Yes, a phone can still be tracked even after a factory reset if certain tracking features or software are enabled. For instance, services like Google's Find My Device or Apple's Find My iPhone can continue to locate a device if the account is still linked and the device is connected to the internet. However, if the tracking apps are disabled and the phone is removed from the associated accounts before resetting, tracking becomes much more difficult. Additionally, law enforcement may have methods to track devices regardless of resets.

How can you detect cell phone spy wear?

If there is Spy Software installed on the phone it would allow someone to listen into your calls, get GPS coordinates or get copies of all messages sent/received from your phone.Some software is hidden completely and you would not be able to detect it.Some show in the Applications menu but is often disguised and is hard to tell from regular applications. Even if you do find spy software on your phone it can still continue work if removed from the applications menu.The only way to be sure there is NO software installed on the phone is to perform a HARD factory reset on the phone and it will remove any spy software. (Search online to find out how to perform a hard reset depending on what phone you have.)

What do you do when your ZTE Score is locked and you forgot your password?

There's a couple of ways to do this. You can remove the battery, put it back on, then start the phone back up as usual. If it still takes you to a password screen, then the only other option (which will essentially be a factory reset, deleting all data) is to hold the volume down, camera, and power buttons at the same time, go into recovery mode, and your phone will start up back to factory settings.

why did my wireless prepaid verizon phone suddenly freeze up and what can i do about it?

Usually when a prepaid phone locks up it is because of the security feature which prevents someone who steals a phone from using it. My husband somehow did that to his and he still has no clue how. In most cases you can reset your security code by putting the last four digits of your cell phone number into the keypad. Once it accepts the numbers it should allow you to reset the code and unlock your phone. If at some point in the past you already had reset your security code you need to call *228 and press 1 after the call is answered. This should shut your phone off and then turn on again at which point your security code would be reset to the last 4 digits of cell phone number. Please be aware since I don't know what specific phone model you have I can't swear that this will work but these are the typical instructions. If nothing works then call your cell phone provider as it is likely they locked your phone perhaps due to a payment not clearing or being received. I hope this all helps.
