Deactivate sony enterprise service in security->device administrator

I had deactivated enterprise service in device administrator and found that it become activated after a few hours. This did not happen in the previous firmware but happened after recent update. The enterprise service drains battery. Sony, kindly explain why is the service automatically activated! It will be good if the service can be disabled. Consumer don't need this service, only corporate environment does.

I got the same problem.

It is terrible annoying.

On my phone, it is activated as device administrator after each restart.

I am using Kaspersky as my device administrator, and for Kaspersky to be able to delete my device or lock it, if lost or stolen, it needs to be the only administrator.

So when enterprise service activates it self as administrator at a restart, means that my security in case of stolen or lost telephone, is none excistent.

Really terrible Sony.. Please find a solution!!!

It even activates it self as administrator, even though I disabled enterprise service it in the apps menu.

Let me be the one, who decides which device administrators i want, and not the phone!

A thing like this, if it cannot be fixed, will be what prevents me from buying a Sony phone next time.

I agree!!

I also deep searched the web about Device Administrators on Xperia Phones and I couldn't find any information.

Do you know any document that provides full explanation about this? Why am tide to Enterprise Service? What will change if I add Configuration Agent as device administrator?

Also very important: Why does disabling Device Administrators do trigger some Apps to get activated again???

There is a way to remove device administrators on xperia devices (see 3rd post):
