This is very serious, I recommend you to explain it to the police, depending on where you are, this case will be solved in more or less time.
An investigation will be opened and hackers face pretty high charges. And tell them you get followed, that they know your location and everything. I hope not but it may get worse, you may wanna consider the idea of them being real criminals (like burglar, or worst like kidnappers or something). Please go to the police. When someone takes the time to follow you and go around your house it's maybe because they try to know your schedule or something. Once again, you won't find suitable help here, please call the police and ask them for protection.

I have a very unique situation.
I dropped my phone in the trash at work(IT Company), accidentally one day, and a small amount of disturbingly gross liquid managed to make it's way into my phone.
I wiped it down, made sure it didn't smell like crap - etc.
Everything worked FINE at first, I said ah, good. Apparently it was not not good.
Now, the phone gets stuck in a loop where it thinks to itself it's charging for a second, then it's not, keeping the screen on and flashing the charging notification repetitively until it decides to stop for an hour, then come back.
Radioshack screwed me over BIG TIME on my phone insurance, I filed a ripoff report etc, and given I need my phone for work related issues I really cannot afford to have any downtime having it be sent in and repaired. NO, I cannot receive an immediate replacement, and NO, I cannot afford another phone.
So, therefore I come to you, my great friends at XDA.
I've a fairly decent background in programming, I understand the just of it. I've taken classes in ASM(Microcomputer Architecture and Programming), C/Java and Python.
And no, I'm not a college-fed programmer, I've been programming in VB, C/C++, PERL etc. since I was 13(22 now.)
So, to the specifics:
My phone is a Samsung Transform Ultra, Android 2.3, rooted and running a "ROM" if you could call it that, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference(just installed it to get rid of CIQ)
Now, I've never wrote a mobile app before but I have the android SDK (1.6-4.0), and I'm fairly certain I could get a hello world going in a matter of minutes.
I'm willing to do the research myself, I just need some good pointers and some people who might be able to answer a few questions along my journey, and when the app is done I will be releasing it in full, yes, to you XDA.
Programming costs time, replacing the phone costs money. I have more time than money.
Best regards!
Bump.
Any help on this issue would be GREATLY, GREATLY appreciated as this is quite possibly the most angering issue imaginable.
I don't know if this will help, but I had a similar problem with my galaxy S. It turned out to be a tiny piece of silver paper that had managed to get into the micro usb slot. A quick shake later and problem solved.

One maybe possible solution maybe... (free app) (need root)
Hardware Disabler
The though is, in order to stop that you are going to have to disable the actual USB port. You are going to have to play around and find out what driver corresponds to that USB port ... good luck, let me know if it helped.
(Yes I made that app)
First off, I want to thank everyone who has posted about rooting, removing bloat and overclocking, my poor old OG droid is now twice as fast as stock and the tweaks were as easy as eating Skittles on the couch. Oh, and I loved the newb video, and after reading this site for a while I think it may not be harsh enough.
Anyway, I have had an idea for an app that I have searched extensively for, and have not come up with anything even close. I'm no coder, barely understand the concept, so I submit this idea to the community in hopes that if you like it, someone will write it, and it will be good. All I ask in return is that I don't have to pay for it later, if it goes viral.
Recently the driving laws of my home state and many others have changed, and the exact wordings differ greatly. In Nevada, the wording is such that I can answer my phone and talk on speakerphone, as long as I can do so in one button push. And before you say the word "blue-tooth" leme remind you how much battery power that takes, realize I use this thing constantly for business and can't afford a new device or devices. Plus, I only have one power outlet, and would have to charge my mp3 player (much more song storage than my phone, and no interruption from calls or lack of service out in the boonies) my phone and then a blue tooth headset. Talk about a distraction while driving!
Now, on to the idea in question. When the phone is in sleep mode and the phone rings, I would have to unlock the screen, answer the call, and push 'speakerphone', and this(according to the letter of the law) is illegal while driving in the great state of Nevada. After reading this I got to thinking (and that can sometimes lead to dangerous actions, so after putting my special thinking helmet on...) this is what I came up with.
The camera button doesn't have a function while the screen is off, at least not that I have found on my phone. Also, when receiving a call, the camera button does nothing. In fact it doesn't do anything on my phone unless I'm on the home screen.(and I changed that auto-run feature of the camera so I wasn't taking 15 pics a day by accident, now it only works when I'm IN camera) So, my thought is to tie the camera button in with answering a call directly into speakerphone, without unlocking the screen and pressing 2 buttons. This makes answering my phone while driving legal, and much, much safer. Instead of 3 actions, now I have only one, taking a third less of my focus off the road. Plus, I don't have to look around for a cop before answering an important call, or pull over to the side of a busy highway to avoid a ticket.
This seems like a no-brainer to me, I just don't know the first thing about coding or writing apps, other than I don't know jack about coding or writing apps! Wish I did, as I think this could be a very helpful app if done correctly. I'm a gear-head, so If you wana talk cars we could talk all day, but I only know smartphones by what I have read in the last few months. Granted, I am VERY interested... (See: Staying up all hours of the night reading about the subject and writing posts! LOL)
Leme know what ya'll think. I can take criticism, even insults, just don't call me stupid. I'm always coming up with hair-brained schemes, and every once in a while, this blind squirrel does find a good nut or two.

