Thanks, planned on signing up at some point but just did it now while it's free

Thanks for the heads up. Just signed up, it was easy as pie. Already have my SMS backed up and tried the remote location feature - it was accurate within a block, which was impressive. Can't beat the price, too!

Had it for a while.. cannot stress how awesome it is, get it while you can!

everyone I know with android devices went and signed up after I gave them a quick demo.

If you uninstall this, then you're screwed? Can you ever get it back?

as far as I know signing up on the site sets up an account that is good for whatever sim you registered.
Also there is a an app on the market now that locks down your phone if wave secure is uninstalled! even more protection for your device.
You may not get the phone back but at least whoever steals it cant use it either.

If you mean as far as the free account goes, as long as you have created your account on phone and website, should be able to reinstall at any time.

Well they can hard reset, but a random thief/finder may not know that.
I have the uninstall protection.

AWESOME.

wouldn't that be the same as a remote with wave secure? I guess if they wiped the phone as soon as they stole it before you had a chance to lock it down. Once its locked they can't reset, or is there some other way to reset that I am not aware of?

Reset via the bootloader, indefensible.

How does this program compare to Mobile Defense? I have that installed on my N1 right now, but if people here like Wave Secure more, I might make the switch over. Thanks!

Get it while it's free and decide for yourself... you don't have to use it if you prefer Mobile Defence

Pull the battery?
Thanks for letting us know. It would be shame to miss a life time subscription on this.
That being said... i'm a bit disappointed with it. Location service is really bad... all it does it show your phone at the closest tower. It showed my phone almost a half a mile away. No way I would ever find it. Also, any command issued seems to take forever, or, as I just saw, not work at all "Your phone failed to lock". The first time it locked but took an abnormal amount of time (their words). I'm guessing its the fact that its a Singapore SMS coming into AT&Ts network.
None the less, it can only get better. Thanks again.

Sounds like it couldn't get location from your GPS and failed back to cell tower location. When I do it sitting in my house it shows a a circle no bigger then my property centered on my house on google maps!

[Q] T-Mobile snooping on my Galaxy S 4g ??????

Im not sure if this has been discussed before as I did search but cant find anything.
Today I called T-Mobile for the first time to complaint that my MMS is not working (known problem for samsung galaxy s 4g) and asking them when is the update available to fix this issue, and My SMS is in and out as well ?
I didnt tell him what program I have/downloaded on the phone since he didnt ask.
I get transfered straight to higher (level 2) technical support. He said dont touch the phone while he was checking something and the phone will reboot. The phone did reboot and the SMS get fixed.
This is what Alarmed me so much.
The tech support ( I wont publish his name here) know exactly what software I have on the phone (downloaded from the market), what is currently running, he also know I have advance task manager among other thing.
He even knew my Gmail address I use on the phone and google market account.
How is this possible ?
Is there anyway I can block this because I dont like when T-mobile snooping on my phone. If they can see the apps I downloaded on my phone and know my gmail address, know what apps currently running, Can they also access my email through my phone ?

Honestly never heard of that. Thats wild!

dude there are 30 plus million subscribers in t-mobile. unless your a celebrity or a son of bill gates or something they wont waste their time nosing on what you install or who you talk to everyday. anyway that less of your problems if you stress about that, they got your full name and ssn in file and a credit card number. if thay wanted to mess you up thats what they will go for.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, it's just like any computer service company that can push updates to your computer.. All they did was push an update and had your phone reboot.. Now if you had some terrorist shizah on there, then I'd be worried, but other than that, they've probably already forgotten about you!

You wouldnt enter someone else house without asking for permission wont you (unless if you want to get arrested ) ?
The guy didnt ask for permission and I never give my approval for Tmobile to snoop into my phone.
Like I said it suprise me for the tech support to mention the apps I downloaded , running in the background and my gmail account associated to my phone and market account.
Those action has nothing to do with fixing my SMS connection ???

It doesn't surprise me at all. The OTA capabilities are there in a lot of devices, including your DSL or cable modem. Google owns everything you do on your Android phone, including your location even when you're not doing anything. Unfortunately, the Facebook mentality about privacy is winning.

I was surprised to see it on my phone as well since I hadn't installed it.. talk about bloat... why would the phone come stock with this?

They've been doing this for years, it's nothing new at all.. Notice how you call and they automatically know what kind of phone you have? Same premise. I've called multiple times with phones that were unlocked from other networks also, they could see the phone, and never cared. Take off your tinfoil hat, there's nothing to worry about.

Yea they said let me check it to look up what phone u have and what faqs and problems. Dont be alarmed

No matter what phone you have, T-Mobile (and I'd assume AT&T) can find out what phone you are using, even if it's not a T-Mobile branded phone.
I wouldn't worry, they aren't gonna do some stupid **** with that, they just did that to repair your phone. I honestly doubt they'd risk losing a customer over a little thing like that.
Google is the one you should be worried about. They know where your phone is, exactly to the millimeter (I don't think that really works with the Vibrant though. xD).

u called to get your phone fixed didnt you? and they did just that didnt they? if you are so worried about your privacy i got a old motorola razr sitting in my closet, ill gladly trade your sgs4

Google is the devil, and will take over the planet, and join steve jobs. Put on your tin foil hats!

To further this, its done through rescue me. It is built into the kernel. On the Vibrant froyo leaks i have leaked out it is there also. We just remove the Rescue Me app.
I can remove the drivers and credentials from the kernel if people are that concerned about it. I wouldnt be though.

A sysctl to enable/disable would be my personal choice, but I have yet to build custom kernels for Android (though have for FreeBSD and OpenWRT) so I don't know how feasible that is with the source access we have.

