If you're shutting off the phone. What's the point?
- mirimir 12y agoTurning phones "off" may not in fact turn everything off. Even removing batteries may not accomplish that, because there may be backup batteries. At least the baseband radio may remain active. It may be possible to geolocate, and to access the microphone and camera. I say "may" so much because it varies among devices.

- seniorghost 12y agoI believe certain signals are transmitted from your phone even if it's "off". Removing the battery might stop some of them, but even this supposedly doesn't stop everything.
- hueving 12y agoDo you have a source for this? It seems completely wasteful and against the interests of the manufacture not to sell a piece of shit.
