i know what it does, and i still stand on my statement, as you and i type every letter on our keyboard it si being key logged to thats the sad truth of this an everything, no matter how you look or want to make aware to anyone its still exist and as technology grows so will this.. so either cry and complain bout it everytime some like this comes up or just say i know the fact im being watched but what else more can i do.. cause there is nothing you can do.. your normal house phones are being logged, not lot know this but there is KEY words that if you say in a conversation it picks up and sends a alert to the proper authorities..

its something to look and jus get over...

Also think bout it, when something goes truly bad, say a murder uses a phone officials can pick up they logging of calls and texts and read them back, so this loggin has been around for awhile so i dont understand why its becoming sucha big deal when its been around
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I wonder how this affects the speed and responsiveness of the phone's OS?
[HTC Sensation] Tankrat:
Yes that is true what you said but most people already know that cops can get your records from a phone company with a search warrant depending on how long that company keeps those records.

This is deferent, a third party collecting all information of what you do on your phone without your consent or knowledge is wrong. This company is also not the government so what right do they have without your consent.

Yes on a console, a PC, and1st and 2nd party apps on your phone you give consent for them to use various monitoring techniques but you have a choice, here with carrier IQ you are not giving that choice it is there and you have to use a crowbar to get it out of your phone.

I'm no fanatic but I do believe in the constitution. It is your right to give away your privacy but it is not for someone else to take it away from you.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
You keep saying it is nothing you can do about it, well you could not be more wrong. You can take and S-off your device, unlock your device, root, or what ever the proper method is for your particular device to be able to flash a custom recovery. Then simple download and flash any AOSP ROM. This will give you a device without CIQ.

Now you must not have read the official withdraw of the S&D letter to TrevE that IQ posted a link to on their website. Go yo the XDA Portal and have a look a the latest article by orb3000. Obviously the message has gotten to IQ and I would say more than likely the Carriers. Yeah some say that the power users are a small group but it is a group with great power. When the people that a large force in building enthusiasm for devices and OS's speak out against something that they do not like, people tend to listen. Therefore it has a large chance of affecting sales, new contract signings, and contract renewals.

This whole attitude of people not being able to do anything about something people consider wrong, is such a epic fail. I mean if no one never tries to bring change to something then yeah sure nothing will happen. And the powers that be gains that much more control. But luckily people are starting to get tired of never having change and are starting to do something about this messed up world of ours.

Last thing, if you think this is a simple logging system. Again you could be more wrong. This CIQ has full access to your device, as well as full rights. It can not be killed, forced close, or uninstall. I will not go into any further details, but this is far from what IQ and the carriers want you to think it is.
[HTC Sensation] Tankrat:
Carrier is a global company. The company does have offices in London...

http://www.carrieriq.com/company/index.htm

And under the heading "About Carrier IQ"

http://www.sys-con.com/node/1865183

So European phones may have CIQ installed depending on what the mobile provider. Something that our friends over the pond

should research.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

That is very well put.

If you sit back and do nothing, then nothing will get done.

The more people complain about this, the more something is likely to be done.

As far as the carriers are concerned, they probably think that no one knows that this stuff is even installed!

Its important to show our awareness of this situation, and complain about it.

:)
[HTC Sensation] 22VIN:
How about Logging TestApp? I heard that this app helps you erase all the logging apps in the phone, including this one.

Wow, at first i was reading this thread and had the same, "well whatever" attitude. But after just a couple of minutes googling and reading, this is really messed up. CarrierIQ has issued a cease and dismiss order against the guy in the video, along with threats to sue if he does not publicly apologize.
[HTC Sensation] dcwiker05:
Well put but this isn't fair to the end user. Why should I have to void my warranty, perform a potentially brickable operation on my phone, and take time out of my day to do all this, just so these a$$holes can't steal my information. It's messed up that the world has come to this, even worse that some people think its not a big deal
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I read where this is supposed to be baked into the kernel on the Sensation but I'm not seeing the offending IQ services in my manage applications list. Anyone seeing them on their US T-Mo Sensation?

****update 1st December 2011 at 03:31 PM.

just installed treve's app http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17612559&postcount=110 and no CIQ installed on my stock rooted Sensation. I still have the suspect HTC reporting stuff but I was aware of that thanks to Treve's past work. I wasn't even aware that the guy from Connecticut on the news was Treve. Cool. Buy his pro version if u can guys - gotta support people who are looking out for us.

