Many of you jumped on the E71 bandwagon for cheap, curtesy of AT&T and their E71x. Unfortunately, while you got a newer version of S60 3rd Edition, you were also ‘blessed’ with a boatload of bloatware, including game demos and other junk. Through normal methods, you can’t uninstall any of this, which is a darn shame.
Luckily, there’s a way for you to actually delete it from your phone, using a bit of behind-the-scenes trickery. First , though, you’ll need to download and install X-Plore, which is free, from LonelyCatGames. This file browser allows you a bit more access than the default one already installed on your phone. Once installed, open X-Plore and press Menu, Tools, Configuration. Now, check the box next to anything that says, ‘Show’.
Now, go back to the main screen of X-Plore, where it lists your drives (should show C:, D:, E:, and Z:) Navigate to Z:/system/data/midp2/preinstall, and you’ll find a whole list of files, which should all correspond to the various bloatware apps. Here’s a handy list:
- an529-piranha-js179.jar (AT&T Navigator)
- app-prod-where-E71.jar (Where)
- BrainChallengeVol2DEMONokiaE71EN… (Brain Challenge)
- DEMOCollapseUnitedStatesNOKIAE71… (Collapse)
- mall.jar (MEdia Mall 2.0)
- MobileBanking.jar (Mobile Banking)
- MobiTVNokiaE71ATTTrialen… (MobiTV)
- MobiVJNokiaE71ATTTrialen… (MobiVJ)
- Monopoly.jar (Monopoly)
- MusicID4.0.2Nokiaxxx (MusicID/Shazam)
- mycast5demoacte71.jar (My-Cast Weather)
- remixNokiaE71x.jar (ReMix)
- wikimobile.jar (WikiMobile)
- wpt2attnoke71… (WPT Hold Em 2)
- wvim5en-USes… (Instant Messenger)
- XM-RadioNokiaE71ATTTrial… (XM Radio)
- ypcpiranha_submit.jar (Yellow Pages)
To remove an application (you’ll need to do this one-by-one), highlight the file, then press the left softkey. Navigate to File, Open By System, and it will start to install the application. When it asks where you want to install it, choose your memory card, and let it install there. Once you’ve done that with all of the apps that you want to remove, simply remove the memory card from your phone and format it using your computer.
Now you can enjoy your E71x without having to hassle with all of AT&T’s bloatware! You should also notice a small increase in internal storage, as well.
