so i bought a sony ericsson ray a few months ago.
and it came with these applications that i dont use/need, like appXtra, UEFA.com, +plus and the others, so i uninstall it. and i always turn my phone off when im charging it at night. and when i turn it back on, it stays the same, the app remain uninstall. until i update my phone using sony ericsson pc companion, and it reboot, and there are all those app again, with a few other in addition. now, everytime i turn off my phone and turn it back on, it automaticly install those apps that i dont want. heelp, does anyone know how to stop it?

Those apps were installed by Google, the phone manufacturer, and/or your service carrier. They made them especially to be uninstallable, in a standard phone under their control, on purpose.
Some of those apps, not all, can be uninstalled if you 'root' your phone. They call it 'jailbreaking' on iPhones. You then basically replace the entire Android system that your phone came with – a 'cocktail' by Google, the phone manufacturer, and your carrier – with another version of that same cocktail. Just a slightly different flavour. You can then access, control, and do much more on your phone. Like for instance removing unwanted apps.

However, 'rooting', like 'jailbreaking', voids the phone's warranty. So consider that!

I also think you should consider that a lot of apps/processes, visible and invisible, on your phone interact all the time, exchanging data in the background, to get the job in hand done. That's a whole interdependent framework, an interactive system, a construct. You can probably safely remove a couple dozen beams from that building without weakening its 'structural integrity'. But which ones...?
Pick the wrong one and your phone could start acting 'funny'. And then what are you going to do without warranty? Either that, or the wizard 12 year old next door.
