I did factory reset my phone because of this problem. But still the problem persists. Like a while ago, the chrome browser on my phone just keep closing by itself. I opened it again many times but it won't stop closing. Then a screen button for screen shot of my phone would be activated by itself although it didn't actually continue to take a screenshot.
If this is some kind of virus trying to get some information on my phone using my wifi, so I immediately turned the wifi so it won't transfer any picture and information. And after i did that after a minute, the apps stopped opening and closing by itself.
I remember installing one app from playstore and after I did that this thing started. I forgot what app since I deleted that a few months ago. Deleting it didn't stop the problem. Seems like some program are left embedded in the software even after un- installing it.

Yes you says correct.. Some times due to virus attacks we get this issues, that's why before installing any app must check. Hope your problem will be solve soon..

I just install apps without using antivirus. What are you using. I should install one. I think the virus is trying to scan important passwords and log in username. And maybe other important files that they can use

I`m sorry can`t help you with that but if that happens to me I will seek help to the expert and go to a repair shop to check it out. Maybe they can refresh the system

I just avoid logging on my online bank with the phone infected with virus. I use my other phone for that.

I know somebody who had similar trouble when he got apps on his phone that he did not install by himself. He had to keep topping up his phone with money and it got very expensive until he found a way to block the apps.
