So I am forced to use a product with potential DHS issues because my carrier is too busy making money to maintain their customers products while suing them to block them from fixing it themselves.<br>
<br></div>And why should carrier foo care what OS is running on the phone I bought from them on a 2 year contract that I keep paying for? what financial gain to they get by my having a security risk on their network?<br></div>

By stating with google devices, you prevent the network-provider delays in<br>
getting updated OS releases. It also means you run the reference platform for<br>
Android.<br>
