[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
CIQ won't say what data is and isn't being collected, but refers questions to the carriers. The carriers are extremely vague on what data, exactly, is being collected. In some cases, they don't even answer that specific question, but instead respond with something like "whatever data we do collect, we are keeping private."

All we know for certain is what could _potentially_ be collected with the CIQ rootkit. It's been determined that this it could collect every single element of data that exists in your phone. It runs as root, so there really aren't any limits. While I doubt it's doing this, it could theoretically turn on the phone's microphone and camera and send live audio and video streams of everything happening near the phone. It could be recording and sending the data from every sensor in the phone. Every byte of data that enters into the phone could be stored and forwarded.

Could that be used to detect tethering? Of course. That's really not the scary part. Here's some more scary ways this can be abused:

Some sicko at AT&T might have a video of my wife and I having sex last night because she left her phone near the bed.

AT&T employees and their affiliates might have access to any piece of data I ever entered on my phone. That means they could steal my identity with ease.

Because the phone has location data (even if I tell the phone that it should NOT forward it for any purpose), some person at AT&T (or an affiliate) might know when my wife and I aren't home and could break into my house.

When I go to the bathroom, my phone is usually with me. This rootkit could turn on the camera and be "watching" while I take a dump. (Good thing the phone doesn't have a sense of smell.. heh)

When I go to the doctor, my phone is usually with me. I guess AT&T could know my entire medical history, too. (I wonder if they'd be bound by HIPPA privacy laws.)

This goes WAYYYYYY beyond them knowing how a person might be abusing a data plan. Based on what we DO know, it's possible that all the above crazy scenerios are possible (even if they are unlikely.) This goes beyond "Big Brother."

We know what CIQ is capable of. What we aren't being told is how it's actually being used, or why a system was designed to be capable of so much if it isn't used in that fashion.

Am I being paranoid? Sure. I think I'm justified in this case.

Guys, I know many of you already confirmed there was no Carrier IQ on ASGS2, but I updated "voodoo CarrierIQ" today and ran it couple of times and it showed some sort library with carrier IQ though the app confirmed there was not Carrier IQ on stock ROM that I have on my ASGS2.

Is this thing "voodoo CarrierIQ" app or real Carrier IQ, I did not have any idea.

carrier iq removal for lgl55c (attempted)

hello i am a xda noob, so bear with me.

rooted android 2.3.4 lgl55c straight talk

first I installed rom manager and "fix file permissions"

then in avast security i firewalled "com.lge.carrieriq"

reboot

then in android system tuner (free version) i unmarked it on startup (took multiple tries)

reboot

system tuner: freeze, clear app data

reboot

system tuner: move to sd

system tuner: clear app data

system tuner: off

reboot

it does not show up anywhere, settings, avast, or even system tuner.

its gone. I've noticed a significant performance boost, a majority of it just after firewalling.

not sure if this would be of use... but here you go. I really appreciate this forum.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] That1dude:
I know the question title sounds self answering, but on my AT&T SGS2- it says 16gb on the box, but when I look at what is actually available for use, it says 11.36gb available.... total. But of course it has an SD slot. If the gNex only has 11gb available out of 16, that'd be a problem for me since it has no SD slot, which means I would wait. I'm debating on waiting for the 32gb or just ordering the 16gb version now depending on this info. Thanks for your accurate response :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cosimoss:
Total space available shows as 13.33GB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Mine also says 13.33 GB, but if you have apps synced/backed up to your google account it will install those as part of the "setting up" sequence, so your "available" storage will be less after set up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
also keep in mind if you have Google Music, then the cache will also eat up a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Ample space for a whopping 2 or 3 HD movies :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] That1dude:
Thanks! Question officially answered.

Thanks everybody! That's pushing it for me. On my SGS2 I'm using about 11gb right now and I don't even have movies on it. Shouldn't the sad face icon be blue too? Cause that's the colour I'm feelin now. :(

Release the (32gb) hounds!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
How much of the 13.3 should be available on first boot? (Ie how much space does the os use?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
13.3 is what's left of the 16GB after the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triStateMindgate:
13.3 is what you get when you boot in fresh....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
I have issues with mine, under storage it reports 1.3 gb for apps, 3gb for music/videos and 6gb free, I'm missing 3gb?? Windows reports 6gb free and 7.3 used?? The numbers don't match what happened to my 3gb?? Any help appreciated here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
Bumping, greatly appreciate any ideas.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
6.3 + 7 = 13.3 total. Exactly what the other guys told you they had. Zero problem. All storage works this way. You have 16gb of storage, but only 13.3 is usable (after format). Same with your computers hd. For example, if you have a 320 gb harddrive, once its formatted to usable space, you only see like 298gb. Same with your phone.

