    Has "reliable" ever been a concept of Android Devices?

    DYI guys generally have more knowledge and know how to keep things in place, but that doesn't apply to the general public, although there is good hardware out there only that there is a conflict of interests with the android phone manufacturers since the number of sales depend on the buyers...

    Remove Apps?

    Even on Android you'd need to root the phone, then remount /system partition in read/write permissions from ADB (usb debugging on) adb shell su mount -o rw,remount /system only then you can really remove system apps. The above is useful as well if you want to replace system apps with your...

    To many pop up..making me nuts..just want to cry so many

    Also, at home when you'r connected to your wifi (most probably) , change the DNS to these Add blocking DNS servers (AdGuard DNS) 176.103.130.130 176.103.130.131 (AdGuard Family plus adult content blocked) 176.103.130.132 176.103.130.134 It's very effective and you will not have to install...

    Change default Mapping App

    Try reinstalling CoPilot and then on the app's settings try to give the right permissions, maybe it will work while google maps is disabled.

    Has "reliable" ever been a concept of Android Devices?

    I love diving, it's crazy how I forgot about that, and not "fake" waterproof like most of the phones now, but a real replacement for Gopro. It's a waste of money and resources to buy a device for each task, while every one of them is more than capable of doing them all.

    Remove Apps?

    I doubt Samsung has made a completely new from scratch ROM just for a watch... So my ignorant guess would be that it's based on Android. Can't you disable the application completely? If that's not even possible, I'm starting to think that we don't really own these devices , they are just being...
