Wavesecure

[Guest LostGeordie]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if I can delete Wavesecure from my SF. Im running the stable 2.1 ROM from Paul. Ive been trying to see if I can improve my battery life and getting rid of applications I dont use. At the moment I only get a day maximum, and often less, with moderate use. Really happy with the phone generally - and I understand for the price, I really cant complain too much.

So any ways to get rid? Uninstall doesnt seem to be an option.

And I guess whilst im here, Id be interested to find out how others are finding the battery life.

All the best,

Andy

You need to delete it from system/app (it's called "com.wsandroid.apk"). You can use things like 7zip to edit the ROM zip that you flashed (and then re-flash it), but if you've updated or installed lots of new apps you could try other methods (like RootExplorer -- note: root access will be required!) to delete it on the live system (then reboot your phone).

If possible id rather not re-flash the ROm. It took me a long time to sort it out first time around, and as easy as it would be, id rather not do it again just yet. I guess I could hold on until i take the plunge with a 2.2 rom.

The phone is rooted. What exactly is rootexplorer? How would I go about using that? Sorry- im aware it may be a lame question, but im quite inexperienced with all this still.

root explorer is a paid app available on the market. I think there is a free alternative called Astro?

Personally i'd say Rootexplorer is well worth the small amount it costs.

I'm sure while I was browsing the market today I saw a Wavesecure uninstaller. I stand to be corrected tho... *My bad - it's an add-on that locks the phone if Wavesecure is deleted, didn't read the description fully*

Hi Mate

I recharge mine every day. Once the kids start playing games on it, it dies quickly. Awful, awful battery life but at least it recharges quickly - saying that thought it got stuck on 73% and I had to shut it down twice before it fully charged.

Get the SYSTEMAPP REMOVER from the Market

For the first 5 charges my battery was terrible!

Since then I have switched off the data connection, wi fi and made sure its in airplane mode at night.

Also, turned down the brightness a few notches (not all the way though, i like my bright oled screen!)

I can now get 3/4 days with moderate use here and there.

Its much easier to turn things on when you need them. (wi fi and data especially)

Why not just use Android Commander?

Its a Windows program that lets you add/remove/edit apps and anything on the device simply and quickly

That involves adb

Using the app is quite a straight forward process

I tried Astro, it does not allow root access [or at least I did not get it] although it looks like a good file browser.

Downloaded the free "App Delete" and was able to use it to get rid of Wavesecure*. Yay!

*such an irritating POS
