Carrier IQ Detector is available on the Android Market - find out if you have it

I suggest using this open-source alternative instead: <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.simplecarrieriqdetector" rel="nofollow">https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.simp...</a>

Every single app review says their phone was clean. That makes me think this app is less detector and more placebo.

Any of us in Europe has CarrierIQ? None of my friends has on their phones. P.S. I bought my phone not from network provider.

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&#38;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 ?

So my Sprint Replenish does have Carrier IQ. Now that I know, how do I get rid of it?
