How to remove flexispy?

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.

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!

Screen record / multi window / screen record rant

All missing. Really? I will donate to whoever fixes that lameness.
/Rant over
edit....sigh...typo
second screen record was supposed to be Google wallet

But....you already donated to Samsung...
All kidding aside, shoehorning this into the OS that I don't believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) has been officially released (kernel and all) yet will be an ugly endeavor.
I applaud the ROM cooks for their hard work, and agree. I've done my share of donations to the Evo3D gurus, and will continue to for the future the Note2 wizards. I really doubt we'll see these features, at least seamlessly as we'd like, prior to Samsung releasing them.
While I can honestly say I'm disappointed for the same reasons, along with the fact that inductive charging on the Sprint models has been made almost impossible. (I've recently learned you may be able to physically mod the phone)
I also must admit, over all, this is the single best smart phone I've had, the only other phone I've been this excited about was the Palm Pre when it was first released (zomg true [email protected]#)
So, /rant signed, added to, and amended with a pat on the back to Samsung for delivering an awesome phone on it's own standing even with flaws. :good:

Palm pre. I'm a die hard palm lover.
I was on treocentral and pre central most of my days.
Love the palm. Wish it. Had better hardware

Yep. Along with multi-screen

And Google wallet (which can now store just about any credit/debit card.
What is so annoying about these features not being on the phone...is that they are SOOOO real world useful in application. I just don't get it.

Well I am sure it will be in an upgrade correct

Screen record will probably need to be a hack as some rumors are going around about a patent in the US vs. Europe.
Why Multi-App view is not working is unknown.
Google Wallet is dependent on Sprint allowing it, from what I hear.
Inductive charging has something to do with the outside case contacts with the internal battery contacts. the hardware my be causing this limitation although there is a rumor of a hardware hack for this going around as well.

**Ultimate GS3 sudden death thread** (Tmo version)

Hi guys, recently lots of S3 owners encouter this scary issue that their S3's motherboards just failed randomly and the phones are dead.Here is the link to the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
However, after reading pages, I noticed most cases are in the UK, some in other europe countries, some in asia (india, south east asia). Not sure the US version (and Tmo version specificly) is suffering from this, so I made this thread to gather information about this. I know I am paranoid, but I was hoping my S3 would last at least 2 years til my next upgrade. And now Im living in fear after knowing that thread. My S3 (manufacture date is 06/27/12) is still performing very fine with zero issue since august except the SD card being removed unexpectedly 2 times by the phone itself.
(btw, you can check your manufature date by dial this code: *#12580*369# )
Edit: seems like only international version suffers from this issue.

as much as i hate to say this but if this does happen to mine, this will be the last time I buy from Samsung and might jump ship to Apple where I can take a phone in a get it fixed in time.

Im pretty happy with Samsung, I deal with warranty on a day to day basis in another way but there is an expected amount of devices that go out that a company knows is going to fail at some point and also rely on returns for warranted devices to see what went wrong in production in order to correct it.
The problem is you have "X" amount of people on the forum which is big in consideration to a regular site and "Y" with the same problem and people group in and make the issue bigger than it is. Any company that posts a recall is at the point that OVER 42% of the product with the same failure over the release.
With that said I haven't had one problem with mine that others have reported and after being let down by HTC time and time again I most definitely will buy another Samsung device, so far it's been the best I've had out of the collection of smartphones I have.

You dont have to go to the store, call T-Mobile and they will send you one with an RMA, as soon as you get it put the old one in the box and send it out. All they do is check for water damage and put it up for refurbish they don't waste time putting it through testing they test the devices that may have account info on it if you can't power it up to format it before sending it back. They ask you that on the phone.

So does this mean that none of the tmo peeps have had no issues with their devices dying? I only ask because, I just got my galaxy last Wednesday. Had a couple quirks, but nothing's dead yet. Had a little issue with my music and swipe. When I would get my notifications tones say from email I would be listening to music, the sound would nearly drown out and stay that way till I paused my music and started again all was fine. I've been getting random screen flashes near the bottom of the screen, like a ton of lines like a glitch. Anyone else having this issue as well? Feel free to add anything else if you like.

Sounds to me like you might have activated something in developers options, go in settings and see if you selected anything that would flash the screen if long processes are in use.

Nothing in dev out of the usual, only thing being ticked is the usb debugging, and turned up the animation scales, transitions etc to .05, animations were at 1, but I was using swype, only happens when using that. Any better keyboards I can download on the market better than the Samsung or swype?

Did you enable any traces? That would show depending on what you have checked. I was gonna try enabling a few to see what it does but it's not like it would ruin anything. I'll report back though to see if I can recreate it.
Edit nope that did nothing, hope you figure it out, I never had that happen before.

Need someone who got an OG < 14 days ago and wouldn't mind a potential brick for CM

Need someone who got an OG < 14 days ago and wouldn't mind a potential brick for CM
If you got an OG less than 14 days ago (which means you could exchange it for free if you brick) and wouldn't mind bricking, I have something kind of risky for you to try. This could potentially make us able to run nexus 4 kernels, which would make the road to CM exponentially shorter. If you are interested, please PM me or post here and I will send you the necessary files. If possible, I would like someone who knows how to use fastboot. This is completely voluntary, so do not get mad at me if your phone bricks. Sorry to ask this of you, but my 14 days ended. My idea is to flash the RPM partition from the Canadian E973, which has CM and can run n4 kernels. The nexus 4 RPM led to a brick unless someone flashed their partition map (in which case, it worked and accomplished the intended goal), since the OG's and N4's partition maps are very different, but the Canadian OG's is mostly the same, which leads me to believe it could work.

I got an OG off of craigslist last week, just to mess around with it, and maybe replace my GS3 with it, when AOSP ROMs started showing up.
I don't WANT to brick it... but it wouldn't be the biggest deal in the world if I did.
Plus, I've been leaching off XDA since my HTC Vogue. I think I owe the community.
I can offer my OG up to science. Let me know what you need from me. I've got a free day, for the most part, and I can follow directions.
