[Q] Please HELP!!!! EVO Dilemma

I just broke up with my girlfriend last wednesday and I think she installed spy software on my evo. She was reciting conversations I was having with my friends about her "word for word". I did a factory reset and thought all my problems were solved, she then on thursday continued as if I didn't reset. I reset multiple times on friday morning as well as formatted the sd card outside of the phone before docking it back in the phone. She busted me out again Saturday about conversations I had Friday night. "Word For Word!!!" Even after I rooted my phone friday night. I don't get it! I need help please.
I know there are sites out there like:
Mobispy.com
Mobistealth.com
Androidspysoftware.com
How can I search and remove this crap. I'm about to fry my phone so I can get another clean phone!
Please help!

In the wrong section. But this is interesting, never heard of something like this before.
Trolled?

Sure she hasn't planted a bug on you?

Not really the right forum, but aside from that, time to change the password to your email account.
Are you using Gmail? Chatting w/ ppl using Gtalk on your phone? Gmail logs everything.

Thread moved to Q&A.
Maybe the app that she installed is being backed up by Google and will reinstall every time you sync to your account. Try to see if you can delete the back up from your sync profile. There is no way an app can survive hard resets.

Just boot a stock rom and take it in to Sprint and let them deal with it.

And I think the thread title should be "Please HELP!!!! Crazy ex-girlfriend Dilemma".

It's one of your friends telling her everything would be my guess.

Just stop talking about her and she won't care anymore.
Have you ever heard, "If you don't have something nice to say ..."

I knew a guy that bugged his gf's car and house in multiple locations. It might not even be related to your phone. Are you always at home/work/car when you have your conversations?

I would take this gents advice, I used "gbackup" which backed up all my calls, messages, mms, and pictures and videos. But you have to set it up each time so that's probably a no go. And it might not be just your phone.....Damn i feel sorry for you bro

hahahahahah
this is the funniest thing i've read on xda
We xda members need to stick together EVO's before Hoes lol

Dude, you are getting ratted out by the very people your talking to about her. Betcha

epic thread lol
I really dont see how the app would survive hard reset though unless you're backing up. I'd go a couple of days without restoring anything and see what happens, if she's still guessing it then yeah I'll go with the people telling her explanation or your house/car is bugged. Thanks for the laugh, hope you solve this.

Re: Help
It's not my friends, she definitely tapped the phone. She knows both sides of the call. One of the conversations was between my Mom and I. My mom hates her. She is Korean so you know she's Asian, but she just happens to be Crazian!!! When I reset, I usually run no apps and don't backup anything but my google account.

do you have a old or different android phone you could activate? then pull the battery on the evo and see if it's an app or gmail related or if it's hardware related
edit: maybe she cloned your esn...

It's mostly at home.. I find out about it when she gets pissed and calls me out on things i've said. She used to always ask to play angry birds and she always looked suspicious, but I had no idea scum bag developers were out there creating illegal programs for privacy invasion that are impossible to detect or remove.

Programs
This is straight from the Mobistealth.com website.
I like how they pass this off as legal by saying catch a cheating spouse, monitor your kids, monitor an employee. Not for illegal stuff like monitor your boyfriend/girlfriend/crush!!! Live wire tapping through a phone's microphone of a room????!!!?! This crap should be illegal. www . mobistealth .com

Sprint Visual Voice mail for CyanogenMod10

All,
No credit here- I just wanted to let all of those looking for Visual Voice Mail for CM10 or other AOSP roms I have tested this on L710 SGS3 for Sprint and it does work. I tried it on CM10 nightly 8/20.
http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html
I didnt find a thread on this so sorry if its already out there. just dwnload the Zip and flash in CWM. Some say it doesnt work in other recoveries such as TWRP. I used CWM.
you can hit thanks if you want but I did not make this... I just braved it and reported it. VVM is very important to me. Only reason to keep sprint.
enjoy

Wow, this is one of the main reasons why I stayed away from CM rom in the past. I can't live without VVM... can't stand wasting 20mins sifting thru audio voicemails with a pen and paper.
Will it update to the new version or are we stuck with the version that gets flashed? VVM just had an update in the past few weeks, i think i'm on the latest which is 5.3.0.32.