send pm to mod for moving thread to right froum.
Hi all, woke up this morning to an interesting message that had been typed in a reply box on a forum that I visit(fell asleep with a thread open, but did not hit reply). It's kinda difficult to decipher, unsure if it was purposely typed this way or glitched ..but the main points I noticed are "look what I can do within your browser" and at the bottom something like "you do not want to get in the way".
Factory reset phone without backing anything up, no SD card on Nexus 5 so no worries of anything malicious hanging around, and changing passwords to every account I have. Anything else recommended? Oh and of course AVG found nothing when scanned. Below are pictures of the message and running processes at the time(sorry had to attach, not enough posts to link directly). "Brokered fitness service" stands out to me the most, no idea what that could be. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything like this, any input is appreciated.
Do you live alone? Is the door to your room locked? Because someone could have walked in while you were sleeping and typed all of that.

In a hotel on a business trip, did get pretty hammered the night before with some co-workers and left my phone at our dinner table for maybe 1 minute while going to the bathroom. That was my first thought, but no way they would have enough time to think of and type that. Phone has a lock on it as well. Left my phone on the open WiFi all night(came in and passed out, didn't realize it was connected, VPN off), co-workers are very capable of exploiting anything on this open network but I just don't see them doing it, pretty sure we all came home and passed out.
Thanks for bringing that up though, I had ruled them out but now I'm going back over the timeline. If they had time to do it, they certainty would lol.
Well, it certainly looks like it was typed by someone who was drunk lol.
My first inclination it's a prank.

Suggestion...1) Stay sober. 2) Stay sober around co-workers. 3) Never trust co-workers 4) Never trust co-workers that stay sober, when you're not.
Thread Closed.
In March, my sister in law and I found out that we were being “followed”, and that “someone” had it in for her and that her car was marked and there were/are pictures and videos of the both of us. Not too long after we were warned about that, she found a flash drive that was blinking in the computer at her home and took it and went to work and plugged it in and it was recordings of conversations we had in her car. To narrow it all down quickly, her husband was tracking her car, hacked into our cellphones and my home laptop computer, I also had found a recording device under the daybed in my bedroom. I had realized that things looked different in my home when I would come home and once my neighbor across the street told me my dog was out and that he chased him down and put him back, -there is NO WAY he could have gotten out unless someone opened the gate. A spare key was in our garage for our son in which his brother would come in while we were at work (our thoughts is to retrieve the device download it and put it back), but nevertheless we were invaded, seemingly for over a year. So I am trying to find out how to find if I am still being hacked (cell and laptop), how to block help myself from being hacked again, how to protect my wifi (i got my own separate one from our house one), and how to make use of the programs I have purchased as a result of being stalked in such a manner.
I now am in constant paranoia over my electronics and I need help. I have several questions to cover a variety of areas dealing with this situation and I truly and desperately need help. I have downloaded tutorials and have familiarized myself with some things, but I would like to speak to an expert.
If you can help please message me.

