So after nearly having a heart attack from seeing an ad for Starbucks pop up (when I drove past one!) via my Google Maps even though:
- ALL apps were OFF
- Location was OFF
- Wi-Fi was OFF
- NO background updates allowed
- NO background processes allowed (as far as I know, but clearly, I'm wrong!)
- I was on Maximum Battery Saver mode (applies to LG only, I think)
I discovered that I actually DON'T have as much control over my device as I thought I did and so now, I want to make sure that I do - especially over renegade data usage.
And now, I really need some help on how to manage renegade processes and apps. Especially because I'm really trying to minimize stealth/renegade data usage when I don't need it.
This was never a problem on my Windows Phone - if I said no, it respected the 'no', but apparently this isn't the case with Android and it bugs the heck out of me.
I say NO to background processes and data usage and Google processes especially refuse to listen even if they offer the options.
I'm using an LGV30+ and running Android 7.1.2.
