Does Verizon load the Note 4 with a ton of bloatware?

[2dub]

I'm considering the Note 4, (But would rather wait for the Nexus 6). For those of you who have the Note 4 does Verizon cram it up with bloatware?

[ynggrsshppr91]

No, but Samsung does.

Yes verizon DOES load with a ton of bloat!! More than any other carrier.

[ynggrsshppr91]

Irrefutable proof please?

Vz nav, my Vz mobile, message+ , vz protect ...shall I go on?

And you can always disable those.

[Caneman904]

Doesn't change the fact that it's loaded on the device. FULLY disabling some of these can cause other functions of the device not to work correctly and furthermore verizon is the biggest stickler on locking down their bootloaders....I pay for a phone I should be able to do as I wish with it

[ynggrsshppr91]

Yea, so buy the developer edition if you "pay" for your phones

Disable yes, but most of us want to delete the Verizon crapware.

Android or third party apps from the Play Store can do these things better than Verizon software can.

Amen. My phone, my software.
