Let me make this more clear for you.... I recently downloaded the palringo app....that comes from palringo....I got a message from my server that says an ip address in the UK has been searching through my accounts. So I tracked them down, and it went straight to palringo. The application stole my account info
@nikko1000
Actually your explanation isn't very clear.

"searching through my accounts"? What does this mean? And what accounts: accounts of IMs that you have connected to your Palringo account?

- ok maybe you don't get this...
1. I downloaded palringo on my android phone
2. I got a message saying that i can't log in on the app
3. I went online, and i got a message from my email, saying that there is suspicious activity on several accounts, coming from 1 ip address
4. I looked up the IP address, it went straight to palringo
5. I posted this up, and complained multiple times, and looked up other people having the same problem.

So what happens when you try to log into palringo via there desktop app?
You said you were able to check your email - so does this mean your IM accounts that palringo uses are still working?
You didn't answer most of my questions, but nevermind...
Why is it so weird and suspicious to you, that there were connections from Palringo IP, if this is exactly what Palringo should do?

you're still not getting this - they showed that they logged in with their ip address, and changed information on mine, without permission, obviously meaning that they logged in, with the info that was given to them
they showed obvious proof that they were trying to change my password, so i had to recover it through my cellphone

Yeah, but this is how Palringo works - it connects to services from Palringo servers. So if e.g. someone guessed your Palringo password, then he got access to all your connected accounts and all connections were from Palringo IP.
I mean: that may not be a guy from Palringo, but anyone who got access to your Palringo account.
this is not a random person, my password is practically un-guessable.... its a 20 letter code.... example : XAO352Fs3934HOe93kdj..... and who would have access to my account? i don't share my password, or my cellphone

1. WHICH Account? Do you mean just your palringo account, or all the IM accounts you are using with it?
Here is my guess of what's happened.
You installed Palringo on your Android device, started up and everything looks normal.
Now ONE (or maybe more?) or your IM accounts is indicating there was some weird activity.
You went to whatever IM account and noticed a bunch of connections from the palringo servers. (This is OK and actually not a problem - as that's how the palringo service works)
Thus - your handheld is probably logging you out and logging you in again over and over - which causes your IM service to think there is a problem when there is not. Either your 3G is going off or your wifi is going off - prolly when you put your phone in standby.

Good question. It *does* sound like you hacked somehow - but I seriously doubt that anyone at palringo had anything to do with it.
Either someone got your palringo username/password and then changed your passwords to gmail and facebook via that (if you even can) - or you were hacked some other way.
I would take a close look at your home computer (or any other machines you've used lately) and make sure you have no virus / trogans / mailware etc on those because odds are that's actually where the hack happened.
Have you had any luck recovering your facebook and gmail accounts? What a bummer I know how bad that sucks.
So, IP addresses usually point to ISP s... How did you track and identify this organization or individual?

Just got my TC tonight and I cant put it down. I LOVE this device. Ive never had a WM phone before but have played with them without any desire to own one. Well I really like how much can be optimized and configured, and thats not even considering all the tweaks found here.
Anyway, my current issue is that I cant get my yahoo email to work. Now, it could be that Im coming from a Blackberry Curve so my phone package is the blackberry BIS. Would this inhibit me getting my email? If so, do I have to call up ATT tomorrow and get set up on the smartphone program instead?
The POP/IMAP email access requires a normal dataplan... After that the device can configure itself for the mail access (after you enter you email adrdess in the new account creation). But if you want better useability, and more security than you should configure it manually whith IMAP access... if Yahoo! supports it...

I like my BB Curve better. I guess I have way too many things against me as a Mac user also. Its a neat phone but not what I really want.
yahoo/gmail issues
I am having a weird problem. When connected over wifi, yahoo and google connect and download mail like you'd expect.
When connected to 3G or Gprs network google and yahoo fail to connect. The phone tries to make another connection, like it does not know there is already a data connection.
I know my data connection is good at 3G, because I surf the web all day...
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.
Figured it out...
Had to uncheck the "use proxy" setting on the connection profile under "proxy"
Hi,
I buy my Captivate in the USA, with a friend that trip to Texas. I am from Chile!
I falling in love with my Captivate, just when I open the box and looked it!... but...
In a night work the 3th of march in my office, when just only 3 people plus me has in here, my Captivate was stolen, in my noise. It's Stolen!
I'm hope that the thief don't know how to wipe all the data in the cellphone, and connect to internet, then my gmail account sync with gmail, and I have the IP where he is!... but... not yet.
It's painfully for me! Is battery out, turned off obviously, sim retired and if is turned on, is not connected to internet.
Google don't provide a form to lock the device trough the Android Account, and I don't have other app for do it for me. I used Prey, but when update to Official Froyo, I Master Clear before with ODIN... I'm not sure if the IMEI of the phone change with this... just to communicate it to de mobile companies here, and backlist it.
I hope... that you can understand my pain...
Thanks guy!! And Thanks to all the Developers that create all thats rom so beautifulls!!!
I think that I'd be beating the crap out of those other 3 people until someone confessed to stealing it.
First off, log on to ur gmail from any web interface and change the password. This would atleast save u from the other user trying to see ur mails and accessing market for downloads.
IMEI number does not change. Pass it to ur mobile providers and get it blacklisted.

