com.verizon.obdm_permissions

A companion package to Verizon's D-MAT service that, going by its name, declares the permissions that service uses. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.

What it does

This package travels with Verizon's D-MAT service (com.verizon.obdm). Its name marks it as a permissions package: the kind that declares custom permissions which carrier components use to talk to each other, and which usually has no code that runs on its own. Verizon has not documented it, and it has no icon or screen.

If you disable it

Unknown. Removing it while D-MAT is still active may cut that service off from access it relies on, so disable both or neither.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.verizon.obdm_permissions

adb shell pm enable com.verizon.obdm_permissions

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.verizon.obdm_permissions

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.verizon.obdm_permissions

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Not documented; a permissions package normally stores and sends nothing itself.
