Sure do, but to shut off most of those features shuts down the apps most people love to use. I dont think you can win these days

Yep, I know & agree with Scott. Very frustrating that I take off apps & Sprint updates put them right back on. I'm afraid to root my phone because if it's done wrong you end up with what they call a 'brick' - a useless phone.

Oh yes. But I tolerate it. I leave the tracking on for safety, or else I would shut it off. Every bit of data on phone and computer is being tracked. No privacy in the world anymore unless you are totally off the grid.

Yes but most of us make that trade-off. The weather app needs to know where I am, the map app needs to know where I am, Siri needs to know where I am so she can find the closest Starbucks. Most of us don't know anywhere that's secret or exciting on our daily rounds -- and if I do, I'll leave my cell phone at home!

Yep. Which is hysterical, given that my speech-to-text thinks I say all kinds of stuff I don't. So whoever's listening to me thinks I'm 2 Corinthians shy of a Bible. Here come the Bible ads.
