Any Brother Here Know How To Disable Covert Satellite Tracking In A Phone

[eatshitndie]

Of course. It would be like there is no phone.

just switching off your phone will cut off uplink transmission to the base station. very simple.

 

[eatshitndie]

Can we disable the phone from transmitting to the base stations?

switch it off. :p

Best way for him to get a phone without GPS chipset and stay off the grid.. However, there are still many way to track a phone like using the following technologies

1) radio frequency pattern-matching technology to accurately and reliably determine the location of any wireless device.
2) TDOA -Time Difference of Arrival which use triangulation of uplink signal received by the base station
3) Ecid- An enhance cellid position which use the Timing advance parameters available in GSM
4) RTT- Return Time Trip parameter available in UMTS
Most of the above technologies which used network-based solution will not have highly precision location if he is hiding in a rural area with few cell tower. Lastly , it is pretty stupid for him to ask this question in the internet especially when most public hotspots have fixed address and they are easily available in govt database and also in Google.

right, and baseband chipsets on smartphones now have tremendous location-based technologies. qualcomm acquired snaptrack several years back for a reason. even without a feature phone where triangulation could still be used to track device, email apps and now unified messaging apps insert metadata without user knowledge in traffic flows to help search and ad engines identify location. it's in the apps now, and not just on devices.

I did some reading up and read this from like 4 years ago..,,,, so the technology is definitely here.....but guess only reserved for matters of national security...

any tech that relies on satellite is only good with line of sight transmission to and from the satellite. for better precision, it requires terrestrial (tunnels, inside buildings and underground included) assistance.

hehehehehe me also Electronics & Communication my time they never teach me this leh.

i suppose we share the same background in fundamentals. :p

You are behind time. Geolocation is now commercially available and no longer constrained. Its now around 6 metres. Apples has "find friends" and there is raft of other similar apps.

Here is a another example and this is now in production. Say for example you bought a certain type of cardigan from a Dept store. You also have a store card with the dept store where your email or phone number or both have been provided. The following year, you are passing that store, geolofation picks you up before you pass the store, checks its database and immediately an imessage or sms hits your phone and offers a 20% of new range of cardigans.

In the old days, GPS/geolocation was limited to 20 mtrs amd during war it was duced to 6 m to allow smart bombs to hit targets.

The laws in many countries require all records including tracking record to be archived for certain period of time. These are typically not made available to law enforcement but to Intelligence.

He is another doozy - deleted SMS from a phone can still be extracted years later. Commercial firms that re-build hard drives due to accidental erasure or malfunction can do it.

I was referring to whether anyone can pinpoint your exact location based on mobile phone GPS and radio signal. If you leave electronic trails like credit card and NFC payments, these additional info certainly can give up your exact whereabouts. But based purely on GPS and mobile phone radio signal in a built up area is much less accurate largely because of interference from buildings. The current mobile phone system can tell if you have enter orchard ion, for example, but can't pinpoint exactly which tile and floor you are standing on.

But big brother is already working on to using other technologies like rapid facial recognition via CCTV and electronic payment trails to nail ones exact whereabouts. That partly explains the push to go fully electronic payment for everything, subway, buses, satellite road pricing, visa etc. We are moving towards the minority report world, but it is not the mobile phone that I worry about, it is the CCTV and payment system that I will real be scared of.

That is wifi connection is your giveaway. Switch that off.

this technology has been around since the evolvement of cell phones.

adapted from wiki,

Geolocation

Cellular geolocation is less precise than by GPS, but it is available to devices that do not have GPS receivers and where the GPS is not available. The precision of this system varies widely. Precision is highest where advanced forward link methods are possible (where a device is within range of at least three cell sites and where the carrier has implemented timing system use) and lowest where only a single cell site can be reached, in which case the location is only known to be within the coverage of that site. Another method using angle of arrival (AoA), possible when in range of at least two cell sites, produces intermediate precision. In the United States, for emergency calling service using location data (locally called "Enhanced 911"), it was required that at least 95% of cellular phones in use on 31 December 2005 support such service. Many carriers missed this deadline and were fined by the Federal Communications Commission.[5]"


i believe that previously Osama was traced cos' he did use some form of telecommunication that then the US finally nabbed him.

with your wi-fi and gps off, your cellular connection will still provide triangulation data based on sectors and cells that your mobile is going thru'. powering down the mobile will switch off your cellular connection, gps, glonass, apps, os, and wi-fi.

Of course powering down is the best thing to do if you think you are being tracked. They will then have one less means of tracking you.

Remember even though technology is available to do a lot of things, it does not have the power to do it on everybody all at the same time. It still needs the help of other less accurate technology to alert them of your whereabouts and then use more sophisticated technologies to zoom in to the target.

These technologies are basically remote surveillance systems, by satellite, by CCTV and using face recognition technology to assist in final identication and to quicken the search. With such technologies they don't need you to switch on your cellular but switching on your cellular will allow them to zoom in on you with more sophisticated equipment. Not using the phones is not good enough. It must be switched off.


Those cm accuracy surveillance satellite systems are not GPS but are probably low orbital satellites used for land surveillance.

All this high tech wizardry yet they were still surprised when they lost Aljunied and failed to improve on their score in Hougang.

You are behind time.

Actually all of you talk so much cock about tracking, supposedly by government, this is not my concern because the REAL ISSUE is how to stop being tracked by my wife.

Very simple. Just behave yourself.

Very good point Fook Seng.

Buy a china phone?

There is only one solution.

Castration.

For you, not your wife.

It is not the phone. It is the network that allows those location features to be available for any authority to put a tab on you.

You damn funny la watchman8

A virginity belt will also do the trick.
