I have read that most of the custom ROM's on this forum removed the HTC "snooping" software, but now the news is reporting an equally invasive (potentially) issue with something called CarrierIQ. For those who dont know it basically logs every keystroke, website, duration of call, location, etc. and sends it to your carrier for "analysis". A pretty shocking video is at the link for those who are interested. So my question is, does running a custom ROM prevent my carrier from getting all this information?

I believe AOSP/source does not have CarrierIQ, and neither does CyanogenMod.
There is no Carrier IQ on the HTC Sensation at T-Mobile US.

Multiple people have searched, and could not find it.
However, HTC has their own snooping software that you can opt out of, I don't think it does key logging though.
Thanks for the info on T-Mo Sensation!
Worth a read http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397128,00.asp
So is Carrier-IQ mainly a US thing, or do European handsets have this too? Another thing, if you buy a SIM free (non carrier linked phone), then presumably there shouldn't be any Carrier-IQ software on the phone, at least not from a network carrier.

If I have done my research correctly, all carriers use the IQ software on their devices. But I know for sure that the US carrier companies are the main ones that use IQ with thier devices. The reason you can not find it on HTC devices as mentioned in the articles, threads, blogs, and TrevE's website is because of of HTC Sense. Sense is so intergrated I.to the Andriod OS that even the settings are somewhat different than a pure Android device like the Nexus line of devices. But beleive me, IQ is there running in the background collecting information and sending it to the IQ website.
YAs for the question pissed in the OP, yes any true AOSP ROM like Cyanogen Mod ROMs, MIUI ROMs, or any ROM based off of them does not have any IQ in them, it is even not in the kernel as long as it is a true AOSP kernel.

Ok, so you are saying the Tmo USA Sensation does come with CarrierIQ? I just want to get a definitive answer on this! For what its worth, I am running a CM7 based ROM so I suspect I am ok, but its the others who are running a stock Sensation that I am concerned about.
UPDATE! Tmobile USA has just confirmed that they DO use CarrierIQ on their phones. The below link includes an internal screenshot that shows customer service how to respond to inquiries from customers about it. Interestingly, Tmobile also allows business accounts to remove CarrierIQ from their phones if they call in but consumer customers are out of luck.

I work for Tmo. There are only about 9 devices that have ciq on T-Mobile. The Sensation is NOT one of them. Now if you have some kind of ROM ported from the Amaze, that's another story.

I hope in not posting in the wrong part of this forum but I was freaked out today at the tmobile store. It all starts last night when I goggle map searched "bar and grill" and later searched on browser "screen names" looking for screen name ideas. So, this morning my wife and I go to tmobile to pay our bill. The clerk in an attempt to talk to my wife says "so did you find a good screen name last night? " She had no idea what he was talking about. Then he asks "how was the bar and grill? " I was immediately angry. I know there was recent proof carriers collect our data, but not only does tmobile collect logs of most things we do on our phones, the make it available to any ass working in a tmobile store! I would v believed it was that bad without seeing it for myself. I told him to give me a print out of that info he was reading but he refused. So now I'm on an AOSP BUILD. The rom I was using before was weapon btw. Why is spyware in custom roms? Does anyone work at tmobile that can confirm this? Are AOSP builds the only way to combat this? I can't believe any asshole at a tmobile store can just punch in a number and see everything we do on our phones!

Did your rep had your phone? Cause if he did, he could have been going through the search history. Either way he shouldn't be going through them.
Dang, that's real bs. I would definately seek legal action.
Well, I would assume all carriers log all data accessed (via mobile data connection at least) to supply to the gov't for profiling and legal purposes. But allowing Joe Schmoe at the store access to it is definitely a violation of your privacy. The contract probably allows them to monitor your activity but that's a bit of an overshare if you ask me.
Well you can always get check and or get rid of the Carrier IQ thing that tracks your information.
You need a rooted phone to do so and then go here to download the app because it is not on the android market.

This story is BS. Store employees do not have access to that kind of data. Almost no one within T-Mobile could get anywhere near that kind of data even if they did record any of it. Also, none of the official G2x firmwares carry CIQ.

Regular Sales Reps or even Mgrs shouldn't have any access to that kind of information. None of the systems they use can dig that deep. They can see details about minutes, texts and your bill items, etc. but thats about the extent of it. Especially through CAM, Watson or Quickview. Although I would be surprised if the network engineers couldn't get that data if they were high up enough. The carrier iq thing isn't much of a surprise to me.
Weapon is based on the stock 2.3.3 rom so the OP is plausible, not probable, but certainly not busted. It has just been enhanced but most of it is stock TMO rom.
But I do think the OP is pure BS. That type of data would not be available at the store level and an employee who revealed such info would be subject to immediate termination.

No firmware for the G2x has CIQ within.
Full article from Android and Me
HTC has delivered a ROM to us however it is still having issues the reason that other sensation types have the update without issue and ours did not come out that way is because every ROM must be adapted to the hardware of the device because we use a different radio than other providers and also have applications such as wifi calling it also has to be compatible with those. What the HTC rep told you is most likely correct because once a ROM is delivered we have 2 weeks to test it and then approve it or send it back they then have 4 weeks to fix the bugs and return it back to us, where we are exactly in that process I do not know but that is how a ROM is delivered to the customer.
The original ROM was not delivered to us in November, we started testing it just recently but I think it has been longer than 2 weeks so at this point HTC most likely has the ball.
You bought a phone and it has been announced that you are getting ICS you have every right to know what’s going on with it and when you can see these awesome features. I did go into a lot of detail about how a ROM gets to the end user (you guys) but that wasn’t to point fingers only so you would have a better understanding of why you don’t have it yet, the bottom line is the Sensation has T-Mobile’s and HTC’s name all over it and both companies want to make you proud to be a Sensation owner so we are working as fast as we can to deliver it but also want to make sure that it stands up to your expectations.

