I also went through the application list, and checked all that COULD be disabled from this menu. If anyone knows if any of these are safe or effective to turn off, or what apps/services they pertain to (other than the obvious) that would be great to know. Many of them dont run for me under normal conditions, so I believe many of them should not help performance by disabling (if you dont use those services).

Can be disabled**:

Hope that helps.

I am not given an option to turn off Voicemail. I use Google Voice for voicemail anyway, and hide the stock voicemail app with Nova.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Demiurge7:
Interesting - I was definitely able to - perhaps because it was never setup from the get-go? I use Google Voice as well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jpmcnown:
I actually hadn't set it up either. Then not having the option to turn-off, I set up the 30 "trial", still no option to turn-off. weird. Though, I DID set up Google Voice as my voicemail carrier before all this. I switched back to Verizon, and still nothing. Oh well, now I get to see how much of a pain it's going to be to cancel this $3/mo service.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SB50:
I wasn't able to disable it from the Application Manager, but I was able to by going to the app drawer and "Uninstall/Disable apps."

How exactly do we turn off Verizon Support and Protection....The option to turn it off is greyed out...How exactly is that done?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Demiurge7:
Not sure. I have noticed there were differences in what individual devices were allowed to turn off. Try stopping it first, clearing cache/data, as well as turning off other vzw apps that may possibly be tied to it. Some had success disabling from drawer, so you could try that.

I was definitely able to turn it off, as you can see from the above pic. Let me know if any of those options work.

[General Questions and Answers] kezs:
Hi all,

I've been an Android user for about 4 years, and in that period I've had 4 phones (2 Moto, 1 Samsung and 1 Sony).

I understand the concept of programmed obsolescence, but this is ridiculous. My current phone, the Sony Xperia S, was released in Feb' 2012. Android 4.2 was released only 10 months later, but the Xperia S didn't get it. It should have been supported for 18 months, but Android 4.3 came out 15 months after it was released and it didn't get it either. Between the time I got the phone and a version of Android was out that it didn't get there were no more than a few weeks.

It was the exact same story with my Moto Milestones (1&2) and my Galaxy.

So even though I'm a big Android advocate, I'm really sick of this negligence. It's not that I always want the latest OS version for OCD reasons - I'm not an update freak or anything - but in each of those cases there were clear bugs or features that were simply left behind. I've had an iPad for a couple of years now and it's still getting updates and running anything from the Store - whereas my laggy Galaxy Tab 10.1 is left lying around most of the time, with a whole bunch of newer app versions that are "not compatible with your device". I don't want to switch to Apple for my phone, but my patience with these OS updates is running thin. I've tried custom ROMs with every one of my phones, but you really end up getting tired of the inevitable bugs and constant updating and flashing.

I was decided to get a Nexus 5, but then I read that the Nexus S did not get Android 4.2, which came out just 20 months after it was released. That's too little, considering most people buy their phones at least a few months after its release. That means that the average Nexus S buyer was only running the latest Android version for about a year - and it's a Nexus phone we're talking about here.

I know Google Play Edition phone makers commit themselves to updating their OSs for 18 months after they've been released. But I guess different manufacturers have different track records. I've looked around a little bit but I didn't find a thread that compiles that sort of information. I think this is a big deal and the Android user community should value OEMs that are careful about future-proofing their devices (even if "future" in this case means just a couple of years). But that's hard to keep track of, with so many models and manufacturers out there.

So I thought I'd ask everyone here how long they've owned their devices until it stopped receiving Android updates. Looking up release dates and last Android version isn't that useful because release dates & actual availability are 2 different things.

If I get enough data out of this I'll build a nice looking set of bar and pie charts with some sexy-ass bell curves to let people read this information and favor OEMs that are more careful about this.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArslanTufail93:
Hi,

I recently acquired a new Nexus 7 (2012) and to unlock its full potential, I have decided to ROOT it. Now, this is the very first Android-based device that I have ever used and I'm not at all familiar with all these ROOTing techniques.

