[Help] Accepted invite to Facebook group, phone cannot send text msg anymore

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

Background:

My girlfriend before she met me, she used to know a friend who had feelings for her. This hacker was a true hacker. He was able to hack into people's Facebook and emails. She even showed it to my girlfriend but my girlfriend is not tech savvy to remember how he did it. Back then when iPhone 4/4S was the latest iPhone, he was able to bypass her passcode on her iPhone without knowing it. I am not sure if he tampered with her phone beforehand or installed some remote desktop etc. or whatever but my girlfriend is kind of slow when it comes to being tech savvy.

 

This man was able to get into her emails and send emails to her friends using her own email creating rumors to convince her own friends that my girlfriend did some bad things to make her own girlfriends betray my own girlfriend. She lost a best friend this way and her best friend became upset with a misunderstanding because her best friend fell for this fabricated lie that was from an email my girlfriend did not send but sent by the guy friend.

 

She does not speak to him anymore and it has been about 4 years and she feels he is constantly cyberstalking her.

 


Present:

My girlfriend's Facebook account was hacked into. She can no longer log into her Facebook. Earlier I received an invite to a Facebook group about support people with disabilities. My girlfriend confirmed that she was the one that invited me to the group because she is a big advocate when it comes to helping the disabled.

 

Many of her girlfriends or friends also received this Facebook group invitation. I accepted it and looked around. It looked fishy so I left the group. After 7-8 hours after getting home from work and getting settled. I can no longer send text messages. But I can still call people.

 

She said one of her girlfriend's phone started acting strange. It can no longer call or text my girlfriend told me.

 

My girlfriend has been cyberstalked for a long time now. She would receive calls from an unknown caller displayed as "Unknown" and she will hear heavy breathing. In addition, the text messages she receive will always be displayed from an unknown sender. The text messages would say "I miss you. I have not forgotten you."

 

She will also receive emails to her Hotmail I believe and other email accounts (I think they are Hotmail too) with MP3 audio files. They will play a song but it's a small part of a whole song that was cropped so it's a snippet of a song. The song is a 1930s song and the singer is singing the lyrics "I am folloooooowing youuuu. Whereverrrrr you gooooo." Creepy.

 

Sorry that this story is very messy and out of order, but I swear I am not trolling and that this story is 100% real.

 

TL;DR

  • Girlfriend used to know a guy friend that was a hacker, let's call him "M"

  • M would show the cool little hacking tricks he knew to my girlfriend

  • Note that my girlfriend is slow and not tech savvy so she was clueless when this was going on

  • M hacked into girlfriend's email before to impersonate as my girlfriend using her email to spew rumors to her best friend to convince her best friend to fall for a rumor or misunderstanding to make her own best friend betray or turn on my girlfriend

  • M also was able to access my girlfriend's iPhone 4S when the iPhone 4/4S was the latest iPhone model at the time without knowing her passcode

  • M has feelings for my girlfriend can kept wanting to sleep with her

  • My girlfriend left M as friends

  • M continued to harass my girlfriend and call her under different numbers

  • It has been 4 years and my girlfriend suspect this hacker is M

  • Today in the present, my girlfriend's bank account has an unauthorized charge

  • Someone hacked into her Facebook, and I cannot reply to her on Facebook Messenger on post anything on her timeline

  • Girlfriend is an advocate to help the disabled

  • I received a Facebook group invite about a group that supports the disabled

  • I joined, it looked suspicious, I left the group

  • 8 hours later, I cannot send text messages anymore

  • Her girlfriends received the same Facebook invite

  • One of her girlfriend's phone cannot text or call on her phone compare to my phone which only cannot send text messages

 

Edit 1:

  • Phone: Samsung Galaxy S 5 running on Lollipop

  • I accepted the Facebook group invite while using my cellular data and not on wifi

[Build Help] Watercooling build

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

United States of America, so USD

$5000 Budget ceiling, with a little wiggle room if performance spikes a bunch (though no triple SLI)

Intended use: Gaming, 3D modeling, a wee bit of programming and heavy multitasking. Intended to be very future proof, at least for 4-5 years, though I'm not expecting leet fps for that whole time.

1440p@60Hz

Continuation of a water cooling build with a Fellow from another thread, feel free to hop in and help if you have advice! I left the Corsair H100i in as reference for what I otherwise intended to get, with the ASUS DC3 being my intend SLI cards of choice. Thanks!