****update - I've read some people state they see the same services running on the EVO3D on their or a friend's Sensation4G. I'm wondering if these are XL or Beats versions or the original. I have the original version and no CIQ. Some people are reporting longer battery life and a better experience after removing CIQ on the Sensation. Read a confirmation of CIQ being included in kernel source code.

Hope this helps someone.
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
Lets make this clear that there is no Carrier IQ "CIQ" installed on our HTC Sensation devices when purchased from T-Mobile USA :cool:
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
You have posted this twice now and in the other thread you were asked if you had a link to support this. I too want to see a link with proof of this as I have been following the CIQ story pretty closely as I think this is something that needs to be stopped. It is a utter violation of privacy rights and very shady if you ask me.

Back to why I wanted to post here. I really want to see some proof of this statement cause I have yet to see any information supporting this. Also T-Mobile has not publicly spoken on this subject yet either. So I want to se some sources quoted.
[HTC Sensation] mytouch990:
Someting went wrong over here. If only installed the voodo carrier detector itseft. Open the app and check. Is said carrier IQ not found. But if I install the Treve app too. Than went back t open voodoo again and check is said carrier IQ found and inactive. I think Treve app more like the the carrier IQ
[HTC Sensation] mytouch990:
Please also install the app called voodoo carrier IQ detector and open and check. Please dont go to far...
[HTC Sensation] VideoVeteran:
More details here:http://www.engadget.com/update/carrier-iq-which-companies-have-the-smarts/

And..

Sounds to me like the diagnostic tool used by TMO-USA is Carrier IQ.
[HTC Sensation] dcwiker05:
I can confirm this. I work for T-Mobile and it was posted on our employee website as a our response we have to give if a customer asks. We use CIQ, accourding to Corporate though we dont use it for everything its able to do but who knows anymore!
[HTC Sensation] :
I may be alone on this, but does anyone else seriously not care about Carrier IQ? I mean, who cares if some assholes have the ability to read my text messages about going to Farm Fresh to get milk? As long as I'm not a terrorist plotting to kill 90 people at that Farm Fresh, I think I can let it slide.

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the silently installing it on everything and not giving users the option to opt out, but I'm not scared of it.

T-Mobile US:

That text tells me that I don't give two you-know-whats about CIQ.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Sadly no you are not the only one that feels this way. But this kind of complacency is just what companies and governments want people to have. This allows them to continue to gain more control over the masses and to further dig into each of our private lives. If you do not see the seriousness of this I do understand as our society has been taught to be so complacent. Again this feeds into the ajenda's of big corporations and governments. And before I start getting flamed or degraded in this thread, what I speak of is true even if you do not want to admit it.

Now I pose a question to all the nay sayers out there. If this CIQ software does not have a hidden purpose, or to put it more elequint a non disclosed purpose, why does it need to be so hidden from the end user? Why is it so deeply intergrated into the software on the device? Why does the end user not have a opt out option, why can the end user not uninstall or force stop any of the applications?. Why would software that is suppose to help with such things as monitoring networks efficiency and device efficiency have to record and monitor virtualy every aspect of a device? Why would this data be recorded and sent to the CIQ the split second between you manually commanding the task and the task actually being carried out on the device? If you just take the time to do some real reseach into what is going on here common sense tells you there is more to this CIQ then what is being told. I mean just look at how everyone from CIQ, the carrier companies, and the device manufacturers are playing the blame game and passing the buck to someone else. Just look at all the official statements from everyone says it is not used for this our that. But yet when you read TrevE's website and watch his video it is very evident that it does do all of the thi.vs that say it doesn't.
[HTC Sensation] OberonSnowcat:
Well I've checked my phone and as far as I can see it doesn't have that rather offensive app in its software. Then again I've got a custom Rom as well as a custom Kernel.
[Optimus 7 General] Muvolt:
I'm really pissed off with Microsoft...They have totally abandoned open market phones...First, we had a major error with Mango update that made some people to flash a new official rom in order to get that update. I never got a tethering update for my open LG and now I don't even get the latest official 7740 update. I don't f$%^ care about carriers. I bought an officially OPEN device and I demand support, or else they can stop selling us illusions...
[Optimus 7 General] kj_xda:
Sorry to hear that...

I purchased an open market phone from Amazon (US) and have been it on AT&T. It's the LG E900. Recently, I got the Mango update, and the firmware update for tethering and hidden ssid's. Everything working great!

In the US. I got a Vodaphone Germany.
[Optimus 7 General] Cyruss89:
Vodafone Germany ≠ Open Market.

I'm also pissed of, I bought an open market device, because I wanted updates asap and now we have to wait longer?!
[Optimus 7 General] ceu160193:
I have thought, that Zune checks phone status: if phone has update notification, Zune will find update immidiately.

