Stop phone carriers from forcefully pushing company branded applications and theme's on handsets purchased, I for one would like to see mobile's come as advertised by Manufacturer and not full of what has become known as "Bloatware" by the industry and Media. This type of branding often ruins the experience of the device or causes faults or performance issues within device it' self. It also has an affect on timed scheduled updates from manufacturers ,often taking much longer meaning OS updates coming from say "Android" are much longer even missed due to this. I would like to see a stop to this and it would more then likely stop users wanting to "Root" or "Hack" there device to achieve this, resulting in loss of warranty.

Seeing this grow is exhausting yet it proves that others are just as tired of carrier bloat as I am. We have reached a point where they can no longer pretend we do not notice the performance issues. I am drained from the pushback but we have the momentum now to keep moving forward.

Ridiculous that I pay 800 bucks for a phone and its bogged down by useless apps I cant even delete. Let me use the device I paid for.

I just want the plain software like google intended. tired of waiting months for updates because the carrier needs to put their logo on the boot screen.
