I am so glad you guys observe well. I removed the SecretModemApk when adjusting my settings the first time as well as this APk. Not sure of the effect , but i couldn't find any research. It has not affected my usage.

Also look at the this apk.PC Outlook Synkronisering PCSCII.odex Maybe im wrong but isn't that a typo as well as the . The HTC mail widgets app has some weird spelling to it as well. I removed all of them and my phone still seems to be functioning well

Edit Stand corrected. Outlook syncing seems to have removed the syncing ability.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aauussttiinn88:
i think im gonna just go back to 1.5 i mean its just a fishy thought. I know there is no evidence of this being malicious but if it has any correlation with the google sign in thing that would be bad. i wish there was some other way i could look in to it or more literature to decipher what it does and why its even there
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bitbang3r:
Yeah, but let's not forget about what could have been the ultimate pwn3ge in history: the way the first few releases of ActivePerl installed themselves as a first-class scripting engine for Internet Explorer. Someone could have literally put embedded Perl into a web page's <script language="PerlScript">...</script> block and had it wipe most of the hard drive before Windows itself crashed when someone (almost certainly someone from the upper-crust of the Windows Elite) visited the page... someone likely to be utterly humiliated, by virtue of being one of the very people who should (in retrospect) have known better.

I think the only thing that saved us from that one was the knowledge by anyone likely to exploit it that it would have almost certainly meant the instant death of Perl in the win32 universe, and the aftershocks would have probably been a fatal blow to it in LinuxLand, too (even if Larry Wall himself had nothing to do with ActivePerl or their scripting-engine madness). The people who could have easily exploited it liked Perl too much to risk destroying it in an act of silly mass vandalism.

I'm using Fresh 2.0b and I don't have SecretControlModem.apk anywhere. Checked /system/app, /data/app, and /data/app-private. You guys that have this file on your phone, are you using Fresh 2.0b or something else?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blampars:
Same here.

I think they're all on DamageControl, tho don't quote me on that :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] networx2002:
After removing those files i didnt get a gmail sign-in error :confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aauussttiinn88:
maan..change that bit**
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 98classic:
yea because damage's rom is half eris or something of the sort, if this is the case they should be in 2b2 as it is also mashed with the eris build. 2b isnt the same build, thats what im running and i dont have those apk's.

anyone post on the eris side see if they have it on their "stock" builds? or anywhere on their phones?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tejasrichard:
I have all the roms saved...i'll open them real quick and see....

Edit: It is in:

Gumbo 2.1

DamageControl

2.1v2.0

not in:

2.0b

Darchdroid

DarchLegend
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ccapasso:
A co-worker of mine has the Droid Eris. I just borrowed it, and used Astro File Manager to check and see.

Sure enough, listed under system/app is indeed the two files:

SecretControlModem.apk

SecretControlModem.odex

Her phone is Stock Eris.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] athlet1c:
Great info . I appreciate the feedback
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sefferdog:
Mystery solved.................. :p Orrrrrrrrr....... It is a huge conspiracy to harvest all of our personal information and you are in on it. ****, we are really in a quandary now. [J/K]
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] giovannizero:
Not nessisarily, the screenshots could just be thrown in the ram.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] blehzz:
I removed them and no longer get the google sign-on error :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gthing:
If that is indeed what this program was doing, it would be unlikely that it stored images in ram until it had a chance to upload them.

But it looks like we don't have to worry anyway.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 98classic:
there you go, might be some verizon bs bloatware.

edit: thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] athlet1c:
I have removed a while ago and still get the sign in errors
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] networx2002:
Same here. went away then came back :confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
I looked at the files and there is also some mention of text mssg. I am wondering if this is required in order to be able to shutdown the phone if it is lost using something like wave secure or the other apps that allow you to send a text to a lost phone and lock it or wipe it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] someonenewhere:
whatever the file is...I removed it...

it would be a trojan password grabber etc...

I don't care..point is I don't want no crap like that in my phone..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
I removed them and I as well no longer got the google sign on error. But I also no longer got my gmail unless I did a manual sync. After replacing them, I am able to have my gmail sync automatically again and I can get access to it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sleejay:
definately verizon, sprint builds don't have this
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 98classic:
Crap like what dude? U dont even know what it is/does. This is how rummors get started, by ignorant people. One guy said he checked a stock verizon eris and the file is there. Its becoming more evident its something for the verizon network since no sprint leaks have it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] centran:
verizon probably put it on there to check if their customers are using google maps or a different visual voicemail so they can charge them an extra $4 a month because that is what they charge to use their convenient apps.... hahaa

Probably not but I wouldn't put it past those evil bastards.

... ... ...

