I know we are all android fans, but I thought this was an interesting read. I know this is just a rumor, but it may have some credence. Microsoft is trying to defend mobile user privacy. Verizon is saying no, they would rather share your info to advertisers.. Makes me wonder about that last update....
Microsoft vs Verizon
Another article
I've come to the conclusion that the only way to minimize invasion of privacy is to not use electronics technology. Credit cards, cell phones and computers give thieves the opportunity to steal. I can't live without these so I opt out when it's convenient to do so and live with the risk otherwise. We don't really have much choice. The alternative would be too time consuming.
I wonder what others think.

I agree with that. I buy stuff on line, too. I used to be concerned, but haven't had a problem (yet).

Anyone who has ever entered information on the internet has left a digital fingerprint of one form or fashion. Companies keep all records for years, so if you bought something online, they still have record of it. Using a cell phone, law enforcement agencies can petition the company for which towers you were connected to during a given time, and if you have GPS enabled, that information as well, and use it against you whether you are guilty or not. Every text message, its contents, every phone call, and more is tracked and stored by your company for years, despite claims by the company to the contrary. I know a guy who had text messages subpoenaed by the court from over a year before used in his child custody case, despite the company saying it only saved them for a week. With smartphones, any app you download with the right permissions can steal all of your data, or utilize a known exploit and do it without the right permissions. There are apps which can prevent certain apps from performing functions you don't want them to, like access the internet or your GPS, but that's assuming it obeys the normal rules.
I've been working with computers for over 20 years and know the risk that revealing personal information can pose. I change my passwords every couple months, and for some sites, change my username on occasion. Every website you visit is tracked and stored by your ISP, and every download you make, including torrents, is tracked. I don't enter credit card data online, I'll pay someone the cash and get them to make purchases for me with their card if I need something. I don't reveal my real name or much personal information about myself, other than basic things like that I work and have kids. Your IP address is stored by almost every website you visit, and if you allow cookies you are being tracked by multiple websites across your entire internet experience until you delete them. All this may sound extreme, and it is, but it's all true. Now, is it really that bad? If you're not smart about it, yeah, it can be. I can name over a dozen people I know that had some form of identity theft or credit card fraud in the last year alone, some due to sheer stupidity, others due to bad luck.
Now, whose spyware is worse, Microsoft or Verizon? Microsoft forces you to make a new account when you have a new installation of Windows, generally leaving the default Administrator account created but disabled, unless you're savvy enough to enable the default Administrator account during installation and use that one as your primary account, thereby leaving the computer open to anyone with a Windows boot CD able to take over your computer with admin rights. While not technically spyware, it's a dumbass move. Verizon stores everything you do, every website you visit, every text you send, and then lies to you about it. Still, not technically spyware, but shady to say the least. Microsoft can remotely access any computer with Windows on it, even if you have it disabled, and now Verizon can access our phone, even if we don't want them to. Both claim they wouldn't use this without our consent, but how do we really know? Once again, bleak, but true.
So, you want to use the internet, but don't want your information stolen or used against you. How do you minimize personal information on the internet? Don't use your real name, don't use your credit card to make purchases, use a proxy server logged into another proxy server to prevent website tracking, don't text or instant message any information you don't want police to see, use the default administrator account on Windows with a password, preferably a 12+ character password with capital letters and symbols. Don't use the same username across many websites, alternate difficult to crack passwords and change them out on a semi-regular basis. Never store passwords on your computer! That's one of the biggest problems I've seen. Perform full-drive encryption on your hard drive, turn your computer off when not in use. Don't leave webcams plugged in when you're not using them, and just don't be stupid.
In our society, it's really difficult to not use electronics, and eventually something about yourself is going to come out. When you've been working with computers and their users as long as I have, it's hard not to have seen so many horror stories which spawned this post. Most people aren't going to have a problem which requires all that, but I've taken a largely preemptive stance toward privacy on the internet. If I Google my name, I get a few references in family tree websites, which don't really uniquely identify me, and am mentioned in a couple posts on a few websites, like a company I used to work for which hasn't updated its site in years but keeps paying for web services. While this type of severe privacy isn't necessary for most people, I've never had a single account hacked, never been a victim of identity theft/fraud, and still manage to enjoy myself on the internet. Sure, a Facebook with my real name and a picture of me wouldn't be the end of the world, but I just don't need that to continue enjoying myself. Randomly-named Facebook with a few close friends and family and a picture of the sunset from the beach in California I took last summer while on vacation with my kids are enough.
Sorry this rant has gone on so long. I just have strong opinions due to scenarios I've seen first-hand, and don't want that to happen to me. I guess I'm a privacy freak. lol. It's all your fault, Nyobie, you opened up a can of worms!

