Invisible Net

Derek Willis

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.

    Start with you Google Account.  Perhaps change your password and enable two factor authentication and use another, different email address as a trusted recovery point.  Perhaps even sign up for another Google Account, and then provision it onto a factory reset of your phone.

    If someone else has access to your Google Account they can influence what goes onto the phone and also, what information they have access to...

    When in doubt, Script it out.

    I agree with AzRoN if you have changed your device for three times already it means somebody has access to your private information like google account. Or somebody could have access through hidden device admin app (an infected application that installs itself with administrator privileges) that was installed accidentally. Anyway you have to sign out of all apps required authorization.
