Location Services.

If you "opt out" it cripples locations for third party apps. If you opt in Google tracks your location.

Google Accounts.

If you don't put a Google Account on your Android phone it cripples, well, everything. But if you do put a Google Account on it then Google tracks the IP address when it connects to the internet as well as sync times/login times/etc.

Yes, this. Location services. Good luck keeping that off if you use any maps for navigation. Google accounts... Good luck using Android apps securely without the Play store.

I tried rather hard but was ultimately unsuccessful in using Android in any convenient way and not allow Google to track everything I do. If you have any suggestions I am still all ears!
