All the dates on my system files are Dec 31, 2008. Sign of a problem?

[Android Central Question]

I think an unauthorized app got loaded and did this to hide.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Is it rooted? Is it otherwise acting oddly?

 

[spacecoaster]

I have the same issue. Phone is not rooted. Phone does act strange at times. Settings change by themselves and I have 2 of some apps when I should have only one

It's probably worth backing up your data and doing a factory reset.

 

[spacecoaster]

I will try that . What date should the system files show?

Where are you seeing the dates? In the Settings>Apps​ menu, or using a file manager app?
