I dont like google* so how do I prevent google from collecting and using my data on my tablet even though I dont use google*?
My new 10" Hipstreet Phoenix tablet has all of those google 'control' apps like google play etc. I would really like to delete them all and just use firefox and etc. If I can't erase them, and dont use them, what is stopping google from watching over my shoulder and collecting my data anyway? And prevent google from disclosing my identity and location as well when it gives you no other option during setup? Everytime I tried unselecting those boxes it would shutdown and not let me bypass it. Since Microsoft got away with all that illegal info stealing you can bet other companies are doing the same with no fear of a slap on the wrist. Google was stealing all the wifi activity while driving around under the guise of mapping. What makes anyone think they suddenly found scruples and ethics. I looked and could not find a tablet without google on it so now I dont trust them and would really like to delete or disable it before I start putting all my info on it. I may sound paranoid but I am in a self-imposed witness protection and need to stop google before it does something I will regret. HELP!!!

I hate to send you away, but since there are so many non-Firefox apps nd settings involved with your question, I think you would get better answers on an Android forum. The one I use is: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ If they do not have a specific forum for your device, you can post in one of their general forums.
My question didnt pass their test. I am really tired of 'you're not good enough' responses I will try somewhere else. Thanx for the suggestion tho.
I don't understand what you mean by "my question didn't pass their test." I'm sure there are ways to reduce tracking on Android, although there's probably no way to prevent it altogether (why would Google allow that?).
At the least you can create a new Gmail account and avoid linking it to other indications of identity.
Tablets that do not use Android include include Apple (iPad) and Microsoft/Nokia (Surface/Lumia).
