Great job by all of you getting involved in this. FYI. I am rooted with sfhub's non Odin method on stock rom and I tried TrevE's Logging Test App with the pro license from the market. The application said it successfully removed CIQ and told me to reboot. When I did, it got stuck on the Samsung splash screen and wouldn't go any farther so I had to Nandroid restore. Obviously it won't work on our stock roms.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
i wonder how much carrier iq paid to buy those researchers off

lol it looks like they turned off the comments. yep they did...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
So where is Google in all this? They stand to lose massive amounts of business because of CIQ. While it is on the iPhone (and possibly Blackberries/WP7) it's, from what I've read, less invasive and you may even be able to disable it in the settings. Can't do this in Android and it's extremely invasive.

Guess what people will do? Go to other platforms. Also a good point was brought up - this could be why carriers we're asking for bootloaders to be locked. Google needs to step up and clean house in order to save face on this one.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
If any of you think that anything is going to come of this you are sadly wrong. I am sorry to tell you that this will be brushed under the rug.

Who in here has faith in our government to do the just and right thing?

Who in here has faith in our legal system to do the just and right thing?

Big corps like CNET aka CBS is owned by the big boys who does in fact control what we hear and see. These are massive corporations that will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Also back in 2001 right after the 911 attacks the Patriot Act was passed and since then wire-tapping has become more legal every day. More and more our privacy rights are being stripped. Just today our government which is a shame is almost at passing the DoD budget act which in it has the provision that the president has sole authority to detain and jail American citizens at will and can be held for indefinite time without trial or right to counsel.

If the government labels you a threat then the military can come busting your door down and take you into custody and without a warrant.

Dont belive me look it up:

Also to see who is who in the news biz aka media look at the big 6 here

Ownership Chart: The Big Six

The U.S. media landscape is dominated by massive corporations that, through a history of mergers and acquisitions, have concentrated their control over what we see, hear and read. In many cases, these giant companies are vertically integrated, controlling everything from initial production to final distribution. In the interactive charts below we reveal who owns what.

Me I am going to learn how to root this thing and then get this ciq crapware off it. But in my post above I am not trying to be a ass or rain on no ones party. I just do not see anything being done by our government to protect our rights and privacy.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wolfkstaag:
You know, I honestly assumed something like CIQ has existed in our cell phones for at least the last ten years. I dunno what the surprise is.

These days, you should pretty consider your birth certificate in the good ol' US of A to act as a long-term privacy agreement with the government. Pretty simple agreement; it merely states, "You have no privacy."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xhadudkenx:
The surprise is 10 years ago we did not live with our phones like the way we do today. 10 years ago it was not like this how we need our phones for every single day use. It is like as if somebody was keylogging your laptop since that is how powerful our phones are now a days.

I don't care if they are keylogging me play snake on my old nokia phone but if they want to key log my smartphone that's some serious ****
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Snake on the old Nokia phones. Now that brings back some memories! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I'd move to Wp7 before Id buy a crapple phone, or just buy phones that have non-CIQ ROMs available. Im pretty sure when **** hits the fan most phones wont have ciq anymore,but im sure it'll be replaced with something else.

I'd trust pastebin.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
They should have asked these also:

1) why are you still processing URLs when the user is on WiFi

2) are you playing with words saying "we" don't log when it is obviously being logged in the logcat logs

3) would it be possible for a carrier to change the "filter" so it did log that info

4) why don't you provide a way to opt out of having your software run

5) how does a user obtain the information that was logged for their device to examine for themselves
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
...

I just ran the logging detector app on my newly-purchased Epic 4G Touch. Sure enough, CIQ is running. Glad I found XDA so I can get a CIQ-removed rom onto this bad boy...

If anyone hears of any class action lawsuits going on against CIQ, post a link to sign me up! I hope CIQ goes down in flames for this stuff.

I found this article interesting today. Not really about the findings of Dan Rosenberg (we've heard from him on this already) but the mention that he worked with k0nane to reverse engineer Carrier IQ.

http://informationweek.com/news/security/mobile/232300025
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Finally kOnane is getting mentioned...as he should
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It is great k0nane got the mention.