I had visual voice mail with cm10 by just making a titanium backup of it from a rom that had it, then restoring when I ran cm10.

You never had to. Google voice provides a better voicemail if you ask me. And to the folks that dont like the deep integration, you can break the tie-in and just use it for the voicemail.
But yeah... VVM is good too. I just have fewer issues with google voice.

I need the "call record" app.

There's an app section for that

I can't find a thread that details that and the Google instructions are a joke. Care to fill us in on how you did that?

No offense but, Google voice is crap IMO. Or at least it was crap a year ago. That's what I tried to use when I was on cm7 on the epic. I hated it. Vvm is well worth the 2$ a month to me. I run a business with this phone, it's gotta be reliable. Like I said it's been a year since I last tried it, but the impression it left was a disaster to my business for an entire week.

You should give Google Voice another try. Make sure you set it up from a PC.
I also run a busniess from my phone and the option for different contacts to hear a different voicemail greeting is worth the price of admission on its own.
I have my main voicemail greeting set up as my business name and then I have a different voicemail greetings for my personal contacts.
I can login to any PC and retrieve my voice mail, no phone needed. I'm not sure if Sprint VVM does that or not.
I honestly would not be able to run my business without Google Voice.

Wow guys... Ok heres the skinny. I did a TB but the backup was not there after CM10. IDK y im working on it.
#2 I tried installing .apk- didnt work, kept saying your acct cannot be verified. Thats because the supporting files are not in place in AOSP- this is the way it has been since AOSP, so idk what he's talking about.
# 3 yes it did update.
#4 Google voice is horrible- I have tried it multiple times I always get beeps in the middle of my calls and the transcriptions are terrible, best part of google voice is missed call notifications even when you didnt get the call.
Now This is a Sprint VVM thread please keep it that way and if you want to run your mouth about something else then go somewhere else. Also dont need info about other apps or whatever-
Contribute or just keep moving...

I wanted to thank ya'll for posting this. Great stuff.
Just some observations...
This is the second-to-latest Sprint Visual Voicemail application. It works well, is stable, and I love it on Paranoid Android 1.9.9
Just a note - if you're worried that upgrading to this will delete your current store of voice mail files, it will not. If all you're doing is *flashing* this on an already-rooted ROM using CMW 5.0+, you're going to be okay. I played around with it earlier today. No problems whatsoever, all stable, no SNAFUS. I don't know why some people have reported issues.
Hoppingfully yours,
--SLN

Does this give the weird text every time you get a voicemail like all the other CM's?

Cm flashers are always pushing Google voice, but I find it to be extremely inconvenient and complicated and the voice to text translations are horrible. VVM is the only way to fly in my opinion. I'm getting the 9016 text thing on freegs3 now, but it doesn't bother me. It's just another notification. I just delete the thread after a while. I've been flashing so much lately that the text notification actually caught a few messages while I was flashing.

This should be in themes and apps not development. Especially since you didn't make it. Plus there is already a thread on themes apps with I believe the same vvm.
I know you're trying to contribute but please post in the right place.
-Sprint Galaxy Slll_Transformer Prime-

Yes i do still get the annoying texts.
Then maybe someone needs to work on the search function. I searched before posting so w/e dude. I pit it in development because you have to flash in recovery. This isn't just an apk

I think the important question is why is this in the development thread? Please read the rules so you understand where to post. It makes the forums much easier to navigate if everyone posts in the correct forum.

stop annoying text messages.
the Text messages can be stopped by recording a voicemail message and sending it to the following address: [email protected]

Incorrect. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PEOPLE PLEASE USE THE SEARCH feature built into the xda forums. These text messages have been around since CM6, its how AOSP works. The only way to remove them is use chompsms, gosms, or something similar to block the 9016 text messages.
There is an APK in the Apps and Themes section here, install that, reboot to recovery, fix permissions, reboot phone, open vvm app, send 25 second message to [email protected] and it will provision and work. I have never had a single problem getting VVM to work since CM6 following these steps.

