Samsung Security Policy Update SPD_v2_1409_2_1 requires the following permissions:

Allows read/write access to the "properties" table in the checkin database, to change values that get uploaded.

Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.

Allows applications to access information about networks.

Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.

Allows an application to broadcast sticky intents. These are broadcasts whose data is held by the system after being finished, so that clients can quickly retrieve that data without having to wait for the next broadcast.

Allows applications to change network connectivity state.

Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.

Allows applications to open network sockets.

Allows modification of the telephony state - power on, mmi, etc. Does not include placing calls.

Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.

Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

Allows an application to receive WAP push messages.

Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
