Without access to the /system (ie root) then no...no we can't! ****..this lame as application is gonna ruin this phone isn't it?
I saw that too and wasn't happy. I hate to have to root my phone and image it just to get rid of that application. It hasn't asked again since the first time. Hopefully it wont ask again!

Its not verizon i had it on my alltel touch pro and i think it just puts the city name when someone you don't know calls you. It never stopped doing that for me after the trial was up and it never popped up saying i need to pay. So it might just be an extra icon you have ti live with.
It is defiantly always running in the background!

Just because it isn't exclusive to Verizon, doesn't mean its not crappy bloatware.
+1 on getting rid of this when root is achieved.
I'm new to Android to so I apologize if this is totally out there. CityID is part of the ROM so it is protected. But I imagine that Cequint must be able to push out an update for CityID or their libraries from time to time.
What if we made our own version of CityID with the same manifest that did nothing and installed it using "Unknown sources"? Would Android see our newer version and use that instead?
Is this possible or do we need to wait for root access?
If you ForceClose it the trial returns to 15 days LOL.
There are some reverse lookup apps that show the name of the caller. Skydeck is well reviewed and I'm testing it.
When my trial period ended it asked if I wanted to keep my subscription and I hit no. It then allowed me to uninstall. Has anyone else had this happen for them?

I guess I have 1 day before it expires, hope your right.
I wander if the idiot that designed the program actually gets money from people.
I have been trying to get rid of this piece of crap since I made the mistake of installing it . Dont think that I've bewn. Billed yet

Ok my free trial ran out last night, but this lame excuse of a program still runs for no reason, but to spy on my phone.
I was not able to remove the program.
This is a good reason to root this phone.
Ok so im new here and im new to the smartphone user crowd but I am pretty good with computers and think I may have found a way to remove City ID (and any other apps preloaded or not) from the Incredible. I was playing around last night and found an "Uninstall" button for City ID but I being a new user to Smartphones and honestly not yet willing to destroy my baby hehe was afraid to press it. Anyways for those (if any) of you out there are willing to try it and see what happens (im not held liable for anything if it goes wrong this is strictly your decision)..here is how you find the button:
1) Enter Astro File Manager (by default it takes you to your SD Card)
2)Hit the "UP" button, it will take you to your phone storage directory.
3)Choose the "System" folder.
4)Choose the "app" folder.
5)Scroll to "City ID". Click on it.
6)Choose "Open App Manager".
7)Voila..there is your button.
Please post if this works..alongside with any side effects etc..it would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helps someone.
Also posted this on XDA-Developers. Look there for replies too if it works. i sure hope so anyways. Search "City ID... how do you uninstall?".
EDIT: Also posted this on androidforums.com. Look there for replies too if it works. i sure hope so anyways. Search "City ID... how do you uninstall?".
No, it doesn't work. We have root now, so you can uninstall it. Someone posted directions somewhere. You just use the rm command from the terminal.
With this removed, do you still get city/state information (I imagine you would as Verizon advertises "Caller ID" as one of it's services). Was this just some moot/redundant app left in to try and make some money off of suckers?

Caller ID is name and phone number.
The translation from phone number to City/State is what CityID does. When removed, there is no display of City/State, but you still get Name and Phone number. As the translation of phone number to City/State for mobile phones is patented by the makers of CityID, Verizon can't provide that service without using the CityID application.
Hello, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:

No takers? We really need more testers!
I was installed this apk (v0.9.9.1). All went fantastic good (block call, no delay, etc.). But after 2-3 days app slow down my system and crach. Idont know why and how... I must deinstall this very good app of my think....

Update to the latest version - yours is over 2 weeks old!
People, I could really use some feedback, as we have been working hard at solving outstanding issues on galaxy s phones.
Are sms replies blocked properly? Does the new logging method work?
Works.
But the calling person hears a spilt second tone on both reject & alternate reject. Need to work on that.

You announced , you need testers for Root Call Blocker. OK, but i will apk in your thread, i really dont wont (and i cannot on my croatian region download your apk) go on Android market for downloading and testing. Can you put apk on your first post ???
Thanks

its was great, used it and my beta expired.
i really need the beta to not expire, this has the exact functionality i need.
can u provide a non expiring beta for now im in real pain !
I could provide many things, and provide them i do.
How about a pretty please in return?
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!
I was in the states and it worked fine on atrix there, thanks, saved me from the old ball and chain!
How is the new update - it should have fixed outstanding issues on the galaxy phones.
Work very well on SGS with firmware and others in signature, i cannot hear any ring if numer is blocked.....

