I think my phone is being bugged

My wife and i feel that her father is tapping into our phones. He is an experienced ham radio operator and has a degree in electronics. is it possible for him to do this????? At times you can hear a empty space in the background when you are talking to someone. Sounds like the old party lines back in the day for those who remember that.

Hi protectmykids,
Please be assured that Verizon Wireless has safety measures and technology in place that make tapping into your phone an impossible task.
If you believe that anyone has altered your phones in any way, I recommend performing a Factory Reset to bring phones back to their original settings. Doing this will reset any alterations performed to your phones.

  • IOS 7 allows my ear/cheek to hit Mute on phone calls - a bug?

    I recently upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 5.  Now, when I am on a phone call, I discover that my side of the conversation is muted due to the buttons on the phone application being too over sensitive to touch.  In iOS 6, I NEVER had this problem.  I have seen other users complain about this annoying "feature" of iOS 7.  There are some wonderful new functions and features in iOS 7, however, this is a major problem, as I do all of my business with my iPhone 5.  I
    cannot afford to have my clients think I've hung up on them.
    Please fix this mess, along with the terrible new User Interface features Apple has added in this new iOS.
    Thank you.

  • HT1349 What is a captive session and a crash reporter? I think my phone may have been compromised and information stolen, is there anyway from the diagnostics log to find out?

    What is a captive session and a crash reporter? I think my phone"s security may have been compromised.

    ok thank you. I was talking to a IT security forensics person and they told me that there is a devise that plugs into your charging area and looks like a flashdrive that can bypass your password and download all of your data even deleted text messages from the hard drive in your phone.
    he had the ability to have access to my phone all night.
    is there a way he couldve jail broke my phone to hack into it and then un jail break it.
    I was also told that if he used a mac computer he couldve done this through itunes and there is a way to find the trace of my data being extracted on my iphone and will also give mac address that they pulled the data onto.

  • Will touch id stop my phone from being stolen and hacked into to bypass pin

    will touch id stop my phone from being stolen and hacked into to bypass pin. a friend of mine said that if he found my phone he could plug it into itunes and retore it to new and earase the phone and keep it as his own. the only reason  why i would get the iphone 5s is because of the touch id only if it would make the phone useless to anyone who has my phone besides me and would not be able to hack into it. i like my iphone 4s and that was ther reason why i didnt get 5. but 5s would be a good by for me if anyone could let me know if touch id is the solution to phone theft. I think itunes should have a password in order to access the phone anyways. also is apple going to use landscape mode anymore. it seems like more and more apps are fading away form this but i have big hands and landscape mode is a lot more comfortable in my hands. I dont see why i could enable a landscape mode for my home screen layout and all the other apps that i would like to use my phone sideways for. thanks

    Change your Apple ID in Settings/Messages, certainly. As he is your ex I would also get a new Apple ID for purchases, although this will mean you will have to buy any apps purchased using his Apple ID all over again.

  • I think I've found a bug... (CS 4 6.0.4, export to EPUB, w/ test case)

    Hi everyone,
    I think I've found a bug. I suppose I would like to see if others can reproduce it - I've managed to on 2 work machines, but the more the merrier. I suppose I'm also hoping that giving this bug more exposure will increase the likelihood of it getting resolved. I can dream
    The bug shows itself when exporting an InDesign document (or book) to "Digital Editions", or as an EPUB file. The InDesign source needs to have a Table of Contents, and this TOC has to be used by the EPUB to create TOC entries (see the "contents" tab of the export window). In certain cases, using the InDesign TOC causes the EPUB export to garble certain characters; unicode-specific characters, in my experience.
    Steps to reproduce:
    Create a new document, add a blank text frame and fill it with placeholder text. add a heading to this text frame, styled appropriately.
    Create a table of contents, using the heading style you defined and used previously.
    Add some unicode characters to the end of your text frame. I've been using "bêche-de-mer — a genus", which has 2 unicode characters. My tests have shown about 1715 characters in the text frame is enough to trigger this bug.
    Save the document and export to digital editions. under the "contents" tab, check the "include indesign TOC entries" option.
    Open the EPUB (or unzip it and view the xhtml content). I would expect to see "bêche-de-mer — a genus" at the end. However, I see something more like "b√™che-de-mer ‚Äî a genus" instead. I do see the correct output if I don't check the "include indesign TOC entries" option when exporting to EPUB.
    I've confirmed the fonts I've tried are unicode-compliant and have the relevant character codes. I'm running the latest update to InDesign CS4 (6.0.4) on OSX 10.4.11. This character encoding problem doesn't manifest itself in the PDF or IDML export, only the EPUB export. Choosing whether or not to include embedded fonts in the EPUB doesn't make a difference to the outcome. I have run this test on my machine and a workmates, which is OSX 10.5.[something]
    I'll attach a test document to see if others can reproduce this bug. I'd be interested to hear if others can, or cannot reproduce it. I have submitted a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, but that doesn't exactly imbue me with confidence that anything will get done in a hurry...
    This problem is pretty annoying; I can either have EPUB navigation, or uncorrupt text. My current (proposed) workaround is for the operator to create 2 EPUBs, one with a TOC and one without, and merge the two together... EPUB transplant if you will. A bit ugly....
    thanks for listening!