amen
You can now use TOR on your phone. Search for it in google play, or better yet, download the APK online without letting google know. I'm pretty sure root access gives you much more control as well. It will be the first addition to my new unlocked phone. We are living in an age where privacy is almost nonexistent. Entire personal lives are at our finger tips... Call me paranoid, but I just don't like being spied on or tracked. Proxify yourself. Use TOR + widecap. Learn how the internet operates. You never know who is watching..
Hello all,
In my circle of friends there was a suicide case and I was asked by the family if I would be able to remove a screen lock from a Samsung Galaxy S21. The family can't explain why their son killed himself and would like answers to all their questions. They assume that there is information on the phone or reasons for the suicide.
Are there any serious ways to get around such a block? I don't have much information about the device yet, nor do I currently have it with me. Maybe there are exploits or bruteforce toolkits to bypass the lockscreen. Programs like Tenorshare 4uKey or PassFab Android Unlocker are probably scam or?
I will get the device in the next week and could provide more information then.
Currently the following information is available:
Device Model: Samsung Galaxy S21 5G | Samsung SM-G991B | Android 11 | One UI 3.1
Mobile contract: active
SMS PIN & PUK: available
Google account credentials: available and valid and linked to the device but no backups available in Google Drive
Samsung account credentials: present and valid but not associated with the device so no backups available
Does the approach via Kali Nethunter and a HID keyboard attack work with a current Android Samsung Galaxy S21 bruteforcing or do you always get into the temporally increasing lock?
A data recovery $pecialist might be able to, ask the police for assistance.
Find the password for the lockscreen, or maybe through their Gmail or Samsung accounts, again passwords needed.
I think if they wanted you in the phone they would have unlocked it...

This is not a helpful answer.
The police in this country does not help in such matters if it is assumed that no outside influence was involved.
A data recovery specialist also only executes toolkits or exploits. I am also able to do this if someone gives me a hint which toolkits or exploits would come into question for this model. I work as a sysadmin myself and therefore I am not completely untalented technically. I just lack information about which approach would be the best.
This is a community of people who like to hack their phones, not hack into other people's phones... which is considered unethical.
Are you serious?
You really think it's unethical when a 21 year old boy takes his own life overnight and the family just wants to know why their son did it? Sure, the boy was of age at 21 and can do with his life what he wants. Nevertheless, any clear-thinking person can understand that the family wants to know why the son did that.
I have no bad intentions and I am only trying to help the family. This is not about hacking a stolen cell phone. Then I would just do a factory reset and use the phone normally and not write this post here.
Yes, well... be that as it may.
With a screen lock in place you can't simply factory reset as you still be locked out.
I believe my original response was valid. It's not an easy nut to crack... by design.
Hello, i own a phone repair shop and i'm a relation with a person specialized in unlocking phones. He said me that he can bypass the lock screen and keep data on all samsung phones and he can do it remotly. Being in this business i don't trust him a lot about keeping data. One of my customer's son is dead and his family want to access his phone, they gave me his phone and they are agree to loose data if things dont go good so i'm gonna try with this guy and if you want i will give you a feedback.
Hi sorry to hear that this terrible situation happened around you.
I am in a similar situation. My cousin died suddenly and his sister asked be to recover pictures and videos because he filmed himself before try to end his life and she would like to find if there is any video that could help us understand better.
I'm trying to find ways to do that and so far I haven't but I wanted to share some information in case it could be helpful to someone.
I tried the iMobie Data Extractor. It is supposed to help recover data from "broken phone". I guess it's the closest thing I found that didn't look scammy and could work. After about a month of back and forth with their support person, I managed to replaced the OS using Odin (because the official software left my phone in a non-bootable state) replacing all partitions except User Data. Unfortunately, that didn't remove the lock (PIN). I'm not surprised since I didn't wipe the User Data.
From a security perspective, it is good that it is hard (impossible) to access data of a locked phone, but from a family emotional perspective, it is hard to have to tell my family that I failed.
I wish you good luck and please post here if you find a way.
be safe

