You are confusing the things you do on your mobile device with actual location tracking. GrapheneOS limits the information sent Home, to Google et al. It does not provide any protection from triangulation of your operator, as your telco modem has a unique identifier. The only way to get around that is by turning off your phone and pulling out the battery (certain phone models keep your telco modem on even though your phone is off). This kind of defeats the purpose of having a mobile device. Unless of course you’re also a low-level hardware programmer in possession of the telco modem specs, api’s and the necessary equipment to update your telco modem firmware.
