Ultima Dragon 12/14/19 7:54:57 AM #6:	I think it doesn't matter what you turn off or don't give permission to, they still do it anyway lol. A while back I saw people noticing that their battery still drained or that their phone was still sending/receiving data while turned off completely. I guess it's just another sort of "sleep mode," removing the battery would be the only way to truly power it off but you can't do that anymore with newer phones. shrugs --- "We know things can move faster than the speed of light because liberal tears are on the ground before something offensive even happens" - Coffeebeanz <cite>Ultima Dragon posted [p:931568578] in Do you lea...

Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/14/19 10:28:47 AM #12:	I turn it on when I need it for directions/Uber and then turn it off when I'm done with it. It has nothing to do with this privacy paranoia we keep hearing about (who cares if Google knows my location data??) but rather leaving location on will drain the battery unnecessarily. If I leave the house, I turn off all the lights - same thing here. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius <cite>Super Saiyan 3 Goku posted [p:931572056] in Do you lea...

I Like Toast 12/16/19 9:14:52 PM #19:	Yes. I don't care and it always feels like it takes forever the GPS to find you when you do need directions and have it turned off. Plus, Google pays me back for it by sending surveys that generally ask if I was at x and if so how did I make my purchase. https://i.imgur.com/3LWy76W.jpg --- If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all <cite>I Like Toast posted [p:931685926] in Do you lea...
