There's a lot of sony bloatware. Is it safe to disable them from the settings?

It should be fine

Settings > apps > all > look for the apps > disable

Will this really not cause problems?
Yesterday my screen went black (off) and I couldn't get it back on. Then I found a little red button next to the SIM slot. Figured it was a reset button, pushed and held it for a moment. And my phone booted again.
After that I saw numerous topics and posts about people having their screen dying on them. I started to worry.
That's why I ask if it's certain that it won't cause problems, disabling preinstallend apps. (hangout, playback etc)

Are their people who already did so? If yes could you please say what apps you disabled?

My opinion is not to disable all as some processes are directly related to your phone functions. So select the specific apps & disable them.
