[Motorola Droid RAZR] CivEngr:
Worked Like a Charm

Dec 13, 2013 - Worked like a charm on my XT912 AFTER I downloaded latest drivers from motorola and updated them on my PC. (wasn't working at first).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BeSalecker:
Try googling Matts Utility for Droid razr Jellybean. I would post the link but I'm not allowed to yet. It's a one click, easy method of rooting and restoring your phone if it breaks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I also used Matt's utility. It was very user friendly.

Solved!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipetman:
I have this old Galaxy SGH-T959, which I'd like to get on CM10.1. I started out with a phone facory reset (it's on 2.2) and then followed the instructions on the CM site: First I pushed CWMR using Heimdall, which worked ok (I can get into CWM recvovery), but after that the phone seems to be soft-bricked (hangs after the splash screen when doing a regular rebooot). No big deal I thought, since I just need to get a ROM on there. I went through some troubles with installing USB drivers (eventually, I installed Kies and the drivers that came with it made it show up properly in the device manager). Now I just wanted to push my ROM zip via adb. So "adb devices" (after adb kill-server, adb start-server) shows the phone as 'T959xxxxx recovery'. So far so good. But now when I issue a push command (or any other adb command like shell or remount), there is just a blinking cursor and nothing else happens. Any idea wha's the problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu422:
try a pc they are a lot easier to work with with android.

If you are on a pc then try odin... I usually understood heimdall as a mac alternative to odin or just an alternative to odin, odin is made directly by samsung so its gotta be quality stuff. vibrants do have bad ports too, i have two of them and both wont connect to the computer anymore and one doesn't even charge so try putting the rom on an external microsd card and throwing it in it then flash that through recovery, but if you are going to jelly bean usually you install cm7 first then cm10.1... not sure what guide you are using, a link would be nice, maybe a problem could be found there. theres a thread about the whole cm7 read post 2 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43706442#post43706442 haha thats me i had a similar problem
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipetman:
Thanks for the reply.

I am on a PC. The guide I was working off is here: [apparently as a newbie I'm not allowed to post links]

I tried ODIN to push the ROM, but ODIN accepts only tar files etc. and not the CM zip files (at least I didn't find any CM tar's). I also tried putting the ROM on the external sd card, but that was non-starter as well. CWMR would not find the external SD and any attempt to mount it failed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu422:
Find tar versions. I'm not sure how to convert it but if you can't find one just ask and I'm sure somebody with some spare time will put one together for ya
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pipetman:
I found a tar for android 2.3 and managed to flash it via ODIN and get the phone back up and running (2.3 will do, since I need it only for one particular app to run and that required 2.3). Thanks for the help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wgator:
Pipetman, I have the same exact issue now. Can you provide a link to the tar file and to ODIN. I am new to all this stuff.

Thank you

I have no idea what the deal is with this phone right now and its destroying my battery life. I have done everything I know to do with no avail. My phone is CONSTANTLY searching for GPS satellites. If I disable my location settings, they automatically turn back on and resume searching for satellites. Has anyone had this happen? I've done everything but a factory reset.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cacingbesar:
let me guess, you cant disable data connection too?
[LG Optimus G Pro] jimi_pooh:
Do you have any weather widgets? I had a widget I got from google play that was doing it to me.
[LG Optimus G Pro] waine06:
How did u resolve the issue?
[LG Optimus G Pro] wilsonliang777:
I just noticed this problem of GPS keep Turing on. I turn GPS off n it will automatically override it and switches on.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
Damn.... noticed earlier today it was doing that and looked for anything that could have turned it on. Never thought about the phone app. I ended up restarting my phone. Just dialed a number as a test and sure enough... the gps icon popped up. At least this time it quit on its own...

But why would the gps turn on when I make a phone call?

I seem to remember an updated privacy notification coming in the mail from AT&T a week or so ago. In it i believe there was mention of sharing "anonymous call location data." I think maybe I'll dig up that piece of mail and follow the instructions to "opt out."

Think I'm gonna test this by making a call from one of my kid's lines.
[LG Optimus G Pro] SFrymyah:
Good to know i'm not the only one. Its a shame because it wasn't doing it last week and now since I work in a metal building with already poor reception, its just shredding my battery life.

I feel sure that I have all apps that request location turned off. This is unrelated to my dialer app, as I only make one or two phone calls in a day.
[LG Optimus G Pro] SFrymyah:
Root and factory data reset seems to have resolved this for now. Still trying to figure out a cause.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
Mine does it when I make or receive a call. If it can't get a gps lock then it keeps re-trying.

