I appreciate help detecting and stopping him.
Is it possible for someone to install monitoring software without having access to the cell phone? Just like if they had your email password, they can read your emails. Just wondering if you could help alleviate my fears. I had a stalking family member put spyware on my Android phone. No one has had any physical access since but are there any apps that could still be used as spyware in this case i. I restored factory settings but still had root access or would the factory restore have remove them?
It is normal that a factory reset did not remove root from your device. If you did a factory reset then chances are you most likely got rid of any commercial spyapps that he they may have installed. However, if they are particularly tech savvy, it is possible that someone could hide monitoring software in the root folder itself, which may have protected it from the factory reset.
There are lots of spyware can stalking target device without physical access the phone. The stalker can spy your phone with only the Apple ID. I am facing the same problem right now and lastly I choose to change my phone. Is there a way to put Spyware on a phone out of state? I ask because of issues with an ex when talking to my phone carrier they saw something that was not their app and said to call fraud?
Hi Christine, follow this guide for some steps to take in order to clean your phone: I got the s7 edge phone a few weeks ago, how do I tell if someone is tracking my phone? If it is being tracked how do I stop it? That does not sound like anything regarding phone monitoring. If your web browser is crashing, it would be a phone software problem.
Has someone but yourself had access to your phone, and the ability to unlock it in order to install monitoring software without your knowledge? Do you suspect someone in your family or close to you to be spying on you? There was an icon on the top left corner of my cell phone. It looked like a cell phone with a check on the bottom, right corner. Not sure if it was related to whatsapp only.
Something blinked very fast as well. I think it was orange or red in colour. Does it ring any bells? I found an app on my ihpone 6Plus that i have never seen or downloaded myself. I came accross it in my settings where all my apps were as it was never on my main screen where all my other apps are. Is there a way to find out who or when this app was first put on my phone?
I have a Samsung S7 and I am sure my wife has installed a spying software on it. I found an icon in the apps folder that was black with a zigzagging line. It said device control center. I clicked and it said I should put my email address and password to access the device control center. I tried my email address but it did not recognize it. However when i put my wifes e-mail address and clicked forgot password it said password sent to address. I asked my wife who denied receiving any e-mail. What made me suspicious was that the icon disappeared mysteriously.
Could it be that she deleted the monitoring software or has just hidden the icon. Any software that I can install to sweep my phone? Several months ago my husband and I got new laptops. I kept catching him up late at night on My laptop or messing with his phone. That laptop had nothing saved on it other than 2 photo sessions with clients but yet the memory was full.
Same thing goes for my Samsung Galaxy S 5….. How can I truly stop him from doing this? How is he doing this? Last week I noticed my texts were being received out of order, everything was running slower… then sure enough he comes at me with a text I know had been deleted. This is no way to live your life. I have been there, lived it. And if you are cheating, all the more reason to get out. It is not going to get better. Be strong and move along. You do not need or deserve to be treated like this. How can someone spy on my phone, track my location, listen to my conversations, see my contacts, text my contact as if it was me spoof texting and see my call logs, and even trigger my mic to hear my surroundings and camera to see whats near my phone?
All of the above along with some spoof texting has been going on. All passwords have been changed etc.. Crazy EX is able to do this with just my phone number it seems. I hope you can help. I need to know how its happening and find a way catch her and have evidence for the police. If you have changed ALL your passwords make sure you have changed your Wi-Fi password too as that is a possible form of attack. If you have the same sim card they may have cloned it in the past and that could be the reason but apart from that if you have changed your phone 3 times and they have been no where near it then your fine!
What all can someone do if they have access to your WIFI password and how would you detect anything that may be going on? This is not limited to the students chrome books. It pretty much says it can have access to email, texts, contacts ect. Now my question is, can they do that? I can understand the school issued laptops, but my personal device? What business is it of theirs what I have on my phone? Please let me know what you think.
Any comments are greatly appreciated. Disable your Wi-Fi and Data when you go there and it will be Impossible to access your phone! They can only monitor it if you connect to their server so as long as your not doing that you will be fine. Oh and if they access your personal accounts then that is an infringement of privacy no matter what they say! Make sure WiFi is off and stick to mobile data. When I answe, all I hear is static noise No one says nothing and then the call drops.
