[Kindle Fire General] newboy78:
so far the only thing i have found is to have my "one click" goto a empty prepaid card... then if someone tries to buy something it goes to my email saying that it failed and then i can (if its something i want) click in the email... sign in though my phone and change the payment to another card i have saved in amazon.

if you want to block total access including free apps i use the "app protector" and there is a free version in the amazon market for 7 day trial.
[Kindle Fire General] nednarb:
The best option that I see is to what was mentioned using a prepaid credit card. I use that with a lot of things of this nature. That way these companies get what they want (my credit card), and I am at a basic no risk situation because there is no money on it for them to take. A good example was when DirecTV said I didn't return a box on time and they tried to take hundreds of dollars out of my account without notice.

That being said I know Amazon wants us to buy buy buy, but the kindle is a great option for kids. No parent wants their child to one click access to their credit card.
[Kindle Fire General] LoriH7:
This is the only thing I've found. You can pick & choose what they have access to. I wish you could disable one-click on certain devices!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
hi there,

All of a sudden in Autostarts, I noticed that there were additional line items with processes that never used to be there.

For instance, google talk used to show After Startup and Secret Code Entered.

Now, its showing 3 more processes:

com.google.android.talk.cancel_notification

com.google.android.talkreceive_message

com.google.android.videochat.received_message.

I've seen all sorts of these added for many different apps.

The only thing I did/can think of was install that cruzee personal assistant.

Has anyone else seen this?

Im going to restore a nandroid from yesterday to see if they are still there, I'll report back shortly.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Sometimes apps can work against you as much as with you. Report back after nandroid restore. It is possible that the app isn't reading right on the phone or setup. I haven't used Autostarts on this phone yet so I can't confirm one way or the other
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
After restoring my nandroid... The additional processes magically disappeared (for multiple apps).

Not sure what the cause was but I'll most likely not be reinstalling that app.

Trevor's exposure of Carrier IQ's software tracking keystrokes is getting nationwide attention!

But what's just as incredible is Carrier IQ's bald-face lie in the Lamestream Media that they're not tracking keystrokes, in the face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary: "...[W]e are counting and summarizing performance, not recording keystrokes or providing tracking tools," the company says in a statement.

I'd love to see Trev sue the pants off of that company, and also HTC (who knew well the full extent of the tracking all along), and maybe even a class-action lawsuit, with all Android users (at least all HTC Android users) as part of the injured class.

[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I warned that I would be sending info to contacts in the media, I wasn't the only one that did it. Aside from that, now it is being picked up all over the Web, and mainstream media is reedy to cash in on the story. cIQ didn't play ball, so people are pissed. They just keep lying to save their company from a huge loss in stocks. Don't expect that you have seen the last of this in national news. When are these companies and entities going to learn? People are pissed, specially lately with the large scale upheaval from ordinary people, getting tired of being used like pawns, the majority is having their rights, freedoms, and even their livelihood trampled so that the minority can prosper. People of majority have the power, and we are finally using it on large scale.

I encourage anyone and everyone, if you have networked over the years with someone that is involved in journalism, and no outlet is too small, feed them the entire story. From the c and d letters to the most recent news of keystrokes being logged, tell the story.

Much respect to treve for this is shows how the people are always right from the manufacture lying to us...
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
No not a chance. Now if this gets large enough attention and out cry from the part of the population that isn't tech savvy you will see the carriers either remove ciq temporarily through patch, or ciq will finally be motivated to give the option of opt out. I would highly doubt a phone exchange will be allowed, but this is so wide spread it won't matter. Nearly every phone has this type of software on it. Nokia, blackberry, Android, all have it.

Yeah really really great job everyone. This is a real life, very personal example of how much power you have as an individual, but then the community rallied around this one person and it has now been taken global. Every individual that is working with Trevor to find more information, every individual that has made an effort to pass this information on to the deepest holes of the Web, the members that have made contact with people they know in journalism, people tipping off news organizations...all of it was done by ordinary users and members of this community, and now is being passed on by people that have never even heard of xda.

I mean do you see the sheer power we have here when we work together and have a medium as powerful as the internet at our finger tips? It is absolutely incredible to think about when you consider we take it for granted every day. What was once only possible by physically traveling places and spending hours trying to spread information, not only that but spread information to people with enough power and clout to then launch that information to more people because they have people that want to listen to them. With the man power of a select group of this community (not the whole community), and the technology to send information that used to be difficult, and we have done it instantly. The power at each and everyone of our finger tips is more powerful than what even a thousand people in the past were capable of over a long period of time. Just think about that.

If any of what I said resonates with you, click my user name and find a recent post of mine about internet censorship. All of the freedom and power of what I just said is being threatened by two current bills, SOPA, and protect IP. They are being sponsored by companies like ciq that want to silence this power I just rambled about, and they dare do it under the guise of preventing piracy and protecting intellectual property. It is horse ****! Sign the petitions, and call your congressmen. These can't pass!

Every member involved in spreading the information Trevor has discovered is a hero. Good job everyone!

I trust these guys but my question is how do they know this for certain. the only way to tell would be to monitor carrieriq actually sending the data out and seeing what they collected, no?

I like lookout a lot and all that they do is great BUT if they are so good they can tell what is being sent and what isn't while also saying its bad that they do record the stuff and provide no opt out, wtf have they not said anything about this in the past???

He speaks the truth, its actually hard wired in our brains to accept slow change even if it is negative for our happiness and survival. It is the same mechanism that allows con men to get away with the foot in the door technique, and bait and switch, and then thank them for it. The fact that this wouldn't be concerning to someone is alarming. I don't mean to sound like we all need to put our tin foil hats on, but the bottom line for someone who already has power is different than the bottom line for the rest of us. They want more money, more power, more status. Unfortunately once you already have lots of power and money it gets real easy to get more. Don't accept a changing world just because the grievance is small. All it takes is a foot in the door to do a whole lot more changing. And we aren't talking about for the good
