tl;dr: I found the never-used sound recorder app in Boox Note seems to be uploading data in the background.
I upgraded my Boox Note to v2.0 firmware recently and was quite impressed by the smoothness. A couple of days ago, I was trying to play around with the new launcher and clicked the manage app menu of Sound Recorder. I dont use the recorder app so I was trying to see if there is an option to fully disable it. To my surprise, even though I never used the app, it uploaded near 80 MB of data. WTF.
I purchased Boox Note half an year ago because its the best option out there if I want to install 3rd party apps like Instapaper or Inoreader. I did have a great time to use it because the benefits E-Ink brought, or at least, I made myself believe so. Now I am both sad and mad for what I found. If anyone has a Boox Note and is with more Android knowledge to check where the data was sent to, please help so I can feel safe to continue to use it.
