Mobile Spy: iPhone (7)

If I upgrade the firmware on the iPhone, will it remove Mobile Spy?

Yes, whenever you upgrade the firmware on the iPhone, it will remove all programs and utilities associated with jailbroken software. This will include Mobile Spy and Cydia.

You should not upgrade firmware until you have time to re-jailbreak your device and make sure that firmware version can be jailbroken. Apple, lately, has been working on creating firmware versions that cannot be jailbroken. Make sure if you plan to upgrade that a reliable jailbreaking method for that firmware is available.

So if you upgrade the iPhone’s firmware and it can be jailbroken, simply re-jailbreak the device and reinstall the software through Cydia.

Mobile Spy: BlackBerry (5)

Why does the program say my Internet connection failed?

To run Mobile Spy your device needs an active Internet connection so it can upload logs to your account. If you don’t have an Internet connection there is no way to utilize the software. Therefore the software must verify the connection before it begins monitoring.

If your software is saying your Internet connection failed, the most likely cause is your account with your phone carrier does not include Internet access. You can contact your carrier to have them turn on the Internet for your account. This should be the same phone number that will be monitored.

If you do have Internet through your carrier, check to see if you are able to access the website https://www.mobilespylogs.com in the web browser of the BlackBerry. If not then either your Internet access is not turned on yet from your carrier OR your Internet settings are incorrect.

Many carriers require certain files be sent to your phone to enable the internet. This is done automatically but can take up to 24 hours for your carrier to send the files. Taking the battery out of the phone and then restarting it is a good way to try and force the download of the required files from your carrier. In most cases this is not needed because the files are already present on the phone.

You can also connect to Wifi to get Internet access. However remember that if you only have Wifi access, then logs will not be able to upload until another Wifi connection is made.

Anytime you are able to load the website https://www.mobilespylogs.com on the phone then your Internet connection should verify and you will be able to begin using the software.

My logs have stopped coming in today, what could be wrong?

If you have received logs normally and then they stop suddenly, then one of these could be the cause:

  • There have been no activities to report.
  • The phone is turned off or roaming.
  • The phone is outside of an area with GPRS or Wi-fi internet access is available.
  • The software was discovered and removed by the end-user.

Once the phone is turned on or comes back in range it will start uploading logs again starting where it left off. In most cases, if your logs stop yet none of the above apply, then just rebooting the phone will clear the memory and allow the program to function normally again.

If I change my SIM card, will it interfere with the Mobile Spy software?

Changing the SIM card will not harm the software. However, you should make sure the new SIM card has unrestricted GPRS internet and the internet connection is working properly. You can check this by opening the phone’s web browser and try going to http://domaindomino.com. If you see the site, then the Internet settings are fine. If not you will need to enable the Internet through your carrier or adjust the Internet settings of the phone to utilize the new carrier or data plan.
