[Q] Secure manager Software

Hello,
what Secure manager software you are using.
i'm trying to find good software.
i tryed f-secure ant-theft needed to reflash phone.
then Es Secure Manaager, didn't work.
so any suggestion?

WaveSecure and Lookout are two of the best security apps that I've tried.

I realy dont see the point to install any Secure manager software, if the phone get stolen and you send the lock command and the thief cant "use" it, but if the thief reinstall the rom WOLLA it works.
WaveSecure take US $ 19.90 for 1 Year and call it secure? LOL

You culd have one bult in i9000
www.samsungdive.com its free

I'm interested too.
I'm not afraid that someons install a new ROM. I'm afraid that the thief willhave acess to personal infmation like contact list, address. He will even have access to GPS information so he will know where I live.
Here in Brazil you can send the IMEI code to the carrier (with a police report) and they will preent the phone from working on any carrier here.

Hello,
I know that if thief is nerd he can get mine phone back by reflashing. From those lock command.
The he can get mine account information from sdcard. So that is what i dont want to happen. If he can get mine google account then he can get mine credit card info. And he get access mine personal stuff like contacts, email-accounts and facebook.
So thats why i want to get Security Software. Im not concorning if some one gets mine phone. I can get newone from store, but that personal information needs to be protected.
And i tried that Wave and it didnt get connection to wave server on 3g or in wifi.
I havent tried that samsungs software.

G3 and McAfee

I just got my brand new LG G3.
I am absolute love this Device. But there is one think, i can't stand off.
Why does McAfee come Preloaded?
OK, i know (now) LG has a cooperation with McAfee - especially for the Kill Switch in case of my Phone got stolen.
But rly - They just simply could include this Function into the the ROM, totally without any 3rd Party Application.
Don't get me be Wrong. But a App with total Access to the Phone, an something serous like a Security Software should probably not be preinstalled on a Smartphone.
What if someone bought another Security App (or Solution) before. Or just simply don't want to have McAfee?
...
So the only solution to get rid of it, is to Root it - which i did.
...
Am I the only one, who has a Problem with this?

I'm on Sprint and don't remember it being one of the apps I froze. We had some other crap like it though. Just like when I buy a new laptop. Re install Windows first thing. Haha.

T-Mobile had lookout instead of McAfee. Froze it day one.

McApe
Yes. OFC i froze it.
But i think it is a bad Sign, when Security Solutions are preloaded on Phones...
I may be wrong (according to my Computer roots) - but if someone is not able to root and freeze it, he'll probably may have trouble with another security app (eg ESET).
And i think it's totally wrong, to force customers to use these kind of Apps.
In this special case I think, all the Securitysystems (lock phone down to the Recovery with the KillSwitch) in the G3 are nice. But i can't understand why they are all enabeled thrue a 3rd Party App.

Remove Phone Programing?

I have several old NOTE 2 (Sprint) phones. No longer used. I want to use them around the house for.. OK no bull ****.. I want to install Verizon Messages + on it and log in to my wife's
Account so I can see her messages. When I install the app on the old phone
It knows I am on a phone e and tries to log in with the old number.
The same app when installed on a tablet, let's you enter the phone number
To use and login with. How can I make the app think it's on a tablet and not
A phone?
Again, the phone is no longer used, just connected on WiFi and I am willing
To root or whatever, not worried about risk of bricking it as I will just
Move on to the next one and try again. I have tried Carrier Wipe and all. Still nothing.
Thanks in advanced. (Also I was thinking maybe something with the build.prop file
But app just force closes)

CyanideL has a tablet version of the ROM.

Root the phone and install Xposed. Afterwards, download a module named App Settings. The module will allow you to change the dpi and resolution of the app into one a tablet uses.

Does she know your intentions, or is this an invasion of privacy?
Reason being, I can't, in good conscience, give you advice on how to spy on your wife.

[SIM unlocked] LG D693n Stylus turned "partially" SIM unlocked after Super-Sume

[SIM unlocked] LG D693n Stylus turned "partially" SIM unlocked after Super-Sume
I think this is weird enough for a new thread: I recently got this G3 Stylus and, as usual, I proceeded on rooting. This time using KingRoot. Done easily, I must admit. Now, since KingRoot installed some unwanted and "unreadable" stuff, I've turned my sight over Super-Sume (you know what it does)... Super-Sume performed it's job as expected, replacing everything it has to with Supersu. Following the process and right after reboot, something weird happend: my installed SIM card appeared as an "invalid SIM card". Rebooted again and still the same message. Turned off the phone, took the SIM card out, reinstalled, turned on again... same message. Device had lost network connection, but it was able to send and receive data!!!... started research about the particular issue, but found nothing similar anywhere. Then I've tried three SIM cards from different carriers and they worked flawlessly. Installed the "invalid SIM card" again (which is from the phone's original carrier, BTW) and the issue was still there. Then, about 12 hours later, data was lost as well and SIM became useless in this phone. Tested another card from the very same carrier and it was useless to; however, this two cards worked perfectly on three different phones, so not a card issue. Contacted Super-Sume developer and he told me there's NO relation between his app and such kind of issue. OK. Contacted carrier and they know nothing. OK. Next, I resolved to look for some hint at "Replace Kinguser with SuperSu" XDA thread, where fellow member "CVangelo" suggested to check if phone asks for unlock code. Well, it does. So the phone is SIM locked after all, but JUST FOR ONE CARRIER!!! which happens to be the phone's original carrier. Not to blame Super-Sume for the mess. Perhaps is a "gift" left from KingRoot due to getting rid of it. Or perhaps is just coincidental. Point is, this is clearly a weird issue as most of you can see; at least until somebody rises her/his hand with an explanation. Who's first?

