I’m pretty sure that Orange are aware of it, but I’m not entirely sure as to the reasoning behind them doing it. Glad I could be of service anyway.

After speaking to Orange for an hour and then doing the same with HTC, I used Google and found this solution.
Fixed problem in seconds.
It’s just a shame Orange & HTC were not aware of this.
Many Thanks

I have to admit that the sheer volume of unremovable apps that Orange add to their mobiles is annoying; especially when the HTC Desire has a notoriously low amount of memory. That said, I’ve been with the network for 12 years and found them to be a very good provider and also their promotion of the Android platform has been second to none (kudos).

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

That’s definitely worthy of note. However, if you are comfortable with RegEx it shouldn’t be too difficult a change.

Can’t believe that, on top of installing UNREMOVABLE USELESS APPS that eat at your mobile broadband quota, Orange had also to turn your portable Wi-Fi hotspot into a lame duck.
Thank goodness for random knights in shiny armor of the internet always ready to solve other people’s problems!

Thanks Hugh. I’m quite ashamed of some of my older classes if I’m completely honest, so it’s nice to know that some people still find them useful. I will be updating a few classes over the next couple of weeks so I will most certainly bare your suggestion in mind (and I’ll be sure to credit you if I use your code). Many thanks for taking the time to post.
