How does the DRParser mode work?
In older versions of Samsung devices this package com.sec.android.app.parser was a preloaded package to carry over the functioning of the factory reset option. If you want to restore your settings or device you can do a factory reset. Eventually, this leads to erasing all of your data from your phone. Once the factory reset is done it will almost be like a new phone without any of your data that was stored previously.
The parser function is to extract the manifest file from an APK, parse it and retrieve meta information it contains like the application name, description, device features, and access permission also. You can also extract the whole files of the APK and save them in a specific directory.
Why is DRParser mode not working?
Many reasons can’t be figured out easily while speaking about DRParser not working. Many times you would have noticed that once you enter the short code, the parser mode opens up and vanishes quickly. There are times when you may get only a blank white screen after entering the codes. In many cases, you can simply force-stop the calculator app and try again. This DRPrser works only using the calculator app or using your phone dialer app. So, if it is not working again, then you can try the codes in your Dialer app.
Is it safe to use DRParser mode?
DRParser is not a virus or malware that infects your device. Also, it is neither bloatware that unnecessarily occupies your device storage. It is an essential package, and when used efficiently with the shortcodes can provide a fix to your device issues. It is a service mode application that helps us in troubleshooting our device problems without taking much effort or losing any data. In most bad situations where you forget your Phone PIN, Pattern, or password you can easily get access to your device using DRParser. It’s safe if you use it in the right manner.
Limitations of DPParser
Some research shows that secret codes can spy on your phone without your knowledge. All phones have these secret codes which have a sequence of numbers, for a specific purpose. As the name itself reveals that they are not used directly using phone options. If anyone wants to read your text, or wants to spy on you then, they just need to have a couple of minutes with your phone. Typically people use spyware apps to track their partners or kids. But the other way to do it is by using these secret codes. Though these codes are very much used some codes are used to track information.
How to get rid of DRParser mode?
If you do some research on the debloater list they have mentioned this app as secure to freeze this application. It means it is safe to use and resides in your device. Anyway, if you don’t want to take risks using these shortcodes or are not interested in using this application then you can take a call to disable this application. Either, you can force stop or use any third-party apps such as package disabler, Titanium, CleanROMLite, etc to remove this application from your device.