So, if we hack phone for update notification, Zune will deliver update to us.

Anyway, it pisses me off, open market phones recieve updates after branded phones.

P.S: Vodafone > Open Market

Added: I got strange thing after setting empty all 3 registry keys: on creation of relationship Zune tells, that I must not disconnect or use phone while update, but still no update!
[Optimus 7 General] gsm-man:
Getting the update is not equal to getting access to hidden WiFis and Internet Sharing. I've been through all 3 firmwares available to me (German OPN, European OPN, and Vodafone Germany), and I know that at least the German OPN receives a post Mango update called "LG Update". But after applying it you still don't have Internet Sharing and access to hidden WiFis.

I was so sick of this that I eventually flashed the Vodafone firmware to have a Mango phone as Microsoft specc'ed it. Unfortunately now I'm missing out on "Kundencenter" and "NAVIGON select" in the German Marketplace. I hope they will appear sometime in the future. I know I had them while using the Euro OPN firmware with my Telekom.de SIM.

To be honest, I totally hate the way these updates are run. And that Microsoft's support is playing the finger pointing game ("LG is free to disable features in the phone. Complain to them")
[Optimus 7 General] ceu160193:
Right after Mango I recieved LG update too, but it was far before news about update with hidden wi-fi and internet sharing.

My firmware cycle is Singtel Singapore firmware, Vodafone Germany firmware and Europe Open firmware.

On this forum I saw 1 post about successfull update with open firmware (firmware version became 1.1.4.10) so now I am in search for latest EU OPEN firmware with those features. I lost any hope to recieve update normal way, so I gonna reflash my Optimus 7 again instead of hopeless using of "Update" button in Zune.
[Optimus 7 General] Talys:
I'm not sure this is entirely fair. I the firmware update is for E-900 devices, NOT E-900h (the North American version).
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
If you have the Mango Update, i.e. 7720, and you don't have Internet sharing, just developer unlock your phone and it should show up.

That's all I had to do to mine, granted mine is Vodafone branded on AT&T, but they seem to play nice.
[Optimus 7 General] ceu160193:
It didn't work for me. :(

Developer unlock does nothing without updated driver for wi-fi, which I can't recieve.
[Optimus 7 General] kj_xda:
AT&T US - E900 - all mango updates hidden SSD, internet sharing

like I said earlier, I have the kg e900 from Vodafone Germany (bought on amazon us) and I have mango with hidden said support and internet sharing at&t us. I received mango when Microsoft rolled out the last update to remaining phones. Also had mfg menu to set to at&t 3G. Never been happier!
[Optimus 7 General] Cyruss89:
I wait for 2 or 3 more days and then I will also flash a Vodafone ROM :/

What a weird world, where a carrier ROM is superior to the OPN ROMs.
[Optimus 7 General] Muvolt:
I guess that in the US, most of the people use carrier contracts because they are ultra cheap, but I don't think this is the rule with the rest of the world. It seems that Microsoft has initially organized WP7 support around what US needs.

Generally speaking, Microsoft has "forced me too" to flash my e900 devices with Vodafone ROMs in order to get the updates. If second generation open market WP7 devices have the same (open market device specific) restrictions with the updates, I won't buy a WP7 again.
[Optimus 7 General] la_Tensor:
I have an OPN Phone too but no one can say me if i will get the Update.

But i read on Pocketpc.ch that OPN Phones get teh Update with Mango, but the Option is disabled.

I checked MFG Menü but find no option to activate IS, can anybody of you take a look to MFG ?

EDIT I Found out something strange: I installed Supreme Shortcuts from here. And Activatet IS, i get an tile to my homescreen and can get in the IS Menue but by activating i get an erorr message. I take some Screenshots.

Any Ideas any one?
[Optimus 7 General] Muvolt:
...for what update are you talking about? Tethering or the latest official?

Tethering and Hidden WiFi can't be turned on inside MFG. I have looked at it many times.

Microsoft says that carriers are rensponsible for tethering in branded phones. They almost didn't say what happens with open market phones but I found out that, Microsoft has thrown the responsibility to phone companies...who don't care about open devices too.

The latest post mango update has yet to appear to open devices...
[Optimus 7 General] la_Tensor:
@ Muvolt i talked about the Internet Sharing update.

Yes sure i asked first LG, they told me i should ask MS, they told me i should ask my carrier and the sayed i should ask MS.