I'm a computer repair tech. One of the first questions I'm going to ask is have you installed any new hardware or software? Most of the time I've found out software was the root problem of the issue. Not always, just Most of the time. So, it doesn't supprise me that he can see what is installed on your phone. It gives him a idea of what the problem can be. I would be more concerned what NSA or space aliens are doing with your phone.

[q] binary count back to zero

hey guys, i have a big problem and was wondering if anybody can help...
i have a n8013 that i bought from best buy and have their insurance, now what happened was that it accidently got dropped and now its able to turn but it freezes. it has custom binary count at 3 and i know i can remove it using mobile odin but since it freezes i cant even install mobile odin, therefore not being able to remove it that way. is there another way i can remove it? i can get into download mode, recovery and even boot but freezes
anybody know of another way? or do you guys think they wont check that?

wow, sounds like a difficult thing to do.
Well there is this triangle away app which i guess u cant use since the tablet freezes.
Why u dont try to flash a new custom rom there? maybe that helps it to boot compleatly.
or wipe data etc from cwm?
try them.
i dont think they work but give it a try. I dont think that there is any other way to reset the binary :/

Since you already dropped it make sure it's broke all the way. Not sure what best buys insurance policy is like but break it completely then the binary count won't be an issue.

I'm not sure it'd work for you but you could try downloading Dumpster from Google play. The only thing is idk if it recovers deleted files or it recovers files deleted after the app is installed.

Maybe you can email google and see what they can do in recovering data.
At least they would tell you if that sector has been overwritten or not.

[GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can!
sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus

The first thing to do would be to STOP USING THE PHONE. The more you use it, the higher the chance of the data being overwritten and thus unrecoverable. Remember, "deleting" something only marks it as available on the disk/flash memory.

http://www.icare-recovery.com/free/android-data-recovery-freeware.html
As above, if you carry on using the phone there's a chance you might write over the deleted file, any chance of recovery then becomes much more difficult, maybe even impossible. Try some of the software that's been mentioned above, if the files not been overwritten you should have a good chance of recovery.

correct as the past few posts say if you havnt overwritten that area of your internal storage where the video was saved you should no problem using some recovery tools to get the deleted information. I work as a security analyst doing forensics and e-discovery. I recommend the program r-studio to recovery deleted information. you will have to pay for it unless you can find a free copy on the internet.. lol but you can also get a trial of it which will let you recovery files smaller than like 1mb which might not help you but you can at least use the trial to determine if the video is recoverable.

You can also use diskdigger. The free version should do what you need it to

Thank all of you for your help. I tried several tools, with varying results.
Sadly I can't seem to get anything watchable back. I got a couple of bruises and my jaw still kinda hurts, but it's nothing permanent.
I got an app that can undo removal of photos and videos for the next time something like this happens, also I should be more carefull not to put myself in harms way again. People are unpredictable.

I have not. And I know who the hacker is. She is the mother of my kids and is about to loose custody of our 3 kids to me. She is also a bit coin miner that hijacks devices to do her dirty work.

She has been scamming me and harassing me for 9 months. Trying to get me to click on a fabricated email with script embedded. She finally got her way. Took her almost 8 months the of trying.
I most definitely have never installed any remote desktop server or clients but I know she has. I have found them and Uninstalled. Numerous times. She has been deleting recovery emails and adding saved passwords all day. And that's just today.

If she's such a pro, bring it to a real geek professional than relying on advice from forum. She might have copied it to some partitions which are not formatted by default.

Great. Here we go. She is now back on. Messing with this forum for me. I doubt you all can see it but she is doubling up messages and moving my screen around. Crap. Oh well. If you want to email me. It's [email protected]
I did 20 to 25 full erase factory resets in a row. Still was back after the last one. I have 2 other phones she is in and 3 laptops as well.

how can you say so, plz send some screenshot. I dont think she did anything ...

I'm not exactly sure what you would like to see for a screen shot. I am running on a drive that is obviously emulated on my screen and supposedly I have 43 sensors on a fold 2. Maybe that's counting all the drivers for the sensors on my phone to connect to her phone along with all the sensors on her device. I know for a fact that at one point she had my OS running on an s21. She told me I wouldn't be able to prove it. I'm too stubborn to give up. Lol. Here is 2 screen shots. One is my hard disks and the other is my 42 sensors.

Yup. Sure thing. Whatever you say. It's very much real. It's actually very crazy. No one on here has offered me any real input. I'm not making this up. It is very much real. And although it is extremely difficult to do it is possible. Especially for someone that can program on the run and has professional and commercial experience. It's all good.

I'm not sure how she would manage to get on a burner phone too. I'm pretty sure it's possible to hack into a router & infect devices connected to it if you're using the same wifi network. You could try getting a new router & a new burner phone & don't connect any other devices you may have to the new router in case they're infected. And don't open emails from addresses you don't recognize. I would suggest going to geek squad or something like that rather than a forum though.
Ando do a malware scan on any other devices you have if possible. If you have another way to connect those devices to internet like tethering, you could try Trend Micro housecall. It's a free online malware scanner.

How do you know you're being hacked?

Tough to take this seriously and as fact.
But if you are, why haven't you gone to the authorities?

First of all this is fold 3 section not fold 2.
Secondly leave the phone to local police and tell them your wife or gf is hacking into your phone and let specialist att police go through your phone and if they find it's true they will grab evidence out of the phone and then arrest her for suspicious of hacking and they will use evidence when interviewing her and asking her that they found traces of her hacking the person's phone and such. Not last but least if higher up person decides to is do house warrant at her home so they will go home to her take all of her computer stuff including tablets and phones as part of investigation and they will check through all of them.
If you keep reseting your phone you are getting rid of all evidence from her and she will have lower chance of being sued in court and sentenced to jail for her criminal behaviour.
These sensors comes from your hardware nothing she's doing lmaoz. All smart phones have these sensors
