- BjornW 14y agoMhh why do a lot of Android apps need 'READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY' permission? Seems unnecessary and makes me not want to use your app.
- pooriaazimi 14y ago> READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY > Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. An app with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like. ?!! It also requires READ SENSITIVE LOG DATA.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoOn second thought: maybe Android's permissions are broken and too generic. An app has a legit reason to want to know whether a call is active (to shut off playback), but the permission gives the app other abilities that they can abuse, like device serial number and phone number.
- daemin 14y agoI have not developed for Android yet, but I would imagine they need said permissions in order to stop playing the audio/video when a phonecall is in progress. I would imagine that it's a useful feature, and that many more people would complain if it was absent.
- polshaw 14y agoI've been using builds of this for months, so fair to say it should be pretty stable now.
- vineetdhanawat 14y agoIt worked good for me (HTC Desire S) But this is what app says "it might kill your kitten, destroy your house and start the mayan apocalypse."

- mikeevans 14y agoSame, on all my devices. And I'm in the US.
- vineetdhanawat 14y agoIrony. Available in India but not in US/Canada. Confirmed on twitter https://twitter.com/videolan/statuses/219753251598385154 https://twitter.com/videolan/statuses/219753251598385154
