I managed to turn all of Google off on the latest Android system……but then found out that unless GPS was turned on, the phone would not work and it didn’t !!!!!!
Just by turning all that crap off, I get 4 to 5 days charge on standby and that is with a Sony Z3. Searches Duckduckgo and Browser CM Browser, it clears all browsing records when u close it.
I think the only way to cut out Google, is to wipe the phone and install a Linux system….but that might brick/wreck the phone, as they are apparently not stable…or weren’t last time I checked.
