I am fairly new to smartphones and this is my first post here...be kind.
This might be a broad question with many answers but I need to start somewhere.
I just bought a Samsung S4 for my wife.
It is "pre-owned" from Swappa. When I got it the battery was completely discharged.
Charged it overnight and when I powered it on I saw that several screens had "mottos" on them such as "Life Companion", etc., and there were a few apps (which may or may not be third party) that I know my wife will never use--such as "chat."
I'm a minimalist and I don't want to start out with other people's preferences and idiosyncrasies...
How do I get rid of these unwanted apps, personalizations and screens...is there a way to reset the phone back to a "clean" default, factory interface? (didn't get a user manual with this phone although I have downloaded one in pdf format)
