After surfing the web a bit, I came across a few notorious Android Spy Software applications that could run in your background without you knowing. It is not visible and cannot be detected. I have read that that the only way to eliminate and uninstall the program is through a re-installation of the operating system. With that said, I have been suspicious of my brother for installing this on my HTC EVO. I let him toy with my phone while I showered without thinking of the repercussions for 5-7 minutes.
As bad as it sounds, he is the type that likes to be in control of electronics so that if things get a turn for the worst in our brotherly relationship, he can rely on electronic controls to do any type of damage (banking information, passwords, etc.).
I just spoke with a worker at a Sprint repair store right before they closed for the day and I'm wondering if Sprint can do an OS re-install. Also, is the OS re-install safe to do (does it truly keep the phone factory and completely in-tact)? Is it common?
Tell me if I need to clarify more.
just do a factory reset, it wipes everything.
That was my initial route to deal with this issue (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset), unless there was another way to actually hard reset the phone. I'd be glad to know if there was.
The thing about Android Spy Software is that it is untraceable and uninstallable unless the OS is re-installed. Soft resetting the phone will not resolve the issue.
Any other ideas? And, is there a way to hard reset the phone?

unless you rooted your phone and the software is embeding it's self in part of the nand(unlikely and not possible without root(i think)), nothing will survive a factory reset. If you really want to wipe it then just root and install a custom rom, then lock your phone lol. Also, no offence, but your brother sounds like a real a$$hat.

That is the way to hard reset the phone. The only thing I think it doesn't wipe is the SD card, so I would wipe that, then the phone, you know how to format the sd card with windows?
There's no rooting of my phone. I came across the article: "How To Detect Android Spyware | 5 Ways To Detect Android Spyware" a few hours ago and it stated near the end,
"So what can you do if you think you have Android spy software on your phone? The only way to remove the software is to reinstall the operating system. This can be done at the place of purchase. Just take it in and tell them that you think someone has installed Android spyware on your phone, so you would like to reinstall the OS.
One thing I'd like to point out is that the above list represents only the most common signs that someone might have installed Android spyware on your phone. The problem is that you cannot be 100% sure either way, because everyone uses their cell phone differently. The only way to know 100% that your cell phone is free of Android spy software, is to make sure that you keep it close to you at all times, use a phone lock that requires a PIN number, and closely monitor your cell phone for any unusual behavior."
I'm not sure if I can post links, but if you google the article title I stated, you can find it. I wanted some advanced inputs from android developers' points of view.

I'd be happy to know.
I know indeed know how to wipe my SD card using Windows. Correct me if I'm wrong: Start > My Computer > *right-click SD card* > Format..
What's the instructions to hard resetting the android device, if you don't mind me asking?

Not gonna lie you sound SUPER paranoid but like everyone else stated if you do a factory wipe it will get rid of anything or if you are THAT worried download a RUU its the same thing sprint would do while laughing at your paranoid ass in the back room

It all started back when we were children emerging into teens. My brother started with Neopets and slowly began scamming kids of their neopoints through false logins and other obvious ploys to trick children. As we entered high school, he and his friend began getting intrigued with developing viruses and spyware as a game to trick one another into falling into each others' traps and obtain each other's data. Me and my brother were on bad terms several times before due to his state-of-mind that being a bigger brother means being able to have full control of the younger siblings' lives, including me and my sister. He began restricting access to general surfing, such as Digg, Reddit, and social networking sites in general. Then, my brother began loosening up and allowing for it, but told us that he would keep keylogs going through router control and had access to login informations as well as chat histories with local friends.
Perhaps, I am being paranoid. I don't know.

The site is an attempt to scare you and sell you their Mobile Spy software, sounds like it worked.
That's pretty intense lol.
I would whack my brother over the head with a crowbar if he ****ed with my privacy.
My theoretical brother, that is
You haven't a thing to worry about.. Just make sure "Install from unknown sources" isn't checked and I highly doubt you'll ever have a problem..

Thanks for empathizing.
After I realized of any theoretical repercussions of allowing him access to my phone for a few minutes while I was in the shower, I immediately went and did a factory data reset, which I believe to be a hard reset.
I also made sure the "Install from unknown sources" was always unchecked.
Me and my brother previously had bad blood. His intentions of being controlling have put his past girlfriends in a bad state of mind. Recently, he has made one of his past girlfriends (at the moment, he was dating her), re-surface her history of self-mutilation. He made her move from Iowa (I think) to live closer to him near our university. She was too late to enroll and after a few months of being with him, she got scared of his controlling attitude and uncontrollable fits of rage and outlashes. She later on during the relationship hid under beds instead of sleeping on them and kept cutting her arm and fingers. Her mother was so outraged that she made a plane ride from Iowa to Kansas just to take her back and my brother hid himself the day she arrived. He was scared of her mother and what would happen if she got her fingers on him.