As to the article, the number one most important thing to get out of it is that there needs to be a way for the user to opt-out and disable CIQ. If they had provided an opt-out choice to everyone, there wouldn't be any of this litigation. IMO it isn't about whether CIQ is doing anything nefarious (which is what these articles are focusing on). Personally I don't think they "intend" to do anything nefarious, but that doesn't mean mistakes won't happen nor does it mean black hats can't co-opt the framework.

Rosenberg says it "only" records your dialer entries (not the keyboard) and the carrier should have this already. Now let me give you an example of when a lawyer in a class-action gets done with that. Ah so Mr. Carrier you claim you just have recorded phone #s right? Yes Mr. Attorney. Well how come when we subpoenaed your logs we found that you had recorded the personal banking PIN #s that the user entered after dialing their bank. Umm... well we never thought about that.

[Milestone 2 General] eduwp90:
Hello I have a problem with my milestone 2.

I was using cm7 and today I flashed the official gb sbf via RSD.

Then the phone bootlooped and I tried to enter motorola recovery pressing the "x" and then the @, but when the android exclamation appears and I pressed the @ nothing happened. As I have not gotten into recovery mode I decided to flash froyo sbf.

RSD said "finished" and didn't do anything. I tried to boot up the phone via power button and nothing happens. Tried charging the phone with no results. So now I've got no idea of what to do.

Any ideas?

Sorry for my english

Thank you
[Milestone 2 General] eduwp90:
Ok now ive managed the way of flashing the phone again. Weird though, With the screen in black. Now it works. For avoiding the bootloop, it is possible to wipe data/dalvik/cache via the pc?

Thanks
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Are you sure you have some charge in battery yet? Did you have full battery before flashing SBF? If you are sure, this is not because battery is empty, then try to get into bootloader by holding Power+Volume Down+Camera button and it should be recognised in Windows and then you can try RSD Lite. Or you can try another computer/cable/Linux

EDIT: I don't think so, since you can only use RSDLite (or sbf_flash in Linux/Mac) when in bootloader mode. So best way for you would be flashing SBF again.
[Milestone 2 General] eduwp90:
yes I had battery and I bought a wall charger just in case. ( I had the battery problem months ago)

I'm having strange issue. The screen is black and RSD recongnises the phone. I can flash sbf but the screen is block during the "creating image file" status. When rsd says "flashing code group etc..." the phone screen lits and shows "SW update in progress" as normal.

But when RSD reaches 100% it says "finished and PASS".

I've done this before and at this part the phone reboots and rsd messoges "the phone is being rebooted"...

Now im trying too flash gingerbread official again...

let's see
[Milestone 2 General] eduwp90:
Ok now with the official GB sbf the phone reboots lets see if it bootloops.

Asking again!:

Is possible to wipe dalvik/data/cache without entering recovery? via PC?

OK if someone has this problem remember that the @ button doesn't work anymore. Try vol up + vol down instead!!!

OK people this problem is semi-solved.

If you flashed the official GB you can't downgrade.

If you try it you will get a black screen and the only solution is to re-flash the official GB

Guys, I am having kind the same problem with my device.

I try factory reset on the recovery mode, but then the phone shuts off before it end and does not comes back out (I have to wait couple minutes to get back).

I was trying to upgrade my phone from 2.2 to 2.3.5...

I try the bootloader and it shows me that the battery is low and nothing happens.

This happens, even when it is pluged to the wall charging.

I see also that, the light next to the mini ubs connector shuts off when the phone turns on.

I do not know what is going on and what else I can do to fix it..

Can you guys help me out?
[Milestone 2 General] nethak:
My M2 doesn't bootup afer try downgrade from GB to Froyo, i try boot up the phone via power button and nothing happens.

I have try to charge the battery for all night, the led will be off, but the phone and battery are very hot; i suppose aren't the battery the problem..
[Milestone 2 General] Lean946:
You can't just go back to froyo from gb, at least not directly.

