Removing vodafone apps from German Vodafone Lumia ...

Hi all.
I have the chance to buy a German Vodafone Branded Lumia.
In order to decide, I need to clear up some quastions:
I would like to know if by doin so, when Nokia releases new firmware, I'll be stick to vodafone update channel (In the past I had another Vodafone Nokia that took about 12 months to get update just because Vodafone delayed so much the firmware updates.
Can I remove vodafone preinstalled apps? I have currently a vodafone Android and cannot remove carrier apps which is really anoying - they spend a lot of resources and Idon't need them;
Can I remove the boot splashscreen from Vodafone without rooting (I think not but you might have another opinion)? BTW - does rooting void the warranty?
If I buy a Vodafone German phone with 2 year warranty but move to another country, if I have issues with hardware can I present the telephone into a Nokia shop and benefit from warranty there (other EU country)?
Thanks in advance for all your help. I am not sure this is the right forum to address and I apologise if it is not (anyhow if anybody can help or redirect me, I'd be really happy and thankfull.
Cheers all,

1. When Vodafone approve an OS/Firmware update it will be through the Microsoft update process you receive them. Nokia is not involved in that as far as Windows Phone is concerned.
2. If you can remove them you can do so by a press-and-hold and then select uninstall
3. No, the bootscreen is part of the core firmware and can't be removed in any official way. When if the phone is SIMlocked now and you unlock it later the splash screen will remain as will any Vodafone specific changes to the firmware.
4. Under European Law you are entitled to a EU wide warrranty of 24 months. Any EU country will have to accept the phone and have it repaired. That may however mean they will ship it back to the original country to have that done which will usually take longer.

    How do I remove an app from my ipad that is stuck in paused mode?

    Tap the app so that it can complete then delete it by holding your finger on the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the "x" in the left top corner. This is the iPad guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPad_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

  • How do I remove an app from the menubar

    I deleted an app form my lanchpad when it was requesting a password as resident on the menubar and when I try to quit it at the menubar it does not close.  How do I remove this app from the menubar?

    Command-click it and drag it out. If that doesn't work, find and run an uninstaller for that application.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

    How do I remove an App from my Itunes Account

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    But that doesn't appear to be working properly on iOS 7 - hiding the app on your computer and then logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in may make it hidden on it.

  • How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    I am an IT in a government office who just switched our fleet to iPhones.  We are not permitted to use certains apps that are either not in our data contract, touch the Cloud, or cause cost/personnel issues.  Those items I try to corral in a folder "Unusable Apps" on a separate page where the user has little eye contact with them (outta sight outta mind right).  I go through the motions of turning off every notification, update, share feature, etc. I can find but the icons are still on the phone.  I have a fleet of about 100 iPhones and at least half my users are sneaky & curious and often try to reactivate things I have already hidden or turned off per our agency telecommunications policy.  I just want them removed all together so I don't have to keep going through this and for those who can't fight temptation - they won't have to anymore.  How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    You may want to repost this in one of the iPhone for Business forums:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/iphone_in_business_and_education
    You'll want to ask about Configurator.
    My company uses iPads as part of a Point of Sale System. They have restricted access to many of the built in apps and deployed custom apps.
    Best of luck.

  • Is there a way to remove an app from the list of previously installed apps?

    Is there a way to remove an app from the list of previously installed app?
    The list that comes up when you click on the Purchased icon when updating apps.
    The list is becoming quite large after I installed and tried out a few apps.

    nvm. I found it.

  • How do I remove all apps from my iPhone?

    How do I bulk remove all apps from my iPhone? There has to be a better way than removing each one manually. Thanks.

    It's easiest to plug it into the computer if you have a lot, and click on the Music tab of the iPhone. Then, either Control-A (Windows) or Command-A (Mac) to select all of the songs then press delete on your keyboard. If you have a few, it is easiest to swipe over the individual songs and press delete.

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

    When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library.  When I hit "apply" I got this message:
    Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
    (By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
    Thanks for your help - Pat

    I have the same problem.  I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad -  clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad.  WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

    Hi,
    The v10.6.7 "combo" update addresses MAS bugs.  You can download and install from this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

    How do I pernamantly remove an app from my iPhone 4 ?

    Depends on the app. Built in apps - Safari, Music, itunes, etc. - can't be removed. Apps you have downloaded can be deleted by tapping and holding on any app icon, then taping the X to delete.

  • HT4759 how do i remove an app from icloud?

    how do i remove an app from icloud?

    The only thing you can do is tap and hold the Kindle app icon until it wiggles.  Then tap the "x" next to the icon to delete it.  This removes it from the device.
    Then open the App Store app on the device and look up the Kindle app.  Then tap the icon to download it (again).  That's it, there's no other way to do this.
    When deleting an app from a device, that also removes all settings and other data files associated with that app.  What problem are you having with Kindle?
