Google has struck a $135 million settlement over claims its Android operating system used customers' cellular data in the background without their permission. The federal class action lawsuit accused Google of allowing background data transfers on Android phones even when devices were idle. Preliminary court approval has been granted and millions of US users could qualify for payouts if the deal is finalised next month.