Edit: I Think you're asking two different questions. As long as both are reporting the same free space you are ok. Formatting "takes away" space, and the os takes up space. This looks about right to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alch3mi5t:
When u buy a 1TB hard disk, and you connect it for the first time, you have c.a. 900/950 GB total space. free, even less.

It's normal, every device with 16/32/64 etc, has less total memory than stated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
This is why I asked what was available after a fresh install, replies I got were 13.3gb. My system settings under storage shows 1.39 for apps, 3.04 for pictures and videos, and 6.60 available for a total of 11gb roughly. So does the os take up 2.3gb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nhan Lam:
Samsung might added fatty TouchWiz. That custom themes and its framework take more than stock android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
This is one of the few benefits that bests the GSM Version.

On Verizon, you get 4G with 32GB. :D

And I could care less about OTA.

So in the end, Verizon variant wins.

Only I miss out on accessories, white housing, and a slightly weaker development team compared to the GSM.
[HD2 General] ken_oy:
Tried to use the search function, but got nothing, so make a new thread.

1. need to check my phone's sim lock status. I don't have a sim from other carriers in hand. Thinking maybe there are some 'Secret Codes' like (*#06#, *#*#4636#*#*), to check my phone's sim lock status.

2. Is there any way to reset the phone without opening the back cover? I know we can reset the phone by removing the battery or pushing the reset button...

But....... I am using a TPU phone case, if i need to open the back metal cover, I will need to take off the TPU cover first. As you konw, that TPU thing is really too fit too tight to be removed :p (using my phone a lot to play games, it dies occasionally)

Thanks!
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
can't suggest anything for question 1, maybe someone else will come along and provide some answers.

regarding question 2, the following works sometimes on the android build i am using currently (XxXPachaXxX's GBLeo Sense, details in signature):

1. when you feel like rebooting, hold down both volume buttons

2. keep holding down both the volume buttons

3. tap the power button and keep holding the volume buttons

4. this key combination is used for a hard-reset i believe. so in case the phone reboots into the hard-reset screen, just cancel out of it and let the phone reboot normally!

i currently have another HD2 (a friend's) that has WM6.5 on it (some version of NRGZ's Energy ROM Series). i just tried the above process on it 3-4 times but it did NOT work.

it might not work on other android builds either. but i know for a FACT that it works on the one i have currently...i do it almost every day! the ROM suffers from a problem in which the screen refuses to wake up (but the device keeps running because it rings, you can't see who is calling, and you can answer it, and have a full conversation!). this happens randomly about once every 1-2 days. and the above mentioned trick works every single time for me when my device is in that particular state.

so to summarize, the trick doesn't seem to work on WM6.5. it might work in some/all android builds. it might only work on android when the device is in some kind of "stuck" state.
[HD2 General] ken_oy:
Your reset method works. Thanks! I don't have to take off the TPU case just for a simple reset now.

The combination will lead to the hard reset screen as you described, and can be cancel by simply pressing the 'back' key.

Running the HyperDroid android rom, have no chance to test wm6.5 yet. But now it works. Thanks!!

The closer aproach would be like an S2 SCL. S is i9000 and S SCL I9003, this is I9103 and S2 is the original I9100, so more or less like S2 SCL.

[Galaxy S II General] josjator:
I have a Galaxy R (i9103) and a Galaxy S (i9000).

Galaxy R is a nice phone. Very very fast and good looking. I think it is very similar to the S2 (i9100) because it looks like it has the same crap implementation of the Yahama DAC. Galaxy S sounds waaay better with Voodoo Sound and I am still using it as my personal phone.

If the only difference is the CPU+GPU part, S2 ROMs may be kind of "compatible". Changing the kernel and other details could be the only needed actions to get some proper ROMs for this phone.

On custom roms for sure ;) Come on, why should you overclock if you have originally faster cpu (1,2 vs 1,0) ;) ?

I tested both handsets (stock roms) and results of quadrant, smartbench, cf... were almost the same, little higher in favor of sgs2 (1,2 ghz ex compared to tegra's 1 ghz). Clocked to 1.2 ghz tegra had slightly better scores in every test.

No need to argue about that, I know what experts say about exynos' and tegra's performance. The thing is that for average user is really hard to notice which of those two handsets is snappier.
