Since I don't have developer options(on my galaxy s5) I only have I only have data usage but I want to find app usage but I guess my phone only has data usage which isnt helpful at all really and the only ones where I suspect them to be it are only att and samsung ones and theres one called "MyScript Resource Manager" but when I tap it I can't tap "view app settings" because I guess it isnt a app? I really dont know at all
I looked in misc. files and didnt really find anything at all atleast I dont think?
although I looked in "ALL" (apps) and it looks like theres a lot of suspicious things but I dont really know whats apart of the phone and what isnt
A little late reply, haven't logged in here in ages...
MyScript Resource Manager is indeed app or at least a process. I have an S4 that I've had forever and for the first time ever, I notice that MSR was trying to connect out to TCP port 80 (HTTP) to an IP address associated with AT&T (I'm a T-Mo subscriber). My firewall was blocking it, so it made 3 attempts using 3 different IPs, all in the same range.
So - I sent a HEAD request to the HTTP service on one of the hosts and got back a 400 server response code. Server: CloudFront
No further probing was done.
It is indeed an app, listed in Application Manager ===> ALL.
MyScript Resource Manager 10.39 MB
Version 1.3.0
Perms:
Modify or delete the contents of your USB storage, as well as read.
Download files without notification (how nice!)
Full network access ( except I kinda put the hammer down
)
View network Connections
I'm certain this came stock on the phone. ( T-Mo branded S4 )
I could easily enough route my phone's traffic through my desktop and since it's not using HTTPS, I would be able to see the traffic, unless they rolled their own crypto. The problem is, I doubt that I could navigate to it's location and start execution (It's already running), as the phone's not rooted.
I'm going to keep looking around for more info.
EDIT: FWIW, I'm not seeing any ads or pop-ups....
