As others suggested ensure that all communication uses TLS (be it https et al or tunnel traffic through a VPN). Also you could install a better version of Android on your phone rather than an outdated vendor version. That will probably fix more security related issues than just this one :)

How would you make sure that apps use TLS for comunication? In the browser it's easy to see, but in apps those details are hidden away from the user.

  Use a VPN, a commercial one that actually works, like F-secure Freedome.

  Sniff the apps, uninstall if they don't, it's just plain unacceptable at this point. If there's something you really need that doesn't, set up a VPN.

Vendor version contains blobs (binary objects) for drivers which are most often than not a problem to deal with for OSS and cause various bugs. It's usually workable depending on vendor and hardware but not exactly a perfect solution either.
