[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planb234:
I fully agree with the spyware issue being loss of CPU and bandwidth. Especially in the past when the mobile network was all ready slow then you have your carrier and manufactured fighting you for usage. That's the point I was making about Google. They no doubt have more private knowledge than any other company but they do it painlessly. If you want feel some big fat clumsy hands in your privates install some apple software. Your right about the Knox not changing i believers it was a ram booster. I was getting pissed at it mostly Because I wanted my update and it was I dating my phone every ten to 20 minutes with stuff that has no benefit for me. Have you had Samsung pull a bug report from your phone yet? I'm going to be honest about limiting is'. The majority of joy and use I get from my phone is upgrading and making or run better. It doesn't take long to see that manufacturer and carrier only bog you down. I did the same thing when we only had windows or Mac. It's a lot harder to upgrade windows because of all the effort puts into making sure you don't get anything didn't pay for. Windows was freaking unstable as all can be and expensively expensive. Software had to be designed for Windows to like it. Terrible it is in a monopoly. What are you wanting referenced from Google? Events are simple enough for you to do yourself so I have to assume claims such as helping to develop. If you have set up ADB you know that Google is the company who provides all of it. Microsoft provides the simpleton operating system but microsoft is a miser who feels like effort above security updates is below it. Again security updates are never for the device. Owners must provide there own security. Drivers are all done third party and just a real joke. Microsoft uprate allot with out any concerne for other peoples hardware this making manufaturers work on past sells or hosing the consumer because their hardware is worthless. To get adb to hold the first time your only option is a driver made by Google. They are giving it away but on order to get it you petty much have to go through everything it takes to develop apps

You are also left with the software to develop apps that you can uninstall or develop apps with. Now you've got to be curious why ADB is hidden like this. It is not an over site on Google. If google was there would be a way to steel base drivers so as not have to give away extensive software that could make other people moneyv instead of them. You can take the shortcut and install minimal android studios to use ADB or you can get it all. After it I'd installed basic instructions are given and it will even tant you this is how your make apps it's easy what age you waiting for. If you play with it you noe get ribbons for Google Support asking would you like to have assistance with a Google professional live. Click yes and for free you get expert advice who will jump in you're computer and do it for you to get you going. As of the software for creating apps and android itself you are given access to the android developers library. And a professional who will teach you how to use it for fee. Mac and Microsoft want money for their professional to help you keep their stuff running right because they all ready got paid so d GAF about their equipment or their customers. There is no other company on this planet that will give you resources' support and encouragment for an educations in what could be livliehood. You buy someone elses software and support is a pain. If that doesn't put Google in throughout highest class what does. Of three companies Google was the one not charging. Open source is freedom for hardware and software. If your device crashes because of instability in software you are screwed at the high dollar developers. With android you pick an os you want to give a shot and you are on you're feet. You don't have to pay developers. It doesn't sound lucrative but results don't lie. Google is by far the alpha male now and that grows as the others slow. Look at Microsoft struggle now. You can't charge for unstable software when your aren't the only option.
