[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 746085, member: 53544"] My dad got a chinese phone with the same issue, not even factory reset would solve. This is what I did to "solve it": [LIST=1] [*]Install NoRoot Firewall [*]Install Sophos Antivirus for Mobile [/LIST] Denied internet access to every single app that demanded it, except WhatsApp, Chrome, Sophos, and apps that you strictly need and know what they are. I then scanned the device with Sophos and deleted every existing malicious app. Of course, since it was factory based, some malicious apps couldn't be deleted. But I did delete everything these apps downloaded and I denied access to such factory apps, so they couldn't download anything. Problem solved. [/QUOTE]
