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.

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.

[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. Your replies were 100% worthless, unless you are replying to someone with helpful information you shouldn't reply at all that just makes you look worse people asking dumb questions. 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.

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....

Remarqued the same thing.
And the most curious is not that he had visited a lot of profiles (he does what he wants OR more likely he is a bot), but that without any post (so no reason a priori to check his profile) his profile has more than 11 000 visites
(Yep I'm adding somes with this link, and somes of us are curious, but this number seems very hight though)

Probably an Apple developer looking for ideas to steal.

He (she?) says he's a tech blogger. Maybe he just lurks around for good stories?

Who the fuk in Nirose??

Think about it, guys...
He(or she)'s got to be either a Mod or a troll/flamer that uses "nirose" as a throwaway account so he can check you out without you being able to link his curiosity to any "regular" user. So, it could be anyone, really: the fact that he has zero posts only means that he does all of his/her "real postings" under the true account.
(At least, that's my interpretation of the whole thing.)

ICS Carrier IQ Substitute

I could be wrong, but it looks like Sprint/Samsung have put a diagnostic app back in (similar to carrier IQ). Not sure where it is in the app settings, but you can opt out in the about phone settings. Hopefully in the actual eventual ota they let the user choose on first boot instead.
FB17 ICS version

I think this is their way of using Carrier IQ and the average user wont even think about what it is or disabling it so they win either way.

If you're referring to com.android.samsungtest.SlateTest, then no it is not CarrierIQ in any form. Slate is a diagnostics tool that we service centers run that tests the radios and basic functions of the phone.

I am referring to the consumer facing diagnostics tool that comes activated in the fb17 about phone settings. It appears not to be related to the fact that it is a dev build.

I know they announced work with Smith Micro, but I think that is only for data offloading, although Smith Micro does something very similar to Carrier IQ.
It is possible that at some point they may also go back to Carrier IQ as well. I think that would take place once all the lawsuits and questions regarding the EULA etc have been answered.

Just remember however this is a TEST build. right now Samsung is trying to see where things are going wrong as well as Sprint since they are most likely testing this on their network as well. If it's still there come OTA then it's something to worry about but till that point and time it would be nice to help samsung try and fix their issues.

I'd have to agree with you. While I am completely against spying of any sort without my input, this is a test build. This isn't a required update, nobody is forcing it down anyones throat. Everyone running it choose to install it. It's great that people are keeping a close eye on the movements of these companies but until there is legitimate cause for concern ie. an official release, nobody should get up in arms about this.

eh I'm here or there with that part right now. My reason is this with the builds being released (I'm sure some Sprint employees are using the build with devices in a test center) this could very well be to cover Sprints and samsungs butt if someone does see this app installed and it lets them know the reason for it as well. I do agree with you I don't like this stuff on my phone when it comes to an official release however right now most people (I myself till I went back to a Stock rom) were running an Alpha that does have issues so sending the data to Samsung to help them I don't see a problem with as it could work out well for us in the long run with a much better OTA release.

i care more about freeing up RAM (thanks to the commenter that has killed it with no side effects)
