As I understand it, all Samsung android devices have it deeply embedded, so much so that removing the binaries will cause boot to fail. Sign me up for a removal tool.

Cognition

My Captivate is running Cognition 5.2. I ran the CIQ checks in the Logging Checker apk. The CIQ File List returns with three entries:

/system/bin/iqmsd exists!

/system/lib/libiq_client.so exists!

/system/lib/libiq_service.so exists!

Am I interpreting it right that my phone has CIQ? I have a screenshot, but it seems I need more posts before I can post it.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Two CIQ libraries and a binary daemon - I'd say that's a pretty strong indicator that you do

[Captivate General] Roanna:
Is this for firmware 2.2 or just original stock?
[Captivate General] Delgoth:
Cognition 5 is based on the official release of 2.2 KB1

My Captivate is running Stock Samsung Froyo 2.2 KB1, I have a running application called Mobile Tracker Settings in my list that when I press force close does nothing but highlight the button blue. DOES NOT FORCE CLOSE. are you going to tell that's not odd?

Most people are running 2.3.3+ builds BASED OFF OF CYANOGENMOD 7's Kernel, which in turn if you read the articles would indicate that the CM Kernel's have the CIQ hooks removed already so CIQ is not present on ROM's based on Recent CyanogenMod updates.

Just because your phone doesn't have it doesn't mean it doesn't exist...
[Captivate General] chappatti:
Stinking stuff this CIQ !

Of course, the concept itself already exists on every PC running windows - it is called error reporting. Every time you have a crash or software error, you get a pop-up that asks whether you want to send an error report. Ever see that?

The one BIG difference is that it GIVES YOU THE OPTION of not sending. I never send error reports. The situation here is a little more sneaky, because on the phones there is no pop-up that allows you to choose "Don't Send". Malware like keyloggers etc. use this to "evil" ends. So the problem is not that it may be for innocuous error collecting, but someone with savvy can actually use the CIQ via an app you download to collect this info.

Manufacturers need to stop this or provide ABSOULTE GUARANTEES that it will not be misused or cannot be hacked in form another app. And that is where my beef is with this S^&t peice of software. Unfortunately, this stuff is so rampant in everything any device collects data - including browsers like Chrome and PCs and iPads - we need an "OCCUPY S*^T DATA COLLECTION" movement to make this prominent. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Captivate General] Roanna:
I'm running Firmware 2.2 kernal version 2.6.32.9 Build number: FROYO.UCKB1

I don't see Mobile Tracker Settings in the running services or applications. I think the one of the bad parts of this Carrier IQ is that it hides itself from those lists anyway.
[Captivate General] nbell13:
No AOSP based ROM will have this evil little bastard lurking in the firmware, according to the programmer dude who made the video. ICS for the win!!!

Does that mean we're sure the 2.2 Captivate doesn't have it? :)
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
To be fully certain you must download TrevE's app and run the checks yourself. My current rom based off our latest KK4 leak does not have CIQ based upon my own search and TrevE's app.

Edit: Just tested my sister's phone running Cog 4.5.3 and it also does not have CIQ. Not sure about stock Froyo yet

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] Archpope:
I would venture that any custom ROM available on this site would, in all likelihood, not have CIQ running. Most chefs tend to start by taking an existing ROM (usually a leak), stripping it down to its most essential components, then adding in what they want. CIQ would likely be assumed to be carrier bloatware and left out. And most of them are "hardened against data collection" anyway.
[Captivate General] Roanna:
I've been thinking about doing that by my warranty is still good until Feb. Perhaps I could unroot it... but if something breaks hardware wise and I can't unroot it I'd be out a chunk of change. Just trying to find out if anyone knows for sure with the stock 2.2
[Captivate General] nkrick:
CIQ is not "removed" from CyanogenMod. CyanogenMod is built from AOSP which never has CIQ in it. CIQ is something that the carriers and/or OEMs install in order to collect information. AOSP is pure open source Android code. Even the kernels used with CM come from open source code released by the OEMs (as required). Sicne CIQ is not open source, none of the CIQ binaries will be in the open source kernel releases.

