AT&T GS3 Apps OK to Disable

[Hogan773]

Apologies if I missed a "list" somewhere.

ICS is new to me (I'm coming from a Galaxy S Captivate) so I love this ability to Disable apps without rooting.

I disabled:

AT&T Messenger
AT&T Navigator
ChatO
YPMobile


WHAT ABOUT THESE OTHERS...ANY PROBLEMS HITTING THESE TOO?

1) AT&T Software Update (I guess I won't be able to get OTA updates...if they still DO OTA updates even)

2) Allshare Play

3) Samsung Push Service

4) Google Books, Google Music

I know that Books and Music aren't running normally so I guess I don't care as much about disabling those. But 1, 2 and 3 are "running" right now.....

Youre correct about 1.

Allshare can go if you dont use it.

I kept the push service because I wasnt sure and 4 again, can go

How do you go about disabling the AT&T apps? I don't see the option in the app settings, and there is no "uninstall" option.

 

[Hogan773]

Go into Applications Manager (under settings).

If there have been updates, you'll need to "Uninstall Updates" first then that box will change to "Disable"

 

[psybab]

Ahhh, yup, it was the "uninstall updates" part that tricked me.

What does the Samsung push service do?
