5. Video is either out of date, or my phone does not function the same way as the one it is using.

I suspect the former.

The steps to disable it are correct. But in my opinion disable is kind of a misnomer. It does not prevent it from grabbing default as I have described.

The steps to uninstall it, which are the standard steps to uninstall anything, do not work on my phone. There is no uninstall option. It's good and stuck on my phone, whether I want it or not, which I don't.

Thanks, though.
