You can still be tracked after removing your sim card, know how San Francisco, Nov 22 Android smartphones have reportedly been gathering users' location data and sending it to Google even when the location services were turned off and there was no SIM card in the device. "Even if you take all of those precautions, phones running Android software gather data about your location and send it back to Google when they're connected to the internet," Quartz reported late on Tuesday.

Nevertheless, people enjoyed those phones as they never had to worry about the pesky stuff such as software updates and compatibility as well as the concerns of carrying an additional power bank to keep the device juiced up. The newer generation of phones simply doesn't give those thrills. E...
