Alcatel 1SE - new user - new to mobile phone - GSM-Forum

Hi
I have just receive my first mobile phone and have somehow managed to get started - partly ...........
The first thing I wanted to do was to disable some of the factory installed apps that I will never need/use. Following info gleaned from the internet, I managed to get Settings-apps-manage apps (or similar), got a list of installed apps (and updates etc), but no sign of a means to disable any app.

I would also like to know if setting WiFi on (connection OK and working), and Mobile Data off will let me use the phone via my computer internet connection? (it cost me £9 so far just to setup the phone!)

I tried turning on Bluetooth but my computer didn't find it (unless one of the obscure device found is actually the phone?)

As you can tell, I am a newbie to this mobile lark

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

almost any unwanted apps can be disabled with THIS GUIDE

about second question - if you have lan internet connection to pc, and any kind of wifi card in that same computer,
you can use any of THESE free softwares,
to create personal WiFi Access Point, and use your home broadband via it to phone.
