Deleting Tmobile myaccount will cause your phone to go into infinite force closes making your phone unusable. If this happens, remove your SD card and SIM card, than reboot. After rebooting you will see your bloatware has returned and your phone will be back to normal. Using titanium backup, however, and "freezing" the app causes no problems and at least stops the background services from running. Deleting Telenav GPS navigator will NOT effect your phone's gps as one thread in general states, and freezing the "backup" system app which runs the tmobile contacts syncing account in titanium backup is good to do a well. Both of these apps leave 2 constant background services running.

Kind of a live and learn thing?
MyAccount is actually a nice app to have. Provides quick access to your account information as opposed to accessing via the web. not sure why you would want to remove it anyhow it's not really bloatware as much as it is a functional app design for tmobile customers.
Tmobile TV is another story.
Your right to a degree
its all depending on the person....I mean I personally never worry about my minute usage so i dont need to constantly check, so for me its useless, and if i really wanted to access my account id just go on my comp.... anyways like i said its all opinion
I deleted my account and just held the power button to reboot. No issues with it coming back and no more my account.

Of course, same as if you deleted Wifi Calling. That's why I hold down power until the phone reboots and then it doesn't force close anymore.
Why delete those? Especially MyAccount, provides useful information for sure!
I deleted My Account 1.0 and now have FC Issues, HELP!
I was trying to get rid of "My Account", AKA T-Mobile My Acount, to keep it from constantantly running in the background, but actually deleted "My Account 1.0", nad not the "My Account 4.?" with Titanium Pro... I tried to freeze them both but the program kept appearing in my task list, so I deleted the My Account 1.0 entry.
Soon as I did, I got a buzz... buzz buzz buzz... the buzzes of death... I now get force closes when ending a phone call, when trying to read SMS, and when trying to view my call log.
This is killing me, and I have no idea how to fix it...
Any experts out there, please help!

Never mind, I had frozen Logsprovider...
I've Been able to do the following with no ill effects so far :
Uninstalled via TitaniumBackup
=======================
AppToHome
GoGo
Y! Finance Clock
ThinkFree Office
TeleNav GPS Navigator
T-Mobil TV
Slacker
Media Hub
Kindle
Inception
DriveSmart
DriveSmart System
doubleTwist
DeskHome
CarHome
Buddies now
All Share
Air Sync
Frozen via TitaniumBackup
============================
Audio PostCard
Backup
Days
Memo
MiniDiary
Video Chat
WiFi Calling -- dosn't really work tbh
Write and go
--
Apparently freezing the "Wifi Calling" app dosn't actually work for me, even after rebooting.
Orionsmart, if you remove DriveSmart, does it remove the link for it inside the settings menu?
EDIT: I just went ahead and removed it, was tired of it running constantly without even using it, and the menu item remains. Small price to pay I suppose.

Is this confirmed?
I think i read in more then one thread that it will affect your GPS.
I only kept it because of this, so if i could be sure, i would remove it right away.

If I backup TeleNAV GPS with Titanium Backup, and then delete it, how can I restore it? I want to have as many MB free in Storage since the reason why I bought the phone was to access the Market and install lots of useful apps
Titanium backup created two files: com.telenav.app.android.telenav-20110314-174328.properties
com.telenav.app.android.telenav-20110314-174328.tar.gz
The tar.gz file has this inside:
\data\com.telenav.app.android.telenav\
inside I see 4 folders:
.\databases
.\files
.\lib
.\shared_prefs
What should I do now if I want to restore the Bloatware?
The custom Odin tar file that krylon posted works great includes root, and already has bloat removed. After I got it flashed on my phone there is a huge difference much smoother and faster than original stock.

Why would you want to do that ?
on the other hand, i think there is a stock software file floating around the forums somewhere..
If you want to replace something and you are rooted. Buy root explorer from the market and get your hands on the. Apk (for this phone) and really install the apps you want. Otherwise if you root first then make a back up of apps with titanium backup from the market, you can then also select the ones you want and either delete or freeze the ones you don't want to keep.

I've installed a craked version of Beautiful Widgets (shame on me) so I could try it for some time. Now I want to buy the application and I cant! Somehow the android market thinks i've purchased the app.
Does any one know a way to fix that?
Tks
Have you tried uninstalling the cracked version first? That should in theory let you buy it. If you already did that then I have no idea lol.

