Smart Phone Question

Post by Tim Burton »

I was requested by a guy who says he has the same model as my Smart Phone to copy my Java folder and send it to him. He said he deleted his and doesn't have the disks.

I want to, but am worried that he'll have access to something important and can end up screwing me. Does anyone know if my java folder in my Smart Phone has any data that will damage my identity or such?

Please answer, I have asked else where an no one answered, even an "I don't know is something."

Don't have a smart phone myself, but I would (if you can) open the java folder, and look at the various files in there, from there do a search online for the file names and see if they store any personal data.

I too would be cautious about this, as you may have an app or two that is holding passwords in there. Again this is just pure speculation as I have no solid proof to run off of.

What phone do you have?

And have you looked in your JAVA folder in your phone to see what is actually in there?
