How? Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, ICS, locked to my carrier, unrootable. I've been wanting to get rid of it ever since the phone started running out of space all the time, app info gives no option to remove it. Is this a case of my manufacturer/carrier are more annoying than yours, or am I really missing something?


I was being sarcastic. I'll probably never rid myself of the damn thing.


Dammit, it's really easy on my rooted Touchpad, but this thing's horrible for it. It'd be fine if it had storage space, but nope.


You can "disable" it through the Applications menu under Settings.


I had to uninstall updates (the option where disable normally is), and then I could go and disable it, weird. Thanks though, disabled and uses about 1/6 of the space of the updated one :)


Excellent. :) It's not the best solution, the best solution would be the ability to uninstall it completely, but it's better than nothing.


I was able to root my Arc S (but UK model/unlocked). I seem to recall using this method, but would need look on my PC for the files i used to verify... http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/09/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia...
