We should likely have a followup tutorial thread for these two topics:

1. How to turn off location tracking on YOUR phone, and, 
2. How to turn off other people from reporting your router BSSID.
and maybe even the (unrelated to Android, directly)
3. How to set your router so that Google will ignore it even if idiots do
have #2 set above to the Android defaults.

As I recall, I'm the one who first reported that to this ng, 
but even so, I _think_ they stopped doing that a while ago
(when it was reported to the news).

Didn't they?
PS: I stay away from "India" papers - they're all rehashes.

Understood. I get dizzy using a phone in a vehicle, so it's not for me.
YMMV.

Since physical banking is not ONLINE banking that is not a legitimate
answer to my question.

Physical banks have problems too. People can lose money from their
physical bank account through many types of fraud. Ask nospam...

Do you actually know how secure a bank app is? Encryption? Etc.

Sorry about your disability but just so you wouldn't mislead our foreign
friends I was pointing out that phone browsing on four wheels here in
the USA is actually quite likely...

What you seem to be asking is how to handle unexploded ordinance with your 
bare hands.

When I tell you that you shouldn't be handling unexploded ordinance with 
your bare hands, then you tell me that's not a legitimate answer to your 
question.

OK. Fair enough.

I'm just not going to be able to tell you how to do that safely.
You handle the unexploded ordinance with your bare hands if you want.

While handling unexploded ordinance with your bare hands is fraught with 
issues, there are ways to NOT handle unexploded ordinance with your bare 
hands.

If you _insist_ on handling unexploded ordinance with your bare hands, 
then, well, what do you want me to tell you?

I can't tell you that a phone is secure.
It's just not.

There are just too many holes.

HINT: The Maginot line was considered secure too.
So was the German Enigma (even with the additional wheel that the Poles 
never got a hold of). So was Japan's JN24. And the list goes on and on and 
on and on.

Anyone who thinks encryption is secure on a common consumer device in the 
hands of a common consumer ... is deluding themselves.

Again, you're welcome to handle unexploded ordinance with your bare hands.
I simply don't recommend it.

Holes in the banking app? Such as?

It appears that neither the common consumer nor Arlen Holder has a clue
how effective (or ineffective) an Android banking app is at security.

Let me be even more blunt since you think I was evasive.

*A phone is NEVER going to be secure.*

So it is *impossible* to do "secure anything* on a typical phone.

Period.

Is that blunt enough for you yet?

Unsafe how exactly? Prove it by showing reliable links to actual attacks
reports. Short, please.

Note: that google collects data is not valid as proof of not being secure.

It's a phone for Christs' sake.
That means it can be uploaded via cellular signals, right?

If we assume Android, that's the same as saying it's a computer ... right?
So, we have a computer on the net most likely, right?

Now let's get to the user, who, for now, let's assume is "average".
That average user is clueless what an app is "really" doing, right?

The list goes on and on and on, where a phone is simply a computer on the
Internet, and even worse, it's _designed_ to be updated over the air.

> Note: that google collects data is not valid as proof of not being secure.

You'll _never_ (hopefully) see me equate Google data collection with
security as they're two different issues (to me).

You know me well - so you should know that I never complain about Google
data collection - I just ask for ways to prevent it (which I think I've
accomplished).

For example, you don't ever need Google Play.
You don't ever need a Google login.

You don't need location sniffing until/unless you want to figure out where
you are, which, I posit, is actually pretty rare since you can figure out
where you are from a cross street or topographic indicators, just like we
did in the olden days with paper maps.

You certainly don't need to be reporting to Google the SSID/BSSID/signal
stgrength, GPS location, etc., of your neighbor's WiFi setup (which is the
default, but which I turn off instantly when I reimage a new phone).

Since I know you, Carlos, to be intelligent, instead of you asking stupid
questions, we should work together to edify others who to turn OFF all the
Google data collection.

I've done it over the years, but I don't have all the tricks assembled into
a single location.

Do you?

One definition of EVASIVE is avoiding an answer to a question by
subterfuge. So far you qualify...

Hint: SAFER does not mean 100% secure.

Like helping us write a tutorial that explains to users how to set up an
Android phone so that it doesn't report information that the user doesn't
want imported?

HINT: That would require more intelligence than your silly games do.

It was a simple question. And it seems after 3 posts of evasion you
still don't have an answer.

 What are the common settings to change on an Android 7.0 Nougat phone for privacy?

HINT: It would likely be "too hard" for you to actually add value.

The thread is "Anti-virus", not privacy. My question you refused to

Actively discouraged by many banks.

How? By charging on office, and not charging online, for instance. By
having few staff, so that lineups form and forcing waits up to an hour
or more.

or not having a physical branch at all. there are several banks and
brokerage firms for which online access is the only option. or, being
too far away from a branch to be practical.

But for completely different reasons.

Those reasons are completely unrelated to the security of phones.