Only thing I would say is that it is network locked but in the exact reverse of what you would expect. Never heard of such a thing or knew it was even possible. Is there anyone with experience in network locks who can explain exactly what kind of network lock this? It may help explain what might have happened and how.

Hey... no one seems interested. I'm assuming no one will until someone else have the same issue. Though, I've been making some questions to some other "lock acquainted" people and most say it is kinda "blacklisted" lock "for sure". In such cases, the original carrier locks first; if you try another network carrier SIM, it will work for typically 3 to 5 more days and up to 8 (no more than that) then, that carrier will lock as well, and so on. Thing is, this phone IS NOT "blacklisted" (I've already made an inquiry for that in the global page) and there's about 17 days since original carrier network became locked. So... weirdness remains. On the other hand: How is that you're using "XDA free app"? I'm forced to use "Premium" because "Free" simply didn't work anymore on my devices. I like free version because it has more options and you can sign and stuff...

Really? I didn't even know there was Premium version. What's even the point of that? Lol. Whaddaya mean, the Free version didn't work anymore? Mine just keeps on ticking...but I only started using it after I had been signed up on the website and participating on XDA via the desktop browser for ages. Had you signed up on the website, or only on the app?
BW, do you have the apk of the free app? I can send it to you if you don't.

Well, signed both... "Premium" was once the paid app, as far as I know. I wasn't using "Free" app for a month or so; then when I required it again, it just didn't open. So I checked the store and they've turned "Free" into an earlier android versions app, thus it won't work for me anymore. Had to download "Premium" (now "Free") to keep going. If you can send the "Free" apk, I'll give it a try... Thanks!

Phone hacked

I need help identifying what app or setting got me into this mess.
I think the hacker has adb access.
He shuts down apps.. etc
He is messing with the notifications.. i get ony a few. Sometimes they come in late.
I have made reset from samsung setting and the boot menu, AND I INSTALLED A NEW ROM (the one for my phone) WITH ODIN. Still the issue resurfaces.
I think my roomate installed smthg in it. He is on the house wifi and he is got a degree in networking (i think thats what it's called, we study in french in my country)
Please i need help.

If someone needs any further details, please ask.

Avoid the wifi network you suspect your hacker friend is on, reinstall the rom downloaded on another network and stay on 4G and see if it still happens? Also suspect your PC to be hacked...

Thx for replying,
I did format my pc but i have connected it to house wifi.. didn't notice anything out of order though.
I found out about the "Revoke USB debugging authorisations" option in Developer Options. I think it is working.

Today, since i made a new instagram account, i added a mutual friend. Turns out it was an old and lost account, and thats when i got the error from the video.
Fortunately, i fixed it by un.following the account and clearing the app storage.
I need to know what access does he have?

Can't upload the video, here's some shots.

Look no further than yourself for the cause of this... one way or another.
RX: Factory reset, change Google account password.
Stop with the social media crap and go mingle with real people.

This not about social media, it's about getting my phone back.
With my old account, I couldn't even talk to my messenger friend. Today, thats like having your phone number unreachable all the time, frustrating.
Please if you don't want to help don't, but no need for quick unhelpful replies.

How was it compromised?
Understand if it was compromised it's more than likely because you left yourself vulnerable to attack.
A compromised OS needs to be cleaned or wiped... I gave you the solution(s).
No need to say thanks but don't give me lip about your screw ups.

Thank you.
I tried factory reset more than 10 times, different ways. No luck.
I think he is got access to one of my friends account but i don't know how he is using this connection with me ( message, notification.. i don't know)
@blackhawk what you said is true, and i didn't mean no offense.

Reflash the firmware especially if it is Oreo or below.
If it's not embedded in the firmware, it's being added by you albeit inadvertently.
Your Achilles heel is social media... don't be so predictable. Break the link in the chain.
None of the social apps should be running on the device, they are malware. At least keep them in the cloud.
Email must always be kept in the cloud and any attachments downloaded from it scruntinized or preferably not downloaded at all. All downloads are suspect.
At this point your data base is suspect as well.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.

Unless someone physically got their hands on it, there's no known way the Android 11 stock factory image can be compromised by a rootkit or virus. A factory reset is all that is needed.
The problem happened after the reset.

That is exactly what i suspect did happen. I often leave my phone home and my pattern is known for him.
How can i undo a modification of that level.
(I intend to go to a phone repair shop and install new soft with the "box". Is this recommended or is it a bad idea)

Never leave a phone physically unsecured as that's the only real security there is.
You need to have the firmware reflashed then be careful what you put back on it.
Change all your passwords and use secure passwords.

I ithink i this is the problem.( in the pic below)
There was an app called android device.. don't know if this is normal. So i deleted it and restarted and things are back to normal.

Sorry i can't upload the image, the app closes automatically.

Scan it online with Virustotal.
