No more purse-dialing or accidental calls! This app gives you a chance to confirm any outgoing calls before they are dialed. Shows you the contact name (if a contact) and the number being called. This app is the donate (no ads) version of Outgoing Call Confirm.

Features:

- Setting to Vibrate and/or play a tone when making an  outgoing call.
- App can be disabled temporarily without the need to uninstall and re-install.
- Auto-detect bluetooth headset devices. When a BT Headset is connected the confirm dialog does not come up.
- Intercepted calls are recorded in a separate call log (press Menu to clear the log).
- 30-Second Timeout (the call will be aborted automatically if you do not confirm within 30 seconds)
- Option to exclude selected contacts
- Option to show only the phone number (works faster if you have many contacts)
- Shake-to-Confirm (new option) shaking the phone confirms the call

About the Permissions

This app requires these permissions to operate (and why):

- Process Outgoing Calls. Needed to intercept the outgoing call before it is dialed
- Calling a number. This permission, together with reading and modifying the phone state, are needed because the only way to implement the Call Intercept feature is to actually abort the outgoing call first, then ask for your permission, and then re-dial the same number (if approved).
- Internet Access. Needed for Flurry (www.flurry.com) to get reports of crashes, etc. Flurry does not send out your information, it only tells me that there is a problem with some particular brand, device or Android OS version.
- Read Contacts. This permission is used to check the phone number being dialed against your contact list. If the number is a contact the message will tell you the name of the person you are calling. Your contacts are not used for any other purpose.
- Bluetooth. Needed to auto-detect when a bluetooth device is in use.
- Vibrate

Apps by Permission (v. 2.0)

OK, so now that you have installed that ton of apps in your phone, how can you tell which app can do what? Which apps have access to make calls? Which ones can send text messages?

This application gives you a list of all your apps organized in one of two ways:

1) By Permission.
Apps appear under each individual permission that they have (make calls, access your location, access your identity and so on).

2) App by App
All apps in a scrollable list. Each app is shown with all the different permissions it has.

If you suspect that an app is misbehaving this might be the first place to look! For example:
  
* If your phone seems to have a mind of its own, and is calling numbers you did not dial use this app to narrow down the list of suspects to only the apps that have the permission to make outbound calls.
  
* See which apps have dangerous rights.
  
* See which apps can access your personal information, contacts, calendar, mail etc.

  
Features:

* Setting to ignore apps by Google (there will be a lot of these in your phone and we can safely assume that Google is not misusing the permissions).
    
* Setting to ignore all the internal OS android stuff (ditto, these are in every phone, and we can reasonably assume that they are all good).
