I have the same phone for 5 years. My father passed away 5 years ago and I still have his Voice Mails, saved. Perhaps I need to state a thread on "how to" record those voice mails so I can have them permanently. .

I dont really care, to be honest.
I mean, my life consists of going to work, school, home, maybe the beach, maybe some restaurants. Try and take a domestic out-of-state vacation every year, etc. So what if my government is keeping track.... If I truly wanted to be untraceable I'd just leave my cell home and go out and about and do my thing

I had my phone with me when I took a dump this morning. Who do I contact to ask if they can give me their analysis of my movement? It is a good indication of a persons health.

Anyone monitoring me at NSA can send me a DM.

Thanks.

who is this thread for. are there any intelligent westerners that have been using smart-fones for 10 years actually confused that certain individuals need to be able to access location in order for one to post geo-tagged photos of their food via ultra-wide band 4g internet connection ?

fyi: i lose my fone occasionally and so i have to log into androidlost.com in order to get a map of where my fone was before it ran out of battery.

Yeah. I am sure they are very interested in my phone conversations, emails, browsing history. Boy, they sure could make a great case out of all of it. I can see the headlines now "Florida Man Indicted On Conspiracy Charges - Making Lunch Plans With Other Conspirators"

So, a couple of weeks ago I am on vacation with a friend who has two dogs. I'm an early riser, she is not. When I said I was going to take a walk on the beach in the morning, she said, "Can you take Louie with you?" I said sure, would be nice to walk a dog. I only have cats.

I left the house, deciding to leave the phone home, because why would I need it? Well, I would have needed it because Louie took exception to walking with me, and as I led him up over the dunes, he suddenly slipped his head out of his collar and ran like a bat out of hell for the road. There I am, trying to chase a dog that I cannot possibly catch, in a place he doesn't know how to get back to, and I can't even call my friend to come out and try to lure her dog back. He got about a quarter mile down the road, and my yells brought out a few people who helped sort of herd him into a yard where there was another dog, and when he went to sniff that dog, the owner grabbed him for me. Thought I was going to have a heart attack. I CARRIED him back to the house. I will never ever again take another person's dog for a walk, but if I did, I would take my phone.
The NSA made note of that incident according to some posters here.
