I am considering buying a GS2, but I must say I am concerned about the AP mobile app. I don't really want to root the phone right away, but just wondering what is AP mobile doing? I really don't want it sending a lot of information about me to be sold.
I have an unlimited plan so I am not worried about going over the limit, more worried about what the app is actually doing. Does anyone have an idea of what is actually going on with all of the data use?
please look at its permissions.
it IS data mining, spying, looking at your other apps you have, your location via gps/fine, or network location, your web surfing, your web bookmarks if you have any, your phone number, your imei and imsi (phone and sim card serial numbers), etc.
ap mobile has only 4 permissions, google maps has 14, and the gallery has 11. ap mobile actually has only a few permissions. check out google and at&t apps, facebook, etc., and you will be shocked and amazed.
please look at the permissions on each app. supposedly free game apps are even worse - nothing is free in life, and the permissions list what they get from you, and yes, what the sell from your demographic profile they build. nothing in life is free when a developer offers a "free app".
ap mobile PAID at&t, as other app developers also pay other carriers to be forced installed, to data mine and spy, period.
yahoo finance does the same thing. it always starts up even when i delete its data and force close it. i don't own any stocks i have never loaded or activated yahoo finance, but it comes alive, spying 24/7/365.
