"Have you ever tried using an Android phone? It's something like this:
- you turn off automatic OS updates,
- and automatic refresh of Google Play store repository,
- and automatic updates of Google Maps,
- and automatic everything in any way related to internet connectivity,

Mee-lee..........
hit the nail on the head there.
I OVERWHELMINGLY completely agree with you.
I loathe android for this reason alone...
forget all other valid reasons..
this one pisses me off to no end...

yup custom roms are great.
sadly there are very few apps in the "bull**** free zone" of the app world.

A long time ago, I read an interesting Sci-Fi book. It was a collection of short stories, but I do not remember the name or the author, sorry.
One idea from one of those stories was that hardware and software complement each other. A good example is e.g. a floating point arithmetics. Older CPUs did not have the hardware to do FP arithmetics and it had to be emulated in software. So you can have either a single FPU instruction and a rather complex hardware to execute it or a simple hardware and a few hundred CPU instructions to achieve the same result, if in a longer time.
Abstracting this idea and taking it to an extreme, you will end up with two limits: 1) and infinitely complex hardware running no software at all, performing the task in zero time and 2) an infinitely complex software running on its own without any hardware, performing the task in an infinitely long time.

do you have any kind of reference that describes
what is going on there ?
I can imagine all sorts of things get logged for such pings,
but surely someone breaks it all down and shows
what Android is doing during such activity ?
