Have fun.

Short: Carrier IQ(a background program in your smartphone) collects everything about you.

Video description if it gets deleted:

More information about Carrier IQ. If youd like to talk about it, post below, tweet with #CIQ or if you have a board discussion about it post the URL here. I will be doing NO moderation.

While your out there thank the @EFF for letting me continue

Why are you looking at CarrierIQ for information and not HTC? Look at how many devices have Carrier IQ hidden. HTC is just including 3rd party software. They have privacy policies everywhere for their programs, this is not just an HTC/Android issue.

Visit http://androidsecuritytest.com/featu...rs/carrieriq/c... for more info.

Videos were shot with E4G/E3D, so dont complain about quality.. If you want a better shot of something let me know!

Video Contents:
Part 1 - Start - Device setup
Part 2 - 3:15 - Where we don't see CIQ
Part 3 - 5:05 - Finding CIQ Application

Part 4 - 8:34 - Watching Carrier IQ Watch Us
8:39 - Keypresses
12:27 - Receiving a SMS Message
13:35 - Using Browser on WiFi

Part 5 - 15:45 - Carrier IQ on an out of service device
Part 6 - 16:49 - Conclusions

As far as I read(and know), it's only for smartphones.

Can't you kill it through rooting?

Also, for BlackBerry users, there's an article from the BlackBerry fansite 'CrackBerry' here: http://crackberry.com/carrier-iq-your-blackberry

The privacy issue does not bother me as much as the processing time and efficiency it costs to log my actions like that! I want my smartphone to be lightning fast!

It would be kind of bothering to know that my actions, locations and data is being logged, but I assume their database contains millions of these entries in a very small amount of time, so what is my information ever going to be useful for?

If someone wants information about you, they'd just have to search it up.

Basically, they could destroy your life.
