Uninstalled:
o F-Secure
o Car Home
o LG Email (installed stock android e-mail instead, it actually works with Exchange.)
o PC Suite
o On Screen Phone and related services
o LG Launcher (don't do this unless you're sure you'll not need to factory reset.)
o SNS (Twitter/Facebook, official apps are better.)
o All LG-widgets except for Messages and Calendar.
o Voice Search
If you're unsure if uninstalling an app will mess up your phone, just freeze it instead. (If you're using Titanium Backup, which you should, you can get it to remove it from the Market and app-screen as well, making it appear completely uninstalled. If your phone doesn't do anything strange for a week then it's probably safe to uninstall it for real.)

thanks TrymHansen...
i do have Titanium backup pro. i'm a veteran of the galaxy i7500, so i did alot of freezing and uninstalling.
i opened this thread to compile a list of safe prof uninstalling so everyone will benefit
from it.
your reply is great contribution in that cause.

How you uninstalled all these apps?

Optimus2XPrime -
1. you need to have root (read how to in the Development sector).
2. you need to install any uninstalling tool from the market (Titanium backup for example).
3. you need to be very careful with what you uninstall so the phone will still be usable.
4. advice - uninstall stuff thet you read others have and reported it's fine...

1) done
2) downloaded
3-4) will be done
P.S some minutes after my post I found the answer

what does freeze do ?

removes selected app from app drawer and cannot be started by user and/or system. like they are uninstalled, but still there, occupying few megabytes. can easily be un-freezed from Titanuim

Isnt there any free software ? titanium is paid one

to Freeze LG Facebook, Freeze "SNS".
Music 1.0 vs 2.2.2 - One is the music widget, one is the player.

its not SMS, its S N S Facebook/Twitter/Myspace app
if you want to freeze the SMS app, you need to freeze MMS.apk

[Q] Applications being forced close

Does anyone encounter applications being forced close eg; Gmail, Instagram and returning to the homescreen? I bought it today here in Thailand but the device itself was imported from Singapore. PS, it's C6603 running 10.1.A.1.350 guessing to be Singaporean firmware.

About Gmail problem, I think this problem is causing from the content inside your email. Some can be opened and some cannot (which the problem I found were mostly on email that contained Thai language and any email with attached files).
This should be a firmware or gmail app problem. Hope they will release a fix as soon as possible though cuz I got a serious problem in checking my mail while away from the office. :'(
I have no issue with Instagram so far. My advice is to try to change the display language to English. Hope this help !

Thanks for answering! Anyway, I already changed the system language to English(UK) but the IG still to be the same. Do you think flashing Xperia Z (C6603) 10.1.A.1.350 Original Sony Unbranded UK Rom will solve this problem?

in my opinion;
if after returning to home screen thr s no lag and problem with home screen animation and it works smoothly
so force closed is because of applications
(however not see yet force close in gmail and etc.)
and just say about settings
any change in stamina ! or developers option?

No, I didn't touch any of that.

You have to try a factory reset or repair via pc companion.

I did try a factory reset including set the system language as English since the first boot but the problem still persists.

What language are you using?
Try the default English after resetting the phone.

I am in same situation as you. I bought the phone for 2 weeks in Thailand which imported from Singapore (C6603 running 10.1.A.1.350).
I have found the problem like you that Gmail close itself in some emails, but this problem not happen with Gmail only. I have a problem with Google Reader when I want to read details in the reader from Sony Xperia Z (It is just happen in some page with Thai content.), I get a blank screen flash quickly on the screen then it goes back to the reader page. It is happen to Flipboard, GReader and Socialife too. I have tried to factory reset but It's can't solve any problems.
This is example pages that I have found problems when open from google reader.

I don't know how to fix it. :crying:

I confirmed that this problem happens with others application such as Socialife, or Email app too.
Most of Thai people are currently using XZ C6603 from HK or SG so I think this problem is probably in Firmware or the application and not with the phone itself.
I also tried factory reset 2 times already without touching anything in setting. ( Just add my gmail account and try check the email after reset )
As there is no solution to solve this problem now, I'll just wait to see if this problem still exist in 4.2.2 which Sony should be release soon.
For now, I would suggest that you open Gmail via Google Chrome Browser.

Perhaps, it should be fixed by 4.2.2 with in this month.

Report the issue to Sony.

I don`t wanna open new topic, so I will just reply here. I have same problem with Instagram. Just made an PC Companion repair and it is still same (FW .434). After trying to refresh in news, app just close it self and I am moved to homescreen. It is single app installed from fresh repair. I thought first that problems were with smaller soft buttons, then I though it is problem cuz of root, but now I see that problem is still there...
EDIT:
I found solution for Instagram. Problem starts with version 3.5.x (3.5.1 - 3.5.3). I downgraded to 3.4.5 and now it`s fine, no more FC.

[Q] Is it possible to brick a smart tag?

I got an Xperia TL the other week and wiped the tag that came with it, using an app from the Play Store, but when I went to add content it didn't work. Now it won't accept anything at all...tried with 2 apps.
Also, when my phone upgraded to JB, the Xperia SmartTags app disappeared even though Play Store says it is installed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Paul

Uninstall it from Settings → Apps then install it again?
I also find NFC TagInfo useful.

[REQ] Currency Converter Small App

My currency converter small app forces closing and it seems there's a problem for everyone. Tried re-downlading but nothing changed. I even sent mail to Xperia Care about it and they wanted me to reload whole data again from PC Comp. I also tried Xperia T,TX small apps..But no change.
Anybody has a backup or something?

same thing was happening to me but there was an update for it a couple days ago I got that and now it's working just fine.

[Q] Voice Dialer app?

Guys, when I updated to kitkat, 4 months ago, i noticed that the voice dialler app had disappeared...was this the same with your phones?
And now, ive downloaded the Xperia Z kitkat update FTF and i found that in priv-app folder there is the voice dialler app...so i installed it to my phone, its installing, when i press it, its kinda starting...but it just crashes on the screen, no errors, just hangs...so my point is, if xperia Z has it on kitkat update, why xperia Z1 doesnt have it? And another question, can You please check out your walkman widget...do you have just one widget, or two different (the one from Z2, and i guess the old one without the song progress bar)...is it the just me who has this duplicates (error or something)