Can you say something to the screenshots above?
[Optimus 7 General] Muvolt:
Probably, you are trying to toggle tethering via that shortcut app, but tethering hasn't been enabled in the firmware, so you get that error.
[Optimus 7 General] ceu160193:
Tell me, where I can download that application, I want to test it myself.
[Optimus 7 General] la_Tensor:

I received update for open market firmware, but without internet sharing or hidden wi-fi. WTF is this?
[Optimus 7 General] Kives:
That's nice for you, you but your phone isn't an open market phone, it's Vodafone branded.

I don't think Microsoft is to blame for this missing wifi-driver update, it's LG's choise to support only branded phones.

The 7740 update came from MS and it was rolled out to all phones.

I have an issue with the 4G mobile hotspot app. Can't connect my tablet, a stock Toshiba Thrive, to the internet via my phone. It recognizes the WiFi hotspot but can't obtain an IP address. Tries to obtain an IP address for a few minutes, stops, then starts over.

I am using Revolt rom 1.5.

I added the 4g hotspot app (from a zip file using CWM) . Insructions and app were in the Revolt 1.5 thread.

My tablet connects to my home WiFi and with the McDonald's Wifi.

I have added the 4G mobile HotSpot to my Verizon account and have received an email from them saying that the feature has been added.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
My recommendation would be here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1162170

My bet is that this will solve your issues, and you don't have to fork over those ludicrous rates to Verizon.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
This is an issue I've been working on. And, if you are like me and use tethering a lot, better to be safe and keep the tether plan. If you use less than 5 gigs total per month, then ditch the plan. I use anywhere from 35-70 gigs per month as it's my only internet, therefore, worth the extra $30 bucks for 40+ Mbps service. :)

The only way to get the 4gHotSpot app to work properly is to re-flash with the TOT file via LGNPST and keep it stock. Even just rooting seems to mess it up, but that may be related to installing a root-tether app as it was working right after rooting but not too long after it stopped, possibly after I installed a tether app. Even going back to stock from a backup doesn't seem to help. Something gets changed and messes it up and does exactly what you are referring to. It's related to the DHCP Server and I'm struggling trying to fix that.

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] edwalsh:
Thanks, but that is not working either. I have that app but my Toshiba Thrive tablet will not recognize the ad hoc wireless network. That is what prompted me to go to the Verizon solution.
[LG Revolution] borborpa:
If you use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users, and choose LG Optimus S as your profile, and the network part to 192.168.1.0/24 it will create a normal network and the tablet should be able to connect.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Yeah, you should use the non-ad-hoc settings recommended in that thread. Others have their tablets working that way.
[LG Revolution] edwalsh:
Thanks! that worked

Or iMediaShare or any other app...not picky about how. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgetmyname:
Hi,

I installed cm7 (insanity) (which is great).

I am unable to get the built-in stock browser to run Flash.

I went to the Adobe site to check, and the Flash dis not play.

I set the Enable plugins to Always On, and installed the app Adobe Flash.

Any clues?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
As you are running CyanogenMod ROM, you should post your question in the cm7 thread.

You can try to wipe cache partition and Dalvik cache in recovery mode.

You can try to clear app data for the "Internet" app via Settings menu => Applications => Manage applications => All => Internet => Clear data.

Alternatively, you can use another browser (such as Firefox, Dolphin HD or Opera) from the Market to play flash on web sites.

Good luck !

First let me apologize if this has been answered. I have tried to look in the forums for an answer and can't find it.

What I am trying to do:

Unlock SBF 198-7

Install jokers ROM

I am stuck trying to unlock SBF 198-7. I know it is possible b/c the rom requires it. If someone can please explain how to do that would be great. If there is a thread about this already that I have missed please share the link and I will request this thread be locked so that it doesn't waste anyone elses time.

I am familiar with RSD and Fastboot and have tried the steps if you have the stock 154 SBF.

Thanks again

Phone info:

Sys ver.: 45.3.7.MB855

Build ver.: 4.5.1a-1_sun-198.7

**Forgot to mention** When I try and do moto-fastboot oem unlock ######### I get - "... INFOOEM unlock is not implemented" If that helps any

I had the same error. I sbf back to 154_6, then unlocked using pudding, then sbf yays stock 198_7, then used pudding and I was good to go. I know its a hassle but it worked for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
If you've already unlocked your bootloader before.. Just use the unlock bootloader by itself.. You should be good from there ...

The unlock itself can be used through rsd .. ..no need to type anything

This is kind of where I am. I was unlocked before I started. Looks like I am going to have to try phyba's suggestion if no one else has any ideas.

I don't mind at all doing this just seems like there should be an easier way