The site was for spyware (Android Spy Software), not against spyware. They're trying to sell it in order to install the application and spy on others without their knowing. My concern is to remove it, so there's no incentive for me to buy their product as it would not benefit my case.
girl knows how to write, felt like i was watching a lifetime movie.. uhh, not that ive ever seen one since im a pretty hardcore dude
Indeed...half expecting something needing moderated shortly. Good thing the EVO can second as a mirror to see who is sneaking up behind you.

I'm a guy, fyi. I'll take that as a compliment, I guess?
it can be in other partitions other than data
i have spyware on my phone AND computer from my ex and of course my phone was rooted so she got it in there DEEEEP in my /dev folder and it is EVERYWHERE. im pretty screwed. time for new phone and computer.. she also managed to get a key logger on my touchscreen phone.. weird huh
ok recently when im using my evo, and i do some multitasking, the freaking phone keeps turning off and restarts itself, at the beggining i thought ok maybe it frost or something, but now every other day im using it and im in the internet and facebook and other apps, it freezes for a bit and restarts itself. which is annnnoyyyying me cuz i loose everything i was doinggggg....ANY SOLUTIONS WHATS THE PROBLEM, IS IT THE PHONE???
Are u rooted.... if u are have u tried other roms with multiple wipes before the flash? Also my old evo did that after i rooted it and i could not find a fix but luckily i broke the screen an got a new one that dosent have that issue!
i forgot to ask are u saying a full reboot or just to the boot screen?
My first guess would be that you deleted something that the system needs to run. I believe you cannot delete friendstream, calender, etc some stupid apps that you might believe are completely useless but somehow HTC integrated them into the system as necessary system files.
Also did you fiddle with your SetCPU or kernals? Using setcpu to alter your CPU frequency can result in system crashes and different kernals have different set vcores. If the vcore is too low for your chip it does not have enough juice to operate properly and therefore crashes.
If you are stock then I'm not sure what it could be...
no this phone is not rooted (itz cuz i dont know how too lol), and its exactly how it came when i first got it,
the only things im running is
launcher pro plus as my default launcher. and just normal widgets like fancy widget and custom icons nothing major.
everything works perfect, but it keeps restart itself after a do alot of multitasking, cuz usually a app will get the "Force close" when its not working but for me it just freezes and restart itself , it goes to the "Sprint logo & 4g start up" just like how it would do when you first start your phone, the only thing is doesnt do is that it doesnt shot the HTC EVO 4G IN THE BEGGINING, JUST THE SPRINT AND 4G LOGO, than everything reloads itself on the screen.
and it was like this before u switched to the new launcher?
Interesting... Have you scanned your phone for any malware? Perhaps there is something there that should not be.
Here is what I would do:
Factory reset and run the phone stock without any apps for a day. If you still have issues - switch phones ASAP.
If you do not have issues after the reset, start installing one app at a time till you find the one that is buggy.
Hope this helps.

yes, i install and uninstall the launcher and did a factory reset to the phone and it still the same way.. just seeing if other ppl have had this problem, if its the phone itself or the sprint service connection.
I'm really surprised your phone is not rooted. I was going to guess you were OC'd just a little too high. My Dad had similar problems with his unrooted EVO before the 2.2 update. I never narrowed it down but I think it was a problem with Beautiful Widgets. I loaded a bunch of non-root apps on his phone (LP, handcent, BW, etc.), trying to set him up, and he was plagued with reboots so he wiped it all and went back to 100% stock. I still can't convince him to root.

Its a combination of things really.
1) HTC is not known for having the best build quality. Motorola, for example, is light years ahead.
2) The Android marketplace is not regulated like the Appstore. You will frequently get force closed apps because 1) Apps are regulated by the devs, not Google and 2) there is just a huge abundance of Android phones with many differences between them.
Your phone should not be resetting itself. A force close is different than a reboot. I would call HTC/Sprint and ask for a different phone. Might want to add the fact that none of your friends Evos do this so it is singled out to yours specifically.
thanks, i might just do that but all sprint ever freaking does is that they gonna do a reset of the phone and i already did that, I KNOW WHAT IM DOING WITH MY PHONE,
and it would be nice to learn how to root, cuz i been thinking of doing for a whileeee after 2.2 update...and see if i can fix this problem.

My 2 cents:
Don't root with a problem already present. 99% of the members here will not be able to help you with any of the issues you might run into. Only the developers will be able to help with real issues. That being said, since you already have a problem the worst thing you can do is void your warranty by rooting.

