Resets of accounts or the phone? You could try a factory restore the phone to see if helps the issue? Also is it only one file or all the files do that?

Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi or enabled mobile data for larger files. Additionally, make sure you have enough space to install the applications. While it should tell you the insufficient space pop-up, it might now.

Chinese bloatware is like that. That is why I avoid fake tablets by a mile. Honestly, if stock ROM doesn't work, I doubt there are other alternatives. For bloatware removal, you could have installed Malwarebytes, disconnected from the internet, ran Malwarebytes and manually stopped processes and...

Software updated to the latest? No applications that are displaying notifications or forcing an active screen? I know that some apps can control your screen lock, which could be a potential issue.

It does. I think some system partition files are still left intact so it can reset properly, but cached partition will be fully cleaned up. It is a nearly a blank slate. If you want a 100% confirmation, you would have to reflash your ROM.

To be fair, it's not that surprising. The apps, even popular ones can get hijacked or malicious ads pushed through their ad program. So no one is safe from that, but being extra careful can be a benefit.

Honestly, if the problems persist for this long and are far too thorough to remove using conventional ways, I always recommend a factory reset. Granted, users who do not keep backups can get burnt from this, but that is a lesson you learn. For more concerned users, I recommend changing your...

Syncing your data with your email is probably the best option to go. Any other way isn't exactly viable.

I can second Fire's opinion. You do not. If you are not planning to root the phone or do anything else funky with it that can damage its security, you should be good to go. Just remember to be careful what apps you are downloading and what browser extensions you are adding, as that often can...

I would assume receiving massive amounts of bright light directly into your eyes without any cover or filtering would either damage or completely burn the nerves down.

Hi.

Have you tried simply restarting the phone? Also, your phones connectors might be used, if you frequently remove your SD or your phone experienced some form of damage (Fall, water, dust, etc.)

Hi.

I am pretty sure you can revert any google service updates, meaning you can get your old page back. I can assure you this is not a virus. You can still check your install apps and running apps/service to see if there are any suspicious ones, but this is a default service right now. Nothing to...

Worm (Network virus) is possible. You could try checking if there are no custom settings placed on your router. Additionally, restarting or resetting it might help, but as B. Diddy mentioned, most likely a firmware rewrite is going to be needed.