Defected Samsung s3?

Hello All,
I been having problems with messaging on the S3 i got last month from T Mobile. It lags and a lot of time it says that the messages failed to send. When I send and receive a lot of texts, sometimes the contact list crashes and almost all the names revert back to numbers. ( some still retained their names for some reasons while others lost it) I have to restart the phone to get it back. Once the contact has stopped, I cannot access it until I restart my phone! Any comments or help would be greatly appreciate. Thank all, you guys are the best!!

Go back to the store you got it from and ask for a new one, and explain to them all the problems you are having with the phone. That is what i would do. The worst thing they can say is no.

I've had issues with stuttering notification sounds - only when connected to my bluetooth deck in my car... not sure what's up with that...
Think I'm going to go the factory reset route and see if it does it right after a factory reset...

My phone also defected, but from North Korea.
Seriously though, I'd try to exchange it at a T-Mobile store.

If you have a ****load of messages this will happen. It used to happen on my i9300 when in Jellybean because it has a memory leak.

No because on the i9300 the JB ROMs have a sloe memory leak in them compounded with the extra texts I had saved and more being stored I would run out of memory every few hours. I know before I deleted a couple threads on my T999 I would sometimes see a loading screen for messages or numbers for a split second instead of contact names.

Whatsapp users! Be aware.

Guys, today after school I saw that all the statusses of my contacts were error: blablabla. I tried to refresh (in whatsapp) with no luck.
After receiving the following message, and after forwarding it to 18 ppl, i refreshed again to look if it would work.. It did work. The statusses of my contacts were back. I am just posting this here for you guys to get the statusses back. I am NOT trolling, I tested it on my phone, my sisters phone and my dads phone. I know the blue icon and red icon doesn't make sense without an app update or something like that, but the point is, after forwarding the message i got my statusses back!!( of my contacts!)
The message:
Before you read this, go to your contacts and look at everyones status! Should say error: status unavailable.
Hello everyone, it seems that all the warnings were real, the use of WhatsApp cost money from summer 2012.
If you send this string to 18 different on your list, your icon will be blue and will be free for you.
If you do not believe me see tomorrow at 6 pm ending WhatsApp and have to pay to open it, this is by law
This message is to inform all of our users, our servers have recently been very congested, so we are asking your help to solve this problem. We require our active users forwarded this message to each of the people in your contact list to confirm our active users using WhatsApp, if you do not send this message to all your contacts WhatsApp, then your account will remain inactive with the consequence of losing all their contactsMessage from Jim Balsamic (CEO of
Whatsapp) we have had an over usage of

WhatsApp is going to cost us money
soon. The only way that it will stay free
is if you are a frequent user i.e. you
have at least 10 people you are
chatting with. To become a frequent
user send this message to 10 people
who receive it (2 ticks) and your
WhatsApp logo should turn Red to
indicate a frequent user. Am sorry had no option!
And check now the status of every individual contact is showing :
Status : error

Copy and paste from before till error and send it.

Google Account Hacked???

I just found three apps on my Sprint account that i didn't buy on February 13. I got a credit for them, $10 total, but anyone else see anything suspicious from that time frame? Thinking it was right before MB1 update.

I had one purchased and went to sprint account last month and don't know how that happened. Needless to say I got a credit back for it and I changed all my passwords again

Yeah this
Back when texting was just starting up I would get charged when random people (who thought they were texting the original owner of a certain number) would text me. Many calls to sprint and talks with representatives laters, i blocked texts and all was good.

This was happening to me too! Sprint ended up reversing the charges but still very frustrating