Can you explained this hopefully? I have a huawei p8 light can you tell me a effective way of how to detect these kind of apps , because i haven t noticed many of the signs you mentioned on my device?
A spy app was put on my phone. When I found out I Uninstalled immediately. Ever since the day I Uninstalled the app thetruthspy. Like I can call and hear people talking but they can not hear me. My android is not rooted. I am in desperate need of help and how to get my mic working again son people can hear me when I call them. Is there a way for someone to monitor my apps Facebook, Instagram, kick , chats, emails, eat from my Gallaxy 5 from a PC. Does any app work on a Sony Xperia E3.
It lets you monitor Facebook, WhatsApp, and Viber, but it lacks the ability to track emails. You are welcome Need to ask us anything about GuestSpy? My phone has been glitchy going to black screen and not wanting to reboot ect. Once installed, the app begins to collect information without ado. Every time he sends a text directly to the CEO about a progress of a project, the supervisor will hurriedly convene a meeting and discuss about the same issue and document it to appear that it came from her. Meaning the unheard message slides as though I were deleting the message, but message is still there. You can download it from any of the app stores.
I think my device is remotely hacked. Thanking you in advance. Is it possible for the Cellphone provider companies to detect if a cell phone is being spied, without the user asking them to investigate? Modern smart phones have many security features built in to ensure no-one can get access to your data except for you, including carriers and the manufacturers themselves!
Apple famously refused to unlock a device for the FBI. Excuse my ignorance on if spyware is or is not picked up as a virus. The only ad in Trivia was for Clash of Clans and no where near where I clicked. So, you were taken to CM when you just wanted to enjoy your turn playing the game?
Try this app and see whether anyone is spying or not. It keeps wanting you to down load more products. I reset my phone now it runs better. Hi Renee, I have used it and I know what you mean, but hey, you never know when they might actually offer something you actually want to try out, but I am glad that your phone is running better. N see now I have like five damn anti spy apps and none of them say anything is wrong but I damn near hit a ten for ten on that list I know my shit is being watched or monitor end … Ya you fuck off get a life..
Sorry bout that but idk iv used so many apps that say my shits good to go but its not. Lookout Security is great. I would know first hand. They informed me of a spy app put on my phone. It was the worst feeling ever. I know who did it. Zmana offers a two week free trial, I used them and they remotely connected to my phone and went through everything and found my spyware that no other app or company could find.
You have to email them and ask them to do it, it took a few days but they did it. But they dont control your life. Once your collected data is used against you directly…. I dont like the fact google gathers it, but im not looking over my shoulder for google cars either. When a person you see everyday gets that data, its a whole other thing. Its not paranoia if your right. That is a hell no one should have to go through. On top of that, the feeling may never go away once its known to be real. If its done by people you care about, you may never trust anyone again.
I only trust my dog. If it were not for him, i dont even know how i would cope. I just be sure to do right by him and he takes me out situations he senses are taking me to a bad mindset. It even appears he is misbehaving at times, even in my eyes, but usually he is just a step ahead and pulling me away from it.
Some spyware apps that show files in a file manager occasionally have a phone number or E-Mail that info is being sent to. It helped me to answer in a question in quora asked by someone. Thanks for this informative content http: Is there anywhere to send the phone that, for a fee, an expert could look and see where the info was being sent or how often or what spyware was installed and when? The spyinstall in this case was done in another country and I would like to know if it was there a month or 6?
I am sure I have several of these problems mentioned above. I also have 6gb of files I must keep for a project this fall and I have no idea if they are corrupt yet or not. Do you suggest backing up to cloud and to memory stick or just memory stick? When I do get around to look at the files, I will use an old pc, just in case the virus tries to mess with more of my work. Any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Hi judy i just read that you would not recommend cm or anything with cheetah apps I have heard this before so what apps would you recommend for a Samsung galaxy prevail?
To replace the cm antivirus junk cleaner etc please let me know thank you very much thanks for all the help guys have done. I have a android ZTE Paragon it has a 4. Hi Brandon, Have you tried a factory reset? If you do decide to do that, remember to backup your phone. My x has been doing this to my phone for years.
I have changed numbers many times. Is there a way to stop this. Hi Christy, Maybe some type of spy app was installed on your phone, that could be a possibility. Have you tried a factory reset? If you do try it, remember to back up your essentials. You cannot reuse your previous account. My boyfriend was able to force my Bluetooth and send a picture file that was infected. Looks like the NSA tuned in again. They probably know what I am having for dinner.
