I think my phone has spyware!

Hi!
I have a HTC HD2. I was recently busted by the cops for some illegal drugs.
I was in arrest 3 days, and when I recived the phone it was fully charged! So I know they have been synced it and used it to find evidence. But I have quite more batterydrain than before(I belive. Maby I am paranoid?), so I am worried that they have installed a wire tapping program or something on it.
This is in Norway.
Is there any way to find out?
Can I hard reset the device and be sure that the syware is gone, or do I need to flash another ROM?
Thank you for answears!

akilles_, dude, no spyware is needed to track your calls and to track your current position Didn't you see any MOB movies? Use the street public phones to find the dope! Your mobile is like an opened book (and not only yours)
So I know they have been synced it and used it to find evidence.

So what's the problem - open ActiveSync on device and check partnership. Thus you will know that for sure....

Lol.
Just get another sim card and move to Amsterdam.

a hard-reset will do and get some sleep.

Either he's pulling someone's leg or the lining from his nose to his brain has been damaged by cocaine. . .

Not only do a hard reset, but get a new phone number & sim card!

I know that they lisening on my calls and sms from before. they have done that in almost a year. I also know they dont need spyware to do that.
But to use my phone as a mic in a room and lisening to my conversation to others in the room, I belive they need spyware. Thats why I ask.
sorry for crappy english writing. But U all know that dealers dont get education!

Dude, nevermind the language
Read this http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_hd2_leo_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
and perform hard reset.....
And better buy pre-payed sim and a new phone 'cause your IMEI is anyway traced by them through the provider's equipment
And - find yourself another business. Otherwise sooner or later you are in deep ****.

You need to get off meth your over the top paranoid. Take the plea bargain.

unless your dealing in millions or dollars worth of drugs i very much doubt the police are gonna spend 1000's monitoring your phone or making it into a listening device by using the mic to listen to your conversations ( it might happen in movies but the practicalities of doing it is different).
reset your phone , get a new sim and lay off the weed

Why we all discussing this and why havent the mods shut it? this guy wudnt know how to deal a deck of cards nevamind drugs and if he was (unless he's an idiot) he wudnt be shouting about it on the internet lol

[Q] Huawei H866C Question

Hello everyone!
I seem to have a big problem with my phone that I cannot figure out. I'm fairly good with phones and very good with PC, but this problem eludes me.
My Huawei H866C was working just fine yesterday until boom, system freeze. This happened numerous times and most of the time, all I was doing was looking around in the settings etc. My first gut reaction was to factory reset it.
So I did.
When it was done, the phone rebooted like it should, and there I found the "tutorial" screen.
I tap the green android and it proceeds to the next screen which has only one button labeled "Begin"
When I press begin, it immediately throws this error; The application SetupWizardEx (process com.huawei.setupwizardex) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Well, needless to say, I've many dozens of times with no success.
I recall a similar incident with my sisters motorola droid bionic, in which after a reset the phone wanted some carrier info before it would load the home screen and let you use the phone. With that incident, I was able to bypass it by touching all 4 corners of the touchscreen. I can't find anything like that to bypass this tutorial nonsense.
I know that the phone isn't bricked, because I never rooted it. Furthermore, I can still bring up swype keyboard settings by holding the menu softkey. From there, I can click a web link in swype help and open the browser with no wifi connectivity. I can go through browser settings, and swype settings. When I first turn the phone back on, I can even use the slide-down menu briefly before it takes away my access.
I was really starting to like this phone until now.
Is there any way to bypass this annoying tutorial so I can use the phone? Otherwise, I'm afraid my money was wasted.
I have included some fairly low quality pictures to try and illustrate my problem.
ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Well admins, you may as well delete this thread. It's helped no one, including myself. I'm just going to return the phone and get my money back..

And that's exactly what I did. My best advice? STAY AWAY FROM TRACFONE/NET10/Straight Talk at ALL costs! Sure, they give you cheap unlimited everything, but the phones are pure garbage. :good:

