Dear developers of PactrackDroid,

I am a student majoring in Computer Science. We are trying to collect existing bug reports and fixes of to help detect and fix similar bugs of other active applications.

I have detected that method ConnectivityManager.getBackgroundDataSetting() is used on line 108 in nu.firetech.android.pactrack.frontend.ConfigView and line 64 nu.firetech.android.pactrack.backend.ServiceStarter.

However, since this method always return true after API level 14 (Noted in API Guide) and currently the minSDK version of PactrackDroid is 14 so that calling this method is actually useless.
I found that PactrackDroid has been built since 2009, I think this API may be included long time ago, but now it seems to be outdated for your app.

Thanks a lot for your attention. Hope this information is useful for you.

Thanks. As you may have seen in the comments, we knew about the deprecation, but didn't realize we had dropped the support for the old versions that still needed it.
