which one of these permissions in manifest says I'm reading phone call information?

Question

I have a few permissions in my manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

When I go to install my application, it says it has access to: "Phone calls - read phone state and identity." Which of these permissions is triggering that warning? I never read phone call information. Is it my use of PowerManager.isScreenOn() ?

By a process of elimination, I would suggest it was: ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE as none of the others are specifically to do with the phone.

that's kind of lame. It seems to overscare the user, but all I'm doing is accessing WifiManager. That has nothing to do with phone calls. – gnychis Jul 07 '12 at 15:49

eek, it turned out to be this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1747178/android-permissions-phone-calls-read-phone-state-and-identity – gnychis Jul 07 '12 at 16:03

It turned out to be an issue with a bug where you need to at least specify a minimum SDK of 4:

Android permissions: Phone Calls: read phone state and identity

none of these are related to read phone call info. As it should be like .READ_PHONE_STATE(read phone call). I think it must be because of ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE.
