Miro problem: reeinstals apps that i don't want

hi there

I have a sony xperia miro for about a year now, and recently he started doing this annoying thing: whenever i restart the phone, some apps that i've unnistalled in the past miraculously appear installed again, against my will! Such as Evernote, Twiter and a bunch others... As much as I unninstall them, they keep coming back. How can i prevent this?

Thanks

Some of the apps you are talking about are default,they cannot be removed,they can be just disabled.

I have a bunch of those that I can just disable, but this ones I can uninstall and they reappear wheneaver i turn my phone on again, turning my phone slow in the process...

Do you have any task killers or phone optimising apps?I do not know why on earth they would keep coming back.Maybe you are not removing them correctly.

I have GOTaskManager EX installed.

I just remove them like we a normal app: Settings<Apps< *click on app* < uninstall. He tells me that he is uninstalling the app and then that the uninstall finished. Don't know what I am possibly doing wrong Slightly_frowning_Face

Yeah,that is the correct way of removing.You can also clear data for a specific app,because they store data which will stay on your device if you only uninstall.Try and remove that task manager(temporarily) and remove an app that you know it comes back.

Nope, even if I do that (remove the task manager) they are still coming back... This is frustrating :l

Remove 2-3 apps,reboot in safe mode.Do you still find those apps in settings-apps-all?
