So far, received no confirmation about why, but I suspect giving ADB commands (pm grant specifically) is against Play Store policy (?).
The app will never be reinstated as-is, and has been superseded by a new app "3C Logs". Not by choice.
Unfair treatment
Here is the reason invoked by Google automated system:
During review, we found that your app violates the policy for section 4.9 of the Developer Distribution Agreement (DDA):
You will not engage in any activity with Google Play, including making Your Products available via Google Play, that interferes with, disrupts, damages, or accesses in an unauthorized manner the devices, servers, networks, or other properties or services of any third party including, but not limited to, Google or any Authorized Provider. You may not use user information obtained via Google Play to sell or distribute Products outside of Google Play.
For example, your app currently contains the facilitation or provides instructions on how to hack services, software or hardware, or circumvent security protections.
Please note that suspensions count as strikes against the good standing of your Google Play Developer account. Egregious or multiple policy violations can result in suspension, as can repeated app rejections or removals.

If you search for "adb pm grant" on Play Store, you'll find hundredth of apps breaching this policy. Only if one considers that it circumvent a security protections. However this granting permission through ADB is only possible since Android 5 and it's not protected in any ways.
When trying to discuss this matter with Google, the only reply is automated:
Hi Developer,
Thanks for contacting the Google Play team.
Unfortunately I'm not able to comment on your planned implementation. If you think your app is in compliance, please submit your app for another review. You may want to review the Developer Program Policies for additional policy guidance.
Please note that suspensions count as strikes against the good standing of your Google Play Developer account. Egregious or multiple policy violations can result in suspension, as can repeated app rejections or removals.
Thanks for your understanding

Actually, I'll take a look at it and perhaps write a review for my blog.
On second thoughts, I've just read all the comments on your website and think I'd rather have a fully working phone, so I won't be installing it - At least have an application that doesn't
1) Require a purchase before users can restore their phone functionality - That's extortion.
2) Actually works after the purchase.
I dont see the extra value of such an app. It is working fine as it is, so why change it. And than to read all strange things about it, from lots of different people, I really am not willing to test it.
Simple as that...

It's worse than trial-ware, it's extortion ware, given they do not allow you to 'fix' the phone state once that trial period has run out
Try to find 2.3 version - is free.
Lite versions are allowed on XDA. Trial ware, as stated above, are not allowed apps in this site.
If you would still like to feature this app on this site, please create a lite-free version (no expiration) and you can share that with the community.
Please feel free to pm me if you have any questions.
Thread closed until compliance is met.
Recently, I found that the "Android System Info" app below is using Flurry Agent to send data / report via 3G/internet whenever I start using it. At least, it came out in the logging.
Do you know any alternative that does not use Flurry Agent?
I hate that thing because it uses 3G/internet and it cannot be disabled
I know Astrid is using Flurry Agent as well, but it can be disabled.

i believe that is for the download of the ADs to sustain their income & development
use Adfree perhpas?
Well, I think that is not ads ... Ads should be the AdMob SDK or something in the logging.
Flurry Agent is about analytic:
http://www.flurry.com/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=673146
To be honest, I don't mind with ads ... Especially if that can support the dev and the app is good.
But, I don't like sending usage pattern, statistical data, usage analysis, that kind of things.

Many devs find analytics to be important information to them.
You could edit your hosts file manually to block any flurry.com urls...
Not rooted, you cant do that.
Good developer will add an option to disable this, like Astrid.

Your last sentence doesn't quite sit right for some reason, but I agree overall.
Something in the back of my mind tells me there's a revenue stream to the developers who include this. Like flurry pays them a royalty for data collected. That needs confirmation, but while many devs put stuff out for the love of the device, many more need to get some income off the app to stay interested in developing/maintaining it. We all want "free" apps, but we're going to have to get used to either paying up in cash, or paying up in seeing ads, or paying up by having some analytics collected on us.
I don't want my phone spied on either. Best thing you can do is uninstall the apps that spy on you without the feature to turn it off, give the app a 1-star rating on the market, and leave a comment that it collects analytics on you and you don't like that. Kind of lousy thing to do an app that's otherwise top-notch. If enough people uninstall and bad rate these apps, the devs will get the hint and stop doing it.
As for not rooted, there's no reason not to root the Nexus S. There are hundreds of reason to root, though. Blocking ads and spyware is just one of them.
You don't even have to unlock the bootloader to do it, easy instructions here; no loss of data with that method.
Hello
Information:
Just 2 hours ago I have been hacked and I think that was in my phone. I was making a paypal payment to a friend using the paypal app when sudently, seconds after sending the payment I received a mail of paypal with that transaction and another one of 2.500€ that obviously I never did.
The payment was never make because I don't have so many funds, but they tried 5 times with different quantities and all of my cards. Well, after seeing this I changed my password and all of that **** and right now I want to know before I make a clean rom install if I could investigate where the hack came from.
I am using a Galaxy note 3, it is rooted but limited apps have access to root and I also use xprivacy.
The apps with access to root and the xposed modules are this ones

