HANDJOJO 8 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Dear all, Last night I received the update of ESET Mobile Security version 4.3.7.0-0 and give me a announcement that due to New Google Play Permission Restrictions some of features removed: SMS & Call Filter, SMS Text Command, Trusted Friends. Please see the attachement Through this forum please give me the advice how to check the device location and to remote lock if my mobile phone lost as in the "My.ESET.Com" didn't have the remote Anti theft command. Awaiting the advice. Thanks & B/regards, Edited December 21, 2018 by HANDJOJO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ECELeader 1 Posted December 21, 2018 Please ESET provide an optional apk download from your site where the app has SMS text commands and other security features that Google forbids through play store policies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HANDJOJO 8 Posted December 22, 2018 ESET Please bring back the capability to download the apk file to avoid less function of the Anti Theft and SMS & Call Filter due to Google Play Permission Restrictions. Awaiting the information. Thanks & B/regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seb_219 0 Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks. But when I download and install the new apk file, it works , but I don't find how to import my parameters. In fact I would like to keep my old parameters Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ECELeader 1 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the apk link, but the version offered there is older than the Play Store version. Also, will it notify users to download new version when needed? Edited December 22, 2018 by ECELeader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seb_219 0 Posted December 28, 2018 Hi, Is someone can tell me how to recover my old list of numbers in the "SMS/call filter" menu ? I have tried many things without success. I have spent time to build this list. Many thanks. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use my registered paid for Play Store email, but the APK just keeps telling me I have no internet, which - as you can read - is not the case, and ends in error. Why won't apk d/l version use/retrieve Play Store license? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panman 0 Posted January 7 So, SMS & Call Filter was the primary reason I got ESET for Android. Why would ESET let Google dictate what functions they can provide and what are we supposed to use now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have the right to do it even if the others dislike some of their policies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Google can make an exception for ESET as anti theft SMS command is a core function of Anti-Theft. Edited January 7 by ECELeader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panman, you can get all these features back by downloading the APK directly from ESET and installing it yourself. However, you will have to check in with ESET customer service to get your license key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with this release, it is not possible to import parameters, while it is possible to export parameters with Google Play release. Is there a solution ?
