This app worked. I have an Atrix 2. I froze the process associated with cIQ. I'm not an advocate for violating peoples privacy but if they want to collect the texts i send to my mother they can have at it. The lack of disclosure is obviously a problem though. What was infuriating to me is now my phones battery life has increased by 1/3. For the last few weeks and probably on my older android devices this nonsense has been sucking the battery down like a sorority girl drinking malibu. On the atrix 2 the process you want to freeze is called "device health application"
I see this as a triumph of the Android ecosystem. Carriers (Verizon) have the option of doing the right thing and not inflicting this invasive tracking software/rootkit on their users.<p>With Apple's our-rule-is-law, whether you're on AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint, you don't have a choice. You <i>have</i> Carrier IQ.
No CIQ on Republic Wireless.<p><a href="http://republicwireless.com/forum/news-discussions/suggestions/carrier-iq" rel="nofollow">http://republicwireless.com/forum/news-discussions/suggestio...</a>
Score 320, with CIQ active and running on Infuse4g on Rogers Wireless. I guess, I shouldn't be surprised considering it's Rogers.<p>Is there a detailed list of what CIQ transmits ?
