[Galaxy Note 3 General] Mustajab Is'haq:
The LG G3 AndroidCentral has for review is the Korean version and it is an early prototype.

Recently a law was passed in Korea which makes all bloatware pre-installed on a phone un-installable. This law is obeyed by all phone companies in Korea.

Since other countries have not taken such action against unwanted apps on phones, it is highly unlikely that Samsung or any other company will make bolatware removable in a future update.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
They knocked back Kitkat for the S3 due to the bloatware in the rom needing too much RAM....I don't think they are gonna worry about people wanting to remove the bloatware, what they give you stays... Even if it means they won't update a Star phone...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DrawnToLife:
I was under the impression that it had either happened or was in the process of happening.

http://www.zdnet.com/south-korea-rules-pre-installed-phone-bloatware-must-be-deletable-7000025533/

http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/24/south-korea-delete-preinstalled-android-apps/

Maybe it hasn't happened yet, but I do recall that it's been rolling out to some extent. I'll try to find a better source later.

Edit: Okay, so apparently the Korean S5 can remove some bloat.. but by the next iterations it should be happening :L

Well, I think if most of their customers leave feedback on their FB page about the ability to remove bloatware, then they will get the message.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] antique_sonic:
:)

Feedback is just a feedback. They have company policy to follow. Thumb up if they can change any of their company/product policy, but so far I know seldom retailer will follow customer request.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Im sure the EU recently passed a bill that forces mobile manufactures to give end users the option to remove bloat ware? which is probably why LG has lead the way first.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] @rbiter:
I got an idea. How about give us stock android, and the bloat be uninstallable? Some of the bloat built in breaks things bit as apps would help ram and interface be smoother.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] maxilick:
Meh! Root your device and be rid of bloat. Makes no difference to me either way.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] chkenwing:
But the best option is to allow for the software to be uninstallable.

For those who want a phone and don't delve as deep into tech as the majority of users on these forums, all the in-built software is more than enough for them. For those who want more customisations, then we get the choice of uninstalling the programs.

Best of both worlds really, plus it's not forcing us to use their crap. Heck, we're still using their phones at least!

If the LG G3 released here in HK is 32GB/3GB then I'm gonna swap my Note 3 straight away.

I dont understand the disskussion about bloatware.. If you dont like it, buy another Phone or better use a 3310 Nokia :)) nobody force you to buy a overbloated Phone and at least you can root and debloat it.. Even if your Phone is unrooted you can just deactivate any application
[Galaxy Note 3 General] DON AMIGO:
if this news are TRUE - then WOW WOW WOW. but based on what i've read from your posts guys - it is NOW for the KOREAN brand ' correct me if i'm wrong ' - so my Q although it is kinda stupid - will it be applied on international version of G3 ?. if the answer is NO then my next Q is will the KOREAN version work in my country ?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Imppy:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] andrewnelson23:
Probably battery or ram reasons. The screen will require greater resources and is arguably beyond the observable difference anyway.

You can uninstall all the apps branded lg and reinstall them from the update centre.

This includes quickmemo+, calculator, quick remote, downloads.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egonwilzer:
Hello,

I am currently working on a project on a Geniatech ATV1220 Device running Android 4.2.2. I need some applications on this device with specific settings like Debian Kit with openssh, openvpn, nodejs and also a firefox browser with fullscreen addon as well as a terminal emulator with specific command line.

I have it all set up to work perfectly according to my needs on one box but now I want to achieve the exact same thing on other boxes (also Geniatech ATV1220s), without having to do the process of manually setting up each box individually, since I might have to do it to a lot of boxes.

What would be the best way to backup the whole filesystem including debian kit, all applications, all settings of those applications and all the stored data and then restore it on another device to basically make them 2 identical boxes?

I tried adb backup with the following command:

adb backup –all -apk -shared –f backup.ab

But that didn't seem to do the trick, as when I restored the backup on another device, debian kit for example wasn't running at all. I also have a way to sign images for that device, which I used to remove unnecessary apps and services, if that helps in any way.

Has anyone had to do something similar and knows the best way to do it?

