“my droid allows me to turn location data off”
That’s a placebo. A few years ago someone (maybe John Stossel) did a test. He turned off location, and even powered off the phone, and then went on with his day.
Then he had a techy person get a printout of his day. It was perfect, and even so precise that it showed when it appeared he stepped out of a car.
The explanation was that even though the main battery is disabled, there’s another battery always on. It’s the one that maintains time and date, and apparently other things like some location data.
