Help 15 Day City ID trial expiration

[kibble]

Anybody else receive their 15 day CityID trial expiration? I just got mine right now and I hit No when it asked if I wanted to keep it for $1.99/month.

The funny thing is that ever since I got my phone, I haven't been bothered with reminders or anything from City ID. I saw it once when I got the phone and haven't seen it again until now. I've read that some people were constantly getting bothered with reminders about the 15 day trial.

Cant you just uninstall it if you dont want it?

I tried uninstalling but it's greyed out. You can't do anything with it. Seems pretty shady.

Nossuh, there's currently no way to remove it. There's no option to uninstall.

The app is built into the "rom" it can't be deleted, (thank Verizon)

I find this annoying as well. I also wish there was a free service as $24/yr is NOT worth it. It's nice having it but not necessary.

And to not be able to remove it annoys the shit out of me.

I can't get rid of Backup Assistant either.

It can't be deleted? Wow. That sucks.

well at least we now know you can stop the friggin prompts once the 15 days lapse... ty!

In an effort to find a free replacement for this program, I found Voice Caller ID. That's pretty cool!

Voice Caller ID - Android app on AppBrain

It reads off the name of the person calling. It has good settings and works flawlessly - except spelling out 'p-r-i-v-a-t-e" - but that's OK.

Yes but guess what, I personally like the feature but don't want to pay, just force quit the program from applications, clear the cache and reload it and BLAMMO, reset 15 more days.

I actually like the City ID... although it gets some mixed up. For the most part, it does a good job.

Where do you clear cache?

well, it gets rid of that trial message but...it still doesnt work.

Where do you clear cache?

Settings > Applications > Installed Apps

Find City ID, select it, Force Stop at the bottom, then clear data at the top. Just tried it and it worked. Not sure how I feel about it, but it does work.

I just tried it and it worked for me. I ran the app and checked sub status before (expired) and then after (15 more days).

I get that they have to sell spots to app makers and load bloatware on electronic devices. But it should be taken in to account that if a user doesn't want it, if it can't be uninstalled, it should at least be able to be hidden and just sit quietly back in the corner like the red-headed step child we treat it to be!

It's not that I don't like what it does, it comes in somewhat handy for figuring who's calling you, especially when you don't know the number, it's just that $1.99/month for something like that seems like too much. I think I'd be ok with it if maybe it was $0.50 or something. I hardly make/receive phone calls as it is anyway, most of my usage is data and txt messages (thankfully I have $2.99 unlimited txt messaging to anyone ). Since I got my phone on April 27th, I only have about 50 logged calls on my phone, not including a few missed calls.

Where do you get $2.99 unlimited text?

Where do you get $2.99 unlimited text?

+1.......I couldn't negotiate any deal with Verizon on text messaging plans....

 

[Skipdawg]

Yea after the 15 days it seems to just sit there. At least no more nagging. I have crapware/nagware apps. LOL

I loved that feature on my old Voyager. I always knew who was calling without having to look at my phone!!!

Yeah, after 15 days, and you hitting "no", it'll stop bothering you.

You can't get it anymore, this was something that was offered sometime back in 2001. I refuse to change my plan because of it. The only thing I had to add back in 2004 was unlimited data because that's when I got my first PDA phone.

Yeah, after 15 days, and you hitting "no", it'll stop bothering you.

And also quits displaying incoming city?

I'm only on day 6.