Note: So far I have already gotten the COSMOS II and the 1000w EVGA PSU. I'd started with those two as they were the heaviest and were the best things to shape the build around, assuming a nice dual SLI build with OC'd cards and CPU doesn't clip the wings off the poor power supply. Thanks for any help you can offer, again!

Edit: I am currently looking at 2 Galaxy 980 Ti HOF Watercooled cards with a custom watercooling loop, though modifying my own PCBs are not out of the question.

Japan Vs. USA phones. Need advice!

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

Current Phone - Galaxy S3(T-Mobile)(Micro sim)

Price range - 600$ max

Screen size - 5 - 5.5in

Typical use - Heavy internet browsing/gaming/traveling(currently in Japan)/videos/watching hd streams/Taking Photos

Location - Currently in Japan as a tourist, currently have U.S. T-Mobile.

Timetable - I am fine with buying one in Japan or waiting to get one in the U.S. There is no real rush. If I could get one in Japan for the last month, that would be preferred.

Ok. I am currently in Japan for another month and would like some advice for what my next phone should be.

What I know about Japan Phones - Many of the phones are evolving quickly in a few ways. I know that the Japanese government is pushing to make all phones sim free asap. Many are also changing over to nano sims. Also, buying a used phone seems to be quite difficult, as I've only been in 2 stores which actually have used ones. I know that Docomo will unlock their phones for a 30$ fee. I know softbank/au/yahoo will not/cannot be unlocked. One of the only phones that was shown to be an actual canditated was the Asus Zenifone 2. It was unlocked, and able to use a sim card the same size as mine.(micro)

Talking to T-mobile didnt help much. With my current schedule here is it difficult to have the time to talk out my situation with someone fully. I still dont know if I can switch to a nano sim or not or if these Japanese phones will work in the US. From what I've read it comes down to frequencies. https://support.t-mobile.com/message/435224

Phones I am interested in -

LG G4

Asus Zenfone 2

Sony Xperia Z3

(Xperia would have to obtain from craigslist as T-mobile doesnt sell it anymore)

I am not interested in the S6 or the note. After owning a samsung galaxy for 3 years id like to try a different phone type. Also note these are not the only 3 phones I am looking for and am very open to other suggestions.

Should I get a Note 4 or wait for the Note 5?

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

Should I get the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for $399 (refurbished & unlocked) or wait until the Note 5 comes out? I'm new to Android (but pretty techy), so I'm wondering if the software will be up to date, and for how long. I'm convinced the Note is for me and what I want out of a phone. I'm on AT&T, and can go on contract, or use my old sim and plan. Basically, which phone will get me the best for my money. Thanks c:

Is the Note 4 still a good buy?

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

So coming from a Galaxy S4 (previously owned an iPhone 4), I am thinking about upgrading.

I have been looking at the Samsung Galaxy S6, the LG G4 or possibly even a return to iPhone (the 6 Plus, since I want OIS).

All of these are quite expensive though, so I thought that maybe the Note 4 (which has OIS too) could be a cheaper alternative. Sure, the Note 5 is out in a few months, but probably at a premium price.

So I'm asking those of you with Note 4 experience, would it be a good purchase today? I've seen a few used ones in good condition for a fair price.

I like my phone to last at least a day and I really like removable battery and SD card support.

The on paper performance of the CPU and GPU of the PS4 That I made.

I took the time to calculate the performance of the CPU and GPU of the PS4. I was able to quantify the performance into scores that can be compared to off the shelf PC parts. The unit of measure is in points that the site http://www.passmark.com/index.html uses for bench marking components with their performance test benchmark.

For calculating the GPU i found that it is based on the architecture of the HD 7870. I looked at its score of 4260 and took in the Clock speed and number of shaders in account The GPU of the PS4 scores 3100. Roughly the same as a GTX 750 at 3250.

For calculating the CPU i took the score of an 8 core AMD CPU the 8350 of 9000 and divided it by 2.5. The ratio of 4.0GHZ to 1.6GHZ.

The CPU of the PS4 scores 3600. the same as a Intel Pentium G3460 @ 3.50GHz

Remember, This is all theoretical on paper and is not completely accurate. (its pretty accurate though) Things like API, Thermal throttling, RAM, condition, ETC are not accounted for.

