All Infinix Users Should Uninstall This Terrible App by stephendamsoho: 7:05am On Jul 31, 2017
Have you noticed your infinix battery which was great before has been draining in record time? it also gets hot and drains fast even when put in ultra power saving mode?

have you noticed you can't seem to switch on your hotspot and Bluetooth as they automatically switch off?

what could be responsible for this thing? a virus? battery getting weaker? it took time, energy and I was even tethering on the brink of getting rid of my note 2 till I finally found the culprit

The culprit: Babel Font

this app must've been made by some wicked set of humans cuz you'll never even suspect its responsible for it, you'll try frantically even restore factory settings to no avail

here are the app permissions being granted to the app

This app has access to:

Device & app history

Allows the app to view one or more of: information about activity on the device, which apps are running, browsing history and bookmarks

Identity

Uses one or more of: accounts on the device, profile data

Location

Uses the device's location

Photos/Media/Files

Uses one or more of: files on the device such as images, videos, or audio, the device's external storage

Wi-Fi connection information

Allows the app to view information about Wi-Fi networking, such as whether Wi-Fi is enabled and names of connected Wi-Fi devices

Device ID & call information

Allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call

Other

download files without notification
close other apps
receive data from Internet


why a user is not given rights to uninstall it ? Why a font app is given permission to install apps without notification , close other apps and receive sensitive data from the device?

there are rumors that this app is actually a spyware used to send your information to China but let's not digress too much

this app comes with the phone as a "bloatware"

how to remove this system destabilising, battery draining and emotional sucker app?

find Babel Fonts in Settings - App - Babel Fonts, and then uninstall it. it'll ask if you want to go back to default font app by uninstalling update, kindly confirm it

then reboot your phone and you'll notice your hotspot and Bluetooth can now turn on AND your battery lasts longer

Thanks for the enlightenment jare. That app is really useless. It made me sell my Infinix Hot 2 when the battery couldn't take me up to 2hours of usage.

Op thumb up for you. I encountered the same problem when i updated the application. My battery was draining fast and it forced me to factory reset my phone, alas i still installed the application on my phone. It took me some months before i could figure out that the application was the one draining my battery.

if you ever have that screen overlay detected, when you try to allow storage permission just know Babel Fonts is the culprit.
I noticed on devices after hot 4 Pro, the app doesn't come pre-installed.

Bros you are easily the man of the year!!! I swear I have been contemplating on how to flash my phone since Feb cos of Bluetooth and Hotspot Inactivity, I never knew it was this app. I just forcefully stopped it and also disabled it on my device now as instructed and my phone is back to normal. Kudos.

OP, u are very right. I had issues with my Hotspot some months ago and it wasnt until when i uninstalled updates for that useless babel fonts and also reset app preferences before my Hotspot normalized. That babel fonts need to be worked on and the bugs removed.

kudos bro, yeah that app always downloaded an app called notification,

and it depleted my battery, sucked my data subscription, lagged my device, downloaded an apk app and saved on my memory card called rlk framework.

I have long uninstalled the updates and now my device is better..

You are right! It took me more than 3 months, 4 factory resets and a ruined sdcard to realise it was that stupid app all along.

Problem was, the moment I reset, I'd gradually start updating my apps... And a few weeks later we are back to square one.

Successfully uninstalled babel fonts. Just "uninstall updates" and use "force stop", the app would disappear. You can restart your phone afterwards.

My phone is good to go now.