I've flashed the new GB, so the app is not at my phone anymore /=
Try clearing data for the market. Go to settings > applications > manage applications, then select the "all" tab. Scroll down until you find the market app and select it. Select the "clear data" button. If that doesn't clear the cache - it should - clear that as well. Then open the market and search for Beautiful Widgets. Hopefully you'll be able to purchase it before it repopulates your list of apps.
I've noticed this with apps that I got for free from Amazon. If you cannot get that to work, wait until there's an update to BW. Once you see the "update" button and select it, you'll be given an option to buy it. I thought that somehow the Market integrated with Amazon (yeah right), but unfortunately not.
I think pirating apps is sleazy, especially considering that they're usually only $1-$3 and a one-time purchase. But thank you for actually purchasing the app after pirating it.

I´ve already tryed to clear the market data and no succes =/ Guess I will have to wait for the next update from Level Up.
I agree with you plainjane, the apps price are VERY reasonable, but I like to try the apps for some time before buying them and the new market refound system makes impossible to try the app for some time.
Any other suggestions?
Have you tried purchasing it from a computer? Go to the market website and try there. If you're able to purchase it there, the download should automatically start on your device if you're connected to the Internet.
Alternatively, you can reinstall the app and uninstall it from the market. You should then have the option to purchase it.
If you can't get anything to work, you can always contact Market support.

If you think you still have remains on your phone from the cracked version you can try the app in my signature "sd maid" to remove those remains.

Sadlly no. The web market (market.google) has a database for the purchased apps. So if you install a cracked version of an App google put a purchased flag on the database. But i think that the old market does not use this database that is why i was abble to buy the app using the old market.
When i say the old market i mean that one that came with the 2.2, with a green half circle on top.

OK the way to do it that has worked for me when I use cracked apps to test is that, it will look like it thinks you have purchased but when you hit update or install, it will ask you to pay.

i have tried the following:
* update from cracked app
* uninstalled cracked app and then install from market
* uninstalled cracked app, installed demo version from market and then tried to upgrade to full version
all of these attempts failed!
it just says in the market that the app is purchased and when i try to install it (or update it), it says something like "download declined because app is not purchased"!
i guess a full wipe would be a solution, but i´d rather not do that, right now!
Full wipe won't help...at least it didn't in my case. I have done a few full wipes and even switched between android versions and still get to "download and install" before it tells me app is not purchased but there is no purchase option in market, only install...

you uninstalled it? one can't 'uninstall' the MO Market.
on the app screen, I long press the icon, and it let me uninstall that, also the telenav sh1t. I think they are still there, but not in the app screen anymore. What do you use that for? what's in the Sprint Zone? I didn't open it at all. Now I started to be curious
The Sprint apps.....flashlight app (meh), Sprint TV (hit or miss), some others (some which show up but don't work on the Arrive ?!?!?!)......I think there was one or two worth getting, but I haven't looked at the list in a while, so I don't remember.

Sprint Zone is a sub-Market in Marketplace, not an application. Sprint Zone can't be uninstalled.
For the first time in 6 years of Android phones, I just had an ad pop up in my notifications. It was for the Walgreens drug store app. (An app I do not have installed.)
From googling, it seems it's pushed from an app I have installed, but it should be easy to figure out as I've only installed 2 new apps on this phone that I didn't have on my last phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? What apps have you found that do this?
(This is not cool at all.)

Do as guyd says. If it happens again with another app and the notification is still there, hold it until it changes, then press the "i" button that appears. From there you can do the same.
Note that you cannot block notifications from most system apps

Regardless, if you hold down on the notification it should show you the source app (not the app that is in the ad, but the app that's pushing the ad) and you'll be able to take action by tapping on the "i" button.

The ads come from other apps. Chrome has never placed ads in the notifications. This is done by something built into the apps. I forget what it's called of the bat. Airpush I think. Some apps do this to make money when they are free apps. There is an app that will detect any app that does this. Then just uninstall it. The above device will cancel notifications completely from the app causing it.
Had the exact same experience on both my S6 and my wife's. Something fishy, no indication what app caused it.
What carrier are you on? I am on Sprint, and their bloatware apps "Sprint Zone" and "Sprint Fun & Games" like to advertise apps in the notification bar every now and then. I hate it, because there is no way to disable the apps unless I root.

Sprint as well. That's unfortunate as this will be my first non-rooted phone due to Samsung Pay. I was hoping android/Sumsung had come far enough that I didn't need to root/rom, but it looks like I'm in for a frustrating experience.

I think maybe so. I took a screenshot of one today. (I don't know how many have some through as I often just swipe off notifications without looking at them. This was at least the second one today, as right after I swiped one of them away, I decided to make a conscious effort to screenshot the next.) I forgot to press/hold until the "i" shows up to see app info. I'll have to remember that for next time.
Sprint - Featured Apps <-- That's the culprit. You'll want to disable notifications on that application in the settings menu, under all apps, or uninstall it, which is what I did.

Its from Sprint Featured Apps. Block its notifications. It can also be uninstalled from Applications>all>uninstall.
