How? Not for me thank god. But, I used to think it was fake. I probably rooted/fixed 100 phones this week. And, I saw it today on a friends phone. He's on probation and doesn't need that

Have you tried using titanium backup or root explorer to delete it

That's a great idea. Thank you for your response. Totally worked. One more question, though.
It seems to get installed when you get a weird phone call. I already blocked unknown calls and a few likely suspects. Is there something more I can do. Like make it so only his contacts can call him?

where on phone did you see it? using root explorer or something? always thought was untraceable once installed..would be nice to know to look
Well best thing you can use is root call blocker, it works best but its paid app. Has that feature to just have calls from contacts. Also has reject too that works better than the built-in one..

might wanna tell "buddy" that if he got cases big enough for cops to tap his phones he might wanna switch to something other than his personal cell to conduct business or if it might just be wifey keeping tabs to make sure he aint banging the next new thing then he might wanna do the same because she can always order an in depth statement on calls and texts.... just saying
What? What's this about an app (or something) being installed from just receiving a phone call?
I'm no where near an expert or a dev but I never heard of anything like this. Unless the phone was already infected PRIOR receiving the 'weird' phone call.
Edit: OK.. I just Googled it, and sure enough it MUST be installed first. There are 2 versions, 1 - the LITE version can be installed on any android phone, but doest intercept live calls (and other things). 2 - the OMNI version requires a rooted phone, and you can intercept live phone calls and listen in.

I know there are several apps on the market that will help you find a lost phone. The wife really needs one and I'd appreciate suggestions. I am somewhat concerned about potential security issues and whether these apps require GPS to be left on all the time.
Tks
Personally I use lookout, but they also have an app that can be used even if your phone is already lost called plan b

If your rooted and all that good stuff you should know how easy it is to just go into recovery and wipe everything. Sorry to say the driver has a new toy. He can't see your stuff tho if that's what you care about. And your pics are exposed as well since they are most likely on your sdcard.

Doubt the driver will know how to do that, anyways unless you had an app like Where's my Droid or something similar to that, you are pretty screwed. Unless the driver is a nice guy and returns it

If you have LookOut security
If you have installed something like lookout security/virus scan on the device (even the free version), you can locate the device and see it on a GPS map from their website sign in page. Also, you can set an alarm (annoying sound) to go off on the phone; nice feature...lets the person know you can tract the phone.
I'm sure (as other's have mentioned) there are other apps that do the same thing...maybe you had a Google Latitude account and you had it set up?? that would work also.
Good Luck, sorry to hear what happened to you...it sucks, I know how you feel!
Last night i decided to odin to stock Jb because I had read that you should do this to ensure all partitions were flashed. I had already flashed new frosty rom with official jb base and everything was fine, but now for some strange reason my phone will not call my wife. As great as this sounds it is a problem as I do need to call her from time to time. She is not on the blocked call list and I have tried 2 different roms, frosty and infamous and both have the same result. It will start the call and get to half a ring and then hang up. I have wiped and re- wiped( getting sore from wiping so much) sorry couldn't resist. Any one have a clue how to fix. I have deleted her as a contact and tried dialing direct and nothing works.
Please help

I wish she did block me then she wouldn't complain about me not calling her.
I did odin back to JB stock with no root. And did a reset. First time I've had a phone without root for more then a few hours.
I went to tmobile and got new sim and still same problem. I can call her if I dial *67 first but dont want to do that.
Going to try to wipe her (my old) GS2 and see if that fixes the issue.

Some phones can set numbers to be blocked (accidentally) if you hold the end call bottun it can set that number to be blocked... check to see if she did block you...

guys this is an iphone feature and before you go haters its really cool. I usually have my phone volume down and lay it on its screen. so i miss a lot of calls. My cousin's iphone flash everytime he have a notification or a phone call and it looks really cool. I know this will probably drain your battery but its someone choice to choose this feature or not
I've searched around cause I do the same with silent and phone facing down... I have yet to find anything.

Why not just turn the phone over and use the built-in LED notification on the front ? You can even configure different colours for different things.

Reminds me of the "whos on first" routine :silly:
Hello,
Since flashing most recent ROM, I have noticed 5 "Google" purchases, for Apps and 1 other unknown Google charge. These apps, etc. are not familiar to me, nor have any relevance to any past purchased apps or recent app searches in Play.
I have reason to believe it's directly related to the ROM, as there is particular identifying information included in the statement.
I'll be doing the obvious, filing a claim, yada yada bullshi*.
Has anyone else had this happen? Not cool.
Thanks,

Hey Epic,
To be honest I've seen surprising things in account data for both Lifeless and CM. I've noticed new card numbers, etc. After flashing. I paid no mind thinking it may have been a devs card number somehow merging with my account, and quickly deleted. However, it may be a Google account hack.
Either way, it may be something to confirm, if this type of information is capable of spreading accidentally in development.

you havent posted your EFS anywhere online have you? If your efs falls into the wrong hands people can "clone your phone" and make purchases... altho those would be carrier purchases and I believe are charged to your monthly bill.
as the charge on your sprint bill... or an entirely separate google invoice?