New user Tv or Monitor

Hi guys, im a new Xbox One user and Im divided here. Should I use it on my TV, which is 32" 720p, and play confortably on my sofa, or connect it to my BenQ 24" Monitor with 1080p and play on my computer chair?

Will the 1080p be a noticeable improve since many games run at 900p or even 720p? And also, monitors some time dont play along very well in lower than recommended resolutions, will my image quality suffer if games force 900 or 720p on my 1080p LED monitor?

Thanks for the help.

These were the best builds I could come up with everything I've learned so far. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone can help me pick the better build and point out any issues or improvements I can make on it. My budget is $720 max but the lower the better and I'm in FL, USA. As I said the build is for gaming but I'll also be using it for my everyday needs. I'm hoping to get performance greater then a Xbox One/PS4, nothing specific but the higher the better. I'll be playing AAA games like GTA V, Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim w/ mods. I also need to make sure it'll be able to connect to WiFi (5 and 2.4 bands) and connect to my TV since I won't be using a monitor. I'll be running Windows 7 for now but plan to upgrade to Windows 10 when its available and I'm not sure if I'll need a CPU cooler or something since I will NOT be overclocking or anything like that.

 

Thanks again for any help you can provide and sorry for the long read. P.S. I had posted this earlier over at /r/PcMasterRaceBuilds but it didn't get much attention so I reposted over here.

Modern (mid-2000's to present) games at 720p to 900p, 30+ FPS, low to medium settings. (Note the fast RAM so I can squeeze as much performance out of the APU as possible.)

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$350.00 including OS (via software swap) Microsoft All-In-One Media Keyboard, and wireless Xbox 360 controller.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Here are my specific questions:

1) Is the 275W PSU enough for this build? PCPartpicker is showing the total wattage to be 200.

2) Do I really need the CPU cooler? Keep in mind the computer is going to be housed in its own cubby hole in an open front entertainment center with about two inches of clearance on all sides.

3) Will the CPU cooler fit the case I chose?

4) How well will Inkscape (or Illustrator for when I'm rich enough to afford it) perform with this build?

5) Any suggestions to improve the build at all in terms of cost, performance, etc?

Help me upgrade from my Note 2!

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

I currently am using a Samsung Galaxy Note II on AT&T. I'd like to upgrade within the next month, but if something great is coming down the pipeline I'd be willing to wait.

I'm looking for a phone somewhere within the 5.0 to 5.6 inch range, with a great camera, and enough power for some gaming, and great audio playback functionality. I also want a sleek and well designed phone, something akin to the s6, though I swore I'd never use a samsung device again.

Lots of storage is a must, expandable memory would be great, but isn't a deal breaker, removable battery isn't a deal-breaker either, especially if the phone is Qi wireless charging compatible.

This phone will be used heavliy for talking, texting, entertainment, and photography, and will be running a custom ROM at some point down the line, if I can get a ROM to play nicely with AT&T.

I'd like to buy using AT&T next, but I'm open to any price at or below $850 off contract/unlocked. I'm located in the US if that helps any.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I left a lot of these catagories empty because I plan on carrying over what I'm currently using, am not exactly sure what I need yet to match the given parts, have not researched a given part well enough to decide, or haven't yet found a part to match the green/black theme.

I'm also really open to other case designs that might fit the theme, I would really prefer a full atx case.

Idea on why i picked some parts though.

cpu: Don't feel like paying for the x99 board, and there are no green/black x99 or z97 boards that I'm aware of. If there are any I would be willing to switch to match those boards.

Motherboard: I'm not too picky when it comes to bios, I couldn't really find any pure black, or green/black motherboards to fit the theme so I just settled with this. Would be entirely willing to change for an upgrade or theme matcher.

GPU: I like the idea of HBM, I'm quiet worried about the limited amount of RAM though. I'm considering going with a 980ti instead, but the enthusiast in me wants to have one of the first boards to have HBM in it, and direct x12 has potential VRAM stacking in the future?

RAM: 1866 is the fastest that my mobo supports that I'm aware of? Want to go 4*4 to match ram waterblock

SSD: I have limited knowledge on SSD and just chose 500gb for the size

HDD: Also have limited HDD knowledge and choose based on advice and 1tb size

Optical drive: Litterally 0 knowledge and choose based on ability to use blueray dvd and cd.

