A really interesting pm

[FirePhoenix]

Retired Ninja you rarely ever post and when you do it's almost like your wanting to get acknowledgement for something. It's a good thing I remember talking to you that one day at the South side social. Thanks for the reminder and now I'm going to put you and ghosty boy on ignore due to the ignorance you both seem to show.

[FirePhoenix]

I told ya all I should be the host of candid camera, because real people look at the shit show on my phone's and turn different shades of grey and green. Why do think the computer repair guys had to go work the refund department. DUH!

[FirePhoenix]

People when it says "DANGEROUS" in the permission it means to "wipe out". It's the last thing anyone ever wants to see in their permissions.

[FirePhoenix]

I think that I will go to Fry's and show them your response. I don't think that they will appreciate your reply to much. BTW,who do you think gave me the nickname "Gifter"? I find it so interesting that a year and a half ago almost 2 years ago these providers were at the top of thier game. Now where are they? For a very short time they were telling me about how well I slept at night and what day my bike was stolen. Thank goodness I don't speak to them or those types of people anymore. They can go fry their hair or run around in other people's cars and have everyone else pay for the toll bill they run up. Me, I will make my own way that I have either paid for or have tried to pay for. I don't use people,but I do give things away to all sorts of people just to see them smile.

[FirePhoenix]

For all providers out there know this - ghostatx512 just tried telling me that getting the same Amber alert at different times for 2 days in a row was perfectly fine and normal for my cell phone to do. Imagine what he will tell you. Do you really want a session with someone like that? Or a person can just ask themselves "how many times do I get the same Amber alert?"

[FirePhoenix]

See I told ya all that I am not cim friendly. I don't swallow this load of crap. If others want to swallow I hope it's at a really high donation.

System permissions are divided into several protection levels. The two most important protection levels to know about are normal and dangerous permissions:

Normal permissions cover areas where your app needs to access data or resources outside the app's sandbox, but where there's very little risk to the user's privacy or the operation of other apps. For example, permission to set the time zone is a normal permission. If an app declares that it needs a normal permission, the system automatically grants the permission to the app. For a full listing of the current normal permissions, see Normal permissions.

Dangerous permissions cover areas where the app wants data or resources that involve the user's private information, or could potentially affect the user's stored data or the operation of other apps. For example, the ability to read the user's contacts is a dangerous permission. If an app declares that it needs a dangerous permission, the user has to explicitly grant the permission to the app.

Dangerous permissions are used by many applications. They are called dangerous because they allow the application permission to do things outside of the normal sandbox environment that can affect a user's data or information. That's all, nothing scary about them.

Do you have any apps that use the camera? That's a dangerous permission.

Do you have any apps that allow you to edit photos? That's also a dangerous permission.

Fry's is a retail store. Most of the employees you interact with there are salespeople. The people in their repair section are just like Best Buy's geek squad. They MAY have some training and MAY have something like an A+ certification that anyone with half a brain could study for and pass. They are not magic, they are not engineers, they are just random people trying to make a living.

I've been developing mobile apps for years. Chances are you've used one or more of them. Your paranoia about this is unfounded and has no basis in technical fact. Android logs are full of random crap that developers leave in their apps that they use for debugging. They are full of all sorts of failure messages, warnings, errors, etc. They are supposed to be, it's just how the system works.

I remember talking to you as well, and it makes me sad to see this consuming your life.

This stuff scares people. Everyone would love to just look the other way and pretend that this sort of thing can be done to your phone or to someone else's phone. It's hard because no one really has the answer and no body comes out and says "hi, I'm Tiffany and I will be your hacker today. First off I'm going to replace your UI." The internet doesn't work that way. It's all just a bunch of faceless data that someone has the time,schooling,and knowledge that can do this sort of thing from anywhere they choose to. However I'm the type of person that says "I don't care what you say about me. This is wrong and others need to beware of the signs that they may have been hacked." Do people even know of how many times I've heard a providers emails, accounts,ect being taken over and for months the provider didn't know about it? These issues are an everyday occurrence now and yet people, even the ones that have been a victim of it,want to pretend that hacking doesn't occure. So say what you will but I'm not fooled by it and even if you want to at least now you are getting some knowledge on what to look for.

So I have told the truth and have backed up with proof in every single thing. Now do people still want to believe the lies,made up stories, accusations, and a bunch of bullying nonsense from people I've either have never met or only met one time a couple of years ago, or do people believe that I have consistently told the truth, been the first one to show my STD tests,openly talk about taking a preventative medication against HIV and then turned around and ask for a poll to be done due to the misleading interpretation of why I decided to get on the medication, shown consistent proof that there is something going with my phone's,have put up very nicely with all the name calling,have proven that I am the "Gifter"that so many others have gotten my stuff freely (and they all loved it), have done great art pics,and have literally come up with not only new bj styles and sex positions but also created and built a portable yoga/sex/so much more swing, and that's only to name a few things I have done! So ask yourselves is it the drama and lies that you like being here so much or is for great,fun,IOP that's off the charts, sexy on time provider that tries to protect your sensitive information?

[Kickrocks]

I believe the ninja is right.

[Gamer]

So when you show people your logs they turn green and throw away their brand new phones after connecting with yours? People are able to listen in on your conversations and spy on you?

If this is truly what you think, why do you still have the phone?

[Ghostatx512]

Oh good lord I've received the same Amber alert more than once before, I guess I've been hacked too! Lol, this is too funny.

I know you want others to believe you, and I really hope it works out like you plan.

Having run a phone repair business for a few years during college, I limit myself on investigative efforts and this one has significantly exceeded it. Best of luck! ✌️

[Ghostatx512]

Oops forgot to add the link to the screenshot I took of my alert messages...am I hacked too?

One pair is hours apart! This may be annoying, but it really isn't uncommon, nor an indication of any type of nefarious activity.

Duplicate Amber Alerts!

[FirePhoenix]

See what I mean. If you have gotten the same Amber alert for however many days in a row,yes here is your sign award that there just might be a problem. Anyone have an answer to the at&t update with a Sprint installer? If you do both Sprint and AT&T would love to hear from you because they don't have an answer. I've spoken with both companies several times on the issue.
