Is Your Android Device Telling the World Where You've Been? (devices, wi-fi)

[elnina]

Just FYI: your new Android phone may be broadcasting your location history to anyone within Wi-Fi range that wants to listen, even when your phone's screen is off and it's not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Most people probably don't really care about, but if you do, a workaround is available (for most devices) for users who want to protect their privacy.

Anyone who has an interested in not being located should not be walking around with a device activated that has a GPS, cell phone radio AND wifi radio integrated.
