I’ve had google play disabled for the better part of 3 years, and I don’t have those issues.

“While driving with Maps, Google attempts to track you each time you enter a destination or cancel one as well as at regular intervals during your drive.”

Isn’t that how driving with maps works?

How wan it place you accurately on a map if it doesn’t know where you are?

I have a newer phone. The Google Play “disable” button is dimmed out and not functional. Can’t turn it off.

does onstar really track your vehicle? Or can it just find your vehicle at a certain moment?

For me tracking is a minor complaint,power it down, they do not call if you win the lotto, and you need to purchase a ticket.

All the crapware, just counted 54 icons, I use at most a dozen, ever.
Force stop and they return after a reset/power-down.

I want it simple!
A humongous snapping turtle, steps in front of my bicycle.
I want a picture. Bright sunlight, hard to see the screen, where is the camera icon???
This happened, by the time I find it, Mr turtle is gone.

About once a month, I promise to root it, but do not want to brick it.

I hate useless crapware hogging my screen.

I quadrupled my phone’s battery life by disabling Google Play Service permissions.

Google knows where I live and where I work and I never ever told them.
