    I turned all my sensors off by going into developer mode and have a phone case that covers my cameras.

    Auto brightness, rotate, talk-to-text, and facial recognition don't work any longer, but that's not important to me.

    So I have my "main" profile, which has nothing that requires Google Services, then I have my secondary sandboxed account where I've installed the necessary Google Apps.

    That minimizes the amount of spying they can do, because one profile can't see into another because they've limited the powers of Google Services on the device to a per-profile basis.

    I can write that less nerdy, but that's the quickest way to write it. Lol

    Without doing some research I don't even know how this all works. I use my cell phone as a ...... wait for it ........ telephone.
    No web surfing, no banking, no picture taking, no videos, no gps. The only password I know of on my phone is the pin used to open the thing. Get into my phone and you will find phone numbers. That's it.
