PHABLET HELP

PHABLET BEARTAB MISBEHAVES ONLY WITH SIM CARD INSIDE

I have a phablet BEARTAB (chinese brand) which was working fine for awhile. The manufacturer of the product had the software designed to automatically download various games, props, apps etc... Very annoying! And when I would uninstall or delete these automated new apps the phablet began to go nuts! For example, I would be on google and then it would automatically revert me to the home page of my tablet and I would have to re-enter google etc.... Or be playing a game and it would launch me out onto the home page of my tablet or simply reboot the phablet. And the other is, the battery wont hold juice, or appears not to. Of course this is a sign of a virus. The funny thing is, it WORKS FINE WITHOUT THE PHONE CHIP SIM CARD inside it. I am able to stay on the internet with no interruptions, or play a game til the end and the battery holds the juice. What could be causing my phablet to behave this way? What is the solution to this problem? I would like to be able to use my phablet with the SIM CARD.
 
Since your online access when working only on WiFi is OK but when there's cellular connectivity involved you're seeing those problems, this would indicate an issue with whichever cellular service you're using. (A SIM card only enables cellular, it has no effect in any way with WiFi).
Which carrier are you using?

If switching carriers isn't an option, install a firewall app like NoRoot Data Firewall:

A firewall app will allow you granular control of both the WiFi and mobile data (cellular) connections of your apps. For the apps you're seeing this problem with, leave the WiFi connectivity enabled and block the cellular connectivity.
