I prefer external storage so I can inspect files. Internal files are not accessible unless rooted.
I can wipe a SD card. Whereas, factory restore does not truly wipe internal files. For example, this week I did a factory restore to mediaserver. Merely playing my music with the stock music player caused MediaServer to run, use my battery and sync my music. I deleted my music but there is no option to delete music from the stock music player library. Hence the factory reset. The wifi hotspot I had connected to was saved. What other data was saved? I don't do backup. I don't have a google account on my Motorola Droidx. I downloaded VLC from f-droid.org. VLC doesn't cause mediaserver to sync my music. All my apps are from f-droid.org. I am not concerned about the open source apps I download gaining access to information on my SD card. I am concerned about Google, Verizon, NSA, third parties, etc. remotely accessing my smartphone. They can access data regardless whether it is internal or external. In light of the Snowden relevations, we need to protect privacy. Your alibi for not disclosing in the wifi is the misconception that everyone knows their entire emails are cached, the cached files are unencrypted and are permanent. Whereas, few people have knowledge of this. Most users would not have the knowledge to use Kate like I did or some other linux programming application to open the .db files to examine them. Inkscape could not read the CVS files. What apps can? Had I only tried to open the CVS files, I would not know to be concerned that K-9 is breaching my privacy. However, after opening the .db files, I expected the CVS files may be snapshots of my emails. > > -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
