@jasonhunterx No. However I now realize the app I posted was very much not what the OP was asking for.

Edit: Something I've found quite odd is that the app isn't even available in the Tegra Zone market. It's there with description and everything, however there is no option to download...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andoruB:
After an unfortunate rooting session with my Motorola Milestone, the phone now returns into an "dead" mode. It refuses to start at all. I tried charging it and see if it starts by itself, but it doesn't budge and the little while led doesn't lit. The only time when it lit is when I connect it to the PC. I tried putting in it a new battery, taking out the SD card and SIM, but to no avail. I remember seeing a video where a guy used a dissected USB cable to spark the phone into turning on again, so I take it I'll have to use a "hardware approach"? Please help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andoruB:
I tried following this guide, though without success. The phone still has that white LED lit when it's connected to the PC.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andoruB:
After a reply on this thread I also made, it might be possible that the battery is charged, but the phone refuses to boot at all. Is there any way to unbrick the phone in this state?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Hexchain:
Do you think your device is really BRICKED?

If so, you can try to flash your original sbf file into your phone. Guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696845

If you are using a Linux, google for "sbf_flash".
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mzvast:
I agree with my front floor..ermm, u dont need to worry about its 'dead'. just flash original sbf can rescure your phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] algopem:
I had the same problem too, but good news is I tried to revive my phone successfully recently, btw your phone is not 'dead', it's just staying in limbo state, the solution is to pull out the battery and don't connect to any usb, don't try to power it up, it must be completely out of power wait about 12 hours, and then try to power your phone, I think there is some capacitors in the phone which retain the phone state, to make it out of power will wipe out it's state, good luck
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] scholbert:
"My phone is in limbo state... " ;)

That's a pretty cool statement.

From technical view, it might have happened that something caused a kind of deadloop when reading scratchpad SRAM inside OMAP processor.

This SRAM, as well as the internal RTC is powered by a small battery soldered on the mainboard, while the phone is shut down and the battery is taken out.

What you did was, to wait untill this battery became uncharged.

All SRAM and RTC setting as well then gets erased.

Afterwards the CPU will start up with empty scratch SRAM, might be called a "real" cold boot :D

Normally the phone should not behave like this. Even if SRAM is not valid the phone should boot up...

...but anyway as you observed it like this, it might happen.

@andoruB:

Apart from that, the Milestone is hard to brick in general.

Might happen though, if you do evil things while flashing new firmware.

Especially while flashing bootloaders...

If you got some more information about the things you did, would be helpful!

Good luck anyway!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jakson0100:
how did u root it? can u give a more detailed description? and hows ur phone? sometimes, the milestone would just shut off and wont come up if the battery is gone. Try charging it for maybe 2-3 hours, untouched, and see what happens.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] vortech1:
Have this exact problem. Was doing a nandroid recover when the phone got stuck. Pulled the battery out. Placed it back in, pressed the power button. Nothing.

Led lights up only when connected to the computer's USB. Battery was charged before Nandroid recover. Used nandroid a lot of times but for some reason, my stone stopped playing nice.

I just removed the battery. Hoping this works. Can someone please post if you got this same issue resolved? I like this phone no matter how slow it goes sometimes. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] andoruB:
I completely forgot about this thread, sorry guys!

I don't remember exactly what happened, it's been so long... but I do remember I left the phone "inactive" (it's not like i had much of a choice! XD ) for 1 or 2 months, with the battery out. After I got hold of a wall charger, I plugged in the battery, after I plugged in the charger, and what do you know? It worked! It started charging (was 60% charged, fully charged, I unplugged it, but after putting it to charge again just to make sure it was fully loaded before I would flash a new ROM, it was charged up to about 80%, weirdly, so I guess it was a weird battery problem)

I do remember I didn't do anything to it, so I'm not sure what to tell you guys to do, except leave out the battery for a month or so ^^;
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshMiers:
I have been messing around with getting all (or at least most) of the CarrierIQ services disabled without having to install a NoCIQ mod.