What happened
I don't have easy-to-hear information for you. But I offer these words as a way to think about this situation.
I believe Samsung intentionally builds phones which are extremely hard to break into. This is a conscious design decision they make. Why? Because so many users do things like credit card payments, banking, and social media, where, if you lost your phone and a bad person found it, an easy-to-break-into device would have potentially catastrophic results. Aside from the harm to a user who lost a phone, Samsung themselves would be subjected to great reputational damage, too. It's bad press when it's easy to break into and steal something.
Also, you may not be able to break into the device, even with the help of a commercial vendor. Exploits in Android, when found, are patched regularly. A very smart person might have had a way to crack into a phone last week, last month, or last year. But again, Samsung intends to continually patch the software to keep it secure. They make a point to telling people that Samsung phones are patched for several years, so users will feel confident their data will be secure.
One suspects certain governments have police or security organizations who likely could break in, but they are unlikely to help in a personal situation, as you described.
Although this doesn't seem to apply to you, it's worth saying that Samsung phones are also backed up (by default) to their "cloud." It's possible that a lawyer might be able, with proper documentation of the owner's death, to get access to Samsung's (or Google's) cloud backup(s). I don't think it's easy though. Google, at least in the USA, allows the owner of an account to specify how Google should handle their data if they stop accessing their accounts. (I think Google treats an idle account as "dead" and for reasons like this, if you no longer want to use a vendor like Samsung or Google, you should proactively delete your account, not merely let it go idle.)
Anyone reading this post, might want to consider having what can be an uncomfortable conversation with your friends and family: "How would you like your friends and family handle your electronic, financial, and social accounts in the event of your death?"
Please, forgive me if any of this sounds insensitive. My father worked in insurance and as part of his job he knew all to well that all people eventually die. And how hard it is for those left behind to pick up the pieces, especially when secrets are involved. My family knows where to find my keys.
My father passed a couple days ago and I need to gain access to his phone in order to invite all his friends to the service as well as get into contact with some family overseas.
He has a 4 pin code that I've been trying to guess but have not yet succeded.
I can provide proof that it is my fathers phone incase people believe it is stolen.
I can't get into his samsung account because it is basically his google account, I set up his google account with two factor authorization. Which requires me to get into his phone to even access.
Anything Helps

You can see his contacts in his Google account on a browser, but if he saved the contacts locally (which is annoying that many phones don't make it clear that contacts are saved locally only until specifying Google as the account to save to)
We have been through five phones -Samsung Galaxy, then Motorola, two internet providers two cell phone providers, made so many calls I have lost count. He uses Chromebook and a Motorola Droid phone. He has even hacked my old home phone, tv, you name it, he has tried to own it . Oh, I forgot-my home security and ring doorbells also. I can change an app permission and I can see him go right in and change it back. I am sure he lives close in the neighborhood How do I get rid of this horrible person?
He grays out permissions, default apps, etc., Which keeps me from being able to delete an app, or change someone being able to access in the background. He has confiscated our emails (Gmail), prevents us from sending or receiving ones he doesn't like. He uses email for email on the web, advertising, chat, and many other things. He listens to phone calls steals all photos, maps addresses to companies or people in contacts, uses maps for ?? Xxx an anyone help me, or at least tell me how to reverse graying out on apps? This has become unbearable! Thank you!
How do you know it's a he?
It's always the girl next door.
Lol! I cannot prove it, but the big gamers nextdoor moved in when this started happening. Their best friend is an experienced IT guy who only appears when I have gone in and changed things. In those days, new changes happen, such as Ring doorbells hacker, etc. Not blaming, but coincidence?