Actually, now that I think about it. I bet you it has something to do with tethering because they charge you for that too.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] troyboytn:
OK....after deleting this apk and odex, I amstill able to sync gmail, all other functions work but here is the kicker......no resignin to google at boot and also got rid of that nagging voicmail waiting icon. Rebooted 3 times to confirm. This works.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ElAguila:
I guess depending upon you system it has small differences. After I removed it I was only able to sync with gmail if I did a manual sync. For some reason I no longer have that login to gmail bug when rebooting now even with this files still there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] someonenewhere:
go away you troll...you're a known troll around here..GO AWAY, pack your bags. GO AWAY....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 98classic:
Lol typical, troll because youre ignorant grow up and stop calling people idiots through pm. Lameass noob.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] obelisk79:
another way to cross-verify that this is in fact a piece of verizon bloat, would be to check a moto-droid dump.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Sefferdog:
I removed them and still have to sign in, no biggie though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] obelisk79:
I checked a /system dump from the moto-droid and the files were not there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] someonenewhere:
This message is hidden because 98classic is on your ignore troll list.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 98classic:
im too lazy to go to the eris side and post to see if they have them on the stock phones, one person said he checked, anyone else have axes to one? i dont know anyone on verizon =\
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gbhil:
As was said on the 2nd page, those files come from the Eris dump. Only ROM's that use the Eris dump will have them.

you sir, are useless. Scratch that. You're spreading silly ideas which make you worse than useless. Please think before you use that keyboard.

They are there. They are also in the Incredible dump. It's an HTC/Verizon conspiracy to make us all act like idiots, and for some folks it's working :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] troyboytn:
hehehe funny gbhill! i couldnt agree more:)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] someonenewhere:
gbhil didn't you tell some people to remove it?

NOBODY know's what exactly they do ....care to explain ?

and just to let you know, I wasn't the only person that thought it might be some sort of trojan/malware...

so therefor I'm going to stand by what I typed..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wcgbmd:
Don't be a tard. Gbhil is a respected member of the community. He never made the actual Eris Leak, if it does wind up being something bad then its not his fault. The Leaked build was most likely intended for Verizon testers only and is a way to "phone home". "SecretControlModem", that sounds like a way for Verizon to keep tabs on their employees or a way for verzion to keep tabs on their customers... either way remove the file and move on. Future 2.1 development will have this removed if it doesn't break anything.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] someonenewhere:
wcmbmd I am aware who gbhil is and I know he didn't make the Eris Leak, nor I'm accussing anybody who has worked with these latest roms.

I didn't make this thread, so don't put this whole thing on me!

I replied and I speculated like the rest of us were asking themselves what it was..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kniteshift:
lol.. he didn't "tell people to remove it," he said the phone is still functional if you do decide to remove it.

Big difference.

secretcontrolmodem hidden app

sorry if this is unknown news, i ran the application on my 2.1 eris. it runs contol modem ver 1.11 and has one button for enable/disable modem link. it was disabled by default, when connected to usb and you click enable windoze detects HTC modem no driver, gonna go hunt down an htc modem driver and play around. oh and I got there by opening phone app and dialing *#*#936478#*#*

(the secret code is found in the apps apk manifest xml)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
ive got the HTC diag drivers if that helps? attached
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] forty oz:
thanks thedudejdog, unfortunately it seems i already have those drivers, its strange because I use qpst and it already works and has detected an Android Modem, but still the HTC modem is unknown, it has its own unique hardware id which is USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C88&REV_0100&MI_03

rendering any driver i have tried already useless.

might have to try to manually force an htc modem driver...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] forty oz:
I have attached everything I have extracted out of the apk that comes on eris roms, maybe someone can get more information about the app this way.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] forty oz:
So far this looks like this app was for htc to throw debug commands to the modem.. or maybe to test tethering without restrictons from carrier? I dont have as much freetime as i thought to further explore this. I hope someone can solve the mystery or find practical use for this program. Good luck and peace out.

Hi, exist any apk to Bluetooth file transfer for Tattoo? (Sorry for my Eng.)

Thx.
[Click Themes and Apps] mobisat:
This requires android 2.1 as far as I know, but we stuck with 1.6 just now.
[Click Themes and Apps] jporch316:
No app for this feature until / if Tattoo is upgraded to android 2.1
[Click Themes and Apps] dmsameeram:
Re:

I love this phone,but still waining for Eclair upgrade.

Hope they integrate BT file transfer in 2.1.
[Click Themes and Apps] ludilo:
yes they did that.
[Click Themes and Apps] yatindroid:
no 1.6 is not problem sense is main problem xperia x10 (1.6)

& other work fine BT

tattoo can do without sense & framework but there is no rom without sense

Forget 2.1 on tattoo it is dead for htc they promoting wildfire/buzz (in india approx same price for both)
[G1 Accessories] G_won:
Is It Just me or is there an issue with Android & (some) Bluetooth Stereo Devices?

Using a Jabra BT3030 I get the lovely convenience of receiving a phonecall and wirelessly listening to music but, it just seems VERY buggy at times. The main thing is after being on a call (mostly receiving a call but many times making a call also bugs things up) and trying to play music or any audio in the G1, sound just stutters baaadly :(

Thought it was just when my G1 was rooted but as I run it on stock still get the same thing. When I toyed around with the Motorola Droid in Verizon store the other day after wowing myself and seeing that it had a working phone signal I paired my headset to it and played music & watched youtube vids on there... after calling the Droid phone and then trying to play back sounds guess what? Stuttering playback!!

