Forgive my ignorance of your Android lexicon and please treat me in this thread as a simpleton.
I purchased a Galaxy Indulge, and being quite dissatisfied with the standard of included software, I proceeded to, as I understood it, root the phone; according to a thread however, what I did was not a true root and was referred to as a level 1 or 2 or what have you.. I was able to delete some bloatware but I am unable to delete several other unnecessary programs such as Accuweater.
As it sits now, I am able to terminate the processes but within minutes they restart.
I have long lost the original thread, so I will attempt to explain, to the best of my ability, the process that I followed so you can be more able to aid in my quest obtain a product as it should have left the factory...
1)Following directions from the thread, I connected usb to pc and ran supplied program which prompted to install "Superuser"; it then prompted to remove given bloatware programs.
2) I then went into settings>running services, and disabled all but swype; then to manage applications>running and cleared and stopped a few.
I assumed this would be all that was required, however under manage applications>all there are several apps wasting space (accnt sync, accuweather, allshare, live wallpaper, etc, etc)
When I run the Task Manager, no matter how many times I clear the memory, applications will start without my access or authorization; without opening any programs, menus, making calls or texts; they runs regardless.
All I really needed a phone for was making calls, multimedia messaging, rarely internet browsing, and on occasion a game of chess. I dont need sync, I dont need bluetooth; I dont need email.
Without any use, the battery is dead within 6 hours from fully charged. This is not acceptable by any standard, if I had known, I would not have purchased.
Please help me turn this paperweight into a decent consumer electronic
