I use Android and I'm not interested in messing around with custom ROMs. This really chains me to having a google account unfortunately. I really wish the Firefox phone had worked out. Maybe the Ubuntu phone will succeed there.
- pmontra 10y agoYou don't have to use that account for anything except Google Play. I use Maps and YouTube without being logged in, no GMail. I use Drive for the customers that use it. I don't use Google Now. I do use Google as search engine but in the browser, either Firefox or Opera.
- xaqfox 10y agoIs it possible to use your phone's GPS without sending all data to Google (i.e. enable GPS without also enabling Google Location Services)?
- pmontra 10y agoI think it depends on the app. I wrote an app that read from the GPS sensor and sent the position to a server of mine. Google didn't get any data. However if you want to use other sources to get a more precise position (example: wifi access points) I think that Google must know.
