This system application (aka CneApp) keeps accessing my location very frequently. It’s related to the smooth switching between wifi and cellular data when wifi bandwidth is low. I doubt it’s checking my actual location to guess which signal will be better, I think it’s more likely that it does some wifi scan and that android APIs record that as a location check since indeed by knowing the WiFi networks near me an app can figure out my location without even accessing the regular location provider service of my OS.
But my question is what is the privacy policy of this application? Is it sending any data to Qualcomm or to someone else? If so, what kind of data?
For now I’ve disabled all permissions of this app, because I cannot disable it altogether, and I’m waiting to to see if anything breaks.
