Google has a post up on its security blog that is half advertisement and half PSA-style announcement for Android users: go into your settings and turn off the "Allow 2G" toggle.

Smartphones are capable of doing a lot of things that older mobile phones were never capable of.

Of course, with all the different features and services running, it can be difficult to keep track of everything a smartphone is doing.
