How to uninstall / disable dialing app?

[jwt873]

Now and then, I manage to touch the screen on my Gear inadvertently with my other arm when I'm going about my day. (When crossing arms etc). This sometimes slides the screen off of the watch face to an app screen and sometimes if I bump it again, it will activate an app showing on the screen.

Now and then I'll hear the camera click because I accidentally activated the camera app. Or, sometimes I'll look a the watch to tell the time and see that the Settings app is open. This is no big deal, but.........

A couple of times over the year that I've had the watch, I've managed to select and activate the Dialler app. This has caused the watch to call someone on my contact list without my knowledge.

I have no need to dial from the watch, so to avoid the chance of future unwanted calls, I looked for a way to uninstall it. But, I can't seem to find a way. Is this even possible?

I normally keep mine set to where I have to use the power button to turn on the display. In addition to preventing accidentally doing things like you mention, it allows me to consistently get 3 to 4 days wear between charging.

Interesting... I never thought of doing that. Of course it may be a pain having to poke the watch every time I want to see the time.. But on the other hand, I can see it making the battery last a lot longer..

I'll give it a try.. Thanks.
