Why does the app need the "READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY" and "RECORD AUDIO" permissions?

Why does the app need the "READ PHONE STATUS AND IDENTITY" and "RECORD AUDIO" permissions? Your own instructions advise the user to disable the cell network radio.

This app previously supports Android 1.6 (donut) and the system will automatically assign READ PHONE STATUS permissions when you declares a targetSdk version of less than 4 (donut)

This permission is needed by flurry for statistic reporting purposes.

The permission for "RECORD AUDIO" is legacy code inherited from code used in another app. Already removed in the version 0.2 onwards.