I have made some progress and wanted to share the info in case other people have more to add.

The following commands are what I am using:

# setprop service.iq.active 0
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity

They should be easily scriptable to run at startup, but for now I am running them in an SL4A script manually each boot:

su -c "setprop service.iq.active 0"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity"

The setprop will shut down the iqmsd process. After the setprop, the "getprop | grep iq" will show that it is disabled:

[service.iq.active]: [0]

[init.svc.iqmsd]: [stopped]

The other commands will disable most (if not all) of the intents that cause the "android.iqd" process to run. You should be able to verify this with a "ps | grep iq" call.

I just edited my /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file and added the following lines at the end:

setprop service.iq.active 0
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity

Doing this resulted in no ciq at startup. I looked at framework-res.apk's AndroidManifest.xml in the EK02 rom and there don't seem to be any new activity/receiver/service declarations so this _should_ work with EK02 as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
This is great--thanks for working on this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I don't know what to say other than thanks for the work OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Problem is it will reactivate..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Seriously?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
Op said he runs it manually at start up. Does it re-activate before a re boot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Yes Ican confirm it does reactivate. I ran the scripts and not even 1hr later back up. WTF icq. Hey also been reading that a class action lawsuit is in progress,maybe that will change some minds at sammy&sprint.

Iha e notbeen able to find the reinstate trigger, No idea what kicks it back in?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am way out of my league here but could Script Manager be used if you saved it and set it to run on boot or as root? Edit...I should have read a little better. It started back up BEFORE reboot. Damn
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshMiers:
It doesn't start back up for me. After you run the commands, verify that "android.iqd" and iqmsd aren't running via a "ps". Otherwise, something else went wrong.

Since making this post I haven't rebooted and the processes are still gone.

Maybe there is another trigger that needs to be disabled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Hey I do need to add I am on 2.3.6 baseband. What base R u running this script on? If 2.3.4 disregard my last post. As my findings might dilute your testing.

My only question is why not run the MOD?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Stock frame work has "intents" that check for the service, and restart it. Just disabling it will cause some other things not to work sometimes... or has been known to in the past, thats why k0nane has rooted it out in the framework and released his no-CIQ mod
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshMiers:
I am on 2.3.4. I didn't run the mod since I was trying to gain more info about disabling it with just root.

I want to also add that ciq has not started back up for me. These commands have been working for me for a while now.

I disabled the activity/service/receivers that respond to these intents, so the intent won't actually do anything. For example, here is an extract of logcat that shows the service not starting:

D/IQClient(26697): NativeClient init failed: IQ Agent is not running?

Try running all of the commands from a root prompt in adb shell in the order specified to verify they are actually going through.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
While this is a cool achievement, an incredible Dev by the name of k0nane has managed to REMOVE CIQ. While this could be useful for a select few, it would be more beneficial to most to simply remove CIQ with his flashable method.

EDIT::: I really don't mean to be a jerk here... I just thought I would point it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
keep up the goodwork dont let my findings change your diging. I can't stand ICQ. SCREW THEM ANY WAY WE CAN BROTHER.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshMiers:
First sentence of my post:

To elaborate, I wanted to mess around and see what I could find in order to disable CIQ without using a modified jar/apk. There really shouldn't be a reason why we couldn't disable it without resorting to a mod, so I wanted to look into it and see what would be needed.

The only people that would find this useful would be people who don't want to install any modified apk/jar files (unlikely on this forum full of flashaholics), but I also wanted to share the info in case there are phones out there with CIQ and no way to flash a mod. Maybe someone could use this info as a starting point.

Since starting this thread, google's first result when searching for "pm disable IQService" is this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
It's more than a "select few" and for us it's not as simple as using the flashable mod. Ever heard of EK02? ANYBODY, I'll say again, ANYBODY that's running the EK02 ROM cannot flash k0nane's mod. Until someone edits it out and releases an updated mod, we're SOL.

