Permission Denial: Reading Com.android.providers.contacts.calllogprovider

I'm getting this exception on a specific phone and carrier: Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon. I've tested in an Evo with Sprint and a Galaxy Nexus with AT&T and none give me this e

Solution 1:

Allows an application to read the user's call log.

Note: If your app uses the READ_CONTACTS permission and both your minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values are set to 15 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your targetSdkVersion is 16 or higher.

Constant Value: "android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG"

According to your manifest: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="9"></uses-sdk>

Maybe you should try removing the READ_CONTACTS permission, or set targetSdkVersion="9"
