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.

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

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.

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!!!

I noticed this with dk28 where my snsservice would keep saying restarting after about an hour when my phone is booted and doesn't have a running time. I don't know if this is causing some issues because the phone then say that I can't edit my contacts.

I gather you are referring to Facebook SNS? This started after Facebook made changes to their application and introduced their own sync process. Those changes did something that conflicts with Google's integration with Facebook.
Google and Facebook are going at it over the sync process within Android.

There is another thread a few pages back in this sub forum that discusses possible work arounds. Nothing confirmed to resolve the constant prompts as of yet.
I'm having this issue too, I don't use Facebook and I can't find anything on any of the forums about this issue. No problems other than SNSSERVICE RESTARTING... continuously in running services. I push to stop it and it goes away, but I haven't noticed any other problems, even after I close it. I do notice that my battery lasts longer when I kill it. What EXACTLY does SNSService do? I've heard several different comments that it is for Facebook, its for Security (? if so, what security?), etc... and what would be causing it to go into restart. I do toggle off 3G from Power Control Plus (and GPS and Auto Sync) when I'm at work or other times when I have 1 or 2 signal bars (to save battery), but when I've had this happen, I try reconnecting all those, and it does not save the snsservice from going into a restart loop.

I have the EXACT same problem, on EB13 Syndicate ROM.
One thing I know for sure is snsservice fetches email syncs at the selected intervals for the stock email app, because I haven't been getting any emails since the problem started. My girlfriend has the Samsung Fascinate (sister phone) and she has the EXACT same problem. Anyone else know?
I found a fix for this...I'll bet if you have this problem you don't have a Facebook nor Twitter account and thus, have removed the "Feeds & Updates" widget from your screens. If you DON'T force close the SNSService, but just put the Feeds & Updates Widget back on an unused screen somewhere it will immediately stop the snsservice from restarting. I've then deleted the widget from my screen and was good for about 2 weeks, then it started doing it again (after the facebook app got an update) so I just left the widget up now.

To remove the stock, built in SNS features, you can remove the following files:
Snsaccount.apk
Snsproviders.apk
About affecting the fb app, I'm not sure. I just started using the fb app so I can't say with certainty. I am going to test and see if deleting either or both apk files stop notifications in the fb app. Based on what you said, sounds like it might.

I'm pretty sure you NEED those apks if you ARE using Facebook. You just need to put the Feeds and Updates Widget back on one of your unused screens.
No, if you're using the Facebook app that you download from the market, you don't need either of those apks.
Just tested notification functionality like I mentioned in my last post, and I am getting them all. Those apks are deleted on my phone.
You'd need to keep those apks if you want the Twitter and Facebook functionality that comes built in on a stock phone.

Does deleting those two apks not affect Latitude updates? I know their separate services but it seems as if Latitude doesn't automatically update correctly when I remove either snsservice or drmprovider.

This bug is the most annoying and happens 3 times a day minimum...
When I'm listening to Zune, after 10 or 15 minutes the music will stop and the device wll freeze.
Device refuses to shut down. There's nothing I can do.
The only solution is to remove the battery.
So boring!

I have a Surround, updated to Mango (forced) and do not have any problems or bugs. I use the Zune player for hours every day at work, both streaming music with my Zune pass and listening to music stored on the device. Maybe you have bad hardware?
You are luckier than me
I have a Htc Mozart.
It used to work fine until I updated to Mango (officially).
This bug has been reported by other users on wmpowerusers.

It's an HTC bug, not a Mango bug. The sound enhancer is the culprit, have you updated it? Once I updated it, I disabled all it's features, restarted the phone, and reenabled it, no issues. I know that's a ***** of a bug, but it isn't Microsoft's fault, it's HTC's.

No problem, I hope that's your issue and it fixes the problem. When you update sound enhancer, it'll be in the Settings page and not a standalone app anymore, in case you can't find it.
I uninstalled the sound enhancer app like 2 weeks ago hoping that it would solve the problem. Well, it didn't. The phone freezes every time I play songs with shuffle enabled. I have an HTC Mozart and I'd like to install the app Sound Enhancer again (if it doesn't solve the problem I'd rather have it installed!). Does anyone know how I can install it??? I isn't in the HTC Hub or in the HTC Apps section in the Marketplace. I don't wanna have to restore the phone because I have saved lots of data since I updated to Mango! Any help, please?

Not sure what would cause it then. I know I had the problem, it was the most annoying thing since I download all of my music through the Zune Marketplace and shuffle throughout the day.
And it isn't in the marketplace? Seriously? Lol... I guess it still had issues. I'm glad I reinstalled it when I did.
Massive thread on this over here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-wpmusic/zune-on-wp7-freezes-between-songs/e862bde0-fd1f-471e-9822-5c7a44746390
Remember to click the "me too" button to keep the pressure on HTC/MS to fix this soon.
I had this problem during the beta mango and have also had it now I'm using the "proper" version.
It will always happen to me if I sync any songs to my phone at a lower bit rate than they are on my pc. They are all MP3's on my pc at 320 kbs. If I sync them directly I have no problems, as soon as I try and lower the quality then it will freeze at the end of a song.
I have put 32gb memory in my phone so at 320 kbps I can still have quite a bit of music on my phone, but I'd like the option to lower the quality and have more without it breaking.
Green Samot -
Try turning off Zune desktop audio conversion before you sync your MP3s (Settings->Phone->Conversion Settings).
In my tests MP3 files play OK as long at they are not converted by the Zune sync software.
I only have problems with tracks encoded with WMA 9.2 or later.