I think at&t pushed something to the phone that started it doing this and I need it to stop.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
Just posted another thread about this and didn't even see this one.. I have the same problem that started arising around 4:30pm yesterday (EDT) and it's been really p*ssing me off!! As of today, it's not consistently turning on as it was yesterday but it for sure it turning on every time there is a phone call or a text message.

Was there any sort of update anyone is aware of? Maybe a system app was updated and caused this problem like this shows
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
So I realized that I recently turned OFF the wifi & mobile networks option inside of the Location settings a few days ago. I turned that back on and it does NOT do it any longer.

I also got on a chat with at&t tech support. He states they didnt have any other reports of this issue and nothing released recently should do this. He also mentioned that E911 uses the gps for location when you call 911. (I knew this.)

In any event, I asked him to open a case with engineering because I don't want it to kill my battery if I make or take a call while in a bldg.

Anyone seeing this should contact customer support to file a "complaint" so it is logged and gets attention.

Anyone seen this on another phone that may be in use in their house?
[LG Optimus G Pro] AKA_Rizzo:
Thanks for the tip.

This just hit me mid week too, I'm trying the above solution.
[LG Optimus G Pro] StrawHatLife:
One piece exists!

Carrieriq people! I don't know much about these phones, but have been learning slowly. I have the same issue, however I discovered carrieriq wake lock last week, and it makes me want to change to Verizon. Now I'm not sure, but I have that wake lock while the GPS is tweaking out. So I'm guessing that's what it is. I had to register just to post this, and I wish there was a way to get rid of it. I live in a Grey area, and prefer not to have all my calls and texts stored in a server for 60 days or whatever they claim to store the Information.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chakdere:
Same issue started 2 days back. Hope to find any resolution
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
Damn carrierIQ... you are absolutely right. Installed one of those checker apps and its on there. (One of the downsides to not having a custom ROM.) But to have it really fire up like this, they must have flipped the switch on gathering "anonymous call location data" as was mentioned in a recent update to the privacy policy.

Installed Logging TestApp from an xda member ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17612559&postcount=110) and then the $1 key from the app store. Went thru the removal process and it no longer kicks on when I make a call.

:thumbup::D
[LG Optimus G Pro] StrawHatLife:
Well I'm glad I'm not the only person experiencing this. Makes me feel better about the situation. Carrieriq has apparently been around for quote some time, however I hadn't heard of it because I was on am extended vacation. When I found out about it last week or whenever it was I did a lot of research on it. But a couple days ago when my GPS kept turning on out of nowhere while I had it off I got paranoid, and was scared they had me under investigation or something. If anyone else tries reggae Smith suggestion and is able to get rid of carrieriq. On this phone please post and let us know. I'm sure most of us out there don't want AT&T saving our texts and call history. Your browser history, and all that. Its a key logger that saves EVERYTHING that you do on your phone. At least that's my grasp on it. I'm wondering if getting rid of it the way reggie did even really delete it though. Is it possible to even get rid of it without flashing a custom room? Just because we may be able to get some peace of mind by not seeing the wake lock, is it really gone? I have only had Android for about 3 months, and managed to work from a atrix 2, to having 2 s3, one with severe wake lock issues. Drain my whole zero lemon battery overnight, to this ogp, which I dig. So this phone works great and one day carrier iq for 13 hours one day, so my friend Google gave me some insight, and bam, here we are. I have so many questions, but the capcha or whatever from my phone is irritating, so I will refrain from asking so many questions in different threads, that people will think I'm spamming. In the words of the great William currington "God is great, beer is good, and *****es are crazy!"
[LG Optimus G Pro] chakdere:
Anybody found any solution for this? There were some Google app updates hangout search may be forcing
[LG Optimus G Pro] vaterp:
Me 2

Well i feel better now. I'm not the only one ... i just started noticing this 2 or 3 days ago and its killing my battery. system services are using 30 to 40% of my battery in a day and it barely lasts whereas before it was excellent.

No way to turn this off yet?
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
:good::good::good:

I can confirm that this 1 dollar app has fixed the problem on my phone as well. E980.

