What can I do to remove the apps it came with? I tried to put them into a folder But it still shows themin & out of the folder....  |
I'm pretty sure that Samsung and Verizon (My carrier) stopped updating the S5 at version 5. that was one of the reasons I quit the S5 for the Moto Z series, I wanted to get the latest OS (V7.1).
There are forums on the samsung site for phones that should help. AT&T might still might have forums for the S5, it was a very popular phone.
My phone came with a LOT of junkware from Verizon that was burned into ROM, but as I recall, the Samsung preloaded stuff was uninstallable. I assume the only way to get rid of the stuff is to root the phone. I assume the issue is the same with AT&T, those two pretty much walk in lock step.
Verizon allowed me to disable those apps but not get rid of them.
It's still a pretty good phone, even with the older OS; for everyday consumer use, I think it would be fine, but I suspect
