How to remove tracking files from my phone? ( Mobile Tracker ) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Two days ago I repaired my phone Samsung Galaxy S3 at the store. day after while I was using the phone I noticed massage telling me that there is a file called Mobile Tracker that could threaten your phone security, by mistake I closed the popups message.
But then I went to Settings>Application manager> All, and found this app !
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it has accessibility to every single thing on the phone !!
I tried to make a factory reset but didn't solve the problem, how I can remove this file? or at least make sure that its not active.

I believe it's some anti theft service so you can track your lost device. Permissions may be because of remotely controlled stuff, like factory reset and stuff. Not 100% sure about this, but that's what I think.

Is there a way to see if its active or not? I mean if there is someone who is connected with my phone through this file ?
Thank you for your replay

The weird thing that its not taking any space on the device, not even a bit !

Here is the message that I keep receiving

Screen lock: none - disabled by remote phone administrator?

So just yesterday I decided to put a pin on my lockscreen, and today I decided that its a bit too annoying for me to keep, so I tried removing it. However, it then gave me this:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've looked around for solutions, and most seem to point to corporate accounts linked to their phone. Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to me as I'm just a university student. I did try rebooting my phone, and removing my uni email in case that had anything to do with it, but it didn't change anything. I'm on KE7, vodafone uk and my phone is rooted.
Anyone else have this problem?

Check your Settings->Location & Security->Select Device Administrators and uncheck any administrators.

Hello,
I am facing the same problem, i just flashed to a custom ROM 2.2.1 and now i can only access my email when i disable swipe.
The solution to remove the admin allows me to enable it again; however it disallows access to my email!!!
Is there anyway to keep it how it was before? Swipe + email at the same time?
Thanks,
Achraf

Try installing a virus scanning app from the market to see if it finds the culprit. Otherwise backup important apps/data, wipe and flash a fresh ROM. Not 100% sure if flashing a new ROM removes the virus but its worth a shot.

I would use a different rom as well and see if it stops.

[Q] alot http requests from my phone

Hey everybody, i hope you can help me.
I've a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 rootet and since 2 weeks with CM11 M7. I use the Tool Reverse Thetering from this thread Link while at work to have some kind of internet on my phone.
The tool shows all kinds of up and downloads. After flashing my Phone with CM11 M7 i used the tool again and noticed that after 2 minutes in standby my Phone starts to do a lot of http connections. (See 2nd image). I know that the phone updates all the messaging and mail apps but with stock rom ist wasn't that often. In normal conditions the requests look like this in standby:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But after around 2 Minutes the Phone starts to request some http adresses all the time and it doesn't stop. This looks like this for example:
(Sorry for the big image)
Unfortunately i don't know if the phone does this only when using Reverse Thetering or also when i'm online with wifi or gsm. I can only see and chek it with reverse thetering.
I've bought Kaspersky Internetsecurity and tryed other apps from avg or avira to check my phone for a virus or similar bot non of them found something (i used each app on its on with only on app installed at the time)
I'm not an expert but it looks like my phone could be infested by some kind of botnet or similar but i'm not sure. Has anyone a idea what this could be and how i could stop it or get rid of the whatever i have?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Infected with malware via chrome

Hey guys.
When I was exploring the Internet via chrome my phone has been infected. The new tab opened by itself, phone started to vibrate and page said that my phone is infected and that I should download Antivirus (but this page was similar to other pages with slogans "YOU WON 100K$ CLICK HERE etc.) so I ignored it. Now after every call (only then) Clean Master is saying that I already installed "Games " so I can delete apk file. Sometimes I press YES or sometimes I press No and sometimes it appear on desktop as game (last time it was yahoo logo) sometimes it doesn't. Clean Master Says That is malware with ".bf" extension. I tried every AV, even Avast didn't find anything. I tried also looking for this file by my self but no results (CM Antivirus also find nothing) . (gonna add name of virus for better tagging)
NAME OF VIRUS:
Android .Troj.tb_downloader.bf

I think that is ads... Btw to be safe you can always format your phone, be sure backup your data and contacts.. If you are rooted use adblocking software.. If not use browser which supports adblocking features..there are many in playstore

Do you have Google's device manager enabled? You could change your's password there https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager

The last version of Android where you could remotely change the device password if you got locked out of your phone was Kit Kat.
The only time I've heard of an update making the device stop recognizing the correct password is when a custom recovery is being used that can't properly decrypt data in which case the owner could boot back into TWRP and reformat the device memory.
In this case it sounds much more like somebody with a stolen phone trying to bypass the security set up by the legitimate owner.
As far as I know helping somebody do that still gets you banned from XDA.
If the OP here is the legitimate owner then there is probably a hardware problem with that phone and he should get it serviced under the warranty.
It's probably a script that's poorly written. Not necessarily the update.
