Why do I have to have all this CRAP on my phone???????

I have all these totally useless apps on my Phone, what the hell is Flipboard?, I dont want it, I dont want music or video's or players or browsers, I JUST NEED A PHONE!!!!!!!

Thanks for the all useful answers by people who might help.
I have a smartphone because there are APs I use, but there is a ton of stuff on the phone that is absolutely useless to me, and some of the apps open by themselves!  Like Flipboard, every time I swipe right, the app opens up.  Everytime I put the phone to my actual ear to use it like a "phone", every app on the phone will open itself, one at a time.  First the clock, then the weather, then the timer, then the alarm, then whatever until the os freezes and my call drops....I have a Note 3.  I am frustrated.  Works fine if I only use the speaker phone.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • Why have i lost all my "notes" on my phone after connecting it to my pc for update?

    Any idea why I would "lose" the contents of my NOTES app when I connected my phone to my PC for backup and update?

    Have you tried to synce this with iCloud or resotre to factory settings? Try to sync it to your Itunes again and lets hope for a good result.

  • HT1420 If I have already deauthorized all this year, but need to deauthorize another computer which is no longer in my possession, how do I do so?

    I am no longer in possession of a computer that was authorized on my account and I cannot deauthorize all for several months still. I do not have access to the computer. I have changed my password, but would feel much better if it was deauthorized entirely.

  • I have just bought all this adobe stuff, bought light room 5 after I entered my serial number, it said I need the previous number. i don't have one??

    I need help. just purchased the daobe light room and can't get further than the serial number, says i need previous number. I'm confused

    If you buy an Upgrade you will need to have a previous version of Lightroom ... a Full version doesn't need a previous serial number.
    Did you buy and "Upgrade" or "Full" version?
    If you wanted full but bought an upgrade you will need to contact Adobe customer support.

  • What is all this crap, I just want to convert a JPEG to a PDF?

    What do I have to do to convert a file from JPEG to PDF?

    There are any number of image editing software products that can convert an image in the Tiff, Jpeg, etc image formats to PDF. Some are even free.
    Another approach would to insert the image into MS Word or MS PowerPoint and save the document as a PDF. There are even free office suites that can process MS Office documents and export them to PDF.
    So many free options to accomplish this task.

  • Why does firefox not load my yahoo toolbar that I have personalized with my apps. I am so try of this crap! What is the problem?????

    When I load Firefox my Yahoo toolbar with all my links that I use does not load! I've been dealing with this for a long time! And as much as I hate Internet Explorer, you are forcing me to go back to it after 3 years with Firefox! Why dose your program have to be so uncooperative. If I can't access my program with ease, what good are you? I don't have this problem with IE. I have been using Firefox because it's so much faster than IE. But If I have to waste all this time trying to re-install Yahoo toolbar or type in Internet addresses, You really are no better, even worse!

    '''Ya I also have the same problem. its working on I Explorer but I don't want to be so slow. '''
    plzz suggest me a solution.
    thanks.

    I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.)  It happens for about 10 of 30/40  files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

    I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

    Your iPhone can take multiple calls. If you answer your phone from one person or call someone and another call comes into you, you will hear a beep and if you pull your phone away from your ear, you will see that you can hang up the call with the 1st person or answer the 2nd call and then swap between the two.
    I have no idea what you mean by you calling someone who is already talking to someone. I've never been able to see on my iPhone that someone I'm calling is already talking to someone else.

    Are you certain the copy of Adobe Photoshop CS is for the Mac OS, not Windows?

  • I publish a 41mb newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separa

    I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
    I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
    I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
    What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

    Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
    Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
    I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

    If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
    You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
    Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
    Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
    I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

  • Why can't we just have separate log ins and be done with this nonsense?

    As the topic says...
    This common login is supposed to be one reason why Adobe can't implement NNTP. But what function does it serve? I've commented in another thread, and below is more or less, what i said there...
    That, i think, was the most assinine idea anyone ever came up with. I see no reason for not having separate log ins for store and forums / downloads. In fact, i can't think of one good reason to combine the two.
    If i were a user of the Adobe store, i would definitely prefer to have a separate login and password for that area. I think most people would. I see a lot of aliases in the forums. In the store, you'd want to use your real name for tax and audit purposes. Moreover, what's to stop people creating two identities anyway? So, the whole purpose of a common id is meaningless.
    Am sure, that even at this stage, it wouldn't be too difficult to separate the two. For instance, whenever i open the forums i see a welcome at the top of the screen. Right above 'Home'. Yet, i still have to login to the forums... what give? Idiotic.
    Adding to the above, doing away with this single log in would also mean an end to this frustration of suddenly getting logged off, randomly staying logged in, etc., etc.

    It reduces the number of accounts people have to remember. I am very
    glad I do not have to have separate accounts for the Adobe site, the
    WebX forums, the Fusetalk forums, the Acrobat.com site, the
    Photoshop.com site, the trainers portal, the Community portal, the
    Partner portal etc.
    I remember the days those were all different accounts and I am glad they
    are gone. I can't wait until the prerelease site and the EDS site are
    fixed to work with the Adobe ID as well.
    In my reply to Kaguyen, I wrote:
    I agree that having a single loging procedure for all the forums was logic and necessary. However, I still completely fail to understand the logic behind tying the Adobe Store and the Forums login procedures. By its very nature, the former needs strong security measures that are not only unnecessary, but also completely absurd in a public forum. I gladly accept being logged out of my bank account and of the  Adobe Store after a fixed period of inactivity. However, I see no reason for, and strongly object to, being logged out of any public forum after any period of time.
    I would very much prefer remembering separate login data for each than been constantly logged out of the forums. Even more so as the login procedures currently in use were not tested properly before being implemented, and logouts occur unpredictably, including many cases where the user is active. Following your logic, why not have just one username and password for everything, including bank accounts, large stores such as Amazon, taxing purposes, etc?
    But separating them just isn't going to happen. And you know it isn't,
    because it isn't a technical decision but a policy choice. So I would
    very much appreciate if you stopped whining and detracting attention
    from issues that do stand a chance of changing.
    Jochem
    Now this is really a gem. I do hope you are not a member of the Adobe higher quarters, and that you are not officially speaking for Adobe, because a company that isn't able to recognize and correct a bad policy decision is doomed. Also, I hope you are willing to explain to us mere mortals which of the very many issues people are (in your words) whining about do stand a chance, however slight, of changing.
