I don’t know whether you can help.
I recently upgraded my Moto G phone to Android 4.4.4 and ever since I have been unable to change many of the settings via the Android Settings. I can tick or untick boxes but these simply return to their previous state when I return to the same option.
It is as if something is preventing me making these changes either for security or for malicious reasons. Could it be Avast protecting the phone settings or if not could something else be doing it?
I know this is more likely to be an Android fault but I thought I would check here first.
I don’t want to do a factory reset unless there is really no other option.
PS The phone is working but in all functions but I can’t change things like the keyboard app which is a must for me.

Could it be Avast protecting the phone settings or if not could something else be doing it?uninstall avast and find out? and as Asyn said, post Android questions in Android forum section.
