Carrier Services is a utility developed by Google. It is intended for specialists, but may also be useful for the average user. In terms of mobile terminology, Carrier is a component of phones running Android OS that updates the IMS architecture. What is this, is it possible to delete the application - this is discussed in the article.
What is IMS architecture
An undemanding smartphone user is unlikely to come across such an abbreviation. IMS architecture, in a nutshell, is an IP protocol-based specification used for exchanging multimedia data. Initially, this development was created exclusively for multimedia services. Over time, experts assessed its capabilities and “built” an entire architecture based on it, controlling the Internet connection. In the Carrier Services program, the IMS architecture is “connected” by mobile networks. Due to this, cellular operators have expanded the list of services that they are ready to offer.
Option 5: Clean up residual files from the previous version
It is possible that the program in question was previously installed on the target computer, and after its removal some files remained, which is why the installation of the new version does not start. They will have to be found and removed manually.
- Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming. Keep in mind that User here is the name of the account you are using.
- In the root directory, right-click on the “uTorrent” folder.
- Using the context menu, select “Delete” and confirm this operation.
- You can immediately call the “Run” utility through the standard keyboard shortcut Win + R. In it, enter regedit and press Enter to activate the command.
- In the “Registry Editor”, click on the “Edit” drop-down menu in which you need the “Find” item. The same tool is launched by pressing Ctrl + F.
- Enter utorrent in the field and start searching for matches.
- Delete all registry keys found until there are no more matches.
To apply all changes, be sure to restart your computer, and then run the executable file to install muTorrent.
About the program
Google initially released it for Pixel and Nexus phones running Android Nougat OS. As it turned out, the application has considerable benefits, both for ordinary users and for developers. It was decided to adapt the utility for other smartphones. It looks like a puzzle in Google's signature colors.
The utility is available on devices with Android OS older than version 6. Its task is to update the IMS architecture. Telecom operators also need this, as the quality of services and the consumers who use them improve. As a rule, the program is preinstalled, but it can be downloaded separately from the Play Market.
Option 6: Run Carrier.exe
An executable EXE file is a kind of archive that is unpacked when the installation of the target software starts. This means that you can open it through an archiver and view the contents. In our case, this feature will help us find the Installation Wizard, which allows us to bypass the problem associated with the installation of uTorrent.
- Download and install any convenient archiver that supports opening EXE files.
You can find one in a separate category on our website by clicking on the following heading. Read more: Archivers for Windows - Go to the muTorrent installer and call up its context menu by right-clicking.
- Select the item responsible for opening through the archiver. If such an item is missing, use the “Open with...” item or launch the archiver manually through the “File” drop-down menu and select the “Open” item.
- Review the contents of the archive and run the “Carrier.exe” file.
- The Installation Wizard should start. Follow the instructions there to complete the installation.

Features and Features
Carrier Services is “tied” to communication services, the work of which is based on new technologies. To put it simply, smartphone owners, software creators and mobile network operators may not think about any updates. That is, the smartphone is already compatible with network technologies. Google, through the Carrier Services program, reads and modernizes all processes.
The utility is also designed to improve the performance of native instant messengers installed on Android. This applies not only to the visual component. Thus, users get the opportunity to correspond (as well as create group chats) without an active connection to the network. But here one point needs to be taken into account - the cellular network operator must give permission to activate Carrier Services and the messenger. You can work in them like this, but without additional “tricks”.
Is the program necessary for the average user?
The owner of the gadget may not even know that his phone has the Carrier Services utility. But it is precisely this that opens access to the services of a cellular operator, which are based on new technologies. What the utility gives:
- more services from the operator, and of better quality;
- improves communication quality;
- increases the operating time of the smartphone (reduces the time between recharges);
- expands the functionality of the pre-installed Android Messages messenger.
Using the application, you can fully communicate with other subscribers without an Internet connection.
This program improves the services already provided by the operator. For example, users may notice that their phones have improved location accuracy.
What other functions are there:
- forwarding incoming calls;
- viewing call log;
- SIP calls (voice over Internet protocol);
- dividing contacts into categories.
