Android Privacy?

This is an interesting article on how phones are being used to collect loads of personal information. There are a number of privacy tools out there for Android (Droid wall, pdroid).
What applications, procedures or methods do you employ for keeping your privacy?
Anyone know of an AT&T S3 ROM that has Pdroid enabled?
Going under the locations services section of settings and limiting what services can use your location data is one way to maintain some level of security if your paranoid about privacy ;-)

I turn off that option as well. I use Droid Wall to try and limit some of the apps from communicating, however it doesn't appear to prevent all data communications as the apps can tie into other services (I think), and transmit data from the web (port 80).
How paranoid about security do you want to get?

Correct also if you disable data communications for certain apps it will break them resulting in Force closes. It sucks you can't just disable it from sending information while still allowing the app to use data permissions for legitimate tasks. I suppose if you were super paranoid about your privacy and willing to spend some (Or a lot depending on how in depth you want to get) you could decompile the APK file of apps that transmit personal data and search for services that transmit that data and disable it in the XML files or make smali edits. Overall seems like it would be a lot of work for really not much gain, but I suppose it all depends on how far you want to take your personal security.

[App] SwitchMe - Share Your Device - MULTIPLE USER SPACES

Hi guys Im one of the developers of SwitchMe - an app that creates multiple user spaces. We have just released a new build which should fully support the Note. Please have a look and let me know if everything is working as it should!
Thanks in advance, PR after the break:
.................................................................................................
SwitchMe - share your device!
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple installations of Android just as you would on a desktop computer.
SwitchMe is a unique application for root users that allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces just as you would on a desktop computer, with each profile having its own separate system settings, apps and data.
Some of the benefits of this technology:
Privacy
Securely share one device among many users, protect your accounts with passwords and log out automatically.
Kids
Create a profile for the kids, with only the apps and access you feel comfortable with.
Gaming
Overclock your profile for maximum performance in intensive games
Speed
Imagine a buttery smooth profile, with no kids games, messengers or bloatware to slow things down.
Testing
Create a sandbox profile to easily test applications and themes - no more nandroid nightmares!
Battery
Switch to a profile which only contains the essentials to save power through brute force.
Critical usage warning:
Incorrect use of this application can potentially harm your device. Before proceeding with use we strongly recommend that you perform a full nandroid backup through the device recovery.
READ THE HELP FILE CAREFULLY TO AVOID ISSUES
Without the Key, this application allows a maximum of 2 profiles and no security features.
Only the standard Android implementation of Apps2SD is currently supported. Use all others at your own risk.
Most devices should be compatible as long as they have enough free internal memory to create secondary profiles. The application will warn users if available memory is low.
These of course are only suggestions - there are plenty of other uses for the functionality SwitchMe offers.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme
The free version allows the creation of two profiles and has no security features.

Works fine just hate da reboot time

Also I lose signal after a switch to 2nd profile sometimes

With fast switch enabled, switching will take 5 seconds unless you've installed a load of new apps. Fast switch will only work the second time you switch between any two profiles.
I love the idea, however I personally would use this on my TouchPad or any android tablet. To me, that's more a community piece, versus my phone. I barely let anyone touch/hold my phone, let alone play games/etc.

There are still many uses - its not just for sharing!
JB?
Has this been tested on JellyBean?
Yes it works fine.

[Q] Application to monitor data usage (2 plans in the same SIM)

Hello.
Im looking for an application to monitor data usage, i know there are a lot but im looking for one specifically,
My plan is in fact 2 plans, it is unlimited for social networks (1GB @ 4G then EDGE till month expires), and 100Mb for any other applications.
So i would like to ask you if you know any application that can help me with BOTH data plans, one that allows also per application plans, so for example, facebook adding to the 1GB plan but not the 100Mb one.
Thanks for the help.

i have not heard of any app that differs in the data being monitored. Not that it is not possible to do it though. perhaps Onavo have the app specific function. give it a try:

Device uses „mobile data” without my permission!!!

