pdj

Ya ya... Umi don't take care about this. After 3 months se keep on have trojan/malware/adv that i have not buy with the smartphone. I bought a smartphone "with the purity of Google Android 6" as everyone Can see in the product page of London / Diamond. 3 months that i have a brand new smartphone and i don't use It "with confidence". I cannot use It. Thanks Umi for the OTA releasing as quickly as we notice u the issue.

I have exactly the same issue.
bought two UMi Diamond phones.
After a week, both of 'em were with random pop-ups and stuff.
I've never connected these phones to PC.

Hi,
I got the UMI Dianond in early January.
Here are my experience :

The first week everything seemed to be all right, then themselves and unasked there were installed three apps and the switch " unknown sources" had been switched on.
After that time my browser (Chrome) opened unasked when I switched on my handy and showed pages with games and the browser history was filled with links. This took about two weeks, then nothing happened for a while, only the switch " unknown sources" was switched on at least sometimes more than once a day. Yesterday, the phone suddenly started with a new launcher that had been installed unasked.

When we get the urgently needed update, UMI / bencebacsi?

In addition, I found the folder "MiniAppstore", albeit empty. I have deleted it but it will be created again anytime.

It's in progress... Since a month... LOL...
I think, UMI don't take care about his customers problem.
Next time we should buy some real phone, from a factory with real support, like Xiaomi.

I would say: no more UMI, not again...
This was the first, and the last. And it was a failure...
I didn't sent it back in time, because i thought, this can be easily reapired by a software update trough OTA.
How fool I was. In 2 months, there is no update... Shame...

Glad I've come across this post as I was going mad. Got the same problem on a Diamond X - all was fine for about 2 months and now the same issue as above. Had a number of Chinese phones in the past from other manufacturers and never had an issue. This needs sorting ASAP, or I'll be after a full refund and never using UMI again :-(

After sending umi diamond back to Amazon, I have another china phone (THL T9 pro) now and after two weeks after installation suddenly begun similar problems - also installation of trojan backdoors. Therefore will I buy next a phone with an cyanogenmod rom.

Please all of you facing this adware/bloatware issue who have never flashed your phone with SP Flash Tool, do it now choosing the 'Firmware Upgrade" option in the flash tool to get a clean installation, then test your phone again.

My UMi Diamond has been continually powered on and connected to the internet for a very long time already (about 2 months) but I still have not got installed a single unwanted app on my phone. I'm simply not able to reproduce your issue.
