Hi everyone,
i hope i didn't post this in wrong section,
my company is about to make a simple printed guide regarding how to activate LTE Only mode on Android phone,
in most of AOSP based phone, this will need a user to dial a what we all call "SECRET CODE" for "Phone Info", which is *#*#4636#*#*
no, my question is, since my company gonna do this as a company, not as a personal that post some information in internet,
is there any regulation/written law that tell what i can publish and what not? for example, is it okay to publish this secret code to public officially? will we break any law or agreement? or is Google allow us to do so?
if any of you know something regarding this matter, please kindly lighten me up,
Thank You

ok this is my first thread yay! i know. But i think i have an app that is making phone calls from my number but its not showing up on my call log but it shows up on my bill and the number is 8505830466. i tried calling it and it asks me what number i would like to dial. i would love to know what i should do! should i wipe everything and reinstall the rom or will they still have the info to keep making the calls? or call verizon and have them block it? thanks for any help that is given!
here's it on my bill
Google search shows some people saying its a political party #. Just sign into verizonwireless.com and block it. Solved.
thank you so much! ill try it out
Yes, agreed...mostly. I saw the same Google results. However, noted that my GV# is almost identical to this mystical 850#. I'm wondering if it's related buggishness (?!?). If so, wonder where I'll find more about it. Also, I recall someone else's input that the call /had/ been identified and related to GV, by their carrier (seems to me it was VZW). And furthermore, the rep allegedly stated that the policy was that there were no billable minutes for the number. Here is the indirect link to one of the more helpful insights I've found, IMHO; from the Google Groups: http[://]goo.gl[/]d9JO6 Good luck in your resolution(s).

[Edit]
When I spoke to VZW Customer Service yesterday [/not/ IT Support], the rep mentioned that the feature, "Call Blocking," was part of a $4.99 monthly package called "Usage Control," or something similar. ~:sDs:~
Hi, as one of my friends phone was about to get stolen when we were out in town a few days ago, I wanted some tracking and anti-theft software on my GS2. I found out how the pre-installed software from Samsung works (go to http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do and register your phone, and then enable tracking under the phone's security settings). But it is a very poor anti-theft solution if you ask me, even thou it works just as well as any solution on the market. First of all, if GPS is disabled and you try to track your phone using the Samsung website, it will ask you "do you want to enable GPS?"..that's just plain stupid and I don't see why it can't force it to start. Second of all, if my phone got stolen I would expect it to get reset to factory settings at some point. In order to avoid this, the phone should ask for the same pincode it ask for when you enable/disable tracking. That way it should always be possible to find the phone if it ever got stolen. I figured it was a simple yet good idea and wanted to feature request it for Android, but I couldn't find any information on where you can do so. Do any of you guys know? Or do any of you developers talk to the Android developers or do they roam in a certain part of the XDA forum?

Please try to contact Samsung/Google via the official contact/support email addresses first.
As they are using help desk systems, each email to those addresses become documented as a request or ticket and will be worked through in some way.
Every other contact (via personal network or a free/internet forum) is "in-official" and could lead into a loss of your input.
Good luck !

It doesn't on my phone. It remotely turns on GPS automatically with no prompt on the phone.
I'm trying to work with a custom build of Android based on KitKat to incorporate a stylus, copying some of the functionality (though not code) from Samsung which sells Android-with-stylus builds for e.g. the Note 3. I'm not including details of the specific device because right now I am working on a custom dev device and my aim is to write code which is generic enough to be usable from any Android (based on KitKat). The build (written by others) already incorporates drivers and sends stylus events correctly as motion events etc. Programming at the app level I can receive onHover, ontouch, onClick etc
The specific functionality I am trying to achieve is to pick up a stylus-button-click while hovering. It's perfectly possible to do this in any app, using an onGenericMotion Listener.
However, I want to make my "stylus-action" have system-wide effect - so that anywhere (in any other app, or in the launcher or whatever) I will pick up the event (prior to any other app) and bring up my custom menu. (just like AirCommand in Samsung Note 3) I guess in my custom Android this would then make that particular action somewhat protected or unusable for other users, but I'm ok with that.
In older Android (prior to ICS) you could try something by putting up a System Overlay (i.e in regular app code, without hacking the ROM at all), but this is no longer possible.
This is not an attempt to tapjack or whatever, I understand why this functionality has been removed from the domain of the regular programmer, and I don't want to regress my ROM back to pre-ICS behaviour by allowing the System Overlay hack. Now I am programming the system (if my change is good enough I'd like to submit it back to AOSP) so I would like to know the best method to address this. Since Samsung have already done this, it must be legal (using legal in the terms of "Android will allow it"), and I want to do it right.
Is it possible to write something similar to the System Overlay when you are running from a system service? Or is there a good choke-point to capture events before they are broadcast to the current running apps?
I was looking at (sorry, not allowed to post links) AndroidXRef /frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/View.java specifically in the function dispatchHoverEvent() which looks like a promising place. My naive idea is that I would place code here checking the MotionEvent to see if the button is pressed and if it is, don't call any listeners and instead call my little menu app (or broadcast a custom message, or something anyway). However, I've never written code on the ROM level before (LOTS of experience writing app code) so I don't know if this is a really bad point or a good point to add in code. Should I be putting things at a higher level or a lower one? Will this capture all events or not? Is it all just trial and error?
If this is the wrong place to ask questions like this, please tell me where on XDA I should be asking it. If it's the right place - please answer
Thanks

The guy above me is a ****. I stumbled across this post looking for something completely unrelated (title interested me). Five words in I knew this was something completely out of my league, but I still read the entire post. If I may offer you some probably useless advice, I would talk to the devs in the note forums. The only problem I could see is that the AOSP guys don't have this function in their roms because it's locked up Samsung code and the guys modding the stock roms leave it alone for the same reason. I could also be completely wrong. Like I said completely out of my league.
On LINE, the messaging app popular in Asia, it requires you to verify your age to gain access to adding people and people adding me via ID rather than QR code.
I'm unable to verify my age as I'm with T-Comst (who use Docomos masts for signal) but because it goes through Docomo they ask me to sign in with a Docomo login, which I don't have because I'm not with them!
I'm rooted with xposed installed if anyone can help!
EDIT: I used xprivacy and disabled line from accessing the sim card checks and my problem is now sorted
Hi,
I know this is already an old post but I am having the same problem. I have already install xPrivacy but I can't figure out what you did. Can I ask for more details of what you did to solve the problem? I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you in advance.
would like to know too... using B-mobile that uses docomo as carrier, but since I have no docomo number I can't verify my age... stupid thing.
I do not have a verizon account, but if you call and are persistent you will be given a second number...

Wait.......
Cool guy on the other end told me that

Guy on the phone put out an internal memo, we cannot see it, with a title of
"source code missing from github for wear24"

I was told that someone would be contacting me within a week or so.
I'll post an update when I get one.

What you can do?
Contact them and do the same.
Hit them up on twitter, facebook or other platform and try to get an answer from them in a public way.
PLEASE, be an adult about it.
The internet has enough negativity.

I think it's important to include Verizon in it so that they are tied to the idea

Already hit Verizon up on Twitter, no response yet. Tried to use the form for Quanta, but I keep getting a 404 when I submit.