Sorry. See reply in post.
Bro, I'm so sorry. My husband has been going through this VERY thing for the past year. They don't mess with mine. I just wanted to let you know even though I don't have any resolve for you, I hear you and know that it's not phony and we totally feel for you. Seriously, maybe you and my hubby can talk.

This sounds like a great fan fiction and will bookmark this to see how the story develops. Thank you for putting this in Moto G Power section right where it belongs!
Sounds like you might need to invest in a router with better security features.

Why are you posting on XDA? If you are this convinced that someone has unauthorized access to your devices, you need to be talking to law enforcement. The best advice we can offer you is to change all your passwords immediately, enable 2 factor authentication, and if possible seek a restraining order. XDA is a smart device hacking and development community, not a private investigation service.

I didn't think you were a p.i. firm. Obviously, I am not tech savvy. A little kindness please? I simply want to know how to ungray grayed out app permissions. I have searched on my own and cannot find the answer. I have reported it to local police, state police, Motorola, Samsung, Verizon, Xfinity, metronet, on and on and on. No help from anyone. I don't have $2,500.00 to just put down a retainer for a p.i. I knew someone on this forum would know the answer I am searching for and might kindly tell me. Thank you.

Well, it can be hard to distinguish the difference between reasonable concern over privacy violations vs unwarranted paranoia, and you aren't the only one who's come to XDA with this type of story. Most of your assumptions are likely mistaken and can be simply explained by the nature of Android itself.
Remote intrusion of mobile devices is actually pretty rare. The most common ways bad actors get ahold of sensitive user information are: phishing, user-approved permissions on questionable apps such as TikTok, and "connected" social media accounts, where users allow websites and apps access to their social media profiles, or use their social media as a login.
Regardless, to the technical point of the matter, grayed out app permissions are not the result of hacking or surreptitious malfeasance, but rather the nature of the "rules" inherent to Android - you can't remove system apps or disable system-controlled permissions without root.
If you still think you have reasons for concern, this is my only suggestion:
Change your phone number
Immediately change all relevant passwords - minimum 10 characters, a mix of upper case, lower case, numbers, and special characters, do not reuse them
Enable 2 factor authentication on all accounts, ensuring your 2nd factor is something that you and only you have access to
Once done, sign out all devices signed into those accounts
Perform a factory reset on your device; even better, reflash factory firmware. Keep bootloader locked.
Do not use questionable apps
Recently had this phone given to me by a friend. Unfortunately, it was her kid's, and her kid cannot remember the pin, or what, if any protection she had on it, i.e. Samsung or Google, though, if any, I would suspect Google would be the one. Unfortunately, the friend is also locked out of her Amazon account right now (even Amazon's massive money still doesn't eliminate mistakes in their system), so getting details direct from Samsung that could help me out, if I had access to the receipt (I'm assuming, here, but reasonably, I think) is, for now, out, which very much sucks, because I'm presently using a dated LG, cannot afford anything at all (hence the donation of the phone), and Samsung is what I know, and am familliar with, and, in my opinion, with cause, as, from my (admittedly limited) experience, they are the most feature rich, and most customizable. What I am wondering is if there is a way to get around this issue with the limited access I have. I know there must be more than one way - it's been awhile (like s5 Neo awhile), but I've installed ROMS and "broken into" phones, before (no, not stolen!) - but I've used the internet in a far more limited way, for the last few years, now, and, since my elder days of tireless research and such, Google has changed dramatically, making it hard to find out anything, anymore, without sifting an ocean of clutter, and I don't know my way around, like I used to; internet and phone technology have both changed very fast, the past few years, and so, here I am. Any info needed, I will do my best to find out. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
