Hmm, confirmed on Verizon 4G LTE network.

Can anybody recommend a good VPN service that works on android?

If you use Chrome and enable Google's Data Compression Proxy, all http traffic is proxied via Google's servers and sent to them via spdy (which is encrypted), so Verizon can't tamper with the requests or see what they are:

https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/data-compression

So you trade Verizon's tracking for Google's?
At the very least, it would only be Google that could track you, instead of every website you visit being able to read your Verizon-assigned ID.
What about DNS queries?
They're not http so would guess they don't go through the proxy.
Private internet access. Works great.
Private Internet Access is a favorite by many. You should check them out if you have a chance. They're supposedly very strong on android
PrivateInternetAccess.com is great, they also have a nice android app that will connect on your phones bootup
I quite enjoy proxy.sh