Good to know, thanks!
Hi, sorry, but this is a translation of google translator.
To begin the work I want to thank you and tell you that the program is fantastic.
Now I mention a problem I have since version .09 to .11
I have a Galaxy_S with Darky 9.5 ROM.
When you check the "Start service on boot" and restart the terminal, marking is not maintained and I have to tick the option "Enable bloquing call" every time you reboot the phone and not being able to start the service itself.
Thanks again and best regards.
Works great on 2.3.3. Thanks a lot! =)

Well I tried the App yesterday, but I am not at all impressed with it, I mean it shouldn't be called Root Call Blocker! I Black listed my own number, and tested, there is still a small Ring coming, so the blocked user will more than easily understand the number is blocked. But in the application comment it was stated that it will be blocked from Network state! Anyway, that didn't happen for me.
It is still the fastest by miles mate! Noone will know youre blocking them - thats just paranoia.
Anyway, network state is defined by the answer to the ring. There is no other way. Even CM blocking works this way.
Hello! I saw that some users (developers) are "recognized developers". Can i be too? I made a custom ROM, and an utility (Androtility, look at my signature). If not, what must I do, and what are the benefits?
Thanks!
You should apply for that, contact the Developer Committee for further info
Good question, I dont really consider myself a developer, but I have been maintaining CM7-Ascend, just ported CM7 to the LG Optimus C LW690 with assistance from BobZhome using inferiorhumanoids repo as a base (repo is setup real nice for the LG Optimus line). And I have ported CWM to a few devices, Ascend 2 M865, Micromax A70, LG Optimus C LW690, and working on a few more. Currently working on porting CM7 to the Huawei Ascend II M865. Also have a couple of cooked ROM for the Ascend and Ascend II.
Funny question - how to become that developer
I finally realized - the proud name "recognized developer" is assigned to the person who managed to create bootable rom for his device and upload it to file hosting..... These two tasks - kitchen usage and internet skills - are quite enough.....
I suppose you would make a rom with someone's kitchen. Then clone it with the help of different lang packs to several languages. Then - upload all these roms (hopefully still bootable) to file hosting. Then - start several topics here with one link to uploaded rom in each thread.
Don't believe me? Visit HD2 Rom Development section
Just kidding Don't take yourself so damn seriously!

Hey guys, I was curious about how this works. I submitted my form and is there a cycle we wait on? Do you review all that have accumulated over two weeks and then repeat the process, or something like that? I'm not in a hurry by any means but I was just wondering how the review process works. Thanks.

To sum it up quickly...
LOADS of people apply and a few people have to sort through all the applications one at a time as and when they have free time to do so.
From what I can tell theres a lot of looking at users work and post history to determine whether or not they meet the criteria and each application can be quite time consuming so therefore it can take quite a while for applications to be processed.

Hi,
On the 14th of March i started a new project called XDA File Server. The purpose of the site is to host files for Dev's and give users a nice spot where they can find them. And so far it's been busy! 1,7TB has been uploaded allready and 11000+ vistors and more then 11000 files served!
The server it self runs on a 100mbit optic fiber line and should provide a decent speed to most people.
On the moment you'll find ROMS for the asus transformer, lg optimus 2x and xperia s (orginal firmware on the moment), i'm still expanding but it takes time and money! Hope you guys/girls like it !
the url: http://www.xdafileserver.nl
You can also follow me on xdafileserver on twitter.

*bump*
I'm still working on a easy and clean design so dont panic when you see one design first and a few seconds or minutes an other one, the downloads will go on.
Some stats so far:
almost 1000 unique vistors in only 3 days! 190GB downloaded so that's nice too. If any other dev's need xs let me know. I'll add some stock roms as well by gee one for restoring
Stock recovery might be a good addition as well.

Thanks for the tip
I'll find a good version and add it
Actually now that i think about it a good selection of tools like nvflash, adb, nachoroot, vipermod, drivers, superwipe, CWM 3.something and 5.something, Rogue recovery, other stuff that might be useful. Sort of like a one stop shopping kinda place.
This is such an awesome gesture. Thank you!
Another suggestion: Maybe you can have some pages (or the main pages) on your site link through coralcdn.org by appending .nyud.net to the domain part of your URL. By doing this, for public content, HTTP requests are automatically redirected through a custom peer-to-peer network using DNS and distributed amongst a huge number of caching proxies, reducing the load on the original server as well as bringing content closer (network topologically) to the requester.
Note: I am not connected to coralcdn.org in any way.

Good idea! I'll msg most of these dev's if they are ok with the mirror ( think they are but it's nice to do). And i'll make a folder for these things.
I'm still working on the site to make it as fast as possible for users that are on the other side of the world, but it's not going to be routed trough any dns service of anykind it's on a 100mbit fiber line it should be fast enough and it should support proper download managers (so you could resume).
I'll show some stats from this week later on
I'm in indonesia if that's far enough away for ya. Sometimes it drops out but that's at my end and it still maxes out my 3g.

