Annoying little O2 Icon

Anonymous — Sun, 19 Jul 2015 13:41:31 GMT

So two days into my S6 experience and this is annoying me!

If you click on it you get this

These are various numbers - just out of interest the Customer Srv number is for PAYG - I am on refresh.

Despite my best efforts I can't delete this O2 icon, if I select edit on the screen it's on the little delete icon that appears on other icons isn't on the O2 icon and and if i press and hold there is no delete option to drag it to.

Not a big deal I know - but anyone have any ideas how to remove it?

Can you not put it into a folder that could be for junk or apps that you don't use

You can't delete it unless you flash non O2 firmware as it's part of the O2 bloatware in their ROM.

Tardis.
You may be able to find it in apps settings and disable it. But not sure.

That's what I had assumed - not thought through at all really - quick link to PAYG CS on a contract phone!! Oh well it will have to live in the google folder - I don't go in there too often!

No this doesn't give the option to disable.

You should be able to delete it from your home screen but it will always be in the app drawer.

No @Toby! I moved the icon into a folder and it keeps moving itself out of the folder - it's very annoying! Any idea appreciated!!
