SonicDMG, how do I remove the signature from my posts? I am running on a droid Incredible. I've looked (I think) through all the settings menus and can't find how to edit the signature. (it's similar to annasdad's signature in #44)

@JustaMom5465 Hi there and good morning. I am taking a look at this. There should be a setting to turn this option off, but our current released version may not have that option enabled. In the interim you can always delete the signature from your message before you reply, but I completely understand how that would be annoying. I will let you know once I figure this out.

Ok, our version does not have the setting. We are looking to correct this in a future update, but I do not have a date set quite yet.

SMS Spam?

Why does the Android app need permission to read phone state and identity?
"Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like"

Soon after installing your app I began getting spam SMS messages. Are you selling my phone number to advertisers?

Hi @ccappuser. No, we do not collect or pull any personal information regarding any of our mobile app users nor do we sell any information regarding our mobile app users to outside parties. The mobile application is there for the sole purpose for you guys to have another way to communicate on CollegeConfidential. Gaining state and identity access is actually quite normal for native applications. The key part of the message is this: "Allows the application to access the phone features of the device". That can include things like the GPS receiver or simply storing cached data on the device. The way the drivers work it is an all or nothing proposition so if a developer needs access to one phone device you get access to mostly all of them even though you may only be using one or two of them. What kind of messages are you seeing? I am also using the Android version along with thousands of users and I have never received any spammy messages or heard of another user receiving them. Feel free to post here with additional questions.

Whenever I try to change to a larger font in the Settings section, the app closes. When I reopen it, I still have the "normal" font. How can I get it to accept a larger font? Also, sometimes the menu bar at the bottom disappears. How do I get it back?

Hi hornetdad - Thanks for your post. We have identified the issue you are having and are working to correct it. Also, for the bottom bar, you'll only see it when you're logged into CC in the app. This gives you access to your profile information, private messages, your subscriptions, etc. Hope that helps. Thanks again!