If it is someone that is close to you, such as your sister in law's husband, it's gonna be hard because they have direct access to your hardware. The only thing I see fixing this situation is to involve law enforcement or some kind of measures to physically keep them away from your hardware. It's virtually impossible to protect the hens from the fox when the fox is inside the henhouse with the hens. It only works when the hens are on the inside and the fox is on the outside, if you understand what I'm saying.
Your biggest security threat in what you describe is a physical real world one, not an electronic or software one.
If he knows what he is doing and has physical access to your hardware, software and electronic safety measures won't help you because he could just bypass it.
If your issue was someone from the outside that doesn't have physical access to your hardware THEN software and electronic measures would give you a decent safety net. But in your situation I seriously doubt those measures will help you any.
Focus on the real problem.....HIM.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
Recently I found that someone close to me had been using a purchased spy prog. Thanks to Google alerting me that unauthorized login and sync occurred.
I quickly recognized the phone found the program and cancelled their membership since I originally made the account/email address for them and they told me what password to use. But somehow that phone has continued to sync from their phone.
To this point I've been being safe; I've been messaging or texting lies along w/ truth. Yet somehow all that information makes it back my a simple slip up of words by the other 2 ppl in house. They accidentally repeat in general something I mentioned in text/fb message/phone call/information/etc.
I've literally deleted everything I could find that was left after factory reset. (EVERY FILE!!) I had root and end up with a virus I couldn't remove & didn't want to factory reset. The virus took over screen and no matter what I couldnt get it off. In the end, only way phone company could get it off was access with use of a computer & prog to factory reset. While talking it updated from 6.0 to 7.0. So I'm going to have reroot.
QUESTION FINALLY: How to can I emove the hack or exploit ( or whatever it is) that is reporting or cloneing everything word & information? Yes, I've tried every possible virus/spy pro/spyware/malware/hack/exploit detector remover I read about. PLEASE advise.
The person( I suspect) is currently charged with domestic violence w/ prejudice, I cannot drop the charges they won't allow me. Due to it being domestic violence against someone disabled (me).
**SIDENOTE/QUESTION FOR LAWYERS. The Person was somehow released without bail and i was ordered to leave the house with literally NOWHERE wheelchair accessible to go?? The reason, I suspect snitch (for lack of better word), the Magistrate had already set the bail then a judge on SATURDAY OF A HOLIDAY WEEKEND changed it. Also its hand written, dunno whose initials are on it cant read them. I've NEVER nor has my victims advocate heard of that. I pay slightly less than 3rd of whole house payment accord to other person on the mortgage. I do not qualify for disability only pathetic SSI. The person is more than likely trying to find something negative on me. They have threatened to have me evicted untold times! Im an entirely different person after nearly dying 2 times and was close a 3 rd. That along with being on a ventilator 3 times...if that doesnt change someone you have a serious problem on and finally being in a wheelchair. All caused by a neurological disease. Might I mention I found an old sound recorder that goes with a spy cam according to one specialist and one genius old friend (haven't found hidden cam.YET!) in my room. I do *man* things in the room I pay for. Thought it was illegal to record with sound. Hell or without a person knowing considering by law I'm a tenant**
The person is beyond clueless about technology but their brother worked for govt many yrs ago installing, none other than CAMERAS. He now prides himself as being a computer expert & dev.(he's not bad). He knows LINUX exceptionally well.
Quick Question...should I go ahead with rooting or wait?
PLEASE HELP AND IF POSSIBLE FIND THE FOOTPRINT HE MIGHT HAVE LEFT BEHIND. PRIVATE MESSAGE ME IF NEED MORE DETAILS ON PHONE INFORMATION OR IF A LAWYER (I live in TN)
Galaxy S7 with exynos chipset.
Did have root until att updated after
removing weird virus. Will Root soon.