Before trying that i tried to manually remove it, i was able to find two library files @ "/system/lib/" 1 - libiq_client.so && 2 - libiq_service.so

However I was unable to find the associated binary. I found a service lost the name. I installed cwm recovery, and then attempted to remove the library's at the risk of bricking, to invoke a app crash log and figure out where this :crying: binary was located. I added .bak to the end of the library names, and rebooted. I was greeted with a nice message "The android system has stopped working.", when I got to the homescreen, and then again when I attempted to make a call. But the phone worked fine and gps did not kick attempt to search. So I went and integrated the kernel logs and it showed android.iqd as the module that crashed, and an associated service. I couldn't find a full path to the binary and I don't know much about the android kernel yet, I'm only on my 2nd day being rooted on my 1st android device. If anyone could help me investigate this and figure out where the binary is located, and upload it I would be a very happy camper.

TLDR - After using Logging Test app and running remove IQ, i can rename or remove the library files with no issues! But I would still like to know more about the files/services associated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
Double post. Today my phone CIQ re-enabled itself, and started throwing the app crash message again "Android System Has Stopped Working.", because I have my CIQ library files re-named. Also note that it seems that I cannot RECEIVE text messages with these CIQ library files re-named. So DO NOT rename them.

Here is a link to the system_app_crash generated by renaming the library files.

I a very in-experienced android user, I need help finding where "com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.IQClient" is located, and where it is located in the phones startup. In linux there is RCXX.d files that contain startup and shut down procedures.

I live in the grey area so this GPS **** is driving me nuts. - THANKSh
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
Im using stock and im having this problem also! It started 2 days ago like evryone does so i gues atnt really triggered something that kept doing this..thid is really pissing me off too urgh..gonna try to factory reset later and lets see..
[LG Optimus G Pro] chakdere:
I am also planning factory reset let me know if it helps for you
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
Wish me luck coz, if it doenst work? I might hang myself!! Just kiddin, idk what to do after if it doesnt work
[LG Optimus G Pro] vaterp:
Just unacceptable

Its just unbelievable at&t would turn this 'feature' on and destroy the battery life of everyone's phone. It was such a great phone before this, but seriously, android is supposed to be about customization and it won't even obey our own system configuration. It's really unbelievalbe. I hate to say it but my next phone just might have to be an iphone and definitly not on at&t. For as much as I prefer android, I dont think apple would let carriers mess with their equipment like this and ruin the experience.

Just unacceptable. AT&T should be fined.
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
Im sorry but switching to apple is gonna be the same or worst. I spoke with my coworker who has an iphone and I asked him if hes having trouble with his Gps, and he said hes no longer be able to turn off the gps since yesterday and he was annoyed as hell , coz it is killing his iphones battery life...

So yup atnt is effin garbage by doing this horrendous kind of thing..gps/ location on all the time?!! I guess im just gonna need to learn to root my fone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
I figured out how to disable services, and so far so good. I suggest everyone root and remove this **** asap, it rapes the battery.
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
Can you make a video on how to root this phone :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Remove what? I have all but about 3 of my services disabled though the task manager , settings, stop services...

But what do you mean root and remove????

When the fu€k did we get ice cream?
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
Have a look here, this really helped me out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399429 - also add this to it "com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.IQClient"

You will need to be rooted to run those commands, also you can perform a fast check from a root console via "getprop service.iq.active"
[LG Optimus G Pro] vaterp:
Wow, that's shocking to me. I thought apple refused to let anyone mess with their code. It was the reason they first started with AT&T because they let them release it without all that carrier garbage on there. This would take apple playing nicely with them to do this.... thats shocking!
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
I probably turn my GPS off at least 40 times a day now since it started happening to keep that battery juiced up.

Have you had any problems since you disabled it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
No issue's other than CIQ turning back on once. I made a SH script based on the one in the post I linked, and every time I boot my phone I just run it to make sure it's still off. I have not had any annoying GPS messages since.

However there are still other applications using the CIQ library s that I would like to learn more about.

Follow this tutorial to root - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362657 then i suggest installing SuperSU, and root file browser, and a terminal emulator, and TrevE's logging checker app "Which can automatically remove part of CIQ if you get the paid $1 version".
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
I've already been rooted since the day I had the phone :good: .

I successfully did this and the GPS hasn't turned on; it was doing so every time I called or a phone call was received.
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
Save

THIS

as disable_services.sh

chmod, and chown it, then launch it from a elevated terminal session ie "./disable_services.sh"
[LG Optimus G Pro] 11fabe:
I just make a resst to factory setting on my phone (of course I save my files on my ext sd) and the annoying GPS icon is no appearing again

[LG Optimus G Pro] myandroid1986:
I think I have figured it out what have been turning On the GPS, if you guy's are using Google chrome or default web browser, and enabled the location setting your GPS will be online for as long as it is, I just turned it off and it worked for me as for now, my GPS is Off since 3 hours and haven't turned On, I've made calls and used maps but it only worked till the maps were using it other than that it's in peace since than, tell me if it worked for you ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
I tried that already...but still goin on forn me...i might do a factory reset soon..
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
There wouldn't all of a sudden be this many users coming out saying the exact same thing. I had to disable carrier iq.. Battery life has never been so great!
[LG Optimus G Pro] vaterp:
Same thing for me. I thought that fixed it. Then the next morning sure enough the GPS went nuts.

