Android Central Question
OK, so I've tried everything I can think of and this is my last hope before I decide to factory reset my whole phone.
I downloaded an app and it shows up on my screen. I have a Samsung S5, so of course when you go to Applications on your phone, you'll see all the apps on your phone. This one, there's no record of.
I've tried to delete this app by going into safe mode - doesn't work, trying the steps with apps with device administrator privileges and whatnot - nothing. It shows up nowhere.
I've downloaded virus cleaners, ect.
The virus shows up on only some of them. The kick is, it doesn't show the app that is causing the problem. It shows "Phone". The app is basically embedded into my phone or something. So if I get even close to finding a solution to uninstalling it, it shows up as "Uninstall Phone" which I can't do because it's my phone?
The virus is a g-ware virus / a fake app.
I don't know what else to do except factory reset or consider buying a new phone altogether.
