Unable to retrive Build.MANUFACTURER on device HTC6435LVW Droid DNA Deluxe

Question

This looks like a very basic question.

I am unable to retrieve a few basic information like Build.MANUFACTURER, Build.MODEL, and Build.V

Answer 1

this is returning "unknown" from user space; if we place the same app in system space its returning proper values.

I tried by invoking methods/fields with reflectionfrom android.os.Build.java / SystemProperties.java files still no use...

Not sure why HTC wants to hide such info..