Short version: You're very wrong and this could be highly beneficial. If we could get this into a file to put in the init.d folder or make a .sh script that will automatically run every 'x' amount of minutes or seconds (whenever CIQ restarts).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That's what I was thinking. If someone smarter than I can figure out how often it starts up then someone can possibly write a script to counteract it. Thanks to those who know tons more than I do about this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
I understand what everyone is saying completely. I just thought it would be beneficial for anyone new to know that this isn't the only method, seeing as how this, being new and recently posted on, shows up at the top of the list. And since CIQ is a hot thing right now, I just wanted to point it out. I mean absolutely no disrespect here, and I can see where this is useful. I just wanted to mention it. I should have been a bit clearer with what I was trying to say. My apologies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
It may be a process that gets restarted remotely as well. Just because it never restarted for you doesn't mean that it can't. I love when singular personal experiences are supposed to represent the universal norm. Why leave something dormant for no reason? I'm still confused by the principle of this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Please show me where the OP stated this is guarenteed to work without hiccup across all devices? While you're at it please tell me how an attempt to contribute something useful to the community lacks reason. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Ok, found a couple things that should help us make an auto-kill script. Two ways we can do this:

1) One will automagically detect if the process is running (by name not PID) and kill it. Maybe through a loop or something? Probably the best method.

2) Make a script that starts (started) on say 1-1-2011 and doesn't end until 1-1-2015 and runs every 'x' seconds or minutes. Not the best idea since we need to know the restart cycle of CIQ, which isn't fun.

http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/32156-how-run-script-automatically.html

http://www.linuxweblog.com/kill-process-name

I only know very basic scripting, still learning but I took a few things from one of those links and slightly adjusted it. One is a shell script, the other is an init file.

One helpful thing to know is - can we run cron jobs on Android? Do we have the ability? I don't see why not but I've yet to see it done either.

DO NOT TRY TO RUN THESE!! It's not meant to be used - hence the "example" title.If you know what you're doing then by all means take a look and let's get this accomplished:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Couldn't this be handled by tasker in case it does start back up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
Could, does it have the ability to gain root access?

EDIT: What's the name of that app that lets you schedule and run scripts? I know it had root access.

I did find out that busybox does implement cron:D Huge plus right there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I would have to imagine it does, but it doesn't jump out at me on the market page
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
This is the one I was thinking of. Would be more user friendly and easier to implement until we can get a functioning script made.

Just make a 'killall' script for CIQ and set the cron settings in the app so it will run the script every 'x' second/minutes. Whenever CIQ restarts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshMiers:
The reason for the thread is just to give options and, really, I just posted the findings that I have been working on personally to try and disable CIQ.

Now, having said that, the CIQ folks could probably have made it so it is almost impossible to disable. However, from what I have seen, the client and server can be stopped via disabling the service/client with "pm disable" and setprop commands.

It looks to me that they are just using common android conventions to run. When an activity is disabled, any intents that would normally cause it to start up won't actually start it up.

I haven't decompiled the framework apk/jar yet to see the AndroidManifest.xml and know exactly what service/receiver/activities are declared for our device, but the more common ones are what I went after first.

As I went through and disabled the service/activity and, finally, the boot receiver, I saw android.iq shut down on its own without a ps kill.

I think this info is useful and would hopefully help us with a script that won't have to run every X minutes to killall igmsd and android.iq.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshMiers:
I edited the OP. I was able to add commands to my init.goldfish.sh file and have no ciq present upon restarting. I also looked in the AndroidManifest.xml file from framework-res.apk and added 2 new packages to disable. This should also work with EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Hi Josh, do you know where service.iq.active is being set to 1?

For some reason my stock startup doesn't set it to 1 and accordingly iqmsd daemon isn't started. I know I've seen iqmsd in the past running so at some point it must have been set to 1.

