I'm assuming you are new to Samsung? They are the kings of junk software.

This isn't from Samsung. They don't install this junk. It's from the phone carrier (ie: AT&T or Verizon). Quit spreading FUD.

These particular apps may be provider added, but Samsung has a hardcore reputation for bloatware on their Android devices. I can't think of another manufacturer that includes more junk ware than Samsung.

"Mobile Services Manager" is not Samsung, it's provider phone branding.
