Not sure what's going on exactly, but if your service has the BIND_TELECOM_CONNECTION_SERVICE permission specified it should be fine, you're not using the permission just preventing an entity without that permission from binding to yours.
What permissions do you have in your manifest? Mine has the following 3 (sorry, it's been a while since I've looked at the project so they may not all be needed): <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REGISTER_CALL_PROVIDER" /> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
