expert2,

I suspect virus in my smartphone - smsreg, com.android.*.*, com.Google.android.voices - have disabled them.

can I delete them (how?), shld I repair phone at low yat plaza, or shld I just ignore them, etc...? TY.

screenshots? how? sorry smartphone illiterate...
(FYI, after disabling suspected virus and rebooting, I get extra 140mb free space back. BTW, someone told me to reformat - what is that in s/phone?)

further info: phone = lenovo, suspect virus because battery drained very fast when data connection on. TY.

hi NightFelix,

some 'apps,plugin' under apps - their disable buttons are already dimmed - cannot disable (or enabled either). Some like ConfigUpdater, Basic Daydreams, GooglePartnerSetup, KeyChain, MagicSmokeWallpapers, Omacp, PhaseBeam, PicasaUploader, VCalender, VoiceCommand, VpnDialog- unsure whether will disable important programs. Some like WorldClock, VoiceUnlock, FusedLocation, EngineerMode - their Disabled and ForceStop button are already dimmed - cannot disabled.

you advised to disable them - will virus continue operate after disable? Factory reset - will reset kill the virus at root vs erase data only? ???!!!

(sorry for late reply because difficult to take screenshots AND post message from phone).

one screenshot - both stop&disable button dimmed; another screenshot - both buttons not dimmed (I pressed stop but restart later) - but don't know can disable w/o disabling other impt programs.

got many other small apps like mentioned but don't know can disable or not - maybe their memory/battery usage is neglible?

is rooting phone easily done? (google and found a few rooting program but are they like safe, no consuming too much phone memory,etc?), But other people cannot simply delete apps in future when phone rooted? ie. no solve one problem but other potential problems surfaced. if difficult to control future outcome, can I just ignore them apps that cannot be disabled....or just do factory reset? your opinion?

(FYI of other readers - screenshots done by holding power off button and volume down button simultaneously - MUST hold down both together for a while until screen capture sound comes out - one method of screen capture which needs many many attempts).

another screenshot - some apps I think shouldn't be there (but they are dimmed at both stop&disable button).

think I will not root phone. ah ha-ha.
