You may want to check your phone for malware or other tracking/access apps. Personally, were it me, I would back up my personal stuff to a computer or cloud account. Photos, videos, music, contacts and the like, and then do a "Hard Reset" on the phone. You would lose apps and app data, but better safe than sorry. :)

NOTE: Doing this will clear 'all' the data on your phone, so it is suggested you not choose this option unless you have to, or aren't worried about losing anything on the phone.

Be sure you back up any data you want to keep, to a computer or cloud account, before doing the reset.


To "Hard Reset" the phone...

1. Make sure that the phone is actually powered off.

2. Remove your SD card, if there is one in the device.
