I don't see why this is privacy sensitive data.

It's weird that a CDMA phone returns IMEI as MEID. Plus, some apps like to get these info.

Answer 3 · 2013-08-03T11:19:22.000Z

Okay, I will add these as dangerous functions:

getNetworkType: NETWORK_TYPE_UNKNOWN
getPhoneType: PHONE_TYPE_GSM

(unless you have a better idea)

Okay, I will add these as dangerous functions:
getNetworkType: NETWORK_TYPE_GPRS
getPhoneType: PHONE_TYPE_GSM
(unless you have a better idea)

Thanks.
Would you add settings for these two?

Yes, it will be dangerous functions (so default off).

Answer 6 · 2013-08-03T11:33:02.000Z
