OK, well it really isnt possible to remotly hack a phone unless you installed an app that let somebody do this. So, two questions, what have you installed recently, and how do you know somebody hacked your phone?

Well really nothing and I also get 10 to 15 blocked calls a day I have Mr number blocker installed to block these but somehow some get through to my voicemail. The messages were saved and the whole thread was forwarded. Also pictures get forwarded and phone makes calls by itself

Sounds weird.
Full wipe and/or factory reset just to be safe. Probably not a good idea to use any backups from the infected rom.
LBE Security is an app for free on the market.
It'll prompt you if an untrusted app tries to do anything malicious like that.

How does he know that they were forwarded.... probably someone was messing with your phone

With adb you can use the following to find out what all is running, whatever is doing it should show up on there
Code:
adb shell ps

I always keep my phone on me. I know they were forwarded because my ex got pic and messages and I did not send them thanks guys

check your apps through TB or manage apps and see what is all on your phone, maybe your ex or someoene installed something on your phone to forward texts.. i had a ex try and install a app on my phone (cant remeber its name), this app was suppose to be hidden and only accessable by hiting some numbers on the dial pad and hitting send.. But i noticed right away somethign was weird in my phone (it was acting real slow) and i looked in applications and manage apps and found it and uninstalled it..

Looked at my apps, saw nothing weird

If you're on of those people who believe your phone can get hacked I'd suggest lookout security or avg free antivirus to ease your mind.

Yea, I find it hard to believe someone hacked your phone JUST to send pictures to your ex girlfriend. Are you sure you didnt get drunk and send them yourself? Or let your friend borrow the phone?

I don't drink and its happening well thanks anyway I guess I wont find a solution here
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Are you sure someone didn't sign in to your Sprint picture mail acct online? I think they can forward from there. Also if you always use the same password, they can dial your number and access your vm and forward them etc

Ouch, I wasn't aware that the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 had CarrierIQ, the battery-draining performance-sapping privacy-invader.
I came from the Sprint Galaxy S2, and there was a fairly involved mod to remove it.

Hopefully one of our ROM devs here can work the same magic.

Did you flash a Rom? Because I believe its only in the stock Rom. juggernaunt Rom doesn't have this process.

If your root i suggest making a nandroid backup. Then use titanium back up to remove the process.

I know its just don't know if its going to boot loop. Because this **** steals everything from us.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Anyone knows?

I told you make a nandroid back up and remove the process with titanium backup. If its boot loops. Remove the battery and restore your back up from clockwork recovery.

I froze it with titanium with no negative effects so far. When I had an evo3D I had a kernel that blocked it completely from communicating with the network and even if installed again it would be unable to connect to anything. Any developers know of a way to get this done with our phones?
For all of those unaware of carrierIQ its a logging program for usage stats run by a company hired to get user stats for carriers. Its methods are extremely intrusive it can read KEYPRESS logs as well as has access to just about every scrap of data on your phone. Do a Google search. Big brother stuff.

it isn't in the juggernaunt rom i believe the developers already removed the process. the evo 3d has a locked boot loader. Samsung does not like i said try removing it with Titanium back up if it fails well nandroid. I'm actually looking in titanium back up myself. You can actually download the roms and open with 7zip or winrar go to system and see if its there.

Wrappio???

I received a notification in the status bar to upgrade to the newest market. I clicked on it and was taken to a site I had never heard of before - wrappio.com. After looking at the site and reading some stuff online it looks like borderline spyware / spam to me. Needless to say I am not too happy about it. I have not installed any suspect .apk files and only downloaded apps from the market. I am running Juggs 4.1 along with the ICS theme / Darkside theme.
Can anyone tell me where this might have come from?
Thanks, in advance.

I see that type of issue alot with my customers that stop into the store. Download lookout or avg. One of your apps is causing that issue it happened to me with mp3 download pro. All kinds of odd notifications were popping up.

Clipboard

Is there anyway to clear the clipboard on the Galaxy S 3? I am no longer able to copy and paste and everytime I try to on the stock internet browser or Google Chrome it crashes. I read online the crash is due to the clipboard being full but I'm unable to find out exactly how to clear it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

If you hold the mic button down on the stock Samsung keyboard a pop-up will come up with choices, one of those choices is your past saved clipboard. You can delete them by holding down on each one and hit delete.
Good Luck

I ended up rooting my phone and deleting the clipboard through root explorer. That seemed like that was the only way to do it rather then wiping my phone.

I have not rooted mine yet and I also use Swiftkey 3. I cleared my clipboard by holding down the mic on the stock Samsung keyboard and several possibilities popped up and one was the clipboard and clipboard history. I simply long pressed on each clipboard I wanted to delete and hit delete. It worked just as I described. Maybe you didn't click the proper pop up. Could you see the past clipboards you had used? I had about 5 I think that I deleted.
Good Luck,
Vinny

Nope I couldn't see the past ones, but I did follow it step by step like he said. I did find out that that the GS3 has a bug when it comes to the clipboard and a ton of people could not delete it unless the rooted and did it through root explorer. Im happy now, the clipboard is clear, im rooted and I can always use root explorer to fix the problem if it happens again.

[Q] Why wont Google Play Store Restore my apps??

i was just wondering if anyone knows why google play store doesnt restore any of my apps after i do a clean wipe and and flash a new rom. it used to start re-downloading them immediately on the first boot up after i signed in on my G2X when using a CM based ROM. and does any know of a free and reliable way to batch restore apps???

I wonder this my self... But I use titanium backup it has its bugs sometimes but it works fine for me

Well I was hoping there was a free legal way to get it.... like taking a offer or a survey. Kinda like how akinator lite offer akinator pro to people who like their Facebook page or tell a certain amount of people about the app.... free doesn't always mean steal. Remember that

Did you leave the box checked that said sync with Google (OE something like that on the first boot)
And as far as tb goes give app to zip a try. Its a great app, and there is a free version that will do all you need. And the pro version is less than three dollars

LOL I love starting my morning with a good chuckle

I guess that it only working when an official ROM is installed. I tried more than 4 custom ROMs and all cannot get my apps back

Saving my apps to an sd card works for me. I also tend to modify roms via the android kitchen and while at it, place a few apps I need accessible prior to flashing (root explorer, etc).

Well, I've noticed that they don't restore all the time unless you use the same ROM. But even a stock rim misses the occasional app. Titanium Backup works great for me.

Remove your Google account, and just add it back for auto restore to work again.

Just a kick because if your apps don't start to auto restore and you want them to, simply go to Settings, Remove your Google account, and just add it back. Worked for me.
