Garmin checking call logs more frequently than phone app

Former Member over 9 years ago

OK, I posted this a moment ago but the thread seems to have become broken.

I noticed today that the Garmin Connect app regularly accesses and reads my call log. More frequently, in fact, than the phone app, or any other app.

Why does it need to access my call log at all?

It's all explained in the sticky at the top which was updated 2 weeks ago:

I run a version of Android (a custom rom on a rooted device) which allows me to allow or deny individual app permissions. I have denied GCM access to my call log. It doesn't affect the way GCM works for me, but it does mean I have disabled part of its functionality.

From Android 6.0 on this will be a standard feature in Android. I believe it already is in IoS.
