Hi,

 I see lot of default apps like below which i do not use but simply sitting and occupying all my phone memeory

Google Play Store 23 mb
google text to speech 41 mb
google+ 300MB
visual voice mail 50 MB
goolge play music 30 mb
google play movies tv 16 mb
google play books 20 mb
glaxy app 19 mb
flipboard 19 mb
media hub 12 mb
samsung push service 4 mb
talkback 6mb
youtube 30mb

All above apps i do not use at all but consuming all the memory. How to delete and stop those app from coming back.It keep on updating back again and again even after deleting from Application Manager??


I can hardly put facebook 230 mb and one other MX player32 mb watsup 40 mb.

I want to put couple of apps like uber(which only takes 17mb) etc but saying your phone memory is not sufficient. Please advise how to free up and increase my phone memory.

I have 32 gb external SD card but i cannot use that to put app except to play some music and vides??

You'll need Google Play Services but for the other ones you uninstall the updates first, before disabling it

Yeah of course :) Samsung include all this bloatware and unless your phone is "rooted" you can't get rid of it.

Turn off auto updating of apps in Google play and then try uninstalling updates, disabling and uninstalling all apps you don't want

Android

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, televisions, automobiles and other electronics. Applications are usually developed in Java programming language using the Android software development kit (SDK), but other development environments are also available, including Delphi, Ruby and Visual Studio (using C++).
