I disabled/uninstalled 19 apps/services, App Hub being the worst, and one other one, I forget the name of it...
I'm new back to Samsung, so would appreciate a list of the ones you disabled/uninstalled.

Been daily driving a Google Pixel for a good while and although the system is still Android, One UI is much different.

That's thorough there, I just went through all the apps and deleted the garbage ones that Appcloud snuck in on my phone. I learned the hard way about Appcloud since that junk wasn't on my old S22 phone.
I couldn't find Appcloud in my apps, which device are you using?

S26+, it's in the settings/apps list on mine. If you find it you'll want to clear it's cache, turn off notifications, and disable that pest. Oh, it's a built in system app so can't be deleted, only disabled.

Extremely nasty, and if you click it by mistake or not knowing what it will do then happy hunting finding the dozen or more junk apps it installs all at one time on your phone.

I'm new back to Samsung, so would appreciate a list of the ones you disabled/uninstalled.
I'll edit the PDF and upload it here.
However, the list will be different for every device/carrier, etc.

Probably. You could Show System Apps and check again just to be sure. Mine was on the main list, same with AppCloud!

Kind of odd..., on my A35 it was called AppHub, on my A17 it was called AppCloud..., clicking on See details in Store at the bottom of either, it just brings you to the Samsung Store, not to a specific app! 🤷‍♂️

Just got a new A57 a few days ago and wanted to use Battery Saver. In my old A52 under Standard Saver I could keep 5g turned on but the rest off. The turn 5g on/off option seems to have gone. I turned Standard Saver on and missed calls etc. Have they removed the 5g option or hidden it somewhere else?

Not clear what you are asking.

If you want to not use 5g
settings, connections, mobile networks, network mode - set to 4g preferred.

If you want to use 5g - set to 5g preferred.
