Hi, since your phones are Samsung I believe the app is related to Samsung Smart Tutor. So if you have deleted it don't worry as it is just an app to help you use your phone by allowing an assistant to show you how to.
Hope I could help :fingers-crossed:

Thank you so much for your quick reply hopefully you are right so thank you once again for your help

[Q] Random Device showed up in Google play

Hello Everyone!
So today I went online to the google play store to download an app, and noticed there was a random device (Samsung GT-I9300) showing up in the drop down menu. I went to device manager and it says it was registered 4 days ago with T-Mobile. There are a number of issues with this:
1) I'm on Telus
2) I don't own a Samsung GT-I9300.. I only own an htc one and nexus 7.
Both my htc one and nexus 7 show up in the list just fine, but there is still this random phone connected to my account. Should I be concerned? And if so, what should I do? Is there a way to remove it, not just hide it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Did you edit your build.prop to try and change which device the Play Store thinks you have?

No, I've never done that!

Then unless you've given access to someone knowingly, it would be a good idea to change your password.
I suppose you can contact Google after doing that and ask for more information.

Yeah I already changed it.. Thanks!
This recently happened to me and freaked me out too. Until I did a bit of research and backtracked my timeline a bit. Turns out it was Bluestacks on windows. So if you recently installed and logged into your google account on the bluestacks player, this is the device that will be added.
I hope that helps any other future googlers

[Q] Just "Server Error" on Google Play

My mother is using spice coolpad mi-496 (http://www.gsmarena.com/spice_mi_496_spice_coolpad_2-5865.php) this phone is mentioned in this threat "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532192".
It is a cheap Indian brand phone. I myself owes HTC wildfire buzz.
well first of all i am not a new to android. i knows many things like basic troubleshooting and all that.
well directly coming on the issue. I am unable to open the Google play app on this phone. I registered two brand new id's on this phone but still in vain i am unable to get any solution. I even completely wiped everything twice before making those id's but each and every time i get the same error "server error"..
well i try to sign in on the Google talk but in vain i am unable to log in there also. i cleared number of times the data of Google play services and play store and manually tried to installed a updated version of play store but then it gives error connection no available ".
well i don't think there is something left when i clear whole phone and tried to register with new id's. i tried many troubleshooting threats on xda those are getting problems but i nowhere getting any solution so i decided to start a new threat. well i even can't root the phone because still is 1 month old and it is warranty. so want to retain it. i tried to took the logcat from the phone. i have it but i don't know whether it contains any sensitive information so unable to share it here. well are there any solutions for this issue.

Hi, if you installed the wrong google apps, that could be a problem. if you understand what i mean? You need to get the google apps for specific Roms if you have a custom rom. Search on xda forum for them. Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 :good:
I can not give you the links to external websites, but search for "gapps".
:good::good:
That happened with my galaxy s4, i've flashed wrong gapps and could not login to my account.:crying:
now i'm good after searching the answer on web with the help af xda forum.:good::highfive:
well the phone is non rooted

well yeah i know what you are talking about but the phone is non rooted and it is in warranty
. so i didn't did anything with it !!!
well, then i do not know what have you to do with that. try to go in the shop where is the phone from and speak with stuff from there.
Sorry for misunderstanding you.
Try factory reset (copy all your data to PC before that). If it still makes troubles, bring it back to service.
Well yeah

i dont know the app you mentioned, but im guessing if you go into the system app folder, you probably would be able to see it there, and delete it.
EDIT: i looked into ispyoo a bit, try dialling
#4779*
and see what that gives you.
or check out this page

Thank you very much for reply. ))
But the app isnt showing in system folder too. That number is not working either. you can see how they trickfully said on that website "(Once iSpyoo is installed you will find a new icon on your phone. Or to make dial #4779* to open iSpyoo.)"
They dont want users to remove it easily.
But we know its there, because he got email confirmation of ispyoo is activated. And whatsapp conversation word files are being created automatically..

well its an app, so it definitely has to be somewhere. you can try /device>data>app, thats where user apps are, it might be there. failing that, i would download es file explorer and go the topmost folder, that contains all other folders, and search for all apk files, it probably will find it. if it dosent, search again with ispyoo as the saerch keyword, if tthat still hasnt found it use recovery to totally wipe the entire device.
or just ask the person who put it on to remove it.

Hallo
They have option to login to the website with usersname and password, and then go to uninstall option. It gets uninstalled from there to your phone.
We cornered the guy!!, and then he(scared) removed it using the users name and password he signed up for it. (A legendary old method for app solution!)
It even had option to disallow certain apps, or stop apps in the target phone. Do you believe? Now all good.
Thank you for your concern and help )
see you

Hello bro, were you able to remove it from iphone? I had no idea... may be you reset the iphone? I hope something worked for you.
so, question still remains, how do you check the program is installed or not if it is hidden?
To check if the app is installed or not (while its hidden) you should have root access in your phone. Open the root directory and system folder and search for the installed apps. In this folder you will see all the installed apps on your phone wether they are hidden or visible.
Btw these days not only the syping apps are spying on users but even the utility or gaming apps spy on users via microphone or taking screenshots of device display to collect data and show revelent ads to them.

All I can say is that my settings and everything on Milk (a Samsung-only music streaming app) carried over simply by logging in.

[Q] how to check privacy violations?

Hi guys,
First of all sorry for my English lol
I know it's a strange question, I'll try to explain me better
I have a tablet provided by my company for my work as agebt/seller with all company stuffs, it has a normal Android original rom, ita a galaxy 10.1 gtn8000 with Android 4.1.2
Im allowed to use it for my personal use (they said go on youporn but not when u are working lol) but I'm forced by the company to use my private Gmail account to use playstore, so my mail are both on phone and tablet, they shouldn't watch at it because of privacy but I have many reasons to think they do it constantly, tablet has remote control enabled due to let theme install updates of working stuffs
Well how can I check what they do when access to my tablet? I googled so much but I only find ways to check if gf is cheating lol I need to see what they do on my device hehe
Any advice? Any program that records screen when I'm not using it (usually they do updates at night time
Thanks a lot to everyone
A little bump hoping in some ideas
