Bloatware

[Atomic]

I recently bought my Note 7 from the Samsung Store and accidentally turned on my phone with the SIM card in it; the result is that I now have carrier bloatware. I can only disable them and I even factory reset my phone without thr SIM card in it, but it still has the bloatware. Any of you come across the same thing or have any suggestions as to how to get rid of these apps?

I believe that happened because you did not buy the phone unlocked but I may be wrong. The best thing you can do is disable it if you think you are a Advanced user you can root your phone and downloading a 3-party app like titanium back-up to remove the bloatware if you do decide to root your phone proceed at your own risk. I hope this helps you

thanks for your response. But all phones bought from samsung are unlocked which is the confusing thing

any phone bought directly from samsung is unlock. the problem is. when you put in any carrier sim in your lock or unlock phone it automatically download that carrier bloatware.

wow that sucks. so people are wrong when they say that buying unlocked phones are free of carrier bloatware

I also just realized that my Nexus didn't have all the bloatware

when you buy it from the samsung store, they give you a code to unlock your phone so you can unlock it anytime.

I downloaded an App called Disabler Pro on my Samsung S6. It is very easy to use. It will get rid of all your Bloatware. You can can always and easily reinable anything you disable if you want. I love this App!
