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

I think that the last thing I've installed was a game (doodle jump) and it was like a month ago or so. I'm using lookout but I've installed it a long time ago

Can you give it a try and remove any security apps that you have?I do not want you to repair your software if we can find which app does it.

Waiting for your answer.If you repair software(last resort),all phone memory is erased.

They still reappear. Don't know what else to do, I've never met anyone with the same problem. It's not that is keeping me of using the phone, but it makes the start up really slow because they are all being installed again... Should I just drop it and live with it? 😕

No,I think you should download sony update service and repair your phone.It is your choice.

Hey there alexdon,

 

After all this time backing up important data of the phone, I decided to restore the phone to factory settings. It was the extreme measure, but it did resolve the problem Winking_Face Glad for your time!