If you were on any 2.3.4 or Retail/TIM Brazil 2.3.6 (not VIVO) , you can try this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263

i use the metod of endless7 when i brick the MS2, but my actually problem is that now i i push power button and nothing happens, doesn't start bootup, doesn't start recovery, doesn't start bootloader
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Maybe you tried to downgrade a non-downgradeable 2.3.6 firmware... what firmware did you have before the brick?
[Milestone 2 General] nethak:
the last CM7 of endless7 and before GB europe stock
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Maybe try to flash via RSD Lite the same stock firmware you had before CM7 (GB) and do a full wipe, then if the stock firmware is downgradeable (you have to check that it is BL=3 or lower, if it is BL=4 you're stuck in GB) try the method posted by Lean946: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263

In the post linked there's a tool to check the BL version

To flash the original stock you must get the sbf file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php

And the motorola drivers from http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/

And RSD Lite 5.7 from http://www.mediafire.com/?racaejnadym1q2g

And follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032372

ok, but how do I turn on the phone? if i push power button don't nothing happens

today i retry to connect the MS2 to pc and power on the led of charge and on pc pop up the message said "install s flash omap 3630", if this done i try to flash the stock GB rom and also this is done

thank you Caesarivs

Now I have to decide what to do because I have bought a GNex

It does. Looks like the new market app has some field for lcd density too when developers upload their apps. Some apps get this incompatibility issue when they change density.

Way around for this would be to search for the apk online, download, and install. Once installed it would work fine. But there won't be any market updates either.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] acomiskey:
I ordered a proclip mounting bracket for my car but they havent released the actual dock for the razr as of yet. So my idea is to use the proclip bracket and mount the verizon navigation dock to the bracket. My question is, can you remove the suction cup arm from the mount? What does the back of the mount look like?

Also, is it possible to launch the cardock app without actually having the dock?

Can you disable having the cardock launch automatically in the dock?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cyphrmatrix:
You can remove the dock from the suction cup it just snaps in to a ball and joint socket thingy. there is no car home app in the app drawer but im sure theres a way around launching it without the dock and i havent seen an option to disable the autolaunch of the car dock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] acomiskey:
Cool thanks. I did find an app in the market to launch the bedside dock mode but no car dock mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cyphrmatrix:
what app is that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] acomiskey:
It's called "Razr Dock".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ShurV:
1. I didn't find yet a way to launch the CarDock app without actaully docking

2. I found that you can disable having the cardock launch automatically in the dock by diabling the SmartCarDockEventReceiver that is receiving the android.intent.action.DOCK_EVENT event with the "Autorun manager" app.

I have another question related to the cardock:

I have Plantronics K100 speakerphone in my car and it is used for the phone conversations via Droid RAZR's bluetooth.

At the same time the Droid RAZR's 3.3mm audio jack may be connected to the car stereo system and that's where the RAZR will play music.

That is the fine and correct way

However when in a card dock and connected through USB charger cable with special audio jack on it, the Droid starts to play both phone calls and music on the same output line.

If the bluetooth and speakerphone is turned on then both calls and music are played on speakerphone. If you turn this connection off it starts to play music on cars stereo, but also the phone calls are route there too.

Is there any way to fix it somehow ?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaxs_r_us:
I am new to the android platform, so please don't "grill me on the spot"

And just so you know....I read and read and read about it, but I just can't figure this one out...

I am a Symbian modder and cook, so I actually know how to do stuff like this...

but now I am stuck

Heres the problem:

My friend had problems with his Streak 5, which I believe was released with Android 2.1

His System crashed and he went to an other friend that put on Android 1.6...

He told me it worked for about 3 days and then crashed again. So know he gave it to me to fix it.

SO this s what I did:

I figured that he probably downgraded it, while putting on 1.6 and so I thought that might be the reason for the crash.

So I tried a Froyo Version 345

Still doesn't work, so I tried the latest release Version 360 & 364...

which would mean, that there is no way I downgraded on the last boots...

but 360 wouldn't be recognized by the in recovery mode - option 2

so last one I did was 364...

Anyway...the problem is that it won't boot...it always stays on the Dell logo

after I put in the 364 and pushed recovery mode it, didn't say Error, so I figure it did something....

after that the dell logo disappears shortly then comes back again...(reboot?) but won't go farther than that

Now when I turn on the dell streak all that happens, is that the three buttons on the bottom light up, but no Dell logo...

I just can't figure this one out...can anybody help me out?
