Yep!
That's a bit much, don't you think. There are apps I'm sure to forward txts and number dialled. Not what URLs are typed I wouldn't have thought. I'll have a look and post back. You can also get GPS location apps which are hidden too... Sounds freaky and wrong all this.
You sure your not spying on somebody else other than your daughter?

GPS Spy MobileGPSpy and Secret SMS Replicator are two apps you might like to look at.
Is there any mobile app to check the data usage of all the connections on the same network.
Assume i have a wireless router, i want to check which connection is using how much data of my wireless network at real time through my mobile.
Damn bro, I feel for you. Check out "paw server" May not be exactly what you're looking for but has many features to put your mind at ease.

You can block certain URLs with rom toolbox pro, but could be, that there is a slimmer app to fulfill your task.
However, I guess you'll need root and an app to hide other apps.

Found what I needed. Sms tracker! It shows text, mms (you can see the pic sent), calls, urls, and gps location if it is on. On the website they have a renamed app health checker or something like that. You get first 7 days free to check it out. I was amazed at how well it works.

dirty sites? facebook, etc , where they can communicate with others?
dirty sites? where reports shoow what happens in the world? tht htey do not know about the mass-murders in other countries?
i really, really do not get it... I'm a teenager (at the end where teenagers are called teenagers...) but, really... why not let em watch some XXX ? so they know "how to do it"....
when you want to block all 3x sites you should install a "per -ip" filter...to unblock only IP's that "meet your morality"
let me talk to em and i'll show them how to unblock sites and everything else you think is dirty. WITHOUT admin priivileges.
censorship/no education /no information what happens really in the world ---> dumb people --->leads to.... [put in here what you think]

dumb is a matter of definition. Ok, nothing against illegal things like [torrenting, etc - where can get caught ] but, really...what leads parents to censor their kids internet?
Talk with your children, learn them how to use the internet and they (and you) won't have problems. Be a good parent.

good can't always combat the naivete of youth. An alert parent can sense somethings up so if he/she feels the need to dig deeper than I'm glad such tools exist. Frankly that's part of the job. Kids in general don't do as well with parents who are always trying to be there buddy. Just be sure that if you do find something to not disclose methods and means and F it up for others
This is going nowhere fast.

Well, I'm stock and I've had the issue of mobile data not working. Oh, and let's not forget the terrible awake times that drain the battery. It seems unfair that these forums would only be for those who unlock their bootloaders and install custom roms. Maybe you're right though and maybe I'll just go elsewhere if I need help.
Why call AT&T for regards to an update anyway. You will have much better luck calling the manufacture. Sometimes you can get them to throw the carrier under the bus. Sometimes they say the update has already been submitted to the carrier for testing. Of course they could be lying. My point is, you won't get a right answer for AT&T but you may get a plausible answer from LG.

I have looked in the proper threads , but not finding anyone that has done the bootloader unlock manually in a long time.
Had some odd complications with the one click casual , I know user error right.
I feel I can do this manually if I knew the proper sequence of what to push and install to the phone .
Im pretty confident in my skills with ADB, Fastboot, and Odin.
I also am aware of the dangers . So if anyone would like to chime in Id be grateful.
I have already downloaded the lastest nightly CASUAL jar and extracted it. Just need to know what needs to go where and so forth.

Uhhh.. I had problems with it too cause I run a weird distro that was angering it with paths and versions of various things.
I would up unpacking it, and repacking it and running it that way. It took several attempts to get all the paths right and so fourth. Can you post some straces or logs here and we can see what's horking up?
IIRC, there's a master script in there that does most of the heavy lifting and a lot of dynamically compiled progs and a few statics once you extract it all by hand.

Well there was a case similar to yours where they had flashed stock using the Note 2 Toolkit and it was a pre-release version and AFAIK it had to be JTAGed. Mainly because one user tried doing a lot of stuff and I think the guy who got it back just didn't want to or have the time to fool with it anymore.

Well you would have to send it off to MobileTechVideos to do it.
And just in case you are wondering the JTAG they use for our phones is called a Riff Box, you can find them on eBay for $50-$200 depending on how lucky you are.
The way it works, just in case you don't know how it works with phones, is they pull the MoBo and solder the Riffs little interface wires (they're just individual pieces of ribbon cable) to the phones JTAG contacts. You can actually build an interface for your phones MoBo for the JTAG with breadboard that way you don't have to solder directly to it, AdamOutler has a video in which he uses a Riff box and uses the custom breadboard piece to JTAG the phone (I think it was the VZW S3) back to life.

turns out there realy isnt an app you can push onto the phone that will locate it. plan b doesn't work for note2.but finding the guy who was at your house. beating him with a small bat in the face until he reveals the buyer of the phones location then going there with your a .38 and knocking on the door does.
btw for anyone who has not done it yet. install some kind of tracking app right now. you dont want to know what its like to loss it.

Now I lost the email and for the life of me can not find that post again. If anybody knows where this imformation is, please post it here for me or give me the link.

Because if you took the 4.3 or higher Ota or have a phone pre-installed with it, then you can't revert back to an older version of Android where the bootloader can be unlocked. This service is supposed to be able to do that with the hardware they have.

Seems kinda lazy to me.. Why even been in this type of forum if you aren't up to doing it yourself. Might as well get that other phone which we won't utter its name lol

Seems kind of crazy that if you ARE on a forum like this AND own this phone you don't know this...it is ALL over the forum about Knox & 4.3. I heard the "other" phone is on sale if you decide to get one!
Well I have my phone back and as advertised, they took my phone back to 4.1.2 with the VRAMC3 bootloader which is as we all know, unlocked. I'll tell you that it was worth every penny. And it wasn't the "lazy way out". It was the only way out. There is no way to unlock the updated bootloader, which you would know by reading the threads for this phone. And by the way, here, or XDA forums, is where I found the information to even do this. I have my unlocked phone back and am happily flashing again.

NICE!
Might have to send mine off...I might be getting the Verizon LG G3 soon though...
I am very pleased with the way my phone turned out. I am now running Alliance build 26 for the first time without safestrap. Hell, I even had Carbon room on it for a bit the first day I got it back. It is awesome to have my unlocked bootloader back again. I highly recommend their services.

Pleased that YOU had a good experience!
I'm surprised to see that someone else had a good experience with this company. So far dealing with this company has been a huge disappointment; not the impression I was under, considering all of the good reviews. I guess "service" just like products are like everything else...sometimes you get a lemon. I'm about to dispute the charge based on suspected fraud.

Ditto.
How long did it take and do you have a contact # sent a note 2 out a few weeks back still no update.

I can vouch for Josh. He does get busy. Just think about all the phone he gets sent. I will tell you that he is good for his work, will be fair, and if you have an issue, he will work something out with you (this is from my personal experience) He had my phone for over a month. But apologized for it and did not charge me the fee. (not saying he will do this for you) But I know it's hard but be patient and he will get back to you.
