be done in phases for e.g.
    Phase 1: Oracle EBS utilizes Online patching while
    the 3rd Party application does not leverage edition based
    redefinition for Online patching
    Phase 2: 3rd Party application is modified
    to leverage edition based redefinition Online patching mechanism.
    I would appreciate any insight/recommendations you may have
    regarding Online patching for EBS 12.2.

    This seems to be related to EBS an may be better answered in the EBS forums as this forum is dedicated to Fusion.
