Given how much analytics garbage phones regularly spew out, you'd have to perform HTTPS MITM attacks to check this – and that's the kind of thing that alters the behaviour of the system you're measuring.

I still don't think it's likely, but if somebody were to find some suspicious code, I have no real reason to doubt that it's doing something like this.

I wonder how Linus Torvalds feels about God taking credit for Android being open source?

They didn't have to make the userland, which is arguably a big part, open source so I opted for google...
