<html><head></head><body>It requires the play store app and services to be running. The play store has the location tracker.<br>
<br>
I found, by digging, the location history that stuff collected. It was detailed enough that it could stand up in court as a method to place me near a crime scene or exonerate me. So I went through and turned it all off. The gmail app then barfed warnings about missing functionality until some tracking stuff was reactivated. Additionally, I found no way to stop gmail from respecting my choice for firefox. I frequently get news notices from a friend I travelled to Ireland with. Gmail started using only chrome for links. Chrome has no method to flush browser history that I could find.<br>
<br>
K-9 works just fine. Firefox works just fine. Cuprum pdf viewer is pretty crappy (can only display first of a multi-page pdf).<br>

I have a nice, new Oneplus 5 and I'm very close to doing a full wipe and install only apps from freedroid.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On August 28, 2017 2:10:01 AM EDT, Alex Carver <agcarver+ale@acarver.net> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
