Unknown Caller ID Spam (Unable to Uninstall)

[abhishek77777]

Hi,

Since the last few days a strange Caller ID Spam software has suddenly popped on on my phone. It is not present in the apps hence I am unable to uninstall it.

Anyway I can get rid of this without formatting the phone?

Welcome to Android Central. I'd say it is an app, adware most likely that may have come with something else that you installed. If you long press on that screen it may tell you which app is generating it. There is no need to reset (you can't format an android phone) the phone. Go to Settings, Apps and start looking for something unrecognized.

it might be generated by another package, most unwanted apps do that.
so I recommend checking all packages installed on the phone one by one.

Even I was also facing this issue. Uninstall Shareit app. This might solve the issue.

I am having the same problem, but with a different device (Note 8). Any other idea of what it could be as I don't have this app? I was originally thinking it was the premium Caller ID app bloatware from Sprint (which on the Note 8 can't be deleted). But I'm hoping it is something else so that I can get rid of this ANNOYANCE.

I had this exact same problem. I found the app that was causing it. It was an app called viva video. I Uninstalled it and the maleware is gone. There are other apps it could be hiding in. Check your apps and do not download any apps that start with QU or DU. I hope this helps.

Thank you sir! I just helped my friend with this fix. He was on the verge of factory resetting his Galaxy S8. Poor guy LOL!