    Hiya Joe (and Archie)
    It is indeed an annoying bug - I spent a few days looking around it before posting (wow, it must be nearly a year ago now).
    Fortunately, it really is straightforward (if a bit of a hassle) to workaround:
    - make 2 EPUBs, identical except one will have a TOC generated (epub-a), the other will not (epub-b)
    - extract the TOC file from epub-a and insert it into epub-b
    remembering that EPUB is a zip package, this is very easy indeed. On OSX you have /usr/bin/zip and /usr/bin/unzip to assist with extraction / insertion in a script (bash, applescript, etc). I don't think Windows comes with command-line zip programs, so you'd need to hunt around a bit.
    Good luck. I don't know if this is resolved in the latest 6.0.5 patch - if you haven't updated to that, it might be worth a shot. And if you have and it's still a problem, please respond to this message just so there's a log stating as much.

  • How to stop an iphone from "thinking" a phone no. is another iphone?

    I had an iphone 4 but then switched to a different device (ported my number out) and now I can no longer receive texts from my friend with an iphone 5 who used to send me messages using iMessage because the iphone 5 continues to "think" my phone number is associated with an iphone 4. Both Verizon and Apple are working on figuring out (spent a couple of hours) how to correct this with no luck so far. btw my friend can receive my texts but when my friend replies to my texts or initiates a conversation, it shows as sent on my friend's iphone but I never receive the messages.
    It has been so frustrating so as a last resort we are considering turning off iMessage altogether on my friend's iphone 5 because deleting my contact from the iphone 5 and reactivating iMessage has not helped correct the problem. Question: what can we do on the iphone 5 that can make it "think" that the phone number is no longer associated to an iphone? Or how do we simply turn off iMessage from the iphone 5?
    Any ideas will help. Thank you.

        Hi Htam,
    Messaging is an important feature on the device! I apologize that your messages are not working properly. Let's dig a little deeper. Try the following instructions below to unregister your old iphone 4.
    Go to http://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do.
    Step 2
    Log in with your Apple ID and password.
    Step 3
    Select the product you need to de-register (your iPhone, for example).
    Step 4
    Click ‘Unregister’.
    Step 5
    You’ll see the message ‘Are you sure you want to unregister and delete this product?’ – Click ‘Unregister’ again.
    Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

    Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

    Does the device get any signal? 
    Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure.  If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
    AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

  • Does anyone have problems occasionally with their slide to unlock on iphone 4s with the ios7 update? And do you think there will be a bug fix? Bit worried

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently updated my iphone 4s with the ios7 update and there was a bug fix I also downloaded recently but I hadn't noticed anything wrong at the time. I know it's not happened that often today but does anyone have any problems with their 'slide to unlock' button and have to reload their iphone again? Do you think there'll be a bug fix for it? Just worried as it's not old and I have a feeling I shouldn't have bothered with the update at all.

    Why would you think it's a bug?  If it were a bug EVERYONE would be having the same issue.
    Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

    request to post Icloud not working locations. for 2 days almost from Ventura CA. I think they are not being truthful about the percentage of folks affected!
    and what's with the minimalist response? We're working on it for 2 days? You can do beter than that for exsisting loyal customers can't you?

    I just spoke to a Support person with Apple.  I got the same answer, "We Don't Know", "but they are working on it...Blah, Blah.  I too live in Ventura, and have been without email since yesterday approx. 3:00 pm.
    The guy said, it's the same if you brought your computer into the shop.  We have to determine if it's hardware, or software, then fix the problem.
    Well, What about a BACK UP SERVER?  No real answer to that one.  Just, "Thanks, for your Patience."
    This really blows!!!

    I opened a spam e-mail, I think my phone has a virus how do I get it off? HELP!

    It was an email about a video I posted on youtube. It said "the video you posted under your account has been approved and posted. Click link to see the video" but I didn't post any video so I clicked the link on my phone and it took me to a page that was not youtube so I immediately closed the window went to my settings and deleted cookies and history. Later I tried to login to one of my banking app and it kept saying loading for about 5 min before I exited the app then tried again and then it wouldn't even let me log in.
