  • I will explain what differentiates a standard or what I call a Normie phone from these specialized phones called De-Googled phones. By their name, you can see that Google is removed. But that is not about removing a few apps. Neither can you de-Google an iPhone. So learn the differences and then understand why De-Googled phones are a necessity if you want to option to not be watched.

      I'm also in Canada, and I've also been getting messages about the potential loss of 3G service. I talked to a tech oriented customer service person, and I learned that this only applies to Canadians who are roaming in the US. It won't be effecting Canadian service anytime soon. I couldn't get an exact date for the Canadian sunset, but I was told that we'd be getting advanced notice long before the service would be turned off.

    Android is actually a gift. I've been using & baking my own custom roms for years. Making sure they are stripped to the bone of all the crap that I don't want in them. I've happily sacrificed all of the normie gimmicks to enforce my God given right not to be tracked. People really need to wake up to what they are actually surrendering by running head first into this technological nightmare.
    As for that new A.I chip? Well that would now appear to me to no longer be a back door in the system & more like a front door. Ten times as wide & open 24/7!

      Hey man that sounds great but where do I go to start learning how to do that? Even just researching how to jailbreak my phones was a big research job on xdaforums and I'm not game to pull the trigger otherwise it could brick my phones and I've lost $1000. And I don't know how any of the Qualcomm chipset drivers work, whether it would produce issues with our local phone providers, for instance they just made VoLTE mandatory where I live and even off the shelf phones sold as late as 2022 aren't even compatible anymore - would I be guaranteed VoLTE support with a custom ROM? If I just go putting lineage or whatever on my phone I have no idea what the result will be. I know that Nokia and Motorola baked a lot of their own OEM stuff into it for that particular chipset combination and geographical marketplace, I'm not sure I can reproduce the same result. I've done fresh install from scratch on some Dell laptops and that was a bit of work finding all their individual drivers online.

    I'm afraid the example might not hold water, any phone is tracked, its the basis of any phone that they are connected to a tower, weather you are using data or voice or not, you het assigned to a tower with your phone and imei number and as you move you get hand-overs to closer by towers. since multiple towers are used you can always be triangulated provided the phone is powered on (most of them cannot be truely switched off) the only way out is when we own the infrastructure.

    Regarding looking at the amount of data they send, the thing is that the quantity of data doesn't even need to be much for it to be of extremely high value/quality/usefulness.
    Like a GPS coordinate every hour combined with sending all logins and passwords would be using less than 1 kb per day, and even sending all the text one ever types probably amounts to less than 10 kb per day. This is effectively undetectable if one only looks at high data transmissions.

    Hi! I just ordered a Sony Xperia 1 VI, I think it has google os on it! I'm currently using an iPhone. Most of the sales in Estonia are Samsung phones, and iPhones, rarely Google Pixel and some Motorolas, Xiaomi is also a common product, I didn't want them, I liked Xperia the most. I don't know if I made a better choice, but I just don't want any more accounts, samsung requires its own account, iphone's, Xperia's is a google account that I've had for a long time. I don't know how useful it is to turn off everything possible from the phone, such as Location Services, background apps off, as few apps as possible, everything possible is off, the internet is off on the phone even at night and also during the day when I'm not using it, everything whenever possible, the internet is off, I mostly use wifi. I don't tolerate AI at all, and that's why I changed the galaxy s24 ultra to the new xperia because it has the least AI inside. Thank you!

Degoogled phones are a great improvment over normie phones but I fear that if you don't touch on the limitations people might be overconfident in their degoogled phone and think they have certain protections that they don't actually have.