This is not accurate..
80% of the members here ARE able to help, but 90% of those members will choose not to if you are rude and disrespectful like some other people choose to be.
Rooting your phone may very well fix your problems.
It may not help at all, but many of the roms available are far more stable than stock.
Uninstall all of your non-stock apps and see if the problem persists. If it does not then you know it was a software problem and you can either take the plunge and root and go from there, or reinstall your apps one by one and see when you start having problems again. If you uninstall all non-stock apps and you still have issues then you may have a hardware problem in which case you should try to get your ohone replaced especially if you are still in your 30 days.
Keep in mind that even if you root and technically void your warranty a) your warranty being void is at the discretion of the CS rep you talk to and b) rooting does NOT void your insurance and your insurance covers manufacturing defects at no cost to you.
Try to learn some basic troubleshooting habits and avoid things like: homophobic comments, advising members to kill themselves, excessive swearing, calling people trolls when you are clearly being a troll yourself, and you will get all the advice you ask for.
Unrevoked has been pulled temporarily for some bugfixing so rooting 2.2 is actually not possible right now until they re-release it, or you find a copy of Unrevoked 3 somewhere (which is a bad idea, only use an official copy made available by the Unrevoked team) so take some time to read up, ask questions and understand some of the fundamentals of what you are getting into before you do something like break your wifi and not realize it's an easy fix then come on here and freak out.
Rooting is intimidating before you do it the first few times, but if you follow the guides to the letter and stay calm you'll be just fine. Just don't forget the staying calm part. There isn't much you can do to your phone that is irreversible, it's just a matter of preparing for potential problems and knowing what steps to take to recover from them.
If you are remotely inclined to learn how to root your phone then do it!! But only if you have enough time to devote to what will soon become your new hobby/obsession, it's that much fun

Look in a mirror.
No offense, but why is this still an issue? If OP did a factory reset, which is assumed to bring the phone back to a clean stock, and this problem still persists then the obvious solution would be to get a replacement. Yes, a replacement could take some time to arrive, but if this is a hardware issue, any amount of troubleshooting on the software side wouldn't matter. Then again, maybe you have a faulty micro-sd card and could be simple as swapping for a new one. Anyways, if you did a MSL/factory reset to a clean slate and your phone still intermittenly reboots, go get a new one. Good luck.

I think what he meant was weather or not this still happens without installing launcherpro at all, when you're just running the default launcher. Also, does it still happen if you remove/uninstall all of your widgets/apps? If yes, and this still happens with no widgets running, and no apps installed, you may want to talk to Sprint about an exchange.

So I've had this problem as far back as I've been trying the various builds of xdandroid where if my T-mobile TP2 is in full sleep and it receives a call it fails to wake properly causing it to lose the ability to accept or make calls until rebooted. It's been there regardless of build version, ril version, rootfs version, and kernel version. Pretty much the only thing I haven't tried is changing the radio rom since I figure that shouldn't be where the problem lies since I'm using the same radio version as the guy who designed the current ril according to his XDA profile.
I've tried dealing with the xdandroid guys directly but they refuse to accept it's a problem with their code instead of my phone despite the fact everything else the should work in android works flawless and no such problem exists in Winmo. So I come to you the public of the XDA forums does anyone else have this problem with this model of TP2 so I can point out it's not my phone but in fact an issue with their code. I've also tried contacting highlandsun directly via email and PM with no response.
Oh and before anyone suggests sending them log dumps I did that. I even pointed out to them exactly where the ril fails during the incoming call and how when I attempt to make outgoing calls before a reboot how the oncreate function for the new call never finishes because the ril has gone screwy.
If you know where the issue is occurring, then why not fix it?
You say you've sent logs, yet you don't attach them here.
You say you know where the issue occurs, but don't document it here, for everyone...?
If you honestly feel there's an issue with the code (which we all know there are still many) then please, submit a patch. Improvements are always welcome, there's GIT repo's which you can make merge requests and everything.
This also belongs in the Android section, but it seems you don't have enough posts to post in that section...

First of all I'm not looking for help fixing the problem from the forum at large. I'm looking for additional people with the error in order to prove it's not unique to my phone, something that you personally tried to claim on the bug tracker.
Second I know enough to be able to diagnose where the problem lies but unfortunately cell phones aren't my specialty so I have neither the knowledge of the android source code nor the code for interacting with cell phone hardware necessary to fix it or else I would have long before approaching the team with the problem. I figured giving you guys all the necessary details on the issue including all the dumps would have been enough to get it fixed in a time frame faster then I could have done it myself since you already know the system quite well but instead you blew off the issue claiming that since it doesn't happen to all Rhodium 210's it can't be a problem with the code and it must be my phone.
If you'd like me to resubmit the bug to the bug tracker I can do so with a fresh set of logcats and dmesg with the problem spots highlighted to make them easy to find along with any other details you might need about firmware versions, running software and condition under which android was launched since we both know having certain things on in Winmo will effect how things run in android.

