Description
We advertise support for this on all relevant devices. @chenxiaolong what device were you testing with?
Sorry, I completely missed that in /product/etc/sysconfig/. I was only looking in /system/. Google Play may be using another mechanism to determine which variant of the Google Dialer APK to download then.
@chenxiaolong We might accept a temporary workaround implementing a special case which sends a status request in place of an activate request when we detect the MNC and MCC to be owned by T-Mobile USA. The ultimate goal will be to implement support for their new HTTP API though, however that may take time to be reviewed.
I got a chance to test on every line in my family's account and this workaround appears to only work on 2 out of our 5 lines. It's not universally usable and probably isn't worth the effort to add a temporary workaround.
I suspect this was done to reduce risk of malicious parties hacking into IMAP mailboxes by sniffing SMS traffic for VVM credentials.
Agreed. The new HTTP API is quite ugly in some aspects, but it does require 3GPP-GBA authentication for every single request. No more non-expiring IMAP credentials.
