I use my android phone for apps and sometimes to search for images to use as wall paper for backgrounds for my phone.I also have a lab top that I use for everything else internet searching. I have a belkin password protected. I don't have singal so I use the WIFI. Well I looked in my history and came across some things I didn't search for.They are horrible searches, very offensive. No one uses my phone but me. I can't blame my fiance or anyone because this occurs while he is at work. I have deleted different porn searches 3 or 4 different times today.


My fiance is at work, and my phone was with me even when I go outside or anywhere else because my 5 year old brother sometimes steals things out of my room. I bought my android back in nov. 2011 and I saw a topic about this on google forums and a article and it mentioned it maybe being android related. This article was done last year and the forum has been running for about a year. The article was written early 2011, like back in Feb. apparently, The problem is still happening. It happens on my fiance's phone as well. I know its not him doing it because He accidently left his phone here at home today and I had also deleted porn history searches off his phone 3 or 4 times today as well. I've saw web searches appear in my history on my android phone right in front of my eye before. I did a post on google forums but no one answered so I posted it here to see if anyone else has had this kind of trouble with there android so I wouldn't feel alone. :( Its really starting to bother me.
 
If your husband is logged into the same account on his PC at work that is on your Android device, and saved searches are on, then both search history's will appear on both PC and Android phone.

He isn't on a PC at work at all. He works at a carpet factory,he doesn't have a computer to use there, the place doesn't even have WIFI or anything. He has own account. He doesn't use it.I forgot to mention, My aunt has the same problem, she has the same phone and has password protected wifi
 
Hello and welcome aboard. Thanks for stopping in to join us.

I've been reading your thread and I have to be honest that I've never heard of this type of thing happening before. That is so strange. This sounds like someone else is using the same account.

You didn't mentioned what device model You have. I'm not sure if anyone on here will be able to give you definite answer to why this is happening.

Have you ever thought of getting both numbers change..that might be a good start.
 
:dito:

Also, as a first step, I would also recommend both you and your husband change the password on your Google accounts. To me, it sounds to me like your Google accounts have been hacked.
 
There are apps that can do this.

Are there porn notifications coming up in your notification bar?
Are there porn app shortcuts being created on home screen?

A few apps that i found that can possibly do this or have been reported are:
Reddit (Reddit is Fun or Reddit is Good)
Porn Search (this is most likely it)
Facebook app is also able to install unwanted apps

Note that apps can install other apps, or at least shortcuts that function add its own app. If you have Unknown sources checked in Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources, you may want to uncheck it. The app that is most likely causing this is a non-Google Player app.

There are also anti virus and anti malware/spyware apps that you can download to help find what is causing this.

If you could make a list of apps that are installed on the phone that would be very useful as well.
 
I forgot to mention a few things in my post so I will go ahead and tell all of you now. We have done test to our phones before several times. One example of what we did was to our phones was that we laid our phones side by side, while doing this test we deleted all the image history and web history off our phones right in front of each other, he looked down at my down while I was doing this and I did the same to him. Well, to make it even more fair, we laid our phones on his xbox for 3 hours. No one left the room during the test, He was playing xbox, and I was on the lab top talking to a friend on facebook. After 3 hours we laid down on the bed side by side and checked the phones, it was filled with porn images searches and web searches once again.

I like to look up backgrounds on google images based on my interest for background use. My interest is wwe,hello kitty,vampires,gothic stuff,rock music,skateboarding,emily the strange. Well who ever has been doing this hack, apparently knows who I am because it showed at R-Rated verison some of my interest. Here is what the list looked like:
John Cena
Dolph Ziggler
wwe divas nude
sexy gothic lesbians
nude gothic teens
zack ryder
hello kitty.

I did the image search on Cena,Ziggler,Ryder and hello kitty but I did not however, look up the other stuff. This list popped up after another test we did where we left the house and left our phones at home. We hid our phones locked our doors. Before we did that, we once again deleted our history in front of each others faces. and when he came back home we looked at our phones to see porn searches on our phones again. And that list is what appeared on mine. While on his, it showed a list of worrying more offesive searches. Sometimes the history would appear the same and sometime different, and then we have days when his phone is empty without any searches and we have days where my phone is empty without any searches other than what we reconigze.

I have changed my number several times, while his has been the same for a while, even when we had different straighttalk phones. However, Someone in my family claims to know how to hack phones,lab tops and other stuff. He claimed this before I met my fiance and he said all he needed was a phone number, but we haven't seen this person in awhile and I don't know how he would have gotten my number, but I'm sure he still has my fiance's.

You've changed your phone number several times, but have you tried changing the password to your Google account? Someone could be using your Google account, and changing your phone number won't affect that at all.
