Welcome to Android Central! First, how are you certain your girlfriend is doing this? If you have evidence, you should bring it to the authorities, because this kind of behavior is criminal.

Second, are you letting her actually have physical access to your phone? If you know she's doing this, you need to keep the phone away from her, and make sure you have a strong screen lock set up.
 
Third, if anyone installed a spy app as a system app, the only sure way of getting rid of it is to reflash the firmware. (You'll lose all your files - music, pictures, etc.)
 
Yes I'm certain Its her .. I won't go police route in no way.. even if I didnt love her.. .. I have 345 apps on my samsung A20 from metro. She has complete control over my phone . And go d alot more things that I didnt know a person could do with any phone .. over 2yrs ago when this first started . Everyone told me I was crazy . From apple . Techs saying it was impossible (iphone 6s) I gave away cause app would change my iCloud account to gibberish every few days an I couldn't use phone ..
The apple techs took my phone got it plugged into laptop an m.j ade new icloud account an told me I was fixed .. the phones brand new.. I left store.. got in car put in hotel address an my old google history pops up 5min after a factory reset..
 
An that happened almost 3 yrs ago
. We have broken up for about 3 months an she never takes them off my phones or any females around me.. she doesn't need anything but my new phone number .. or someone phone number around me..
To infect this app .. I've been factory reset by her before with her over 30 miles away maybe 30 minutes later the girl I was with ..wasn't reset but she opened hers and it was wiped.. couple couple hrs later .everything on hrrs came back but old messages. Mines was clean.
That was summer 2018.. a few months ago she wiped it again cause I was with another girl at hotel an I had to trash it. Cause she changed Google pw
But even when it was on Google password page she could call me . But nobody else could .. I had to get new phone an sim card an new number
 
there is absolutely nothing anyone can do for you as long as you are giving her access to your phone and different accounts, including gmail. what you need to do is to reset the phone, change all the passwords to all of your devices, computers and online account then not leave anything open when she is around. this will stop her and any other person who may have access.
 
Just saying, I've tried everything you can possibly be told to do from reading questions from so many different web sites forums or metro, boost, apple , sprint.. so please someone tell me something I can do that actually works.. , right now .I have 345 apps on my phone I only down loaded maybe 50 I used to be able to take be able to take my phones back to stores an het new ones on the spot
But now they want me to send back to company. I stopped that cause ..it took too much time an d iui dnt keep her out of new phones
 
The common denominator is that she has access to your life. You need to severe all ties and your problems will be solved completely.
 
The best way is to probably set up a new google account on a new phone and dont let her know.
 
Sounds to me like you have a couple issues going on here. The first being a severe misunderstanding of how some things work on Android. For example, your mention of an AWS app in your first post. "AWS" stands for Amazon Web Services, and it's used by many companies to assist with cloud computing needs. I seriously doubt Amazon is now in the hacking business.

https://aws.amazon.com/

As for the rest of your claims, most of that is so hard to do that it's not conceivable that a random jilted girlfriend would have the ability to pull it off (and we see these sorts of claims all the time). Of the few things that are possible, it would mean a severe lack of basic security measures on your part. I.e. Sharing passwords, giving her physical access to your phone, or being willing to blindly give us remote access to your phone (we are phone enthusiasts, not a tech support company). And the story about wiping, and then recovering of phone data from those around you? To be blunt, that's the stuff you'd only see in the movies. Even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt that it was technically possible, something like that would be all over the headlines. With all the security researchers out there looking for stuff like that, it wouldn't fly under the radar very long.

Do you have a problem with your phone? Maybe, but no reason to immediately jump to the hacking claims. My suggestion is to go to a local shop that is good with phones and mobile security issues. Don't start with the claims of spying and hacking. That's going to put them on edge and think you're nuts because so far nothing you've said is absolute evidence of that claim. Just tell them you have some questionable apps or content on your phone and ask them to explain what they are. If you want to take screenshots of what you do have that's questionable, you can upload them here and some of us may be able to give you an idea of what's going on with them. Not all 300+ apps, mind you.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING on your phone runs through an app. Normally those are hidden but it's not hard to snoop around and find them in the app manager. All of those system apps that are in there are what runs your phone. Many of them do have obscure names, so don't think something is bad just because it has an odd name. LG has one called LIA Informant that many think is a law enforcement spy app, when it really is just a system app to allow a widget to function.
 
That’s never cool. Why don’t you sit her down and talk to her? It looks like she has trust issues, which could be due to her previous experience, or something you might have done. I don’t think this is the right place to solve this issue. Stop her access to your phone first. And discuss what her problem is.
