    You cant really degoogle an Android.

    Did they even bother to replace captive portal this time?

    What about SUPL AGPS? I guarantee their degoogled phone is still constantly pinging Google at the lower layers.

      So, someone tested it before and found that issue. I’m sure people will be testing it again. It’s pretty easy to do.

      Can you expand on why? I’m not very well versed on Android OS or their firmware.

        Because your phone has an entire OS- the baseband layer that runs under android and is completely out of the users or Androids control.

        When you put your phone in airplane mode for example this doesn’t stop your phone from connecting to cell towers. All you are doing is removing your ability to control the connection.