Thermal pastes: I listed 3 empty ones for different parts? I've heard that you need to have specific pastes for GPU's CPU's Ect

Motherboard Wires: Just trying to match theme

Case: The best that i've come across with theme matching, I really want a window, preferably clear(not tinted green). Looking for a Full ATX

Reservoirs: Just matching theme

Pump: Advice from friend

Radiator: Not sure what the case fits, will probably wait to get until case arrives.

Fittings/water lines/coolant: Waiting for case

Waterblocks: Trying to match theme, clear seems like it would be nice for the green coolant that i plan on using

Fan controller: Would be neat to have a controller match the theme based on water cooling

Monitor: To match the radeon Fury x's capabilties in 1440p with free sync, I would swap if i got a 980ti to a 1440p gsync

Keyboard: Either this or razor chroma, i liked the RGB and key caps on this better

Mouse: Pretty set on this, decent optical mouse with RGB, that seems like it would fit my lazy palm style

Mouse pad: I currently have a large steel series, but I'm looking to find a full keyboard/mouse pad that fits the black/green theme

Headphones: I have ad700's right now but the ad700x fits theme better

Speakers: Currently using some $150 klipsch 2.1 speakers from bestbuy, I was thinking about getting Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 or a 5.1 surround sound system. I really prefer using speakers over my headphones most of the time, but I'm not sure how i would setup stands to fit a 5.1 system

Table: Haven't looked into it yet, but I want the computer to sit on the desk to the right of the monitor, and would prefer a black/green design.

Chair: Would prefer to match theme I have no knowledge of gaming chairs/ computer chairs.

upgrading from a 2013 moto x in a few weeks, Galaxy s6 or iPhone 6?

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

Hey yall. So i have the opportunity to upgrade in a few weeks time from my 2013 moto x, which at this point, has become a middling, oft-time laggy and messy phone. Sometimes it gets me through the day, sometimes it gets stuck on a download loop for an hour and sets my pocket on fire.

Honestly, I could wait to upgrade, til after the iphone 6s and the note 5 come out, but before they do, i'll be going on a month-long trip to Taiwan and wanted to have a phone that will take good photos while i'm there, something my moto X does not do. That's my main motivation right now to upgrade in July as opposed to September/October.

So i've heard great things about both the s6 and the iPhone6. It seems to me that the s6 so far is the best android has to offer, IF you aren't a user on /r/galaxys6, where it looks like every user is suffering from shit battery, memory leaks, angst, etc. Then you have the iPhone 6, which is a nice lookin piece of machinery, and of course, you get the closed ecosystem, better optimization, "ease of use" etc. It's very tempting to go to that after 2 years of even Moto's mostly-stock android, but buying an iPhone6 10 months after its released seems like a silly idea, instead of waiting for the 6s.

I've seen and played with the LG G4, its gigantic, screen is gorgeous, but the UI is...wow. Just wow. And I honestly kinda do want the modern, sleek feeling piece of tech that the s6 and the iPhone 6 provide, and the G4 in hand doesnt feel nearly as good.

In any case, i expect the s6, even with its reports of wildly inconsistent battery life to be a crapton better than my moto x, which gets me from 6am to 6pm SOMETIMES. but not if i use it in the 10 minute break between classes. If i can reliably get 3-4 hours of SOT id be pretty stoked. Plus, the s6 is the flagship. I'd expect Samsung to iron out the bugs with updates, and android M.

Oh, and i'm on verizon. Thank y'all very much.

Is this a "Console Killer" PC?

You think with these specs I could run most games at 720p/60fps? The build was as much as a brand new Xbox One, but that might be contributed to the mini-ITX form factor.

Would Component cables work with an unmodded PAL Xbox? (480i etc, NOT progressive scan 480p 720p etc)

If I used a Component cable to connect an Original Xbox to a TV... would that even work? I know 480p+ is impossible without softmod but would it at least work in 480i? Or would it not work at all?

Just bought Saints Row 3,4. Why is the optimization so bad?

First off let me say that I loved Saints Row 3 on xbox 360. Played the absolute shit out of the game before I sold the whole system. Anyway, I saw that both games were on sale, so I picked them up, minus the DLC. I haven't tried SR4 yet, but SR3 is really giving me tons of problems, performance wise.

