[QUOTE] [IMG]http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2011/12/a0b829695e7d084ccc1f270bff61110f.jpg[/IMG] Responding to the [URL="http://gizmodo.com/5865373/senator-franken-continues-kicking-asstaking-names-in-carrier-iq-inquisition"]US Senate request lead by Senator Al Franken[/URL], AT&T, Sprint, HTC, and Samsung have sent the list of all the phones with Carrier IQ spyware installed in them. The carriers have also admitted that Carrier IQ also captured the content of text messages "under certain conditions." Here's the complete list: [h=3]AT&T[/h]AT&T claims about [B]900,000 users[/B] using phones with Carrier IQ. The software is active on eleven AT&T wireless consumer devices: • Motorola Atrix 2 • Motorola Bravo • Pantech Pursuit II • Pantech Breeze 3 • Pantech P5000 (Link 2) • Pantech Pocket • Sierra Wireless Shockwave • LG Thrill • ZTE Avail • ZTE Z331 • SEMC Xperia Play It's also installed but not active "due to the potential for the software agent to interfere with the performance" of the following phones: • HTC Vivid • LG Nitro • Samsung Skyrocket Carrier IQ is also packaged in the free AT&T Mark the Spot application, available for Android and RIM. [h=3]Sprint[/h][B]26 million[/B] active Sprint devices have the Carrier IQ software installed, says Sprint. That's almost half of all their subscribers, 53.4 million customers, so you can assume that they have it installed in all the Android phones of the manufacturers Sprint reported to the US senate: • Audiovox • Franklin • HTC • Huawei • Kyocera • LG • Motorola • Novatel • Palmone • Samsung • Sanyo • Sierra Wireless [h=3]Samsung[/h]Samsung claims [B]25 million phones affected[/B]. It has directly installed Carrier IQ at the factory in the following models: [B]Sprint[/B] • SPH-Z400 • SPH-M800 • SPH-M220 • SPH-M540 • SPH-M630 • SPH-M320 • SPH-M810 • SPH-M550 • SPH-M240 • SPH-M560 • SPH-M330 • SPH-M850 • SPH-I350 • SPH-M900 • SPH-M350 • SPH-M360 • SPH-M570 • SPH-D700 • SPH-M910 • SPH-M920 • SPH-P100 • SPH-M260 • SPH-M380 • SPH-M820 • SPH-M580 • SPH-D600 • SPH-M930 • SPH-D710 [B]T-Mobile[/B] • T989 • T679 [B]Cricket[/B] • SCH-R500 • SCH-R631 • SCH-R261 • SCH-R380 [B]AT&T[/B] • SGH-i727 [h=3]HTC[/h]HTC preinstalled Carrier IQ spyware on about 6.3 million Android phones: [B]Sprint[/B] • Snap • Touch Pro 2 • Hero • EVO 4G • EVO Shift 4G • EVO Design [B]T-Mobile[/B] • Amaze 4G [B]AT&T[/B] • Vivid [h=3]What is Carrier IQ?[/h]Carrier IQ logs information about your whereabouts as well as other personal data such as browsing history, application usage and phone numbers. The Carrier IQ application also captures the content of your text messages, according to AT&T. This happens when you are talking on the phone and you sned or receive a text message: "the CIQ software also captured the content of SMS text messages—when and only when—such messages were sent or received while a voice call was in progress."

Way too late. Sprint confirmed to MobileBurn that diagnostic data will no longer be collected across its 26 million devices that were currently being tapped: "We have weighed customer concerns and we have disabled use of the tool so that diagnostic information and data is no longer being collected. We are further evaluating options regarding this diagnostic software as well as Sprint's diagnostic needs." That does, however, leave the future undecided; if Sprint is "evaluating options" regarding Carrier IQ, that means they might flip the switch back on again. Please, please leave the switch off, Sprint. This was not a good look for you. [MobileBurn] [/QUOTE]

I really expected AT&T's list of affected deviced to be quite longer, that list is actually pretty small.

Virgin Mobile isn't on the list Fuck yeah best plans/service ever! 25/mo unlimited data + text w/300 minutes

Phew, iPhone's aren't on the list.

thats right my bold isnt up there bitchezzzzz

God bless my shitty Nokia.

HTC Thunderbolt bitches.

Yay! I can use a samsung galaxy s2 on giffgaff or o2 without being paranoid!

[QUOTE=Aetna;33751345]Phew, iPhone's aren't on the list.[/QUOTE] That's because apple has already said it has removed it from iPhones. iPhones did have it.

