So i wanted to know what an Android phone actually transmits when you aren't touching it most articles say "Google collects a lot of data" but nobody knows to what extent and publishes some proof lets say some packet captures Stock Android 16 averaged 348.4 requests/hour to Alphabet ASN 15169 endpoints turning off location and usage diagnostics in settings still left 194.2 requests/hour active mostly checkin.gstatic.com Wi-Fi BSSID surveys. Running GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Play Services dropped traffic to 12.1 requests/hour, while pure GrapheneOS registered zero. Data is uploaded here : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22848749 | ||

I'd be curious how LineageOS stacks up against GrapheneOS. Also, anyone know if there are downsides to blocking checkin.static.com? | ||
