[Updated] CarrierIQ Drama: Verizon Again Denies That Any of Its Phones Have CarrierIQ

[Malvado]

One data point (well maybe): I installed TrevE's new app for detecting CIQ. It was written for HTC phones, but seems to work fine on my Bionic. It says I do not have CIQ on my rooted and rommed phone. You can get the app here: xda-developers - View Single Post - [DEV|APPv7] CIQ / HTC & Google Checkin / HTC loggers / Tell HTC Info & Removal . Also, be sure to buy the $1 pro version in order to unlock some features and to support TrevE.

Nice find

I have an HTC Thunderbolt. I am rooted but I am running the OEM ROM and Kernel. The QIC Test revealed no APK from Carrier IQ. Is it posible Verizon is telling the truth?

It should also be noted that the HTC Logging Test revealed that logging is taking place. So while they are telling the truth about Carrier IQ, they are being less than honest by not telling us they are logging using a different method. LOL

Let loose the dogs of law on them! I'm not one for class action lawsuits because the only people that gain much from them is the lawyers. In instances like this though these shiesters in suits could be wielded like a mace against companies and providers who utilize this garbage. Let the pinstripe fortune 500 chasers beat one or two of these offensive techno cads about their wallets and the rest would trip over their own tech and software engineering departments to correct their evil subversive ways!

Of course vzw doesn't use this.

They got their own stuff

Anyone root and run the search on the Razr yet? I am finishing a remodel while working two jobs and as such have no time to root my phone and run this search.

While I feel better about VZW stating they do not use it, I would feel a lot better hearing from someone on here that the Razr is free of it as well as the original Droid X that my wife uses. Both are running stock right now.

Though I do have to wonder what it is that Verizon is using as we all know there is no way that they would miss out on this type of research if they could get their hands on it...

Didn't this all start when HTC specifically was found to track? Now it's blown up to carriers??? Dang... Glad all my devices are rooted lol... Great way to stick it to em.

Now we just need an app for devices that are being tracked, one that sends false info to CarrierIQ... that way their info is useless.

Just ran the Voodoo Carrier IQ app on 2 Thunderbolts, the Bionic, and the Rezound. Carrier IQ not detected. I guess Verizon is telling the truth when they say that they do not have Carrier IQ installed. On the other hand, Sprint has publicly stated that they do in fact have Carrier IQ installed on Sprint phones.
