[Q] 5.0.1 made me realize I want to uninstall UP and Wellness

[adiror]

Hi,

I've been on 5.0.1 since yesterday. Didn't have any issues with battery before, and now it seems even better.
However, wishing to be fully optimized, I see on the new battery usage option, that besides the 'screen', next in line of battery consumption are 'UP' and 'Wellness'.
Any way to get rid of them, or at least stop them from running?

Thanks

Hi, you can disconnected UP from receiving data, but not remove the program on the watch, as fare as I know.
WELNESS I have the same problem. I want get rid of that too?

What about using:

adb shell pm disable [I]package_name[/I]

I found conflicting information on whether root is required for that. And of course we'd have to figure out what the package names are.

Easiest way i can think of to get the package names would be to run "adb shell top", then scan through the processes until you see the one that your looking for. if they're not listed, just open them on the watch and they should pop up

Well, it looks like the package manager (pm) does require root.
Edit...Oh, and you can get the package names with:
adb shell pm list packages

I was able to uninstall the Amazon app with a simple:
adb uninstall com.amazon.mShop.android
since that was just installed by the Amazon app on the phone.

But trying:
adb uninstall com.jawbone.upopen
results in:
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

I'm sure we'll get this thing rooted soon, and then it should be an easy matter to disable or delete any of the pre-installed apps.

Thanks for the responders above, looks like we'll have to wait

I'd like to get rid of this garbage too. Let me know if you figure it out...

Would also like to get rid of these, I do not use my watch for fitness related stuff and the Wellness app just doesn't even work right. Don't even get me started on the stress level -_-

Disable apps?

So if we can't delete them because we need root, can we disable them? Like using the disable function in application manager...would that work through ADB without root?
I'm in the same boat..can't stand having 3 fitness apps installed (fit, wellness, up) and I do not use my watch with ANY of them! Between battery and overall responsiveness, you can't tell me that having all 3 of these running don't have any effect.

It would be awesome if we can figure out how to uninstall unwanted wear-only apps. Seems like a first generation kind of flaw that'll only get better.