Pretty hard to fix an issue that only you can reproduce.
hyc hasn't had much time at all for XDAndroid lately. C'est la vie. He is the best one to look at it, but PMing him about the problem over and over isn't going to do any good. The bug you already submitted is fine. I don't know what else to tell you other than good luck.

Hence why I'm looking for more people with the problem. Once I find them then I can start searching for commonalities to help make it easier to fix by ruling out causes or if lucky find a specific trigger such as how having bluetooth on in Winmo will cause android not to go into full sleep.
Also only tried both once so as not to needless fill up his inbox. I figured he'll read one or the other eventually unless he's prone to deleting things without reading them.

i find this on google, i think solve the problem, but i'm a android newbie ^^
This same thing was happening to me as well, up until a week ago. I had the latest incremental updates on FRX 7.1 , AT&T TILT 2 (Rhodium 300).
In addition, I was also seeing very bad performance lag, freezes, often eventually leading up to a reboot, and other issues which I chalked up to being I/O related whenever more than 3 or 4 large programs were running at once (such as Facebook, Google Maps, Browser, and Market 3.0).
After doing some research, I found out that my PNY 16GB Class10 MicroSD Card may be to blame since Class 10 cards (and maybe Class 6) have built-in hardware read-ahead, and doing any kind of Random Access I/O on them like these Android builds is less than ideal...
So I ditched the Class 10 card (gave it to my wife to use on her BB Torch) went up to Walmart and bought the Class4 Sandisk for only $29, formatted it in the same way with the HP USB FW format Tool using the card's native cluster size (32K), copied all files over as-is and sure enough using, the exact same installation, every last stability and performance issue has completely gone away. Froyo has been running rock-solid for three days now, and the call-answer bug isn't happening anymore either!
it's been almost 4 days now
everything on the phone runs great until i restore that mysterious app from backup.
problem is having over 500+ apps/games makes it extremely difficult to pin point which particular app is causing the hot reboot
hot reboot = not full reboot, it just crashes everything and reload the OS
my current suspect some of the many plug ins for Go Launcher EX or IM+
Go Launcher EX runs great on the phone, but then once i restore all those plug ins, it appears to cause the problem
same with IM+
there are other apps i suspect as well like SD card speed increase, or Dual USB
or if not something to do with the Keyboard
at one point the keyboard selection got locked out, and i was unable to choose another keyboard or language
anyways... back to the haystack to find the needle...
Have you tried hooking it up to adb and running a logcat on that bad boy?
Edit: If you run logcat and reproduce the hot-reboot it may show you what is causing the problem. And if that doesn't work there is also a command you can call to get the last kernel message before the reboot. I don't remember what that's called though. Kmsg I think, idk.

That kinda makes sense as to why you thought it was music then but why im+?
-We do what we must because we can. For the good of all us, except the ones who are dead.-
both of them were caught doing something and then crashing everytime it happened
in the end it was because both were trying load up stuff from the SD card which was being hogged by the media scanner, and apparently that didn't share well among those apps and the system itself, and kaboom!
I recently read a post, I don't know where now, but it had to do with a hidden Trojan/malware. That was started in 2013... After reading, thinking back to when this really started affecting me Feb,26, 2015. I noticed some strange things mentioned in my service log from around that date. The post mentioned how it places a high tracker in some obscure app. Unfortunately I got the bug, BAD!!! So not knowing about this until I made it worse by plugging my phone into my computer... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. My everything is screwed now. My HTC one m7, is the only device I can use period, now. I tried to root, and couldn't. Then downloaded another root checker, and it said my device was already rooted. Is there anything I can do(on my knees begging). This has to be the worst inter-web experience ever. Any and all ideas, advice, similar problems, links, and time are greatly appreciated. Thank you
are you asking for help with the phone or your pc?

My phone is the only thing I can use... I have to install Windows again on my lap top... I have a new disc and what not. I'm just worried that he'll just take that over as well.. so phone, but I could use some tips in how to do it for the pc as well and if I'll ever be able to get my email. With my last ten years if web activity, Xbox one and everything else I had.... So pissed
for the phone, i recommend an ruu. in case that bug is somewhere on the phone waiting for another PC victim. It sucks that you will lose everything but its hard to figure out what file is infected and if you restore any file after format you run the chance of it happening again
as for the pc. if you can reboot to safe mode you can use a tool called Combofix. it will sometimes fix problems due to worms or viruses. I've used it many of times i cant fix it manually.
