Re: Google Apps prevents Verizon Connect login?

[Alan Cassidy <cfuture@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I avoid Google --like the plague-- to the maximum extent possible.  
Android is loaded on the phones I've had. For twenty years, the ones I 
have are Christmas gifts. Even the "mainstream" media has had reports on 
how even when you cut off tracking of location on an Android phone, it 
stores your phone's locations anyway and as soon as you enable location 
again, it sends the info off. ET calls home, only this is not a nice ET.