What I want
I want to investigate if is possible a little bit more of this. I was thinking on restoring a Titanium of all my apps to yesterday, open logcat or any app that can help me to know where the leak came and what app was the malware and try to make another legit transaction to see if happens anything from my phone.
The problem is that I don't really know how should I proceed and I want to solve this for me and more people.
Any idea?
Is the network you used secure out of curiosity? What kind of apps do you have as far as security just curious?
You could try taking a look at some of the applications' play store reviews as well as the modules' forum threads to see if anything had been reported. I'm always very cautious with root permissions, hard to always know what an app will use it for. Personally I stick to my PC for transactions and stay as far away from Google wallet as I can

There's a VirusTotal app you could try, maybe one of your apps is malicious. But if you'd know how to, I'd also just copy all the apps to your PC and then upload them to VirusTotal that way, it'd be a lot easier.
There's also some pc malware out that can infect your phone even. I'd run a decent anti virus on both your phone and your pc as well. (I like Kaspersky, Malwarebytes and ESET personally).
The other thing too is maybe your passwords are just really weak. I'd recommend a password generator like Keepass.
Fyi only

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share with you what we've been working on and released finally yesterday to the store. Will always be FREE and WITHOUT ADS.
Securacy is the first mobile network data application exposer. This software allows you to pinpoint exactly which applications are breaking your concerns in terms of permissions, to where the application talks and if that connection was established over a secure protocol.
Do you want:
- To know what your applications are doing without you knowing?
- To know where your applications are sending data?
- To know how safe is your application?
- To voice your privacy and security concerns?
- To notify others of potential security and privacy invasive applications?
Then this application is for YOU!
=== Data statement ===
Securacy does not collect any personal data. The only data it collects is:
- Your explicit ratings and concerns;
- The applications you use, install, remove and update (to notify you of securacy concerns);
- The details of the network connections that your applications use to send/receive data. This only includes the IP addresses of the servers, and the ports used by the connection. No other data is collected about network connections.
You can find it on the store
Let me know if you have more ideas for it, we are still developing it!
Cheers!

this app made my phone freaking slow! it just keep popping to start the accessibility service though it's on.app crashed when click to show,& app is really slow!log attached.
Sorry to hear that. I took a look at the logcat but it doesn't give me much to go on.
Can you tell me what device are you using, Android version, is it a custom ROM, do you have Google Services installed (it's required for the GMaps)? My guess is that for some reason your device is not returning the list of active accessibility services correctly or at all. If that is the case, then it's better for you to not use it, unfortunately.
Thanks!

Hello! I have a lot of apps on Google Play. Some of them have more than 500.000+ downloads, one even about 2.000.000. Since there is a war in my country (I'm from Ukraine), I haven't been developing apps or monitoring my Google Play profile for a long time, more than a year.
During this time, I received one suspension of an unpopular app because of a double interpretation of a phrase in the description of the main page of the live wallpaper ("Saves maximum battery" - I meant that it was a resource and energy-efficient app, but the Google Play administration decided that this is a function that cannot be implemented physically and suspended the application according to the Deceptive Behavior policy), and several removed applications, because I placed links to my other Google Play applications in the settings and did not notice it as advertising.
Now that I have the opportunity to work again, I looked at the statistics and was shocked - my top apps that had more than 5,000+ installs per day don't even have 10.
I also finished and published two apps that I had started to develop before the full-scale Russian invasion. But unfortunately, in two weeks they don't even have 500 installs, and almost all of this traffic is from users of my other old apps.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is this a shadow ban or just a natural process when you don't pay attention to apps on Google Play for a long time?
IMO there is no way to tell for sure if Google Play has imposed a shadowban.

I haven't really contacted Google support yet, but it's unlikely that it will help. Instagram and TikTok also do not officially recognize shadow bans, but they definitely exist.

Gookill does this crap wholesale with their search engine so I wouldn't doubt they do it whenever they like. Especially for money.