The best way to be 100% sure that your phone doesn't have CIQ is to use AOSP or a ROM based on AOSP (such as CyanogenMod).
[Captivate General] Nucleartx:
Running Lostlogic kk4(GB leak At&t), no CIQ found.
[Captivate General] Delgoth:
So what you're saying is that Evo Port of Cyanogen mod had to have a kernel released by Sprint in order to develop for the phone. So that means since CIQ wouldn't be in the open source release. It had been REMOVED prior to being released.

Was the whole point of your post just to try and one up me in grammar or something? You said CM never had the hooks in the first place so they can't be removed, then you go on to say that since CIQ isn't open source, they had to remove all the hooks to make it look like it was never there.

Way to bash me and make yourself feel better, just to say the same thing I did. CIQ is embedded in the chipset of the phone, so even if it's removed from the rom, if the kernel still supports communication to the CIQ chip, my guess is that CIQ can function without actually running in the Rom.
[Captivate General] mfdemicco:
Thread title needs to be changed!

It's apparent that SOME captivates do have CIQ installed. I ran supercurio's "Vooodoo Carrier IQ detector" and it found /system/xbin/iqbridged, so obviously I have some form of CIQ installed. I'm running Gingerbread KH3/Pinnacle 1.3 and Corn kernel v5.05.

Moderator or OP, how about changing the title of this thread?

Just an FYI:

I have 2 cappys. Both are hardware identical!

I use 1 as my main device and the other to play with roms, kernels, etc... when I find a combo that I like better than my main, I switch the sim and the main becomes the test...

Okay, that said my current main is:

SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

2.3.3

I897UCKF1

2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832

GINGERBREADUCKF1

I purchased this phone pre rooted in this configuration from Amazon and have not yet re-flashed it.

I ran TrevE's tool on this phone and it reported that It was indeed infected with CIQ!!!

I purchased his removal key and it ran perfectly on this cappy and is now reporting to be clean :D

My current Test phone is an AT&T Froyo 2.1 stock captivate (1 penny phone upgrade from AT&T) that I rooted and flashed to:

SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

2.3.5

I897UCKK4

2.6.35.7-I897UCKJ3-CL614489

GINGERBREAD.UCKK4

I used the KJ3 kernel because I soft bricked the KK kernels every time I tried to root them.

TrevE's tool reported that this phone is clean and there is no trace of CIQ!

All Kernels and ROMs were found here on XDA.
[Captivate General] Johnny Paranoid:

I have been digging thru the Cognitionv4.5.3 zip I897UCKB1 2.2 Froyo and havent seen any trace of IQ where people have found it, SO maybe carrier IQ didnt start till gingerbread. Dont really know YET until people with froyo Roms post there results.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
I tested and got theses libraries too. Asked about them in the CIQ trevE thread, and since the libraries that were found were EMPTY, it means CIQ isnt running.

Hi guys.

I' used the search tool, but found nothing not even close to this, so I decided to open a new topic to ask: Is there a stock ROM for A500 with Portuguese (Brazilian) language?

My Acer A500 is completely stock and was updated to version 7.006.01_COM_GEN1 in the last acer update, but this ROM only has the Portuguese (Portugal) language.

I know Acer has lauched the A500 here in Brazil, but I have no idea if they have made a translation to pt-br, or if they're selling here the pt-pt version.

Can anyone enlight me?

Thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Right here (it has Portuguese language):

But if you're not rooted, and don't have CWM installed, you can't flash it.
[Acer Iconia A500] gustavobvlima:
Thanks for the reply.

I've also tried the stock Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2 update (not your file) and it didn't have the Brazilian Portuguese, but only the European Portuguese. Do you have this version on your tablet? If so, could you check whether there are 2 "flavors" of portuguese language?

If there's only one Portuguese, it's most likeky the European version. You can tell them apart by checking the "settings" icon on the menu. In European portuguese it's called "definições" and in Brazilian Portuguese it's called "configurações".
[Acer Iconia A500] :
The choice I have to switch my language to is spelled "Portugue~s" the ~ being above the e.

Not sure which Portuguese this is?
[Acer Iconia A500] gustavobvlima:
Yeah, it's the same I got here. Unfortunately, that's European Portuguese. I'm guessing Acer was too lazy to lauch both versions... :mad:

Thanks anyway for the help! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
No problem. I just learned that there are two variations of Portuguese ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] gustavobvlima:
It's always good to learn something new! :p

The two variations are like English-US and English-UK. People who speak one can understand perfectly what a speaker of the other says, but some words and expressions seem kind of awkward.