Also it seems the pm disables are persistent for me. After doing the pm disables, android.iqd was still running. So I proceeded to reboot. Now android.iqd is no longer running.

I did NOT enter anything into a startup script like /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh

I do have a bunch of Sprint apps disabled.

I'm thinking it is possible I disabled an app that enables CIQ during startup and that is why my entries appear to be persistent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
So, for my setup, all the "pm disables" are persistently stored in /data/system/packages.xml under the framework-res.apk package.

I don't have anything that sets the property service.iq.active to 1, so iqmsd doesn't start either.

So basically I didn't need to add anything to startup scripts. Everything appears to be persistent.

/system/bin/iqmsd is not restarted on reboot nor after periods of time

android.iqd does not show up on reboot nor after periods of time

I'm interesting in finding out what is "restarting" this stuff for other folks' setups.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morrighu:
According to Carrier IQ's patent application it is possible for them to restart it by sending a text message to your phone, by sending an OTA update, by getting you to click on a URL or several other remote methods. Keep in mind that this thing is designed, according to the patent application NOT to require user intervention to start, stop, or change configuration. It is designed to be managed remotely from a web portal at the carrier.

It kind of sounds like they are attempting to patent a botnet ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paolo_dp:
Hi guys,

Unfortunately my gnote abandoned me after less than a week. The first 2-3 days later I had no problems then this happened:

I bought a new sim which I promptly inserted into the terminal, when I did not even realize that I had asked for the pin but the next day when I ricceso the phone and the situation was the same as I'm concerned. Without going into detail I will explain what tests I did.

Reboot, factory reset, and downgrade the firmware to the original kka kj4 stocks by odin. It worked but only until the next reboot.

Today this practice is not good and that is the case, no line, no baseband, no imei.

Will I still have the warranty? Do you have tips?

Will "recovery-Thunderc-v-1.2.0GNM" work ok?

Will I have to flash each new daily or does it update?

Hello everyone,

This is my first android device and I have a couple of questions regarding the browser:

1) Is there a way to add a plug-in to the browser to behave like iOS's Safari "Reader" functionality? Something that will basically display the text of an article without all the fluff (like ads and whatnot)?

2) The fonts used for the different sites I frequent seem to be a bit off. Are there fonts missing from the stock android that I need to add?

3) Zooming-in to a piece of the text by double-tapping seems to be a bit off, for me its zooming in a bit more that it should leaving the last few words of each line of text outside of the view. Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwazi:
what the...

1) "Reader" functionality? some kind of jailbreak hack? Anyways, I believe you can disable images in the settings of browser (theres a ton of settings there so go check them out). As for ads, there are some apps out there that do that.. but as a dev, I'm pretty against it so maybe someone else will point one out

2) Thats even more weird.. the Galaxy Nexus does use the new roboto font and it does use this to render websites. But you're saying some websites appear off? Got any examples?

3) huh? double-tapping works very well for me. Again, some example sites? You're double tapping on a segment of text right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
For #3 you probably need to turn on word wrap/reflow or whatever it is called. Occassionally doesnt work and you need to refresh on dolphin browser.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong state.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freicook:
The answer is yes

For issue #1, there is! You don't need an account, but I would highly recommend signing up for one at readability dot com

Go the Android Market and search for Readability. Download the Readability Bookmark app and create the bookmarklet. This will create a bookmark with no icon called Readability. Then just go to any page with boat loads of text and images and ads and garbage and click the tabs button to show the bookmarks button, click it and then click the Readability bookmarklet.

It's a terrible workflow but it does work. I've been using it the past couple of days and it's very comparable to the Reader button in Mobile Safari.

For issue #2, I don't know of anything like that.

For issue #3, I have the same problem. Double tap on a column of text and the column fills the screen with just a few words off of the edge. I've played around with the browser settings and I can't get it to work. Pretty much any site with text, to answer kwazi's question.