Moved thread please delete this. Ty

Moving thread .... don't believe its a sprint issue
I switched from sprint to T-Mobile. They screwed up and let us keep our old phones and did a discount for the hassle. I figure I don't need 2 S8's so I would just sell it. Welcome to my nightmare.....
So I factory reset the phone to get all my data off, I did this through the settings menu. No issues the phone reset. It was at the beginning new phone screen so I just left it and placed the phone on craigslist.
I get a buyer and we meet at the store. The lady who works at sprint and was going to verify the phone was not stolen starts the phone and asks me for the password..........huh?....
The phone is at a password screen and I have maybe 5 at most that I use various combos of, none of these work. She brings it over to the "techs" there are they say they have never seen this. I then apologize the the man who wanted to buy the phone and proceed home. I do some searching online and find out how to get into certain menus and do resets, and re-flash the stock rom. Even after those it wants a password.
I then think I'll just use find my phone with good and unlock it. Well it is a sprint phone and I have T-Mobile now so it has no connection, and I can't get past the password to get to the wifi settings. So google says it can't find my phone.
I contact Samsung and since it’s been less than a year they say they will help. I send in the phone and they send me it back with the crack on the back of the phone fixed and nothing else. I called and they said they have record of me asking for help with a password problem. I then ask if I can send it back and get that taken care of and they said it would cost 150$ because they fixed the phone......huh?
I really just want this password off the phone. At this point it’s a matter of I am more curious about finding a way to get it off the phone than selling it. I’m also open to all ideas. Taking it apart, flashing something third party on it.
If you need pictures I will get them up shortly. Or a video. At work currently, so I can probably reply in a timely manner. If you need more info please ask and I’ll try and get whatever you need
Thanks in advance

Country of origin - OnePlus Terms on first boot

HI all,
I am planning on buying a new phone soon - either OnePlus 8 Pro/8TPro or Samsung S20/Note 20 (when the latter are released)
Could any OP8 holders please confirm if this was indeed accurate?
If it's accurate, is there a way to avoid this?
Or we stuck on the stock firmware with the 'potential' data being sent off to home?

Hi,
This is a sensitive topic since it can become a little to political, but to keep it simple, OnePlus has never been caught doing something sketchy like that, not like Xiaomi or Huawei and other Chinese brands. But there's always this little doubt because Chinese GOV (not people, please make the difference) isn't transparent at all with its policy and relationship with phone manufacturers. So if this is really an issue because you work in a sensitive place in your country (research, administration, ...) then go for Samsung, because "we never know what could happen". But if you don't have anything sensitive to hide, trust me, Chinese secret services won't give a damn about your data lol.
We're not stuck at all on stock firmware, there are a lot of ROMs that are really good, and can be used instead of stock. I don't know if flashing a ROM deletes the issue tho, because what's a problem with spying is that you don't know where the leak come from, and if OnePlus where indeed spying us, they would've a solution that works even with ROMs since OnePlus let us easily and freely flash anything on our phones.
I'll end by saying that it's really a shame, because OnePlus phones are really good, and those trust issues can sometimes completely ruin the experience...
Also, your question is 100% legit, 20 years ago I'd say your paranoid, but now, with all the political background, you do better asking.
We're living difficult time for privacy since internet is so anchored in our lives...
If anyone want to post in this thread, please stick to the rules by not going full political. Just answer the question asked and put the least amount of political views in the answer. I tried to be as neutral as possible, do so please

Didn't read the full pic, sorry :silly:
OnePlus do have a data policy, here it is : https://imgur.com/a/daHRpSl

Question Corrupted firmware software

Purchased a sm-s908u 1tb model from Facebook marketplace earlier and on getting it home noticed it was very sluggish
Factory reset and hardware reset and noticed that non of the Samsung one ui settings were available in settings.
Then realised that there was no one ui elements at all! Seems to be badly running a vanilla android!
What are my options?
My first thought was to download firmware from samknows and hope that it fixes this very odd issue!
The phones still under warranty so I could always go down that route.

What phone is that supposed to be? Looks like a clone

It's not supposed to have rounded corners, you've been scammed

Nah its legit, the IMEI codes on the phone match with the box

I'm sorry it's fake it's not even the proper settings menu or anything

Scammer know how to do that. It’s all stolen, or faked. You have been scammed. Unless you can return it, your money is gone. if you try to use the warrant, you will be told the same thing.
another way I know it’s fake is a lot of these screens are clearly fake, not something Samsung would create, very ugly too. Look at the updator. Obviously fake. The toast in the second update picture has a grammer mistake too. And so does everyhtig in the updator. Read it again. And Google the real Samsung update screen. And real Samsung start up screen.

Can you get into recovery? What does it look like? If it really is legitimate, you might be able to load an official firmware, but who knows. What provider are you using? Are you using an e-sim? Says you are using slot 2.
The screen on a real S22U will be edge to edge, so I am afraid the others may be right.

100% fake.
Sorry mate

Don't order things like that from Facebook marketplace bro, that looks so fake

The welcome screen looks like Note 4 or 5. I'm sorry this happened. I don't know why people buy cell phones off Market

"The current version is the latest, not found the new version!" is the kind of broken English you would find in a fake phone.
And the SM-S908U only has one physical SIM, the other is eSIM.

Facebook is not your friend. Bad people reside there.

hello friend odin recognizes your cell phone if it is not false

Dial these two codes and see what happens
