It is not documented, AFAIK. > Is it related to some carrier or some constructor ? If by "constructor" you mean "device manufacturer", then yes -- the value comes from the device manufacturer. For example, it exists on devices that have no telephony function and therefore have no carrier. Note that it resides in a system database and can be modified by people who root their devices. Also note that, while the docs say it is supposed to be a hex string, not all device manufacturers appear to honor that. > Is it related to > google apps ?

That is a legal question, so please ask your attorney. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
