Google services framework Spyware? - Security Discussion

Everyone knows Google knows where you're at if you have location enabled but can someone tell me what the heck this is? I noticed it when turning things off using my rOM Toolbox "auto start manager" but when you uncheck this one resets itself later... you basically cannot turn it off....
is it trying to monitor whether you have any gay or lesbian activity on your phone and where your location is at? Really?

OMG
Never noticed this but after you said it !!!!!!!
Looks like google really is spying on our activities.....
really google wtf are you upto......

Yeah it sounds like people don't know what to think about this one, I was hoping someone could tell me something legitimate about it, of course when you do a Google search it brings up nothing.... What a coincidence!
I haven't tried searching with bing yet but that's what I thought

[APP] WAZE - free navigation

For all who are looking for a free navigation system WAZE is the way to go.
It's a community project and help is still needed to make it a perfect app.
Means driving new roads and naming streets.
A very nice feature is the that you can submit LIVE trafic information (hazard, speed cam) and if you drive slow it will show that for others too so they can avoid this street.
Here you can get it

looks nice, except why dont they use openstreetmaps?
I can't believe that it has been two years since anyone commented about Waze! If there is a more active post, please let me know where it is.

Is this something really necessary? What activity turns this on?
This one I just dont understand. I recently turned off notifications about updates from the play store and now I see this process in the running services. On every reboot it's there and needs to be killed. Why is it running?
Thanks in advance.
The 2nd starts up for me on boot too. No idea why, but I just stop it. The Maps thing no idea. You should get Autostarts from the market. Maps never opens up anymore.

[APP][2.1+][FREE] Flashback - Why is this person calling me?

My free Flashback app helps you figure out why somebody is calling you:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I find it really useful, and I hope you do too!
You can search Google Play for "uk.co.danieljarvis.android.flashback", or there is a link on flashbackapp.co.uk
just open settings page

Installed ML on my t2i 550D, working whell.
Installed ML Controller on my Motorola Defy CM9 rooted.

This is one of the best application in android Please make some changes in the application to show the time of when the caller last called/texts...Currently, its showing only how many minutes/hours/days ago..
The last call is not always shows the correct icon..instead it shows msg icon..Also if possible, display the msg content...

Help with dictionary/auto correct of the word: don't

Not sure if I'm the only one with this issue, but whenever I want to write the word "don't" the auto correct always corrects to "DONT" by default.
It's done this on all my devices so far, no matter what. It's as if it's linked to maybe my google account or something as I cannot find it in any of the custom dictionary areas in the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas? It's quite frustrating and not sure where else to ask for help on this.
Screenshot:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Since I can't delete my post, I happened to figure it out after I thought that it might be coming from another installed keyboard, so I went through them one by one until I found that I was able to remove the DONT from within Swiftkey and now on all the other keyboards it doesn't automatically show up anymore.
Problem solved!
Fail problem not solved.. The DONT came back under every keyboard but swiftkey.
Anyone have ideas?

bump for some help!

Anyone know what this is?

A new icon has started popping up in the status bar on my SGS 6 (UK) since the recent update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only appears when I open Chrome, Flipboard or Facebook and is persistant for some time after the apps are closed (even if I kill the processes).
Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Yeap, WiFi calling.
I should have clarified that it happens when I am not on wifi as well. I also can't figure why it would be active in an app like Flipboard that is not in anyway a communication app.
Gonna clear and hard reset my device in case as this seems to me a little suspicious.
There is an option to turn it on or off in the notification center.
I dont have that option on my notification but it is the right icon so at least I know what it is.
Thanks for the advice guys 😀
