Although you can't remove those applications without "rooting" your phone, there is a way to hide certain programs from the app drawer. If you install a free launcher such as Launcher Pro from the Android Market, you can select a feature in the launcher configuration where you can "hide" Facebook, Twitter and other social media type programs. The programs are still on the phone, but not obvious to the normal user. Also, if you want to get rid of certain "links" in the web browser, you can "long press" the bookmark and select delete from the context menu. Finally, you might try installing an application called Webnanny in the Android Market to provide some level of content filtering in the browser.

I'm unsure if you want to delete it from the homepages, or delete it permanently so here's how you do both. If you want to delete it from the home pages, touch and hold the icon. The option to "remove" will appear at the top of the screen. While continuing to hold the icon, drag and drop it on "remove". It will be gone from your homepage, but still located in the place described next. If you want to uninstall it completely, click the icon in the middle of the strip of icons on the bottom of the home pages (it looks like a little grid of dots). Find the app in there and do the same touch and hold maneuver as above, except you drop the app icon on "uninstall". Just note that most, if not all, apps that come pre installed can't be uninstalled.

This is late but I'll answer anyways in case someone still needs the information. I am using this phone as you would like to, wifi only, mini tablet. I was able to bypass the activation with no information given or account creation and it has not asked for any since. It has been a while but I think I swiped off screen til it gave me the home screen icon (it doesn't readily give you the option to skip everything), and then I went to options and turned airplane mode on. When you turn airplane mode on it doesn't seek a mobile network (saves battery) and won't prompt you again for activation. Then you can manually turn wifi on. I've been using it for a while and it has worked great as a mini tablet. No scratches on the screen and as you can see, has a good resolution. I use Amazon Appstore, Google Play, EpixHD, Vudu, Flixster, internet, and games. There have been a handful of times where the back/home icons wouldn't pop up with a side swipe but I just hit the screen sleep/wake button and it was fine afterwards.

You don't UNLESS you choose to use the web features of the phone. The phone has limited web capability that will require a data transfer. If you tell your provider you will not be using the web features then they will shut that portion of your phone off and you wont have to.

Only way I know how to turn it off is with the remote it comes with. I have had lots of trouble with the blue tooth connection so haven't used their app much. Maybe you can turn it off via the app

How did you do this? ...How did you disable 3G data usage from within the phone to ensure only WiFi data usage?

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will stillregister all incoming calls which can then be entered in the white list (friends) or black list (nuisance calls).If it's "unplugged", it obviously won't register any calls. When done collecting good / bad calls, put back on "A" forenglish and in service.

I had the same problem as everyone else and simply disabling the firewall did the trick. But I have several remaining concerns:1. why do I have to turn off my firewall, exposing my computer and potentially the network around me to security threats, to sync games between a mobile device and my computer?2. why is there so little core documentation on the mechanism that will yield the manufacturer more money?3. why do I have to go to Amazon to get clear answers to a problem on a device from a hardware and software manufacturer?

My Triumph phone had that. If I recall that feature came stock with phone. I hardly ever downloaded apps cause memory gets filled quick. I broke the Triumph phone, replaced it with new LG 4G phone, but I much prefer the Triumph phone to LG. I may buy another Triumph phone from amazon. Hate this LG phone. The Triumph was good phone, lasted thru 2-1/2 years of my abuse.

Same question as Kevin. When and how do you enter your VM code to retrieve your messages using another phone? When you call your own cell phone number you can leave a message but that is the extent of it. My cell phone was on when I tried. Should it be off??

Yes by clicking on the flash symbol, there is an option to deactivate it. This is the second Fujifilm camera I've bought; one for me and now one for my husband! We both need them for our jobs. Great little camera!

As I recall there is a "delete" option on the main menu...if not, create a "Favs" group without those channels.

I try to manage my Favorites from my computer and use that. But unfortunately that can be a mess on the LG. I only have 29 items on my Favorites list. Yet on the LG, some of them do not appear at all, while others appear without any name. And some just won't load. I keep checking for updates, but nothing. And this is nearly a year after this TV was released. I like my TV, but my experience with Netcast in general suggests that LG doesn't plan to enhance it at all. They really need to add Amazon VOD and improve YouTube.

I found a forum discussion recommending an app called Silent Boot. I just installed it with my LG Optimus Slider and it did the trick for me. Might want to give it a try.

Tried to post question on LG forum "Will BP220 stream AMAZON instant video soon? Ever?".They refused my to post my question because it was "inappropriate".WTF?Last time I buy LG.

David, those apps are available but do not work very well. When I pick a video to watch on YouTube, it takes so long to load I close the application. The Facebook hasn't loaded properly yet either. It shows friends, but the application doesn't seem to work for my purposes. I may just be impatient, but I prefer faster systems.