No Verizon in that list? Are they just not being questioned, did they not respond, or does Verizon not use CarrierIQ?

Hooray for Blackberries, Touch.

The HTC Evo 3d isn't on that list, although mine appears to have the software installed.

Would it still be on there if I root my EVO?

[QUOTE=furious_d;33751854]Would it still be on there if I root my EVO?[/QUOTE] No, assuming you install a custom ROM.

[QUOTE=furious_d;33751854]Would it still be on there if I root my EVO?[/QUOTE] probably, but it won't be in any custom roms

so if i get a Galaxy i should get it on Virgin, right?

CarrierIQ actually has a fairly decent response reading it right now.

Apple is psychic sometimes. "In a few months everyone is going to find out and hate CarrierIQ, let's take it out now!"

So wait is Verizon clean?

Fuck yeah, Verizon isn't on there.

I don't see motorola or verizon on the list, so I'm safe.

fuck yeah, no samsung captivate on the list time to tell my friends our terror plot is still on, via text message

[QUOTE=TestECull;33752385]I don't see motorola or verizon on the list, so I'm safe.[/QUOTE]Motorola is just a manufacturer, its the decision of the provider as to if CarrierIQ will be preinstalled. If you look in the first two groups, Motorola is in both. The issue is did Verizon not get questioned, did they not respond, or did they not use CarrierIQ?

Lets hope Verizon actually refrains from using ANY rootkit spyware, not just something exactly like CarrierIQ that we haven't found out about yet.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;33752660]Lets hope Verizon actually refrains from using ANY rootkit spyware, not just something exactly like CarrierIQ that we haven't found out about yet.[/QUOTE]Looking at the article again, it appears that Verizon was not questioned, which would be odd considering they are the largest mobile provider in the country. So its either just a bit of bad reporting and they were questioned but did not respond or do not use it, or Al Franken kinda fucked up.

[QUOTE=Source]The largest mobile operator in the U.S. does not install Carrier IQ’s keystroke-sniffing software in any of its phones and doesn’t use the now-controversial company’s data in any way, Verizon Wireless officials said on Thursday. “Any report that Verizon Wireless uses Carrier IQ is patently false,” Verizon Wireless spokesperson Jeffrey Nelson said in an email. In an email follow-up, spokeswoman Debra Lewis elaborated. “We did recently notify customers about new privacy programs; we were transparent about how customer information will be used and gave clear choices to customers about whether they want to participate in these programs,” she said (the privacy policy is here). “Carrier IQ is not involved in these programs.” The recent discovery by Android developer Trevor Eckhart of Carrier IQ’s “rootkit” that tracks every action a user makes on Android phones has raised all kinds of questions about whether operators, handset makers and other wireless industry players are collecting reams of data on their customers. The app runs hidden and constantly at the lowest level of the Android operating system, apparently tracking every input. There seems to be no way of uninstalling or disabling it without installing a different version of Android; something most won’t know how to do. There’s even evidence of Carrier IQ code in the iPhone, though according the chpwn blog it appears to be disabled in newer iOS devices. Earlier, Kevin Tofel wrote about how to detect Carrier IQ on your rooted Android phone. Verizon’s disavowal of the technology is significant because of the sheer volume of Android smartphones in its subscriber base. While T-Mobile USA was the first operator to launch an Android device, Verizon became a heavy backer of the Google platform as it sought to counter AT&T’s initial U.S. monopoly of the iPhone. At the end of the third quarter, Verizon had 33.6 million smartphone subscribers, the large majority of which use Android devices. We queried the other three national operators as well, but are still waiting to hear back from them. We’ll update you as soon as we hear, though. Meanwhile, a Rogers spokesperson posted on Twitter that the Canadian operator did not have Carrier IQ installed on its customer devices. MocoNews reported that U.K. operators Vodafone (one of Verizon Wireless’ parents) and O2 both denied collecting any customer info with Carrier IQ, while both Nokia and Google said that did not use Carrier IQ’s software on any of their phones (which in Google’s case means Nexus devices; not all Android phones).[/quote] [url]http://gigaom.com/2011/12/01/verizon-no-carrieriq-no-way/[/url]

Aw yeah T-Mobile SII.

Sweet not my vibrant<3

Welp, google nexus s 4g is not on there :D

[quote]HTC HTC preinstalled Carrier IQ spyware on about 6.3 million Android phones:[/quote] Way to be fucking vague. Did the G1 get molested as well or not?
