OnePlus tracks every app launched on their devices and send data back to China

Literally botnet

>owning a portable surveillance device

It's like you want to be on a database.

Smartphones were invented for surveillance purposes. Sexy design and silly games are the trojan horse, but all of this is sold only to be the eyes and ears of governments and secret services.

The brand of your device doesn't matter user.

OnePlus damage control, kek.

Never Settle

Not seeing any of that here.

Who cares? They already have root access to your phone.

>Headquartered in China
>Sends data to China
Wow.

>unironically buying chink shit

OH NO THE CHINESE ARE GOING TO KNOW THAT YOU JACK OFF TO FURRY PORN THREE TIMES A DAY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DO?????????????????

Which regional agencies would you rather give your data?
American, European, Chinese or Russian?

well hopefully they'll start sending me coupons for discounted furry porn paraphernalia

So it has both jewgle botnet and communist party botnet in the stock firmware.

god damn it
Guess I'll be getting the pixel 3 next year. At least it all goes to the same botnet that way.

The Apple iPhone X doesn't have this problem.

yes and google does this and more and sends it to the US & UK, guess which I'd prefer

Well, they're a PRISM company, so they send your shit to the US government like everyone else

Is OP5 better than GS5?

Was just deciding against whether to get an OP5 or S8, looks like i'm going for the S8 now

Thanks, Oneplus!

touchwiz tracks your usage and sends data back to korea btw

Can't you just install a custom os and avoid this?

impossible to escape on any android phone unless flashing a rom without GAPPs, but I'll take that over the invasive data transmission in OOS

C.H.I.N.K.E.D

>Literally botnet
Oh? So... They can take full control of your device and cluster it with other devices to complete tasks such as DDoS? No? Then it's not literally a fuckin' botnet

i build my own phones

I'm going to take full control of your anus with my penis and cluster it with my sperm for tasks like making you cum, fag.

It's really shitty what they did but you only send data if you leave the user experience shit enabled on Settings > Advanced
If you are paranoid you can check how to remove the offending apk using adb. I honestly don't remember to disabling it but I mostly check and disable/enable stuff as soon as I boot up my phones the first time and mine never sent anything.
Some people never touched that and today they were fucking annoyed the OnePlus System Service sent several mb of data to the chinks with their IMEI and other crap attached.

I'm very angry about my botnet. However, I saw it coming.

Oneplus was so good, too...

A-are you saying that’s not normal???

The only good device from them was the One. I have the 3, and it's alright, but the price/feature ratio of the One was some completely different level, and community engagement was way higher.