Ok i've added some other developers roms to the server and i've registerd a new url for it you can now bookmark
http://www.xdafileserver.nl for all your roms!
If you are a dev or know one that needs a place to host their roms let them contact me and i'll see what i can do.
@Moderator Is it possible to sticky this topic? makes it much easier for me to keep people informed!
Ugg getting annoyed tried 15 times to download mar 27 cm9.
Keeps saying file is finished at like 15 megs.
Is there anything going on or is it just me?
edit: seems my 3g doesnt like your server. On a landline it seems to be working well.
Nopes it's running on full speed on the moment. But i'm going to change setup soon so perhaps that will fix it for you
oh and for those on 3g try: THIS and let me know of that works
Moving to a more appropriate place
I find your project very useful.
Do you consider including other devices as well?
Hi
Yes that's the general idea indeed. But i'm starting up slowly with some dev's and adding more while to goes on. First wanna see how much data this is gonna take .
A member of team xperia is uploading some files and is gonna use it for the 2011 range (and the comming 2012) after that i'll find and ask a galaxy 2 dev if he want's to mirror/host the files on my server
Just a note that the word 'you' on the website's main banner should read 'your'. As if you don't have enough to do.
Thanks for your work and such a cool idea for a Site.

On two occasions it has happened to me that the developers send me a link of their beta application to be able to install it on my watch, and it always fails. Since I don't have a Samsung phone, I don't have the Galaxy store app directly installed, but rather I have it installed through the Galaxy watch plugin and I think that's the reason, because it tells me that I have to update the Galaxy store but I can't do it. someone who can help please?attached video

I have only Samsung handsets...
Never tried other handset... from other Manufacturer.
You play with "Deep Link"... which calls Samsung App app crap...
This is not really Security... it is more Kindergarten...
All you could try... at the moment:
A
If this funny pop up came out... with "first step upgrade your Galaxy Store to the latest Version"
Try to tap around... in gray or other parts of your Display... NOT inside the white Window nor OK nor Cancel...
Start at upper corner...
Few Versions of funny Galaktik Joke App can skip such Pop Up Windows...
If no luck, please tell your App version... and maybe Link... so I could check...
There are 1000000000000000000000000 Versions of this Andromeda Running Gag.
B
There are other methods to get App and install...
Depend on your skills and how paranoid your Developer is...
My personal favorite is... TPK or WGT... then with SDB Tool:
Code:
sdb install "app"name.tpk
C
Samsung Phone...
This depend how much you want test Beta Apps...
Best Regards
Hi
First of all I'm very very happy with my phone Don't wanna change it
And I do not think that the links come out of a dangerous application sincerely, although I appreciate your advice, These links appear because I do not have the Galaxy store installed but through the wearable.
regarding the methods:
A
I tried to click on all possible parts of the link and impossible
Don't know why wanna know my version or "link"? But is v4.10.10-rc1 and as I said I can not update it as it is integrated in the wearable
B
Definitely yes, I am passionate about tizen studio and yes I have installed several apps through wgt files
C
See beginning of the post Thx
Thx & Greets
But is v4.10.10-rc1 and as I said I can not update it as it is integrated in the wearable

You have Download Link?
Maybe Special Thread for your handset...
Sorry my English is not sooooo good.
Reason for clicking weired through whole Display....
I have several Samsung Apps Versions, where I can skip/bypass this kind of forced update...
I have now limited time... maybe later I can be more specific...
About Samsung handsets...
I have more then 1 device... but only old crap...
Like GT-I9300...
And my SM-R760 is for instance my toy...
So IMHO focus on your priority.
If Beta App testing is important for you...
So alternate solution...
Toy Wear + Samsung Toy Handset...
Maybe easier and faster to manage instead "hacking" Samsungs Security """Chain"""...
Maybe family members can borrow you Samsung Phone... or neighbar or...
Best Regards
Hi, I really appreciate your effort to really help me
I do not intend to hack any Samsung system to get what I want
I am going to get it by installing the wgt through tizen studio
The main reason for my post was to make enough noise for Samsung to update the embedded Galaxy Store inside Samsung wearable.

There's one way through wpc mode but don't know how get this without resetting and don't wanna do it cause the long way to leave the watch as it was.
Any other ideas plz

Sorry.
At the moment it is impossible for me to help you...
All I can do is in last PM I wrote you...
I spend few hourS with different Samsung handsetS...
Always failed...
Wrong ODC (Version)... incompatible Watch blabla...
IMHO this is not worth...
If I have trouble with Samsung stuff... no idea if you can bypass without Samsung device... this Security Labyrinth/Chain...
IMHO easier:
A
As I told Samsung Phone...
Seems good idea to have Android 7 device...
So something like Samsung S6...
B
If your Developer is friendly enough... he can share the Beta App in other wayS...
But if he is also so paranoid like Samsung... because paid App...
I have to give up on this...
Sorry.
