What it is
Used to send AT command messages from/to the modem
Attention commands commands are a collection of short-string commands developed in the early 1980s
that were designed to be transmitted via phone lines and control modems. Different AT command strings can be merged together
to tell a modem to dial, hang up, or change connection parameters.
Smartphones include a basic modem component inside them, which allows the smartphone to connect to the Internet
via its telephony function.
This can be abused. It's been known for many years that Android devices are vulnerable to attacks carried out via AT commands.
Commands
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.atfwd
To put it back:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.qualcomm.atfwd
Every removal listed here is per-user only: the system image is untouched, and the restore command puts the app back from the copy already on the device. Nothing is downloaded.
