Have you thought of maybe deleting or disabling the apps you don't use?

I'm no expert in these matters, but I'm fairly sure it'll be as simple as:
SETTINGS - APPS - REMOVE UNUSED APPS? - YES

That's called 'swype' and it's one of the best Android features.
That sounds like the Galaxy S4. That's what I've got - it's a pretty nice phone.

When you download some apps you have to be careful to look at the permissions.
Facebook messenger wants access to your text messages for some reason.

There was a Blackberry Enterprise client app I downloaded as an experiment for work.
It said "installing this app will give your BES adminstrator the ability to modify and delete personal data".
The fucking thing gave itself admin rights over your entire phone.

Free, no such thing as free. Compare Sim only contracts to Phone + Sim contracts and then Unlocked
phone prices. Pfft, free. I am now doubting all your sage financial pearls.

It's not the apps, they don't actually run unless you start them up, it's just that battery technoology hasn't kept up with phone tech and demands.
