It wouldn't matter if you had control over it. but 3Gb of those are for useless S-apps (S-suggest, S-store, whatever) that you will NEVER open. in fact, those are the apps that if you do open, you curse the mistake and close.
samsung is the Acer of mobiles. Other brands used to do that to branded phones and you would find att or verizon bloatware. now you are not free even if you buy unlocked.
- mcintyre1994 14y agoWoah, what? 3GB on apps that aren't games? That is incredibly poor.
- UnoriginalGuy 14y agoThey're all badly written bloatware like you'd expect. Plus even if you remove them you still get the pleasure of storing a larger than necessary backup/recovery image with them inside just waiting to re-infect your phone if you ever factory reset it. I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 1. While I think the hardware is top rate and I am happy with Android, I think Samsung's bloatware ruins the entire package. I prefer the experience on my Nexus 7 with "virgin" Android and my next phone will be a Nexus phone too for that reason.
- r00fus 14y agoWhy not just root and CM the G Note? Anything samsung-specific that stock android won't work with?
- gcb0 14y agobecause i never bought one. giving them my money would just signal i want that crap. Also, it's not stable so far. so you'd have dodgy camera, reception, pen... i don't think CM supports the pen yet, but i may be wrong.