It seems that HTC can't get the Wifi calling to work within spec. It didn't work the first time and TMO told HTC that they needed to work on it some more. It's going back and forth between TMO and HTC.
And no offense to our devs here, but lets be realistic. Our roms here aren't without their issues. Ie. wifi calling still crashing, mms not working, proximity sensor issues, wifi issues, bt issues, etc. but the positive is that the roms here get better than their respective base.

I don't think it's fair that the devs don't have access to the same resources that tmo and htc have either. If they did we would probably also have perfect 'native' ports of Samsung's, Sony's, and Moto's UIs, lol. it is what it is. the devs have improved on what's been released (although, I would like to see a rom that emphasizes stability instead of tweaks - Maybe I'll take a crack at it if I can find enough time, we'll see).
As far as free help is concerned... I don't know how much work they actually take off XDA (although, i'm sure it's happened, i feel like it's little). The X10 (in which I had a little previous experience) had a number of things fixed that's never (and never will be) fixed in any official rom.
but the original point was to contradict this statement: "our custom ROM chefs don't seem to have a problem" and "So T-Mobile can't get their WiFi Calling and ...". There are issues and it's not just TMO but HTC can't fix wifi calling in a timely manner. Just trying to dispel inaccuracies (IMHO).
I would rather have a clean ROM straight from HTC without T-Mobile adding junk to it anyway, including WiFi calling...
Well what it is that tmobl locked the phone up so it can't use att making HTC redo there **** its out everywhere but here in us
Looks like a corp had a hand trying to block the progress of something with hardware changes and bloatware I would love a Rom from HRC or google with out tmob trash but I am not on tmob now so I have no bloat lol

Speak for yourself, my friend.
I'm using bluetooth, video recording, wifi, wifi calling, all cell radio features, proximity working find, light sensor as well.
I don't mms. I gmail.
So. The devs and chefs are doing a FANTASTIC job, especially with these kernels.
Just like i tell everyone in every single rom forum for the sensation. T-Mobile's Wifi calling is just useless bloatware that is a program easy as hell for, supposed amazing techs of their caliber to make and now we have to wait for official Ics due to an app that don't work stock or rooted. Everytime i use wifi calling, and yes on stock, all i get is" HUH,WHAT DID YOU SAY, I CANT HEAR YOU",. And thats why it also rarely works in roms. It's not HTC's fault T-Mobile has a shi%$ program that is useless out the box. Wouldn't be useless if it ever worked. And now we have to wait for Ics because of it.

^ Likewise I depend on wifi calling. I'll pass on the other bloatware, but this isn't an optional app for me. I'm afraid that I've had no consistent luck with the ROMs available here.
I suspect that will change once T-Mobile has released their ICS update with a working configuration and (possibly) an updated app. In the meantime, I am content to wait.
It's based on my opinion.**
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
WiFi calling is not bloatware to people who use it. I use it everyday at home. There's no way I can make or receive call without it. I also use it every time I'm overseas. For me, WiFi calling is a must. That's why I don't dare play around different roms for fear of messing up the WiFi calling feature. I can also wait for the official update with a working WiFi calling.
I'm rolling with a Nexus S right now, and just discovered and started using Google Wallet. I know that the One X(L) has the NFC chip, but can anyone confirm that it is compatible with Google Wallet? It's not a deal-breaker, but it is up there on my list of features that I'd rather not do without.
I thought wallet is only available on sprint/ unlocked nexus phones.
Depends on Carrier. AT&T wont allow it because its putting all of its resources into Isis.
Seems to work on the nexus s that I have on at&t, although I have not tested it by tapping the phone yet. The software installed and I was able to set it up though.
AT&T might not support it, but we will find a way to put it on

Lol makes perfect sense to me since I don't use at&t. Especially since at&t will unlock your phone with a 10 minute phone call to their customer service.
Also will us prepaid users even be able to use Isis? Probably not, so will get screwed.
How are they going to make sim unlocking illegal? Jail breaking is already perfectly legal and you can even clone your phone as long as you own both devices and pay for your service.

That is not something that anybody has been able to duplicate. You can simply use Google Hangouts but unfortunately it will be with another number. THe N6 is supposed to have it with an update sometime next year. I read that somewhere.
Remember that is a stock T-Mobile function
It wont happen. Unless T-Mobile puts out a wifi calling app to the play store. In the Nexus 4 forum there was a bounty of like $3,000 to get it working and they never did. I've read that Lollipop has made it easier to implement so hopefully an app gets released in the future.
Yes I know that it's a stocked function on T-Mobile phones. Many stock functions have been ported, reconfigured, tricked and used on other phones. This is XDA all we need is someone with the "know-how". I'm pretty sure its not a hardware issue therefore it is fair game. I seen a thread were we can configure more base bands to get more signals!!! This definitely falls in that genre of work.

I seen a thread were we can configure more base bands to get more signals!!! This definitely falls in that genre of work.

If it were that easy it would of been done a long time ago. The issue was T-Mobile had no AOSP phones with wifi calling already in it. This was more than like the issue with porting it over. But now when the N6 gets wifi calling or wifi unleashed as it called we should then see some port attempts
