Hello, I saw that about a week ago when I want to set a wallpaper and ask me for crop aplication, there is a com.sonymobile.china.photoeditor app. Is this a virus?

I don't use antivirus on my phone as it slows down (my phone) and drains my battery faster

This is not an option for me because I don' t have a Pc. The only apps I had instaled are from Google Play, a few, and some pictures from net. Nothing else.

Do you have a Mac?

[alexanderive]

No.I only have Android phones and tablets.

On a tablet try to access

myxperia.sonymobile.com

and you could reset your phone.

Strange. I had uninstalled all the aplications I had, nothing. In app manager I found two apps named Photo editor, with Sony icon, one about 1 mb and another about 2 mb. The one about 2 mb had the uninstall option, I used it and voila, no more china.

Perhaps you went to a website and you have 

settings > security > unknown sources and it was installed.

Still I have the sistem app named com.sonymobile.china.photoeditor.res.overlay version 305 and in Sony update app, I have a new update for Photo editor version 4.0

[alexanderive]

No, I am aware of that option and I instal only from Google.

There is a photo editor app now built into the Album app and then there's an alternative with different options from Sony available from the Play store
