Well, she told you to factory reset the phone... but if you did that 5 times... it is something else. Hmmmmmmmmmm. I dont know.

Report your phone stolen and eat the fees

Also, are you sure, under running services there is nothing odd... try ATK Froyo to see if it detects anything opening and running and maybe a 3g monotiring app to see what is using data

Dude take her to court for invasion of privacy. Sure for emotional distress and whatever else you can come up with. File a police report to back up your case and go into detail. Give her a taste of her own medicine.

Edit: remember the 2 rutgers students who got 5 years in jail after that student committed suicide. Invasion of privacy is serious.

Going to the cops sounds fantastic (nevermind the fact that the police has real policing to do), but the OP seems to be looking for a fix to the phone problem, not the insane ex gf issue, ATM. So, how about we all try to figure out how to get the junk off his phone rather than come up with some cool scheme to press charges and take her to court...

Thank you guys for trying to help. I think trying to pursue through the police or court will just be a waste of time, I just want my phone back to normal.

Are you willing to do a factory reset?

Try the ATK Froyo and monitor 3g to see if it is something you can trace down?

That way, if you do a factory reset after you determine what it may be, and it is STILL there after a reset, you know it is somehome, via magic, stuck in that phone.

Move on. She only has power over you if you allow it. Since you said earlier she stole your car or something like that (I think it was you), you should have already reported her. Since you didn't/aren't...I have to assume you won't. What can she possibly do to you?

No - here's what you do. We're about to go through the looking glass here people.

Does she know that you know the phone is bugged?

Does she know that you know that she knows that you know that the phone is bugged?

When outclassed technically, resort to social engineering and misinformation to achieve your goals. Plan this with a friend you can trust AND NEVER DISCUSS IT ON THE PHONE. Some fun conversations to have;

"yeah, my ex was ok, and she would die if my ex ever found out, but boy, was her sister/best friend ever a real tiger in the sack!"

"I know, I thought she would have found that $100 bill I sewed into her favorite shirt/skirt/shoe/whatever ages ago! I guess she just didn't rip it apart enough!"

You can see where we're going with this. The important thing is to make it believable when discussing it on the phone with your friend, but deny everything when she confronts you with it. The goal here is to turn the tables on her so that she will want to prove to you that she heard exactly what you said, and will show you how she did it.

Good luck. We're all counting on you.

:D

edit - just read that she knows that you know. The above still applies, it'll just be harder to sound convincing. If the bugging software is any good, you're probably not going to be able to get rid of it - I'm thinking Android version of rootkit.

It my be possible that the program embedded itself into /system and everytime you do a factory reset it just reinstalls itself. I would go into recovery and wipe everything a few times and install a new rom and I would also format the sd card incase there is a self executable file on there somewhere.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robnelle:
THIS!

She is only doing this because she knows it bothers you. Personally, I think you should be recording every time she calls you with this crap - making sure to tell her to go away, leave you alone and never call again - just like unique said. If you live in a 'two party' state, make sure you let her know that every time she calls you, you are recording her calls. If you live in a 'one party' state, all the better! Then you don't have to let her know you're recording anything! When she fails to stop calling and harassing you, file a restraining order based off of the saved recordings of her harassing you. Hopefully she'll continue to call you and then you can have her thrown in jail.

I would think it would be easier to get her arrested for violating the restraining order than it will be to nail her for the software you can't find. After the authorities start investigating her for the no-contact order violation, then you can bring up the wiretapping software issue and hope the cops pursue it and search her computer for saved mp3 files of your conversations or some other clues that she solicited one of these companies for spy software. I would still talk about her freely on the phone though. In fact, I'd drag for her even more-bait her into violating that no contact order. Just make sure you that when you speak negatively about her that what you say is true and you can prove it. Also, when you feel the need to identify her as a crazy stalker *****, you need to phrase it as your opinion and not fact. Say " I think she's a crazy stalker *****" The "I think" is important for slander/libel reasons so whenever you talk about her make sure you put that in there. I'd also be careful about any other sensitive information like cc#s and the like.

As for the phone itself, If no one on this site can sniff out the program, you'll just have to get a new phone. I would be tempted to hold onto it just long enough to give that heifer the rope to hang herself. Also although you firmly believe the phone itself is bugged, I still would not rule out the possibility that she has your home bugged as well. If she's nutso enough to bug your phone, you certainly shouldn't put it past her to bug anything else.

I have gone to the police, they say they can't do anything until I can show them proof. I record almost every phone call with her, the recorder only works about 75% of the time though as it will sometimes stop recording her and just record me talking. She is always skeptical of me recording her so she never admits or talks about things over the phone. As a matter of fact, she always talks to me on the phone as if it's a 3 way conversation with a detective on the line. I have reset my phone numerous times, as well as format the memory card, rooted my phone to have further access of system files. I can't find anything, these programs are developed to hide and not be found, but yet work. At this point, I have the... in my opinion crazy woman;) out of my life. I have the best buy black tie insurance as well as the sprint insurance. Which would be a faster/cheaper turn around for a new phone. Trying to avoid a problematic refurb that could be headed my way. Also, since I rooted my phone, what is the best way to fly this under the radar? Should I cook this thing with electricity?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fst750mv:
I was talking to my best friend on the phone the other day, and he told me about a car he was going to buy but changed his mind, and I was telling him how hot this chick is in the "Like a G6" music video.