The stuttering stops when I turn the Jabra off then back on but (a) this is annoying for obvious reasons (b) there may be times when things are finicky with pairing/re-pairing headset with phone. There's other little annoyances here & there like some lag @ times when trying to pause/ff/rw but the stuttering crap annoys me and going by the Droid running 2.0 it's still a problem then.

Thus I'm wondering how everyone's experience is with whatever bluetooth stereo (A2DP) device their pairing with their G1's (or any other android device you using). I'm hoping it isn't just my Jabra BT3030 but sadly accept the possibility it -could- be the culprit :(. Phonecalls for the most part are clear even while sound goes through buggy (altho I had a couple moments where the phone would reboot when a call comes in on my Dream but didn't happen in a while *knocks on wood*).

:)
[G1 Accessories] Imperial.mack:
I am also having problems with my Jabra BT3030. Im using BlueMagic MKrII ROM. Major issue is that I cannot go foward or backwards between tracks, nor pause or play. Only the volume works. And I've noticed that when I artivate the google voice app, my music stutters from then on. :confused:

For those who bricked, or afraid to brick..or have another reason to replace their Hero

http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...enrollment-for-total-equipment-protection-tep

There. I mentioned this in a post somewhere, but I thought I'd let everyone know.
[Hero CDMA General] dmitriandsnow:
will this cover a rooted phone?
[Hero CDMA General] athlet1c:
Not if they know its rooted . IT breaks policy
[Hero CDMA General] dmitriandsnow:
Yeah but, doesn't Sprint charge like 100 bucks for out-of-policy replacements? I just don't want to be charged 500 dollars for a new phone...
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
No, they charge $100 to replace phone regardless, but there are some ways to work around.

If they know your phone is rooted and they gave you a new one they charge you 500.
[Hero CDMA General] dmitriandsnow:
oh ok yeah that's what i was thinking... don't they charge you extra 125 if you brick it, for "damaged beyond repair" ?
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
Uh...From the policy, it sounds like it doesn't matter what you do to it that it's 50 or 100 bucks. I'm just saying there's some grounds for arguing. Isn't that why we pay the 7 bucks a month for it?
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Insurance.... i hate dealing with that department
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
I'm pretty sure that Asurion will cover you regardless of what's happened to the phone. Insurance isn't the same as your carrier's warranty dept.
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
You can always lose a rooted phone..
[Hero CDMA General] NCX001:
Yeah the policy covers lost or stolen phones. So you'll have a bricked hero with a bad esn and nice new $100 hero.
[Hero CDMA General] dmitriandsnow:
waiting for someone to say it's fraud...:D
[Hero CDMA General] coldsweat:
The 7 dollar a month fee to insure a ~$100 piece of equipment is pure comedy gold.

I wouldn't lose 2 seconds of sleep over "losing" a year old phone and having it replaced with something a bit newer. People can shake their fists to the sky and cry fraud till they turn blue in the face.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
I was told that it was $50 bucks to get a new phone if I break my current one. Seems kinda lame to pay $7 bucks a month and still have to pay $100 bucks to get another phone. And I would bet refurbished too! :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
I work for sprint and its 7$ a month regardless of your phone, it will cover, theft, loss, water and physical damage.

for basic phones and devices its a 50$ asurion claim for smart devices such as android, blackberrys, palms etc... its a 100$ claim. Personally I believe its worth it if you have a 600$ phone at retail, but id recommend removing it from the phone after say a year.

also whats SOOOOOO annoying is when people come in with a damaged phone, liquid or whatever they ar AMAZED that they have to pay more for the insurance claim. they will say "i already pay 7$ a month"

do people not have insurance on their car, house, health etc...

you ALWAYS pay a monthly fee and then whatever the deductible is.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
where did that "change esn thread" go again ;)
[Hero CDMA General] dmitriandsnow:
Can someone help me out. Im trying to make a right decision here. My hero is rooted AND i spilt liquid on it which disabled my touch screen and my phone app(process.anroid.acore). I don't have the 7dollar TEP plan. Should i try the RUU before i send it back? If it bricks with a 110 error, am i more justified sending that than sending them a semi-functional rooted Hero with a disabled screen? I really don't want to pay 500 for this "because i rooted". As far as it all goes, it was the water that destroyed the phone not root access.
[Hero CDMA General] schizopunk:
It's pretty nice. The Sprint store I go to the guys are really cool there and honestly they could give two s*its if the phone is rooted or not. I've gotten a new phone with having insurance cause something was wrong with my phone... it was rooted and they could care less.

So it really all depends on the guys you get at the store really, I guess... hope they're cool with it, hah.

The guy at my Sprint store even told me that pretty much all the employees rooted their phones as well cause they wanted better functionality & when they saw I had 2.1 on my Hero they all went ga ga over the new features. It was pretty funny.
