My only audio recording device is my webcam and it is incapable of being in use without the light being on as far as I am aware. So how would it send them audio

You assume that the light isn't controlled by the same software, that's not always the case, the FBI has admitted this. https://grahamcluley.com/2013/12/webcam-spying-without-turning-led-researchers-prove-possible/ https://grahamcluley.com/2013/12/webcam-spying-without-turni... I take the view that anything under software control or the control of a chip I can't open is suspect, I've taped the webcam on laptops and physically disconnected built in microphones (I use a headset, built in ones suck). I'm not really happy about my Nexus 4 at all either, I think my next phone will be a dumb mobile. The sad thing is that I try to avoid paranoia with this stuff but the threat landscape is so large it's practically a full time job staying up to date with whats going on.
