Posted by 2Xplorations Used to be there was a way to turn this tracking feature off but Im still carrying a flip phone / non web phone from 1997. It was ostensibly to be used for 911 over cell phone calls but in a metro area 100ft might as well be 100yds My Samsung mil-spec phone can disable this Im not smart enough for smartphone yet so couldn't say. |
Posted by YotaMan20 Yup, corruption is everywhere. :/ |
Posted by 2Xplorations my understanding is without GPS enabled the accuracy is limited to the particular cell sites range which can be a mile or so in any direction depending on terrain I guess that's diameter but youre right just turn it off is best policy (now you've done it I have to look this shit up now to learn more stuff haha! ) |
Posted by 2Xplorations Ok bhawk you made me read it still don't see anything that would "locate" you in an urban area among dozens of other users on the same band triangulation requires two reception points a single non directional antenna will only give you a radius a directional antenna will locate you along a given line or "path" the tracker will have to be mobile to drive closer or farther from the source to compare signal strength I played transmitter hunt (with amateur radio operators) using a RDF directional antenna or a phased doppler style antenna if youre $$$ well off.. what I have found is at the higher the band (UHF) signals bounce all over the place, penetrate through windows and come out the opposite side of a skyscraper etc give false images and so forth a digital cell phone only has a fraction of a watt xmit power, if your receiver antenna isn't high and unobstructed your range would be limited we found guys suing hand help VHF in crowds easy they were the only ones talking into a little gray box! easy to spot following this |
Posted by SuchundFind Just go into airplane mode and everything will be fine. |
Posted by michas.lb323 IS this urban exploring related though or anarchist related. Stingray isnt going to be used in exploring old buildings. |
Posted by Brooks I've explored much more than old buildings, but I wouldn't be overly worried about this either way. I doubt they could use it in court. |
Posted by blackhawk It's court admissible and search warrants aren't always needed. https://www.propub...-your-digital-data To spite reassurances for LEO agencies, any phone call, text, or data transmission can be covertly intercepted real time and recorded. |
Posted by _Doc Thanks for this info. I use my smart phone as my camera since it takes photos in 4k. Didn't think I would need to purchase a camera. But, now I need to save up for a new camera if I want to stay safe as possible. |
Posted by blackhawk Here are more available on Google Play Store that don't need a rooted phone: https://play.googl...llspycatcher&hl=en Lets play stingray hunter! See if you can spot and photograph LEOs using an operational stingray in your area. Fun times... |