Why not reset the password (or click on 'Forgot Password')?
That way you can create a new password, and log in using that. :good:

Of course I understood you mate. You want to use K-9 email app to manage your company email account, right? But you don't remember it's password. So, the easiest way is to reset the password and set a new one. Then you can enter the new one in the K-9 app and login! Simple. :good:

XDA gets very suspicious when someone new signs up to the forum and their first question is about something that could easily be used to obtain hidden information that you shouldn't do.
How do we know that you are not trying to access someone else's email password without their permission?
If this is, truly, for your own work email then just ask the IT department to reset your password - but it is highly doubtful you have really forgotten your work password and sounds dodgy.
I had a similar problem as well. My email password could not be changed, there was no way to recover the password through the provider, and the workaround would have been to wait a few months for the account to be deleted and then reregister. Thankfully, I found the solution with a little googling.
Browse to /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases and copy EmailProvider.db to your computer. Other phones might have their database in a different location. Download and install Sqlite Database Browser from sourceforge.net if you haven't, and then skip down to the sqlitebrowser instructions here:
http://ubuntu42.blogspot.com/2011/11/android-recover-mail-password.html
Decrypt the password
On samsung phones, the passwords in /data/user/0/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db are encrypted. You will need to use the 'samsung-password' decryption tool: lovasoa.github.io/samsung-email-password-decrypt/

O STF up do you know how many emails i have? No But i'll tell you 2 personal 3 for work a spam and 2 for shopping not everyone likes using one or two emails for 700 things. you know how hard it can be at times to remember passwords... tell me haven't forgotten a password and wish you could just recover it without having to fight to reset it. sometimes it's not as simple as yahoo where you don't even have to be the owner of the ****ing email to to reset it. Not only that but again he has it on his old phone trying to put it on his new phone or switch apps to something simpler... i'm with him i have about 4 phones with emails on them i don't even remember making... so NO actually he sounds like a legit worker that is tyring not to a piss off the I.T. guys by giving them more **** tastic jobs that we just loving doing. because it's not like we don't have More pressing matters to attended to like fixing your printer that people like to over cram so they have to refill it less often. or constantly keeping you in work by repairing your computers that crash on you well you are doing graphs and slide shows. we would love to stop all that to reset your password you should have put in a secure place to begin with.

Hello,
Somebody has the ability to message my contacts on WhatsApp, despite me changing my phone (have tried both Android / iPhone). Not only are they controlling my WhatsApp, but they also have the ability to post stuff as me on Facebook too, which is quite scary (again on both iOS and Android).
Here's the really strange thing. They are now sending my contacts messages via WhatsApp appearing to be from my mum. My mum does not know what WhatsApp is, let alone use it - her phone doesn't even support internet (it's a Sony Ericsson T68i). How is this even possible?? I'm guessing they've found her contact on my phone (it's stored as 'mum').
I have no answers to any of this, I initially thought my Android phone had been hacked, but the problem is occurring on my iPhone too. My mum's phone has no internet, it doesn't even have a MAC address I believe, so they can't be spoofing via that method??
Help!

Yup - changed every password. A simple search reveals it's quite easy to spoof a whatsapp account, which I believe he's doing. No idea how to stop it and how he managed to access my FB too.
FB sign in logs shows nothing suspicious, so he's doing it through my phone.
Have contacted WhatsApp support, not sure what else I can do.
Might change my mobile number, but that is so much hassle!

You should go to FB settings and in Apps/Programs (not english FB currently) and disable access to whatsapp.

I've had issues with android native email app not synching. Can you describe your issue in more detail, it could be the same as mine.

well the email app takes the exchange account, I get email coming in with push. but I don't get calendar events. no matter what I do.
there's no error, or message, just doesn't show up. same settings on my two year old samsung, works just fine.
Check my blog entry at blogs.msdn.com/Baliles. I posted an article on how to get it to work.

thanks for the suggestion. I actually came across your msdn post a while ago. BUT, unfortunately, outlook.com (365) is not my exchange provider, so it's a moot point.

yeah that actually did it! I spent the day going down the list of exchange and email clients and in the play store and when I got to mailwise, it actually synced up the calendar events.
I damn near fell of the chair
thanks again for the suggestion. I'm not at all sure what the difference is, in setting up an exchange activesync account from mailwise as opposed to say cloudmagic or the sony email app or k9, etc...
anyway it worked and I hope this thread comes in handy for any unlucky soul that faces this issue.
Just my story and suggestion:
We use the Mdaemon Server (v14) with active sync support. First synce with my Z3 went finde. But immediately after that everything got messed up.
So after a few times adding and removint the account I tried to use the original Android Exchange client - same story here. Started to work and the just stopped to sync.
As a finel solution and afer running trough tons of Google-searches I have found the holy grail for me - Nine.
The cool thing for me was that it has a 2 weeks test-period after which you need to activate it.
So I tested about 11 days without any error and decided to buy it. So far no regrets on my decision! What I totaly like is that it has a well working search and a chat-view mode for the messages.
Anyway -- just give it a try - 2 weeks free testing.
The key was 7,60€ or whatever - equals 9.99USD.

Email App - Address lines cutting off in replies
Hello dear,
There is a problem i noticed with the Z3 email client after setting up my office email on Exchange.
for example, i am getting an email from someone with multiple people in "CC" and "To".
If i do a "reply all" or "reply only to the sender", in my reply, all the other addresses other than the sender's name gets cut off from the email to which i am replying.. This is a very disappointing thing for me since it seriously deforms the email chain and make us lose track of who all where there in the earlier email. This is especially bad when using for corporate official emails.
Before switching to Sony, (due to Battery life), i was using Samsung Galaxy and Samsung email app never had this issue. Whether you reply or forward, the previous emails were intact with all addresses and details.
Any idea on how to solve this?
regards....