Setup:

AMD a6-6400k dual core @4.5ghz

Radeon 7850 2gb

8gb of ram

Windows 8.1

Resolution: 1280x720

I'm getting 18-30 fps in DX9 mode, no matter what setting I run the game at.

does anyone have any answers on why this game is running so badly?

So, is there any news about the resolution for Phantom Pain on Xbox One?

Been looking out for info for months, but it doesn't seem imperative enough to the media to seek an answer.

Because surely the Xbox can do much better than 720/60 now.

6600k + 7750 HD - Witcher 2

Okay so with these specs:

AMD A8-6600k APU | Radeon 7750 HD 2GB DDR3 | 8 GB RAM | Asus AM55ma mobo |

What settings should I be able to run Witcher 2 at?

Cause from what I've read and seen on the internet I should be able to run the Witcher 2 (2 not 3) on at least medium in stable fps 30-40. Instead I'm on everything low and averaging around 30 but it dips down to 20 during graphics intensive scenes. Surely my setup isn't that underpowered that it can't run this game on at least medium settings.

I play at 1600x900 and turning the reso down to 720p does help FPS but at that point I may as well be playing on the xbox 360 - super disappointing graphically.

I know as well that the Witcher games are super unoptimised and all that it just seems a little excessive, that I'm getting sub 20 fps on low settings. Something doesn't seem right.

[Workaround] Did your Custom Dictionary settings disappear? Can't change your Spell Check settings? Here's a fix.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gsmarena

I'm not sure how widespread this issue is, but after spending the better part of a day researching it, coming up empty, and finding my own workaround solution, I thought I'd share it with the community.

TL;DR

Due to a combination of factors, I couldn't change Spell Check from UK English to US English. I found a way around that issue.

The Situation

I'm not sure why, it may have been the Android 5.0.1 update, but for some reason the Personal Dictionary / User Dictionary disappeared from Settings. I know it was once there because I've edited words in my Personal Dictionary before, mostly when I inadvertently added a word I didn't intent do.

I previously found it under Settings > Languages and Input > Personal Dictionary, but now the Personal Dictionary menu option is simply missing. Gone. I have no idea why, and I haven't been able to find much about it online.

I double-checked under the settings for the three keyboards I have installed: SwiftKey (the one I use most often) Google Keyboard and Samsung Keyboard, but none of them had any dictionary settings within them, either.

I tried switching my default Keyboard from SwiftKey to Google Keyboard, but that didn't make the missing settings menu item reappear.

The Problem

At minimum, this would be a bit of an inconvenience, for example when you add a word to your Personal Dictionary inadvertently, then can't remove it. However, as I purchased the device in the UK, but mostly write in US English, I wanted the Spell Check to respect that.

So I went about changing all the language settings from UK English to US English: all my keyboards (SwiftKey, Google Keyboard and Samsung Keyboard), device settings, everywhere I could find a place to set language settings I change it. Mostly, that worked fine: applications were localized the way I wanted them, even typing Autocorrection worked properly. The one place it didn't work was in Spell Check (the red underlines beneath misspelled words). No matter what I did, my device refused to accept US English spellings as correct.

The Solution

Since US and UK English are similar, I decided to simply add all the regional spelling differences in my Personal Dictionary. I searched online for a comprehensive list and found this site. After doing a bit of cut, paste and a little trimming to remove non-preferred US spellings, I had a text file with 1717 US spelling variants. Now I just needed to get them into the Personal Dictionary.

I wasn't about to manually add over 1700 words to the Personal Dictionary one by one. That would have been horrendous. So I searched online and found a third-party User Dictionary Manager application here that let me import all the words in one go from a text file.

Net result: now my device accepts that I spell in both US and UK English, even though I wasn't able to access the Personal Dictionary via settings.

Anyway, I have no idea if anyone else has experienced something similar, but I wanted to share my workaround in case it may be of help to someone in the future.

(Note: this solution really only works with regional differences between languages, like US/UK English, Canada/France French or Mexico/Spain Spanish, for example.)

My Configuration

  • Device: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Model Number SM-910F
  • Carrier: I purchased the device from Three Mobile in the UK.
  • Operating System: Android Lollipop 5.0.1
  • Keyboards: Most of the time I use SwiftKey (currently on Version 5.3.1.66), but I've verified the problem also occurs when using Google Keyboard (current version: 4.1.22063.1974169)
