Anyone notice how this subject matter has suddenly become a supposedly hot topic in the media recently with continuous time given on all channels on TV to the recent revelation that the iPhone stores all sorts of personal data in a hidden file on the iPhone!
With whole countries like South Korea suddenly being spurred to take action to see if Apple doing this is illegal, to me, the only surprising bit was that the file is apparently unused.. No one seems to have noticed that the Google user agreement demands that you let them do this and much more before you can use an Android phone for lots of non-google apps as I suggested in the OP. As I have suggested, I dont know why, but I have no problem with my carrier doing this but somehow it seems odd for Google to remind you / demand constantly that you let them do this every time you install a new non-google app. Anyway it is I suppose reassuring that you can obviously turn this off. Most of the context of all this is in the field of private banking where these smartphones are being used for all sorts of REALLY sensitive information and they are quite easy to hack into: I wonder if the answer to any of this lies here: http://www.pinoyview.com/video/c9739347688571d/Privacy-Enhancing-Technologies-for-Mobile-Applications&source=video&vgc=rss&usg=AFQjCNERCDN6o1giryxTIMnGGlsReHBLLw On Mar 31, 9:51 pm, lbendlin <l...@bendlin.us> wrote: > to (half) answer your original question - you can disable data services in > your phone settings.
