Ok I've tried Norton, webroot, Kaspersky, bit defender, comodo, avast, avg, sophos, and more. I've tried support with TMobile. Emailed Google support with no reply. Exhaustively searched the internet for answers. Multiple factory resets both via software and hard resets. My phone is not rooted.
I'll only put some of the issues for now. In 3 days my phone went through almost 30 gb of data over cellular network as opposed to years of averaging 4 gb at most per month. Battery drains many times faster. There are many new system apps that no one has identified for me. Antivirus apps warn third party apps have access to install but settings says no. Settings will flash a lot and crash frequently as well as reset permissions and toggles. Hidden menu reveals that third parties are listed as trusted user credentials but settings shows blank. And more...
So pretty sure I have some malware here. One system app particularly uses tons of data. INVISIBLE NET. if I create a shortcut to it, it reveals a growing list of other apps including Amazon, porn, games, Chinese apps I don't even know what they are and many more. Each lists the association as .Alias## with ## each being different like 49, 52, 53, etc. Each factory reset seems to load different lists here. Settings list many more unknown system apps and sophos log even returned final results for almost half of them as unknown, yet like the others said all is fine. Any suggestions or give up and go to iPhone. BTW this is the third new phone in three months time each exchanged by TMobile. I'm tired of paying warranty exchange taxes though.
