I'm sure there is diagnostic information that you *can't* disable, but
there is certainly diagnostic information being sent to the carrier that
you *can* disable.

So the question is simply who disables carrier software, and, if they do
disable the carrier software, then how do they do it (so that all others
may benefit from the information).

1. I showed how to disable the T-mobile "System Manager Application" data
collection on Android, which anyone on T-Mobile can replicate.
2. Savageduck, on iOS, couldn't find where Verizon was collecting data, but
he kindly showed how he disables the *Apple* collection of data.
3. tlvp, on Android, said he couldn't find how to turn off the Verizon
collection of data on Android either - so it might be that you can't turn
off Verizon collection of data on either platform.

4. You (nospam) mentioned the obvious (which didn't add any value)
5. Rod Speed simply ranted as usual (showing even *less* value)
6. Davoud is another kook who posted utter nonsense (as usual for him)

In summary, based only on what has been reported here with respect to
*carrier* collection of data, the group tribal knowledge is the following:
a. On Android, you *can* turn off *T-Mobile* "System Manager Application"
data collection.
b. On iOS and Android, you *can't* turn off *Verizon* diagnostic data
collection

No word yet on T-Mobile on iOS or AT&T on either platform.
