Am not rooted, but have app's installed that 'might've' caused issues. Please advise whether should factory reset or... Where's my BBC news reader gone? Pls help or handset meeting hammer soon! List of apps available to share/show on appbrain. Losing patience in a dangerously fast way. Help pls, should I factory reset & start over? Help/advice pls. J.
 
Thank's for yr reply. Am frustrated, as you picked up on, as have been trying to figure this out for too long. I use certain apps to get my handset running as fast & smoothly as possible w/out rooting (which I am extremely interested in, though I cannot rely on the mixed msg's pro and con I've read, and the fact that I cannot afford to brick my device. Have heard much of one-click rooters, but again don't know I can trust them, maybe you've ideas/suggestions about these apps?)
There is a list of my app's both in & uninstalled at AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/user/UnholySpirit. I hope that link helps. Am finding my device running so slowly and glitchy that reckon the factory reset is close to re-happening. Would greatly appreciate all yr ideas and help. J.
