What's the most bloatware-ridden phone you've ever owned? - General Questions and Answers

For me, it was my Incredible 2. A phone even more bloat-ridden than that one however, is my sister's Droid RAZR. My God, that thing has a ton of bloat.

I'd have to say either my old Droid 3 or the droid 2.

My mytouch q which I recently bricked.
Had 4 pages of apps. Rooted and deleted bloatware. Shrunk down to 1 and a half pages of apps.
So that's like 16+16+8=40 bloatware apps

myTouch 4G. Tmobile smeared its bloat down to the UI itself (mySense really?)

Anything I ever got off of carriers really. IMO its not a proper phone unless its in its raw, unlocked/intl form. Not to mention how much most carriers butcher the hardware on the poor localizations....

rogers Canada is bad for this 10+ apps on there phones

Any verizon phone
.215 radio - SimplexROM 1.2 - Daily Driver - XT912 - Wigdetsoid - Linux Installer - Otter Box

My Atrix 4G was pretty bad. Not only was it plagued by all the AT&T apps, but then there was MotoBlur which included Motorola branded versions of the same apps.

My Atrix 4G had a lot of bloat. I don't use the stock rom though anymore

Hmmm for me it was galaxy 5 of my friend.......a lot of junk from carrier.....28 non sence apps on a low spec device?? i think that is just redicolues...

My droid 3 had I believe 19 bloat apps, my rezound only has 14.

Which one? epic 4G or Droid X?

Ughhhh. Before I was 100% of getting the droid X now that the Epic 4g came out im a little hesistant. Is the snapdragon processor slowler than hummingbird? And do you think the keyboard is worth having a smaller screen?
Don't forget about the droid 2 either. Its not out yet, but it will be within the next few months.
The phone with a real keyboard always wins in my book. I wish they would stop with the manufacturer interfaces. Stock android is all you need.

I don't think tomorrow is a good day to get phones, since ATT has shown in the past too.many activations in one day make the system shut down and the iphone 4s is coming out, if I were you I would get it from amazon wireless is cheaper and no tax
Nexus Prime
It depends on your usage....if you travel a lot then I recommend you Not to get an android or a bada as they barely last 2 days.... you could go for a blackberry or an iPhone ..or like the others said you could wait foe the nexus prime .... goodluck!!

I'd go with the Droid 3 if she'd prefer a keyboard. It's pretty much the best qwerty slider on the market right now (in terms of specs) and by all accounts has one of the best keyboards of any phone.
And I hear you on the Droid 2 battery life. My Milestone 2 with the standard Blur'd 2.2 would drain the battery in about 6 hours while in standby. Thank god for custom roms... D:
Droid 3 is more likely...she really liked the blackberry she had besides the way Facebook and things looked ... Droid pro? Any opinions on that phone?

Well, the Droid Pro is basically the Droid 2 but with a keyboard front-and-center. That and a smaller, lower-res screen.

There's Xperia Pro too. Timescape UI have one great integration with Facebook. It's not the best phone in hardware, but's it nice

what android phone do u think has the most dev's

just asking because I'm needing an new back up phone.
I'd assume Nexus ones.
Galaxy s and Nexus s as far as i know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
S2 as well, but Nexus is the only true dev-open phone.
well not the t-mobile ssgs2
i have the Samsung galaxy 2 and there noo great roms i am using beast mod 4..2 i like beast mod but i am looking for a back up phone that is well dev'ed so i can have a stable more problem free phone i would like to get a droid 2 global or a my side kick 4g
p.s witch phone is better side kick or droid 2 global
if you really like to taste a lot of roms and have the latest builds i think ill choose somethink like nexus s or galaxy nexus, they are google phones, so they will get the latest updates.
Hmmm the best is the HTC HD2. It get everything fast

I don't know that quantity is better then quality. ROMS for thunderbolt seem as solid as the phone itself.
HTC Thunderbolt running MIUI
EVO has a lot of roms and good quality ones

Agreed with nightcrawler, solid roms there as well.

Love my phone!!

My last two phones were a droid x,x2 both rooted&modded and they still didn't run smooth enuff like my s3 which is still stock unrooted, the droid x was my first touch screen phone thought that 4.3 inch screen was big enuff but now my s3 screen hits that's sweet spot....any how was reading which I do tons of came across this thought I'd share it was funny to me.
ANDROID RULES!!!!

i agree
I too came from a DX and the SGS3 is way better.... But that is to be expected sine the DX is over 2 years old. It is gonna take some time to get used to the difference in a Moto and Sammy device. But at least we have a unlocked bootloader

Just wondering are you guys getting as good of data signal as you did on your Droid Xs.
I get a good signal for the most part, but we all know moto makes better radios then Sammy

Also came from the Droid X. Data signal on my S3 seems fine; I'm primarily in a 4g area. Could have been something specific to my phone, however, Spotify streaming was a joke on my Droid X via 3g. With the S3, I can actually listen to non downloaded tracks consistently without any pauses from the buffering.
I came from a Droid X then an LG Revolution and this phone is definitely MUCH faster than either and the battery life is excellent

for me, best and worst is the same - i9100 galaxy s2
I know i may offend some fans.
Motorola and Sony Tipo
Best - Motorola Atrix - Stock MotoBlur UI was really bad, drained battery and rebooted randomly. Changed to CM7.2 and it gives me almost 2 days battery and absolutely stable.
Worst - Sony Tipo, very bad touch response and random freezes.
New here as well, only had 2 android phones so
Best: Samsung Vibrant
Worst: Motorola Backflip
Only had 2 android phones. Was a big nokia fan but wanted t try android for a change.
Worst: Galaxy Gio. But it was actually a great phone. It finaly got to slow so I upgraded to:
Best: Galaxy SII, just awesome!
Samsung Galaxy SII - JellyBam 3.1.0 - Dorimanx 7.29
Worst: HTC Amaze 4G with stock ROM
Best: HTC Amaze 4G with CM10 nightlies
you can all power off your post, the best android for very long time is the asus padfone 2, the s3 is so slowy than padfone 2, the iphone 5 pffff.....what else!!!!!where is the really evolution!!!!(yes evolution not revolution!) a battery who don't go 1/2 day?!? all the person who have this phone at my work come to the work with a power pack or the charger so where is the mobility?????and the price.....the one very positive things is the quality of fabrication, it's a reference for all the firme,
for the majority of phones the problems are the during battery or the fquality of fabrication, or the speed in the the phone and multitasking,
for me the really podium of the phone is :
1: asus padfone 2 for the concept/design/fabrication, the battery(2 days!!!!!), the speed/multitasking, and all the harware!!!!!!!
2 : galaxy note 2 for the battery, in 2012 nearly 2013 is so important and it's right thing that we can have a battery duration more one day at this price, the speed/multitasking, but and a big BUT hte note 2 isn't really for me a phone
3: nokia lumia 920, good concept, rootable so xe can install android in the futur, the battery, the looks and the fabrication, big negative thing...windows8 it's my opinion
Best: Xperia T
Worst : Xperia X10