The functionality depends on the smartphone model. To take full advantage of the program, your mobile operator must approve the use of Carrier. One more point should be clarified - the utility works in conjunction with “Android messages”. And it exchanges data over the network even when the Internet is not connected. Thanks to this, the user can:
- communicate with a subscriber from the contact list without connecting to the network (with the ability to attach images, emoticons);
- correspond in group chats and manage them.
For normal operation, the program should be updated to the latest version.
You can update the program in Google Play Market.
Option 4: Check the properties of uTorrent.exe
If the installation was blocked the first time because the OS considered the source from which uTorrent was obtained to be unreliable, most likely all subsequent attempts will also be stopped. This is due to the fact that a special parameter is set in the file properties to prevent installation. You can check and disable it like this:
- Navigate to the software's executable file and right-click on it.
- In the context menu that appears, select the last item “Properties”.
- Once on the first “General” tab, find the “Caution” block, check the box next to “Unblock” and apply the changes.
After this, you can immediately proceed to launching the executable file to check the effectiveness of the actions performed. If the problem was indeed a restrictive parameter, the installation should now proceed without problems.
How to uninstall an application
The software is already pre-installed on the phone and belongs to the system category, that is, the user will not be able to remove it. What is available to the owner of the gadget: suspending the program or refusing updates. This is done through the Play Market or settings:
- Open Application Manager and look for Carrier Services there.
- Click "Stop".
- Click on the vertical ellipsis (“More” button) and select “Uninstall updates.”
In general, the utility operates without problems in the background and practically does not consume phone resources. On the contrary, it can be considered useful, because it improves the performance of cellular communications and opens up a number of opportunities.
Carrier Services is a useful utility installed on Android devices. This software updates the IMS architecture, thereby improving the quality of services provided by cellular operators. It takes up practically no space in memory, we consume a minimum of resources, so there is no need to rush to get rid of it.
Why does the average user need Carrier Services software?
So, Carrier Services is a program created to update the IMS architecture. But how can users use it? Usually this service is already available on your phone, it is considered system, so you can’t simply remove it. It provides us with a connection with the provider, that is, thanks to the service application we can use new services of operators. Let's list the advantages:
- Use of an expanded list of services offered to us by the provider.
- A noticeable increase in the quality of services, which is ensured by the use of new technologies.
- Increase the performance of your mobile phone without charging. The technology helps preserve battery charge percentages.
- Increases the number of SMS messenger options.
- Improves smartphone location accuracy.
How to solve a problem
A fairly simple and concise way to solve how to get rid of this limitation on iOS 8.3 and other operating systems was invented. It is enough to register the APN, and everything will fall into place. To do this, you need to do the following:
- Go to “Settings” and select “Cellular”;
- Then click “Cellular Data Network”;
- In the “Modem Mode” section you must enter the “Username”, “Password” and the “APN” value that were assigned by your operator;
- Reboot the device.
After such simple manipulations, everything should work, and the message “To enable modem mode, contact Carrier” should disappear, and the active “Modem Mode” function will appear instead. A logical question arises: what should be entered into the data fields? We have prepared settings that are used by the main operators in Russia: MTS Russia APN: internet.mts.ru User: mts Password: mts
Tele2 Russia APN: internet.tele2.ru User: do not enter anything Password: do not enter anything
Beeline APN: internet.beeline.ru User: beeline Password: beeline
MegaFon APN: internet User: gdata Password: gdata
If you have entered these settings, but nothing still works, check their correctness and contact your operator, who will suggest the current parameters.
Carrier - what kind of beast is this?
First, a little theory and explanation. In the general sense, the word carrier means “operator”, in our case it means TELE2, MTS, Megafon and other well-known brands. You shouldn’t be afraid of the appearance of the check carrier message on your iPhone; this means that you need to make some manipulations with the phone’s parameters.
First, go to the “Settings → About device → Operator” menu, making sure that the carrier inscription is present, check whether there is a “Modem mode” menu item. If it’s not there, then for sure, the phone asks you to contact your telecom operator to reconfigure some of the nuances.
The appearance of the inscription is possible in all versions of iOS, starting with 6. Now the “carrier” problem is especially relevant for the new 7s and 8s with iOS 10 and 11, respectively.