Would you guys be kind enough to link me to a NOOB-FRIENDLY tutorial that would allow me to ROOT my device with all necessary softwares, etc.?

Thanks!

EDIT: And would I be able to download applications from other regions as well? For example, Amazon Kindle & Amazon MP3 are not available in my region so I can't download them. If yes, then how do I do it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatazeuz:
Now, exactly why do you want to root it? Are you not satisfied with the device? If the answer is yes, you can use this automated toolkit to root your N7 for you (It's as noob friendly as it can get)

http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

And, yeah, you can put a region restricted app in your device, as long as you can find the .apk file on the internet. And you don't need root for that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, ArslanTufail93...

Not wishing to dampen your enthusiasm or anything... but maybe you should learn to walk before you can run:).

Perhaps you should take some time getting to know Android first. Familiarise yourself with it, before you go rooting.

Rooting gives you access to /system... and which is the metaphorical equivalent of taking the back off of that expensive clock/watch/audio system you've just bought... and poking around inside... and maybe making (what you think are) improvements.

Just make damn sure you know what it is your doing... 'cos it's all too easy to mess stuff up:(.

And if you're looking for an easy way of rooting... then perhaps you shouldn't be doing it all!

Here's how to root... (sorry, but you're gonna have to do a bit of research yourself - this is just a rough outline):).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

** Unlock the bootloader with fastboot oem unlock

** Fastboot flash a Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP) with fastboot flash recovery custom_recovery.img

** Download to the Nexus 7, Chainfire's

UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94

.

** Boot into the previously flashed Custom Recovery, and flash Chainfire.

** Reboot... you're rooted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take your time... read around here on XDA... pay attention to the 'stickies'.

And don't become reliant on toolkits. Familiarise yourself with Fastboot and ADB. Fastboot is the key to your Nexus 7.

Good luck.

Rgrds,

Ged.

which really controller do you recommand me ?

i looking now this http://buy.thegameklip.com/

and this http://www.mogaanywhere.com/controllers/moga-pro-controller/

i want 1 for easy use w/o root
[Galaxy S III Accessories] getochkn:
One is jsut a holder that you need a PS3 controller to use, the other is the clip built into their controller. Depends if you want to buy a PS3 controller ot use or already have one.

As for if they need root, I don't know, but they are kind of two different products.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Darkmind82:
So if you want to play emulators than the second one isn't something for you. If you already have a Ps3 then the choice should be very clear.

yep. plug and play
[Galaxy S III Accessories] judeReview01:
xbox 360 controller is good I am using it too
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shmogt:
These are cool I have never seen them before. I just plug my regular PS3 controller into it and set the phone up on a stand. It works with no extra programs which is awesome. Best is if you are rooted you can make the PS3 controller work with bluetooth and plug the S3 into a tv. Using a PS3 controller and seeing the image on the tv is pretty amazing and makes you feel like it's a real video game system.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] REV3NT3CH:
i actually use the red samurai controller from gamestop...the great thing about it is that my laptop has bluetooth capability so i can use it on that as well...ive had it for about a year now and still runs like its brand new
[Galaxy S III Accessories] abohsukampret:
I'd recommend the MOGA PRO series, really. It's quick and easy to set up & configure, and it supports most of the games.

The Galaxy SIII natively recognize PS3 controller via USB so it's still cool. Configuring bluetooth for the wireless one can be a pain, though (you'll need root access and a third party app)

As a side note, the MOGA CAN play emulators. The latest version of PSX emulators for Android already support this controller. As for the others (SNES, GBA, NDS etc) you can just manually map the buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tinyutilsdroid:
I'd recommend the Moga Pro too. Had it for quite some time and works like charm. Good to hold and play and nice battery backup.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gambingo:
I didn't know you could use a xbox controller. Looks like I will be trying mine.