I actually called at&t and the person on the phone didnt have the slightest clue what i was talking about. I ended up hanging up out of frustration. How do we get a message to at&t to turn this crap off (or at least fix it) so it doesnt rape our battery? Would they care at all even if we found the right person to complain too?
[LG Optimus G Pro] chakdere:
Finally I also did factory reset and issue is gone
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
Factory resetting is not a "proper" fix in my opinion. Because you will not be able to get updates. If you update your going to have the same problem.
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
Bump

Anyone resolve this sooo annoying issue yet?
[LG Optimus G Pro] 11fabe:
I did factory reset from settings...try it but save all your data first...it worked for me my phone still rooted

I found something weird...maybe this can solve the problem for some. Of you. ..

Go to settings-account and sync-Google-location settings-disable location
[LG Optimus G Pro] chakdere:
So I did factory reset it was fine for few says and it came back. Anybody got better solution
[LG Optimus G Pro] vaterp:
I fear the only solution

Is too either install a different ROM (thereby confusing all warranties and/or being out of the technical reach of most people)

Or convincing LG and AT&T to turn this **** off for fear of consumer backlash. It was clearly AT&T (or LGs) decision to turn this on, everything was great with this phone for so many of us until one night they sent out an update (without asking) which turned this crap on. They wont turn it off without a backlash - hell their own customer service either played dumb, or was dumb, but they didnt have the slightest idea what i was talking about.

I fear we are stuck with this **** and it infuriates me.
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
I just did a factory reset and installed all my apps again but its not turning on anymore, good but weird
[LG Optimus G Pro] InaruMejil:
Just today i was going to open athread to this issue. I see now im not the only one. I got root on my phone...and my dam location acess is turn it on by itself. I use to keep it on for google now. But its ben doing it for the las 3 days that it goes on. Even when my data is off. Any idea how to fix this issue?

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

I call at&t and they have no complaint reports for this issue. Or know anything about it regarding the changes in privacy policy they did, They guy from tech care recommend a master reset. Witch i say No way kimosabi. Cause i work for tmobile and that's what i do to clients lol! Karma is a bi#$%.

Anyways location access so far turn on while making a call, conecting to wifi or data. Or waking the phone from stand by.

I went to google settings and under location i turn off the location reporting & location history. So far so good. So i will keep checking and let you guys now.
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
there have already been several fixes posted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vaterp:
Not really, the only absolute way to fix this is to root your phone and install a new rom. I happen to like the standard software... had no problems at all with it until this **** was turned on. And this 'fix' ruins the warranty which makes some people uncomfortable.
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
I have it disabled on the stock software fully updated. Root then disable the services, you don't need a new rom.
[LG Optimus G Pro] InaruMejil:
Im rooted and disable google services and is still goin on.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 11fabe:
Try to run this scrip

http://www.4shared.com/file/ZVGjKeRp/stop_services.html

If you can't run it rename it with ".sh" at the end that way your app could recognize as script

Actually you can have your phone rooted and remove carrier iq manually, like a few of us have done with the posted information. I had no problems after doing so and notice my phone deep sleeping much more.
[LG Optimus G Pro] chakdere:
Finally ATT got a LG person on call and he said it is a known issue and they are working on fix
[LG Optimus G Pro] gellin:
my phone is deep sleeping 100x more after flashing to the stock modem.
[LG Optimus G Pro] InaruMejil:
I did try to remove the carrier iq. Strange the phone complete the process and i reboot. But when i run the test it says it still have the carrier iq.

I contact developer but no response yet

But at least is not doing it anymore. The gps crap.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vaterp:
I tweeted LG and they just threw blame at ATT and said i'd have to deal with them. I didnt even reply because i dont have the patience to deal with the blame game.
[LG Optimus G Pro] limitbreak09:
So whats gonna happen now? If i only knew this was gonna happen I should have picked something else instead of LG
[LG Optimus G Pro] 11fabe:
Just disabled services iq. ..I left a script you can download it and run it...you battery will last even longer
