maybe your just lonely jk. i think this might be an issue with your carrier. you should contact them

Do you have a password set on your voicemail? If you don't have a password, somebody using a spoof card or other caller id spoof program can call your phone, spoofing your MSISDN (your phone number) and they will be able to check your voicemail.
Got any crazy ex's floating out there? Any News of the World reporters been sniffing around?

Privacy screen

Sorry if this is a re-post, search is acting funny, anyone have any of the privacy screens? Which ones allow the 4 buttons to work properly? I need to keep my gf from looking over my shoulder when I'm texting.

lol at keeping it from your girlfriend. but i haven't heard much of any talk about privacy screens.
i'm interested in trying the clarivue one tho.

I read about one on amazon thats too thick for buttons to work, the screens so big people can probably see it from the other side of the room

Wow, bunch of dr phils, and y'all don't even know me, 3 years deep and I haven't done anything to violate her trust, I just don't like anyone in my business. But y'all are the xda relationship team, so I guess if I don't want her looking at what I text I'm obviously wrong. Y'all must be girls too.

If you want replies to focus on the subject at hand, then don't invite unwanted commentary by including unnecessary details or "jokes". As for your question, I've never tested any privacy screens myself, but you can check out 3M's version at shop3m.com/98044049512.html. Also, you can always trim the privacy screen so that it leaves the capacitative buttons uncovered.
Wow, I really didn't see in the rules where it said no jokes, sorry for having a sense of humor, but alreast you gave an on topic answer, but ill be sure in the future to alreast let people know in the title that my post may contain jokes.

turn G2 in to gamepad / keyboard via usb?

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was away to turn your G2 phone in to a Keyboard/Game pad through USB i saw one app on the market but it was through wifi and with your touch screen is there a possible way to do this?
There was a Plugin for psp with its CFW to do this but i would love to do this with my phone with its keyboard.
Why? That just doesn't sound all too fun

[Q] spy apps/software??

I know similar questions have been asked before and information won't be easy to obtain from anyone regarding this but I know so many poeple have the knowledge to answer. I obviously don't want to use a subscription service but here is my dilemma.
Yes I am trying to spy, however I own both devices and pay for the entire bill just granting the phone for use as is to my current girlfriend, I'm not accusing her of cheating however she is hiding something and its all within the texts she deletes, those texts are transmitted to and from the device I allow her to use, just looking for any options I have aside from shelling out hundreds or thousands on something that can be easily accomplished, however if the information is sensitive I don't want it uploaded to the web, just more of a forward type of thing I suppose but definately hidden from her view, she isn't tech savvy, but our evos are both rooted and custom Rom etc. If anyone could help me with this, that would be super. App / software / source / service doesn't matter to me.
cool story bro, get a new girlfriend and leave the spying to the spy's. if you do not trust her, let her go.

To everyone that replied except for don.

And thanks to you don I will check that out. And if anyone else has anything useful but don't want to share it publicly feel free to message by email I look forward to hearing.
if somehow...
you could tap into carrier IQ! Sorry bro...had to! I would also use sms control...neat little tool.
If you have access to the gmail account that is used with the phone you could install Google Voice. I noticed the other day that it saves a copy of my texts even though I had flashed multiple Roms since.

Those replies were good.
First, you need to get help with your own problems of control and paranoia and forget about attempting illegal and immoral invasions of privacy.
Second, you should let that girl go. One day you might be healthy enough for an adult relationship, but not today.

Hit the nail on the head. If you know she is cheating get rid of her. Why would you want to put yourself through that BS only to get mad at her for something you already know. Once a cheat always a cheat. What are you going to do anyways after you confirm and confront?

Could he? He does own the phones and the contract is in his name. Should be able to do whatever he wants with the phone he's "lent" out, right?
A buddy of mine suspected his wife was cheating and she wouldn't admit to it. He decided to sift through her emails. He found she was, had proof, divorced her and is now happily married to a faithful woman. Just sayin.....had he not done that he would be far worse off. There's definately better ways to do it.....but every relationship and every person is different right?
That's weird, I thought he was asking for help with finding an app. Guess I missed the part where he asked for a bunch of relationship advice....

Why did I just find out our phone has screenshot capabilities?

After having this phone for over a year, I just found out wii can take screenshots stock, no root. Hold Power and Home. Yes Home, the capacitive button. LoL!! It takes screenshots. Who knew this!? I was not made aware. I've been using ShootMe thinking I never had the functionality. LoL!!

Well... I never knew you could press Power and Home to take screenshots. In AOSP ROMs, they usually had the functionality added. If they didn't, or I was running a TouchWiz ROM, I would use ShootMe.
Now I'm finding out that I could do this stock. So I don't need ShootMe anymore. The reason this got to me more than usual was because I use SwipePad and one of my ports (as it's called in SwipePad) is ShootMe. So I can go take a screenshot without leaving the app. LoL!! This allows me to get rid of a port for a more useful app.
Android has spoiled me. I'm complaining about something small like that.
