lensta Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks for the advice, folks. I am not paranoid. In fact, I think she is probably not trying to spy on me, but I can't be certain without verifying. We have been together for 2-1/2 years, and I know her fairly well, but a lot of people have lived with and completely trusted their partner for far longer than that and then found out they have been betrayed. That is not news to anyone here. Not that I think tracking me is really a betrayal. [/quot Go buy exactly the same phone, sell the one that she bought and use the one you bought.

DGS1244 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 is she spying on me? http://www.android-keylogger.net/category/android-keylogger/ Yes. She is. Go to settings / Backup and Reset ...and punch "factory data reset" Start from scratch as if it was a new phone. Doesn't change the IMEIN though, nothing to do with Sim card.

banglassie Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) It amuses me to see the kind of relationships some people have here (as well as how some people think in response).How could so many end up with someone they can't trust? I wouldn't stay a day...My wife is 3 years older than me, but we are both in our 30's. Never had any problems with suspicion. And we both have about the same economy, so be both give about the same value of gifts, and even if that would not be the case I would not care, since it's about the fact that someone wants to buy something for you (or you for her), if that rises suspicions then obviously something is wrong...

peterb17 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If you wear your tin foil hat at all times, will stop the pesky app - and of course stop you being abducted by aliens. Why on earth can't you appreciate the gift from your gf- it might have taken ages to save up for this present. On the other hand maybe you should think carefully about your relationship- its totally obvious from your OP that you are cheating on her- maybe she deserves better? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasun Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 A bit paranoid I reckon. And since when do people give such extravagant gifts for New Years? What did she give you for your birthday, a car?

RBOP Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Just look at what apps are installed. Google and many other apps track you. You can change this in the settings. I would recommend you buy the book "Samsung Galaxy for Dummies" or similar book or read up online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how241 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 leave it at home when you go out, problem solved +1...Good idea. Also you could buy a cheap phone for those 'out-n-away' days so you won't be phoneless in case of a emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sead Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 1: Make a new google account in your name ofc. 2: In phone go to device info and do a factory reset. 3: Be sure the simcard aint registered in her name. If it is buy a new one or change it in your name 3: Register the resetted phone with your new google account. Thats it.. She can track you if the sim card or the google account is in her name.

billphillips Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 When you go out .... Hand her the phone and explain that you don't want her to think that you are making secret calls / SMS etc. alternately redirect the number to your other phone and leave the suspect smartphone with a friend.

All cells with operating system ...android or iPhone have tracking apps. The iPhone also has a tract for stolen/lost cells. The op is about more. Its about someone knowing where you are and everything from reading your SMS and emails. This was initially designed for parents to monitor children. I suggest the op do this. Detect if cell has app installed. ( easy) ..if so DO NOTHING. Use that cell to type lovely messages about your gf and have a second cell to do what you want. Same as poker...play cards close to chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Rest the phone if you want. It is in SETTINGS .> MORE right down at the bottom I would doubt if she was tracking you unless she has reason to. Does she have reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Tell her than you very much for the lovely gift. Then take it to TukCom or MBK and trade it for a new iPhone 6 (2 sizes to choose from). Won't cost that much to upgrade and you will definitely like the phone much better, as the user experience is night & day. Then you will not have to worry about the tracking issue. P.S. Do not give her the password to your iTunes account under any circumstances. If she asks about the phone, just tell her it was nice, but you much prefer the iPhone, so you changed it. End of Story Love your joke! Trade down to overpriced iPhone and stupid "lock you in sucker" ecosystem! It would be far cheaper to reset the phone to factory settings, perhaps get an additional sim card (if you got some naughtiness planned) and DO NOT FORGET TO TURN OFF GPS tracking!

Friendly Stranger Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Lucky guy unlike 90% of the guys here you got something from her instead of having to give her gold and other stuff and not getting anything yourself. As others stated factory wipe of phone and reinstall will do it. Probably why he's thinking this. What, you're giving me a gift?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimesh Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 if its a new phone, simply reset it to factory settings if you are afraid It depends on how paranoid you are - if the phone can be rooted, it's quite possible to install apps on it in a way that will survive factory reset - basically, all you need to do is root the phone, install the app, move it from /data/app to /system, unroot it and do a factory reset. The next time someone turns in on, they get the standard out-of-box experience - but the app that was copied to /system is already installed, and will remain installed even if you factory reset it again. You need to reflash the phone to actually get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poweratradio Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Wipe the phone, and reload the operating system. Or just be faithful... :-) After you have wiped it, if the following week she asks you if your phone is ok, then you will know she put in tracking software. What nonsense is this. I actually asked mine to install it so we could track each others phone if lost. These posts here sure suggest infidelity is running rampant in Thailand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extorting money without appearing to do so, having multiple Facebook accounts, juggling half a dozen boyfriends in the same day and remembering which phone to answer in which voice is more up their street.