Yes it has been pulled from marketplace due to this bug.
But for everyone who got the mango update, I really recommend to do a hardreset. I did that and I don't have even one mango bug that are listed in various threads.

Sorry, but this is a completely unacceptable suggestion. Performing a hard reset destroys any saved SMS, any game saves, app settings, system settings, email account setup, and all installed apps. And before anyone tries to suggest it, connecting to Zune after a hard reset does not reinstall all apps, only the most recent ones. Plus, if I recently installed and then uninstalled an app, Zune tries to reinstall it again.
I refuse to go through that much inconvenience just to correct someone else's incompetence. The last time I had to go through a hard reset, it took over three hours to get my phone back to where it was, and even then all of my SMS and game saves were lost.
If Microsoft offered the ability to save/restore SMS, and to back up system/app settings and game saves, and the ability to review my marketplace history, and select the apps I want to reinstall after a reset, then it would be acceptable.
As it is now, however, no way. Not gonna happen. If they can't fix these issues without requiring a hard reset or provide the missing tools so that recovering from a hard reset isn't such a nightmare, they will lose customers.

Well you can either spend just 3 hours to make a fresh hard reset or you can wait weeks or even months for a fix, it's your decision. You can copy your most important sms to a word document and upload it to SkyDrive. It's just a recommendation.

Correction: you can spend three (or more) hours on the slim hope that it will improve some of the issues, with no guarantee that it will. No thanks. And copying SMS to a Word document is probably the stupidest "solution" I think I have ever heard. It is tedious, time-consuming, and doesn't offer any ability to restore or transfer them.

Hello everyone,
Since the beggining of this week, I'm experiencing a weird and suspicious event.
My wifi icon shows up like if I was downloading something 24/7 (please see the attached picture)
Seems like some app keeps using my wifi to send/receive data (could be a trojan ?).
I want to know your thoughts about this knowing that I rebooted both my phone and rooter several times already.
Thanks.
Hey dude,
That's normal. Most times bloatware is running as a back process on the phone. It also depends which apps you've got. Like news apps or if your Facebook or Twitter is active. Don't worry about it, I would say.

If you are worried about Trojans do a search on Play for one of the free security software. A good one will scan and show you suspicious apps you need to evaluate and possibly remove. Good luck
Best way to find out is root and use Android Firewall. It is free and useful. You can block and just check logs to see what is sending traffic.. and where.
Thanks for the answers guys
It does look like some heavy working app because It takes ages before a normal website loads.
@Beowulf_pt : that's exactly what I'm looking for, cheers !
You really need to look at what you have runing in the background and decide if you want all of it turned on. There is a lot of things that are on by default that you may not need like auto updates for apps. They will be checking to see if there is an update and use your bandwidth even if there is no update available.

It could be google instant upload / picasa (check your Google Account sync settings) or Dropbox Camera Upload (check dropbox app settings).if you have those enabled that could be the cause. I'd guess they're the most likely culprits in this case.
I pre-load lots of videos on wifi while charging (or try to), but the youtube app signs me out automatically after I don't use it after whatever length of time, and I lose my pre-loads.. Never had this issue with phones in the past, anything I can do to stop it from logging me out?
Why use the app? Its always the first thing I uninstall when I get a new phone, install Flash and enjoy full Youtube on a browser.
Can you preload videos using the browser? Doubt it, thats one of the reasons I use it. I quite like it is another minus this signing out issue.
Yea I'm facing this problem too. I think it's due to multiple Google accounts? Coz I'm using 2 Google accounts and facing the problem.

I thought that was the problem too, so I deleted one of the gmail accounts and the problems still there. I had 2 accounts with my last phone and never had this problem so don't really understand.
Yeah this is annoying me too, haven't been able to find a fix. I also have two Google accounts, and deleting one doesn't change anything.
In fact, all new YouTube apps annoy me, the one for ios is the worst piece of crud they've ever come up with. "We estimate that you would rather watch a screen composed of 6 moving pixels rather than waiting a little bit to buffer because of our stupid server priority system, and you cannot choose what you prefer". Thanks Google and apple, together you become the ultimate troll.

I am also facing similar issue and a few more. Play Store isn't updating or downloading apps. Contacts are not getting synced. Please check if you have these issues too.
Would tube mate not work well for your requirements?
I too am having the issue. Gets very annoying. I noticed it when I got the note 2. I have tried all that I can think of, to no avail.
I've read a bunch of different explanations for it, from Google+ integration causing the issue to gapps being the cause.
I don't know what the issue is but I've been having it since the latest YouTube update, so I'd imagine it's something to do with the app itself.

Although it doesnt help me any, its good to know I'm not alone with this problem... All I've figured out to stay signed in is to not close the app when I close all the others by swiping them. If you don't close it, it should leave you signed in.
I'm not having any issues with play store, everything else seems perfectly fine.
