Hi all
I am completely lost on this and am really hoping someone can help.
I was scrolling through my contacts recently and I saw a contact I have never seen before. All my contacts are linked to my Google account however his one was a sim contact. It had a picture attached to it of someone I have never seen, the name is not someone I know and when I went into the contact there us a US phone number and address (I am in the UK and do not have any contacts in the US. I have never interacted with this person in any way.
I have Googled the number and address with no luck, I have also searched to see if anyone else has had a problem like this and cant find anything. I have run a few virus scans and they have all come back clean. I have not installed any new apps as far as I can remember recently.
Has anyone else ever seen this before?
Samsung Galaxy S3, rooted, stock rom, Android version 4.1.2
Sorry, I am not usually one to bump but I would really like to get some ideas on this.

Yeah I'm sure whoever used it before is signed in to their Google account. Can you not send them a Gmail or something?

No its not "safe" to say you're the new owner. Not legally anyways. You need to take it to a Sprint store. They will be able to identify the owner.
If you don't do this, it will likely be considered stolen if you try and activate it without first trying to identify and contact the rightful owner.
If they can't identify the owner, or if the owner doesn't claim it within a certain period of time (after sprint notifies them), it might be yours.
I just upgraded my t-mobile (usa) sensation 4g to the new ICS 4.0.3. I have read a lot about the new People app replacing the old Contacts app, but my phone does not seem to have it. Only the older Contacts shows in the app drawer. Does anyone know if People was even part of the update? Is anyone using People on the 4g? Would someone that just recently upgraded their Sensation 4g (usa) to ICS take a look in their app drawer and see if it is listed.
Thank you very much!

Nope, I do not have the "People" app, still the old "Contacts" app from GB
Thanks Djc5581! Maybe that's just the way it was shipped. Odd that I haven't seen anything about people complaining about it absence. Reading the ICS reviews (not for the T-mo update) it seemed that it was a substantial change to the whole contacts approach.
Maybe someone else has heard something.
Thank you for taking the time to respond!

My AT&T One X is sending out three to ten copies of each text message pretty regularly. I'm also occasionally receiving duplicate messages. And now I've been receiving texts hours late.
Also, once I hit about 6000 total messages, the stock HTC Sense Messages app quit working, so I had to switch to GO SMS Pro.
I love my One X, but I need a phone with working text messaging.
Given that I purchased the phone two months ago, what are my options? Will AT&T let me exchange it for another One X or do I have to ship it to HTC? Since lots of other users are having the same bug will that even fix it? Will AT&T let me exchange it for another model?
It's still under warranty. If it's corporate att store they may replace it on the spot if they have warranty replacements in stock yet. My store did not but they overnighted one. Have you backed up and installed a ruu.? What have you done to try and fix it? That sounds software not hardware related.
Rooted? Unlocked? Custom rom? If so which?

There is already a thread about this. I'm pretty sure its a software problem considering different radios don't make a difference. After switching to aokp o haven't had the issue

It ls probably malware. Run lookout or wipe and reinstall a ROM

I'm not sure if "a lot" of people are having this issue. I (quickly) went through the linked thread, and it appears that 8 people (including you) responded to that thread indicating they were having the same issue. Of course there are probably plenty that have the issue that didn't read that thread, or even know about XDA. But my hunch is there are a heckuvalot more people with this phone (on this forum alone) that don't have this particular issue. But that's just my hunch, of course.
I'd say exchanging it can't hurt, and might solve the problem.
I've read various report from people whether AT&T will let you exchange for another model. Some people are told flat out "no" even after something like 8 defective phones of the same model. Other people successfully switched to another phone model. I think mostly, it depends on talking to the right person, being persistent, escalating the issue, etc. But I'd give a try exchanging for another One X first.
Having a large amount of SMS messages has always seemed to be an issue with HTC's messaging app. I'm sure you've heard it before, but do you really need to keep so many on your phone? You can easily back up all your SMS messages to Gmail for reference purposes, keep the more recent ones, and solve that particular issue.
First off, apologies if this is the wrong forum for this...
I've recently moved from the UK to Australia, today I used Chrome on my HTC One to visit Amazon.com (the mobile version of the site) for the first time since arriving. To my surprise the login details were already auto filled, no big deal, except that the details didn't belong to me. Part of the username has a number combination which is identical to part of my password. I logged in but not expecting it to work, but it did work. I am able to view the person's full details, they are neither UK nor AU based, they have a credit card on file etc.
Can anyone advise me on this? My phone is protected by a pin, and actually never leaves my side, so I'm 100% certain that no physical access was gained through my phone. Is this likely to be a problem with Amazon, or Chrome, or my mobile has somehow been compromised? I'm not a hacker and I haven't been attempting anything 'dodgy', I'm just wondering how this was possible.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks

Can you give us a little more detail ? I mean, did this happen more than once ? What network were you using to connect to the internet ? etc
If it just happend once it might be a glitch. (Maybe with the cookie ? )
I haven't re-tried it, I'm on the Optus network. Unsure where you're going with the cookie idea, why would my phone have a downloaded cookie with a random person's credentials stored? If this is a glitch then surely it's a huge glitch?

Please, someone help me out...Is there a way to tell times my tablet has been used. There have been a few instances where apps have been moved, things have been deleted and last night, I got on and I had 5 extra pages added. I didn't do it. And nobody else could have done it around me. Does anyone have any clue what could be going on? Is there some kind of master password for all products or something or could someone on Samsung's end be getting in, like someone working for them? This is getting semi creepy.
I will say its not samsung. What have you flashed lately? Any suspicious apps? Could be a bunch of different reasons. Could be someone hacked your gmail(unlikely) and is using it on their device. Change your passwords.
