Default [Q] Disable Vodafone 360 Services

Hallo everybody,

I Want to ask if anybody Over Herr aleeady Manager to disable the Vodafone 360 Services on the Search-Button?!
It's totaly useless to me since I am no Vodafone User. I've already noticed, that the LG Optimus US linked to Bing. I find this More usefull.
So If Dome of you already found a Way, please let us know :).

I just removed the app. I am a vodafone customer, but still thought it was no good. Hold your finger on the app until the uninstall option appears.

I think he's asking about the search button behaviour in the browser, which brings vodafone360 site. Unfortunately this cannot be changed. Probably it's a good idea to post about that in Microsoft's forum. If more people bring complaints about this, eventually Microsoft could add an option for manual selecting of the default IE search engine. For the time being the only kind of work-around is to press home before pressing search. That's stupid, isn't it?

I have an unlocked Vodafone Trophy, and hitting Search in the browser shows me Bing. Without uninstalling their app yet.

OK, thanks for your answers. Like martoto Said. "It's stupid" that I have to hit the homebutton first.
Little Question to "Tom Servo", with unlocked die you mean "without simlock"? I am asking, because my Phone don't have Simlock either.

I have a Vodafone HTC Trophy, and unpinned the Vodafone 360 tile straight away and haven't opened it at all. I have Bing as my default search provider.

The phone has a screen lock and SIM lock, you can set up the SIM lock in Settings> Applications> Phone, at the bottom of the page. Enable the SIM security and enter your chosen PIN, turn off and enter your PIN to disable.
