Can't stop them. Some of these apps can be deleted to be stopped, but others are inherent to the phone and you are stuck with them. They should not be running down your battery anyway.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had to have the Verizon guy kill them for me. There is a list of start-up apps that come on when the phone powers up or self-recover if you try to turn them off. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Turn off the features that you are not using at the time. Buy some Tech Tiles and program them for different environments. Stick one in your car to put it in driving mode with bluetooth on and one at home to shut them off. I have one on my nightstand that shuts eveything off except my alarm. A great S4 feature that you may not know about.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I rooted my phone and used a process freeze app to stop unwanted apps from running. This is not recommended unless you are comfortable modifying the phone. Rooting may void the warranty, and freezing the wrong apps may cause the phone to run poorly, or not at all. Again, be careful if you decide to go this route.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Root the phone and install one of the many debloating programs in the Play store. Manufacturers and Cell companies subsidize the cost of their devices by putting useless software on their phones...same problem we have with PCs
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The only true way to shut down the Verizon bloatware is to root your phone.