She called me and asked why Chris wasn't getting the car anymore and then said I was really going on and on about the girl in the video.

I bought another cellphone last week and was using that while I was trying to prove to the police she had me wiretapped, I finally broke down and reset the phone and figured it was gone, so I returned the phone but the recording continued.

All I can say is.... the program from www.mobistealth.com is by far one of the nastiest wiretapping programs out!!! Whenever you give someone the ability to activate the microphone on a phone to wiretap a room "live"...... That is some CIA ****!

"On Demand Surround Recording

BlackBerry and Android Spy app will enable you to remotely record all conversations in the surrounding of the phone. You just need to send a secret SMS and recording will automatically start. The whole recording will be uploaded secretly to your stealth club account."

If you haven't seen this site before, check this place out!! We should try to get everyone on XDA to sign a petition to get places like these shut down for invasion of privacy. This is a scary subject as phones become more and more advanced.

I personally vote for reporting the phone lost, pay the $100 deductable from Assurion, and "Donating" your phone to a Stripper, Prostitute, or Drug dealer.... I would love to see the look on her face when she hears THOSE calls...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bull8042:
To the OP, the police can help with the g/f problems if you play your cards right via a restraining order, but are not going to be able to do a thing about your phone as you are admittedly unable to provide any proof.

I hate to see you "lose" a brand new phone and end up potentially with a refurb. Your issues are not with the hardware at all, so my solution would be to root the phone (I think you said you have already done that) and download a copy of the latest Fresh ROM. flipzmode does some awesome work by the way. In my opinion, the spyware must be resident within the Android OS and if it stuck itself in an obscure place, a reset probably wouldn't touch it. Think about it, a factory reset does not remove the Nascar app, or the NFL app, etc. It only targets specific locations to remove "aftermarket add-ons" as far as I can tell. I highly doubt it searches the / directory and removes every single file that is not original.

That being said, there can be no way that this app can survive a flash to a new ROM. Even if you go back to the official Sprint ROM after the fact... Reformat your SD card and follow the instructions on the Geek For Me site and I think you will be rid of her spying forever.

Nothing to lose trying this first, right?

Oh, and re-install your apps from the Market, NOT from a backup.....just to be sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Just wanted to add, after reading through this thread, I found it slightly comical that on Bones last night, a guy played back part of a cell phone conversation. When asked if he illegally taped the suspects phone, he simply relied, "There's an app for that". Didn't much care for the Crapple reference, but it immediately made me think of this thread. Also, on $#!* my Dad says, there was another reference where the wife had a "Tracker" program on her husbands phone.... After seeing 2 shows with a similar reference, I found it kind of creepy. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassic:
You say you're rooted. What method did you use to root?

My guess is that whatever spyware is there is embedded in the system files, presumably hidden in a modified version of a default system component, and is not just a regular application that gets wiped during a factory reset.

My suggestion is to flash another ROM; either the original or one of the third party ROMs; just make sure you get it from a reputable source. Unless it's the bootloader or recovery that is hacked. Funny, I remember flashing a custom recovery and a bootloader that I downloaded from XDA and everyone said it was OK - was it *really* OK?

If this happened to me, I'd do a factory reset and then compare the file size and date of each and every file to those files from a clean image of the same ROM you're using, to try and find the offending binary.

The fact that this type of spyware exists is VERY troublesome; it seems far too easy for someone to bundle this crap in one of their ROMs. I hate to say it, but this is one of my biggest fears with the whole android ROM scene; all it takes is one malicious developer to slip a piece of spyware like this in their releases. Or a perfectly reputable developer who has been providing quality releases could one day go rogue and then try to take over the world (or at least take over the handsets running his rom)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassic:
OK, I'm confused here. You claim you returned the phone, which I interpret to mean you didn't have possession of the phone anymore, and you used a completely different phone for your conversations, yet the recording continued?

That means it wasn't your phone that was bugged; your house was likely bugged, or an investigator or someone at your wireless carrier is involved in a full law-enforcement-style phone tap/monitor.

What are the odds that none of this really happened at all, and fst750mv is just a shill for the mentioned website? 16 posts on XDA and they're all right here on this thread. Perhaps the XDA admins could do a check and see if the IP used to log in comes from anywhere near Salem, MA.

No petition would ever get a 'place like that' shut down for invasion of privacy, but if what they're selling or offering is illegal, it will likely get shut down; no

petition needed.

That's some pretty crafty SEO; get some backlinks from XDA to improve your pagerank!

Because it would be incredibly easy to pop the phone open with my thumb, press one key to dial someone, then pop it closed and start talking.

Please and thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
The I9000 is a GSM/HSDPA phone. It will NOT work on a CDMA network such as Sprint or Verizon in the US.

I believe your confusion is the difference between WCDMA and CDMA.

WCDMA is HSDPA. It is NOT CDMA, but a 3.5G sort of. It is a newer/different technology than CDMA.

CDMA uses a hardcoded ESN for connecting to the network.

WCDMA uses a SIM card for connecting to a network, making it much more similar to GSM than CDMA.

I hope this helps a bit.