You can always try an anti-spy app like this one. Every cell phone has to periodically poll the cell tower to announce that it is still connected etc.
When you hear your speakers picking up the RFI from the phone doing this, it is fairly normal, if annoying. That said, if it is doing it often and no call or sms then it should be noticed. Thanks for adding on some handy information. My Samsung Galaxy Edge talk back feature is disabled. Tonight my phone started the microphone up. Hi Marie, That is odd that your phone starts up your microphone if the edge talk is disabled.
Have you had a recent update that could have activated it again? Check again if it is disabled, but if you suspect of spyware, you can always go for a factory reset that will leave your phone clean. If you do decide to reset it, make sure to read this articles first. My coworkers and I believe another coworker is recording our conversations with her cellphone. The other day, i picked up her phone to move it. Although the screen was black, there was a red dot blinking in the top left corner.
Is that proof of her behavior? She has some sort of LG Android phone. Is there any way to know for certain- besides unlocking her cellphone and looking through it?? Thank you very much! Hi Reen, How sad to hear about what you are going through. If I wanted to record someones conversation with my Samsung Galaxy I would use voice recorder and I tried it out and waited for the screen to go black. At least on my phone a blue light was constantly on, but maybe the LG phone show a red light when the voice recorder is on.
My phone does flash a red light when the battery is low. Her behavior is suspicious though, I mean where she always puts her phone. I would directly ask her. Please let me know what happens. Many of the permissions that you grant to an app, so you may use the app, allow the app to turn on camera and microphone randomly to see what your up to. On my phone when the screen is blank but the blue light blinks means a recording is taking place. Big brother and little brother are always watching- remember that. Hi Rechelle, Unfortunately in order to use apps we need to give them those permission and just cross our fingers that we are not being spied on, and if were are we might never know or might not be able to do anything.
We are obviously not alone, ha ha.
Person who wants to track my phone needs my phone to get a spy app or he can get it somewhere from internet just writing down my number? Hi Kristina, All spy apps have to be installed onto the target smartphone or tablet. This is one of the worse experiences of my life. I lost more than my privacy, I lost a person I trusted the most. We used the machine at the store to transfer my contacts. Hi Isa, It is really unfortunate to hear about what you are going through and I hope that things get better soon, I really do.
When I said super spy, I meant government level stuff. With what you have said I think you have done enough to start fresh. The data can be searched and filtered by anyone with an account at this site, and then used for illegal acts. Is that what this above quote is saying? Hi Isa, Yes, I understood the exact same thing you did. If you know that you phone has been infected with this software, Have you tried a factory reset?
Hi I was so happy when I seen your post. He too is an IT and has been for over 30 yrs. He desire s to be the TOP at all He does. And I also seen that same sight saying you only need a pick up when they dial your number. Bless you for your help …. These are scary should be illegal things going on …such an invasion of security an privacy ….
Hugs to you an IS A as well. She even accessed my friends details by only knowing her first name and address and got her work mobile number! Oh and just a note.. Hi Anon, Wow, she was able to do all of that? What did your friend do to end this or is it still going on? Then obviously there are a lot of super spies out there. What about the spy app they have out that steal all your information out of your wallet?
Every time he sends a text directly to the CEO about a progress of a project, the supervisor will hurriedly convene a meeting and discuss about the same issue and document it to appear that it came from her. Could the supervisor be spying?
How will my friend know this for sure — i. Hi Joddy, That is some suspicious behavior and if that happened to me I would be thinking the same thing. Your friend can try a factory reset to clear his or her phone of any spyware that may have been installed or your friend can try anti spy apps on Google Play. For example, there is Anti Spy Mobile Free. Hope this helps and please let me know what happens. After installing the Anti spy app you recommended Anti spy mobile free it returned 3 warnings on scanning: Please interpret this, and let me know which ones should be uninstalled?
Hi Joddy, Welcome back! Let me look into it and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I think you mean Palmchat, not Palmchart. I would uninstall this immediately! Get rid of it or you WILL have problems! Kind of scary if you think about it, right? What is your suggestion for junk cleanup. My phone has been glitchy going to black screen and not wanting to reboot ect.
