Running slowly, slowing down, draining traffic.

Beijing Consumer Wang bought a new mobile phone after the discovery, which pre-installed nearly 20 applications, there are most of their own software. Soon, Xiao Wang found that the mobile phone is running more and more slowly, and mobile data traffic consumption is much faster.

BEIJING, a software security testing agency security experts found that in the Xiao Wang mobile phone program management, more than 10 pre-installed software is running eight, and in the Phone home page does not have any display, only in the background to see. Mobile phone security software experts said, "the mobile phone system after the automatic operation of the program is increasing, the mobile phone will be more and more slow, these programs and manufacturers of data interaction, or software updates, will consume mobile phone traffic."

Unable to uninstall through normal channels

Mobile security experts also found that users could not uninstall the software through normal channels. When you click Uninstall, the system displays "restore the program to the factory version" instead of completely uninstalling it.

In this respect, there is already security vendor software to provide the pre-installed software cleaning function, users can choose to uninstall, but this kind of function generally requires root permissions. The so-called root authority, refers to the highest authority of mobile phone users, in order to prevent users mistakenly delete key applications, root permissions are generally not open to users, but users can get the right through the brush machine.

Up to 30-40 pre-installed software

However, mobile phone manufacturer customer service said that if the user gets root permission to remove pre-installed applications, then the phone will no longer enjoy the warranty service.

At present, the phenomenon of pre-installed software is more and more. Some brand-name mobile phone pre-installed software up to 30-40, and most can not unload, and a number of mobile phone manufacturers have no warranty after root provisions. In fact, to meet the basic functions such as mobile phone call Short message photography, the required software is only about 10, the vast majority of pre-installed software is not necessary.

Xiao Wang said that consumers have the right to choose, for their unwanted applications, should have the right to choose their own uninstall, and mobile phone manufacturers to inform the users can not uninstall it is objectionable.
