Phone manufacturers & carriers: Stop adding bloatware (junk software) in Android phones

Phone manufacturers & carriers: Stop adding bloatware (junk software) in Android phones

The Issue

Since many years, manufacturers and carriers have put their own apps in the mobile phones that they sell. In the past, every brand had their own OS, because there wasn't any generic OS to install on it. But now, we have an incredible OS, Android, which is fast and robust. But most of phones are slow, very slow. And people blame Android. They are wrong. Android is not to blame, their mobiles are slow because of the BLOATWARE.

What is bloatware? Bloatware means "junk software". That is, the apps that manufacturers and carriers install on your phone, which are useless. Have you ever used any of this apps? Probably the answer is NO. And, as if that wasn't enough, many manufacturers, like Samsung and Huawei, modify the OS to look different (often worse), and the phones run slower that it can run. For example, EmotionUI, the personalization layer of Huawei, is poorly optimized, and it runs VERY, VERY SLOW. It force close many times, the device suddenly become unresponsive, etc. But this doesn't happen only in Huawei, this happens in most devices, whatever brand, specially in low-end devices.

Putting bloatware in the mobile phones only makes dissatisfied people, because not everyone knows how to root their phones to remove it. I'm pretty sure that you also hate this junk software, so... What are you waiting for? Sign now and spread the word!
