Got a few questions...

**1fast72** · 03-30-2011, 08:55 PM

Just got the Mesmerize about a month ago. Been a long time BB user and did alot with that OS. This is my first Android and think I'm hooked.

First, I want to get rid of the USCC apps that are a waste of space. Can this only be done with a root? Still hesitant about it but sure it will happen at some point.

When I did the 2.2 update I did not have any problems with the update itself but I also did not turn off the antivirus on the PC and have noticed a few bugs on the phone. Would this have an effect?? I.E. I work in a building with very limited cell service (doesn't matter the carrier) I have to reboot the phone after being there for a while to receive email again. Just doesn't want to connect. After that works good. No problems when not working.

And third, is there a good weather app that is similar to BerryWeather? Loved that app and want something like it.

Thanks in advance for any response.

This would need to root to take off the bloatware.

I don't think the PC would affect this. Was it an official build? Sometimes the signal strength can be different with a new build. You can try turning airplane mode on/off. It's quicker than rebooting and should get your data back up.

I use Beautiful Widgets for weather and works well for me. There are quite a few free and paid weather apps in the market you can try. Hit the members favorites link in my signature and there should be a thread that will tell you what everyone else is using.

Thanks. Didn't think about airplane mode. On my BB I would just turn off the radio and turn back on to fix. I will check out the rooting and the link.

No prob, pretty much the same thing as turning the radio off/on. Good luck!