Kind regards

[HTC One X+] PingByter:
So, after recently getting myself a new screen and a back-housing, I took my phone apart, and accidentally snapped the ribbon cable that connects the power button, (should've been more careful). Anyways, now i'm stuck with a phone that works perfectly but doesn't turn on, I ordered myself a new power button but it'll take atleast a week to arrive, so. Are there any workarounds for this? I've tried adb, but it comes back with a "device not found" error.

[GiONEE Elife E7] Flyagaric:
From what's seen on the screenshots it's 4.2.2 - Jelly Bean.

BTW. according to opinions on many forums Jelly Bean goes easie on the battery, so maybe it's not a bad idea to stay with it.

Now it makes more sense to wait for Lollipop, which should be here by the end of June.

EDIT: I have to correct myself. I flashed my phone with this KitKat:

http://xdaforums.com/elife-e7/general/gionee-elife-e7-32gb-version-kk-4-4-2-t3042835 - and it works muuuch better than JB. Also, didn't notice any decrease in battery life, so go for it!

No know exploits right now for root, unlock, or s-off. Once we get a temp root you can try firewater that was meant for android 4.4.2, but they're no guarantee that it will work.

Once made and used can it be re used over and over in different devices with different files for those specific phones or do you have to remake the card each time its used for a different phone?

My other question is does formatting it mean you have to re make the gold card or does the hex edit remain?

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigladUK:
Strange problem that started a few days ago ( been using the Z2 for over a month now ), I noticed after a long drive the battery was at 17% even though it had been plugged into the Magnetic Charger I have all the time. The lightening icon was present but no charging was happening.

I thought no more of it until last night when I left ( as always) my phone on in the Sony Dock overnight and realised in the middle of the night it had run out of charge and turned itself off. So the magnetic charging points don't work....odd

So I've resorted to regular usb charging but this only works when the phone is off and not when on

I assume the phone is faulty but wanted to consult you guys incase I'm missing something

The phone is stock ( was O2 branded but flashed a while ago with generic UK firmware )

I've tried a factory reset in the OS menus but has mode no difference

Thanks in advance

Si
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stu_tls:
have you tried a different charger?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigladUK:
Yeah it looks like me USB charging problem was the cable ( I haven't really used cables since getting the magnetic charging adapters ) but the Magnetic Charging port is defiantly not working, it's registering that it's connected and thinks it's charging but gets a message after a short while saying the charging is too slow and it's discharging faster than it's charging so I assume it's a hardware problem.

I've raised a case in Sonys website and will be sending it back to them for a fix, perhaps they might replace it with a bootloader unlocked version LOL

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twofive:
Hey there XDA, I have a strange problem. Maybe you can help me out.

I just got my Moto G today and after unlocking the bootloader, the first thing I did was flash TWRP (fastboot flash recovery TWRP-2.7.0.0-falcon.img).

I did this with the normal fastboot from the Android SDK, not the Motorola version.

Now everytime I start the device, it always boots right into recovery. Always. Doesn't matter if there's TWRP, CWM or Stock installed.

I also flashed the device to GPE afterwards (using the Motorola fastboot) which should've erased everything, but it still does it.

The only way I can get into the actual system is by flashing the normal boot.img as recovery (fastboot flash recovery boot.img).

Can someone please shed some light on this for me? I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance.

hmmm....something similar happened to me about 2 days ago when I DL the ota, then tried to install it, but it failed. the phone rebooted into the system and a minute later it roobooted itsself back into recovery and tried to install the update again. Of course, the ota's are DL to the /cache folder by default, but once install is attempted, it erases it from that folder, but phone kept rebooting and trying to install, it failed then rebooted again into recovery. It did this like 5x until I was able to stop this by restoring a prev backup. Not sure if this is your situation, but in posting this experience it might help someone

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Also, check in your recovery if there is something called 'DISABLE RECOVERY FLASH' and make sure it is checked before rebooting the first time after installing recovery. I maybe mistaking, but I thought it was a bug only found on some earlier CWM builds, not found on TWRP...but recovery flash would make the phone do what you are describing
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprockkets:
You shouldn't have that issue, but you might have to try the latest 2.6.x branch of TWRP. I've seen both but never know which one is really better.