I’ve seen on the billing from my cellphone provider, that the Note 4 makes approximately 3-5 times in a month a mobile data connection without my permission.
How is it possible to figure out the reason of this bad behaviour? (I use MIUI Global 8.2 Stable 8.2.10.0, and I want to use this Android 6 based MIUI Version furthermore). Maybe this is a huge bug in MIUI, or is it possible that this is caused by an App? But which one?
Anyway I’ve disabled the setting “Allow background data” for apps to prevent the use of mobile data when I’m not using them. But this setting is not enough to prevent the mobile data connection buildup of the Note 4X.

Have you ever heard the phrase "ET phone home"? See for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapp..._apps_desperately_try_to_phone_home_how_do_i/
That is why I will never use a MIUI ROM that has not had all the "phone home" functionality removed. There are XDA threads for the Redmi Note 2 that are devoted to (among other things) doing this - see e.g., https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/development/b-skinny-pro-t3347906
It is getting increasingly difficult to remove all the phone home functionality, hence why I will never use MIUI.
Firewall app Netguard (no root) will let you check and, at least to a certain extent, control things like this.
Some "calling home" behavior is obviously necessary for proper functioning of android (Google account) and MIUI (Mi account).

I think, if a mobile data connection is not enabled by the user, it should stay in this mode until the user enables it.
The Device and the manufacturer are not allowed to do self decisions. Who pays me the permanent mobile data traffic? Xiaomi? Sure not.
I fear that a firewall doesn't help. The firewall is able to prevent network data traffic e.g. for an app. But for my understanding a firewall can't prevent a system app independently to open and close a new mobile data line - unless I'm mistaken.

Yes, I think I have actually noticed some "unexplainable" traffic on a few occasions, bypassing the firewall, with mobil data enabled, but the firewall supposedly shutting off all traffic.
But as it does not have any particular importance for me personally, I haven't spent any time looking into it.
But if you do not even have mobile data enabled, then nothing should get through at all - I assume?
This is really strange that data is enabled by a system app, and the first I've ever heard of it happening. Are you SURE it is MIUI using your data and not a rogue app or malware (are you rooted and/or do you use pirated apps or APK's from random places)?
MIUI built in security app is perfectly capable of measuring the data usage per app, and also total data usage. You can use the built-in firewall to block any app - user or system - from accessing data.
The restriction here is that you cannot block a system app from WiFi, not without a third party mod to the Security APK (a guy on en.miui.com forums has instructions for this, bit you need to be good with smali). I will eventually release a generic patch for this once my patching tool is ready for a public alpha.
But I digress.
MIUI security app should tell you. If MIUI is using data without permissions and you can demonstrate that it is definitely an MIUI process and not something *you* put on, I would think it is definitely a bug. They will NOT want their stuff costing you data without permission!

It's called anonymous telemetry, dude. Yes there is a lot of it in MIUI, but this is just the way of the world these days. If you don't like it, go and use a non-branded device with AOSP and no Google services at all. Not everyone is this paranoid, most of us are fine with revealing *anonymous* data to help improve product experience.
I guarantee you that XDA are collecting data about your PC and browser and your location for statistical and security reasons.

So am I - when it is entirely my choice and decision and I have control over whether or not it happens.
It is good to know that some people are so trusting, and are certain that all those communications with servers in China are all about anonymous data.

Yes - if they can drill through VPNs.
If you were that paranoid you'd know that a VPN doesn't make you untraceable. Even using Tor browser with all its hardening doesn't guarantee privacy...
It's not that some "some people are so trusting", but rather that some people have faith in companies not being stupid enough to break international laws - especially on an OS like Android where it's very easy for security experts to find this stuff.
There was once a scare about Xiaomi data collection years ago, but it has since been debunked as anonymous. Yes it might annoying that the collection is opt-out, but it's certainly not forced.
Your case is isolated - I have no such data use without my permission and I've never seen anybody else report it in all my years of being an MIUI power user.
Unless you're using the China ROM of course, which would be silly....
Back to the matter at hand, have you checked in Security > Data Usage the stats? And have you blocked everything in the system tab of the firewall from using data?
One last question. Do you have an MMS APN setup? Because it could just be a heartbeat to your provider.
