Much like a launcher app, I was wondering if it were possible to steal the phone specific is from another phone. And if so, could it be from a carrier different than my own?

My friend said that his carrier was tracking all his internet history.
Do any carriers do this.
I need to target apps for a specific carrier. Any tips on how to do this? I've seen <uses-library> for market filtering, but looking for something else.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI read here: http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/11/developers-can-now-target-by-carrier-in-android-market/ that it can be done if you go to the Android Market, and go to your app, then go to Publishing Options -> Locations, but I don't see anything to select a specific carrier there, only specific countries. Is this something that Google changed? Can this still be done, or is it done automatically? Can't the carrier be detected from the device?

IT'S NOT LIKE GMAIL. EXISTING USERS DON'T HAVE AN INVITE OPTION, ONLY GOOGLE CAN INVITE YOU.
I wanted to talk with other Google Voice users about how they are using Google Voice with their Android. I am pretty new to both the concept of a single number and especially how I might use it with Android.
Please use this thread to post questions about how to use the android app and the overall app. Again, we can't hand out invites, only Google can.
I'm about to dump ATT/IPhone for Sprint/Android (EVO), but one thing has been nagging me and I want to make sure I know my options before jumping (e.g. given these 2 yr contracts).My concern is with ongoing support for my phone after purchase, support in terms of receiving the latest/greatest updates to the Android platform (e.g. within hardware constraints). Who ultimately controls whether a phone gets a release (e.g. Carrier or Manufacturer)?It seems to me the best bet is to go with the Nexus One platform given that is under the control of Google and should be well supported in that respect. However, it seems like it is going to be a hassle and/or costly to go with Nexus One using Sprint. Is there anyway around paying full price for Nexus One and using Sprint as a carrier? Any chance Google has a deal with the carriers to subsidize phones?Plus, I would prefer not to have the blot (e.g. UI modifications, app replacements, etc) added to the phone by Carriers and/or Manufactures (e.g. prefer Android as perceived by Google). Wondering who has the control of UI modifications. Does the Carrier contract with the Manufacturer and have control over what is added and how it is supported (e.g. whether a phone gets a new Android release, etc)? Or does the Manufacturer have the control?And lastly, say I get the EVO and on down the line someone (Manufacturer or Carrier) decides no more updates for the EVO. It sounds like I should be able to root the phone and continue with updates. Without support from Carrier/Manufacturer of course, but is it against the Carriers rules to root a phone?
Also, when rooting a phone, I'm assuming you can not take a release straight from Google and install it. Rather, someone has to implement the release for the target hardware (e.g. build, add any necessary drivers, etc). Are there any gotchas in doing this? Who is the most reliable supplier of these builds? I know that is a pretty broad question and I'll plan on doing additional research in that areas, but if anybody can give me a nudge or share their experience, that would be great.
Does anyone know a list of countries and carriers where phones with the Android OS can be bought?
I searched for a while for this now but haven't found anything...
I realize it isn't ideal to run / jog with such an expensive cellphone, but I recently misplaced my Creative Zen media player and I'll probably try using my EVO. Has anyone tried this out yet, or can recommend good cases or carriers for use while running?

Does the 4.4 update remove the carriers restrictions on the Google wallet? Specifically can you use the nfc payment. I read that the carriers restricted the nfc payment feature on Google wallet for "supposed security reasons" and that the 4.4 update is supposed to fix this.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question for those in the know. I am interested in purchasing an android-capable phone in the near future..I really like what it offers. My brother has a G1 (Mobile USA), which has piqued my interest in the Android platform. My question is: Is the app store synced with every kind of Android-capable phone, or just that specific phone? If I was to buy a HTC Magic, would it use the same app store as the G1? AFAIK, some other major platforms, such as Symbian do not sync, and it's 'every phone for itself', but I was thinking that Android was more synergic.

I have my HTC Desire and the Facebook application is the worst thing it should happen. It sync all my friends phone numbers and mixes with all my other phone numbers.

I made a very simple application to start playing around with Android development. It works fine on the emulator, but it gives me the following error when I try to install it on my HTC Hero (v1.5): The application Simple Dial (process com.foo.simpledial) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (Force Close button) and on in the Eclipse console, I get the following message:

I was wondering if there is an SMS activity log somewhere on the Hero / Android phone?
I could do with the telephone number of a text message I received but deleted without thinking!
If I could find a log then I could get the number? I'm not interested in the text itself, just the number from which it came.
