does anyone know how to uninstall some the app that came with the phone? and also is there an app i can use to restart my phone because i dont wana have to take the battery out?
You can't delete any of the T-Mo stock apps and I doubt you wanna get rid of the Google ones. As for the battery thing, you can hold the top button to display the powerdown/silent mode/Airplane mode/vibrate mode Menu.
Yea I wana delete the tmo ones to free up some memory.....and yea I kno about the button at the top of the phone, I was looking for an app so that all I have to do is press that and it will restart my phone

till we get root, no deletion of bloatware will occur... bs i know, but what can you do?
until we get root there is also no app to reboot your phone, the command requires root and so there is nothing we can do about it at this time, follow the rooting the mt3gs thread and you will see that we are close

I can now install nothing when I go into the market. This problem has only just happened? Usually, you can install apps very quickly. I get a message that your app is being downloaded, but when I go to downloads, apps are just stating that 'started to download'! One app - PayPal - has been loading for 4hrs+ and it still hasn't loaded. This is happening now on anything I try and download, paid or free! Any ideas? Help.....
Kill market with task killer and try downloading the app again... if that doesn't work, restart your phone and it will work. I ran into this issue a lot of times
Just don't mess with the start up auditor. That's what I've learnt. I factory reset after I got the problem

can't download anyrthing from market, not even task killer. How do you restart the phone? I have switched it on and off and left the battery out for a few minutes.
Hi I had this problem a while ago and found a solution on the net somewhere.
It was this.... Go into settings. Application. Select google mail storage. Then delete data. Let the phone re sync.
Worked for me.

My brother in law recently switched over to SPRINT and gave me his pretty new DX. I can't activate the phone until next week (because he made the mistake of porting the phone number BEFORE he gave me the phone) so according to VZW i have to wait until that process is completed and the billing cycle is finished before I can use the phone. (I don't think he plans on paying them )
My question is...can I root the DX before I actually get it linked to my VZW phone number? (like remove google apps and just use the phones capabilities like camera etc. without having to call and activate it) I'm coming from HTC Droid eris so I don't know much about rooting the DX yet.
Can someone help me please.
I believe you can, I think theirs a way to bypass the activation screen. You might be able to find it on the forums or if not just Google it I'm sure you can find it.

Yes you can root it without being on a network. all you need to do is go back out of this thread and read the first sticky and go to the wiki. I would post link but since this is my first actual post i cant
And after your phone reboots you can get passed the little android man by touching each corner in a circular motion.
I hope for your sake that your brother in law pays Verizon. If he doesn't in they most likely blacklist the phones esn.

But keep in mind if the phone doesn't have OTA 2.2 you might want to keep all apps because the update might fail because missing files.

You don't even need to do the 4 corner trick.
Touch the android, hit next until you have the options of "create google login, sign in, or skip" and just choose skip. That easy.
That's assuming he's at the "touch to begin screen" which he probably isn't being that he's the second owner.
...but yeah, check the sticky and root away.
Thanks for the information guys. Yeah I really hope that they allow him to give me his phone. I kept verifying with the rep that it would be okay to transfer the phone, he said it should be okay since it's HIS property. But i never know with those guys...
I don't plan on removing any apps at all I just want get the root access and ready so when I do hook it up, it'll be ready to go.
I'm excited to see what you guys have in store for this phone...especially coming from the Eris.
Just connect with wifi and use as normal. That easy. You can even setup a google account and use market and have all the sweet and chewies of using the X less the ability of calls and texts.
As stated above, if he doesn't pay the bill VzDubya will (normally) put the phone on the do not activate list. Again though this wont effect use while connected to wifi.
Will I have to set the phone to USB debugging mode if I try and root?
If so, I dont think I'll be able to root since I can't even get passed the "Activation Screen"
Also, how can I check to see what android version he is on (2.1 or 2.2) How do I look at the bootloader info...can I do that w/o Root? Is that dangerous? I don't want to brick the phone...
sorry for all the questions guys appreciate your patience.
Anyone?
Press menu then setting scroll to the bottom of the list to about phone click it and your info will be there. Just a thought if you don't know how to find something that simple are you sure you want to be playing with root.

Actually if you read the first post. The phone is not activated yet, so I don't have the option to "menu>settings".
And Yes, I rooted my Eris. Thanks.
I can disable amazon.mp3 with adb shell but when i look at the menu it always shows the silly icon of amazon.mp3.
I cant start the app since I removed it but the icon is still there. I already enabled the app and then disabled it again... but its still here..
Can anyone help me to get rid of amazon.mp3
I've attached a pic so you can see that I have su etc

Same problem here. Every app I disabled disappeared from launcher except for Amazon MP3, and it's driving me nuts
You could "freeze" the app with titanium backup, which removes the shortcut icon and makes sure the app cant start. Big advantage is that you can still install OTA's. It comes with a price tho..

Freeze is the same thing as pm disable. And it doesn't work with Amazon MP3. It stays in the launcher and crashes when trying to launch it.

AAAHH Im in the same boat too, there must be a way..
If you have permanent root, and Titanium Bakcup, you should be able to permanently removed the app. Just go the backup/restore tab at the top, go the app you want to remove (Amazon mp3) and hold it for a while...there should be an option for forced removed the app. The phone will then reboot itself, and once rebooted you will find it is completely gone. The only down side is you cant update OTA anymore. But really who cares? very soon we will see custom ROMs popping up everywhere. I am pretty sure they will contain the latest updates.
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I found this on another forum:
com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity
Hope this works

Tried it already, doesn't work
I have tried to disable it but the button is greyed out for me...
Is there anyway to disable it without rooting?
Can you please post a screenshot of what it looks like when you are at the uninstall screen?

It's called Evernote not Nevernote. It's never going away lol! But seriously just don't use it? You can use your Samsung account and I'm sure the app is really small storagewise.
Root the phone and uninstall with titanium backup
At the screen, there's only two buttons
Force Stop and Disable (but greyed out)
hmm. guess I need to figure out how to root my phone :/

Like the others said it must be a system app. You will have to root to uninstall it, if you want to.

Hi guys.
I don't know if anyone else has had this issue with downloading apk files from unknown sources.
OK so whenever I download any apk from sources other than the playstore. I know I should check the 'download from unknown sources' in the security section in the settings menu.
However when I press onto the apk and the installation manager asks to either 'install' or 'cancel' I try to press install but it doesn't work... Like no reaction on the screen... It's as if the screen is locked. But when I press the cancel button it works N hence apk isn't installed....
Does anyone have any solutions to this please let me know.
Thanks
I have attached a screenshot of which button doesn't work.
Your help would be much appreciated
Get rid of that task killer for starters! You dont need it, you're just killing apps that are gonna start up again so you're going round in circles. Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

Thanks mate it does make sense, I shall be deleting that.
And regarding the problem, after trying just about everything I wondered if my lock screen widget (echo) could have anything to do with it. So I deleted it, and presto! Install button is working!
I guess it was the widget app somehow messing with the touchscreen function on the phone.
For anyone having problems similar to what I had get rid of any lock screen widgets, screen dimmers etc.
