Came across this, had heard that phone companies could do this but it is far more creepy than I thought.

The phone

can still be compromised AFTER removing battery. All cell phones have a backup battery, one that goes in effect when yours run low and keeps the time updated. This one can be accessed as well. Tried to leave a comment on vid, but as usual utube is commie censoring.

All cellphones do not have a backup battery. Mine looses time when the battery dies all the time. Cellphones sync up their time with the phone carrier network as soon as they are turned on and usually update their time automatically from there, so there is no need for a battery backup for time. In addition, lets see you take apart some cell phones and show some of these hidden secret batteries. You make the assertation with no proof, so lets see some. I have worked on cell phones, fixing them, unlocking them, and I've never seen this mystery backup battery once. They may a few phones on the market that do that I haven't seen, so I won't make the ASSUMPTION that all cell phones don't have them, but in the probably 100 or so different models I've had to work on, I've never seen one.

Read a report, can't even remember if it was Clinton or Bush anymore. But there was some emergency thing going on or something and a bunch of reporters were going into airforce 1. They had to remove the batteries in their cell phones. But not only that, they had to put them in some kind of special bag or box once the batteries were out. I remember there was a reporter that found out after that, that there was a backup power supply in the phones, so they could be tracked remotely and/or turned into a bug.

So ever since, and it's probably been like 10 years now, I've just assumed the latest and greatest just has improvemnts on that.
