question about Smart Phones, pre paid service and data plans...

You're stuck with most of the preloaded bloatware unless the phone has a safe root method and gets rooted. Then you're likely to void any warranty.

Some of the carriers let you disable some of the bloatware. Check in the device settings-application manager. If you installed an external SD, you can also move some apps off internal storage to the SD card.

Zege - once you assign that ringtone, it will get stored in the default location for that media by the phone OS, so it's probably safe to uninstall Zedge.

I do recommend swype for a replacement keyboard.

FYI, Google Play has a Family Library for sharing paid apps if you have any other Android smart phones.

If you don't have a dedicated scanner or are interested in nationwide events, take a look at Scanner Radio.

Camscan lets you take photos of documents and convert them to PDF. I've found that to be very handy.

Hey while we're talking about this, does anyone know how to edit the dictionary in the phone? I'd really like it if my phone would stop thinking that "amd" is a word and auto-correcting to make me look like an idiot all the time.

Just type a word in and get autocorrect to show, misspelled or not, long press the word until you get a pop-up. Slide the pop-up. You should see dictionary on the right end.

camscan is good, so is "barcode scanner." I use it to look stuff up on store shelves all the time.

Thanks and thanks.

HBAR hasn't seen a store shelf since 1993 though.

Brutal, just tried your suggestion on the dictionary and it worked as described. Double thanks.
