[Q] carrier iq

is carrier iq on the nexus s also, will it be on the nexus s 4g coming out on sprint?

the SNS coming out for Sprint will be different than the current SNS, as it will come with the 4G radio instead of 3G

I don't really know what carrier iq is unless you mean Sprint ID which the GSM SNS does not have. I have not heard of the CDMA SNS having Sprint ID.

Oh I see now! I didn't see the post in there:
Put simply - and bluntly - Carrier IQ is a software package buried deep within Android by Samsung at the behest of Sprint. It has been in active use since the time of the Moment, if not before. The company that develops it, also known as Carrier IQ, bills it as "Mobile Service Intelligence". In their own words,
[T]he combination of the MSIP and IQ Insight lets you move seamlessly from broad trend data across many users, through comparative groups down to diagnostic data from individual devices. Now, not only can you identify trends, you have the power to drill down to specific instances, giving you the insight your specialists need to make a difference.
On its own, that description can vary from harmless, to worrying, depending on how you look at it. It's not until one drills deep down into the system and ferrets out every piece of the software that one truly knows what it contains. As some of you might remember, ACS took the first steps toward disabling the Carrier IQ software with the release of SyndicateROM and Xtreme Kernel 1.0. That, however, didn't even scratch the surface.
Carrier IQ's native libraries are plainly visible - libiq_client.so and libiq_service.so in /system/lib. During every boot, this service is launched - you can see it in Settings > Applications > Running Services as "IQAgent Service". These native libraries are called by non-native (Android application) libraries located in ext.jar (the client) and framework.jar (the service). Removal of these (rather obviously-named) libraries alone, be it the .so files or the libraries in framework or ext, will, obviously, break boot. So I - k0nane - had to dig deeper. To make a long story short, reference to the IQ Service and IQ Client were littered across the deepest portions of the framework, and some of the most basic functions of the Android system as we know it.
Carrier IQ as a platform is designed to collect "metrics" at any scale. What I found it to hook into is far beyond the scope of anything a carrier needs - or should want - to be collecting. Carrier IQ sits in the middle of, and "checks" the data of, SMS and MMS messages. It listens for and receives every battery change notifications. It hooks into every web page you view, and every XML file your device reads. It receives every press of the touch screen. It 'sees' what you type on the physical keyboard. It reads every number you press in the dialer. It can track which applications you use, what 'type' they are, how often, and for how long. It hooks into data sent and received.
I, and the rest of ACS, ask Samsung and Sprint - why do you want this information? Why do you need it? Why is the capability in place?
The only saving grace - if there is one - to this nasty, ten-legged mutant spider is that its logs are off by default. During the investigation process, I was able to enter its UI. Below are two screenshots of it.

[INFO REQ] Details on CIQ from DEV's

By now anyone who has an Android phone has heard about CarrierIQ, CIQ or IQAgent. Business Wire in London announced on June 8th:
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carrier IQ, today announced availability of a new Application Analytics module that will enable mobile operators and device manufacturers to monitor application performance and usage across multiple mobile device platforms, including tablet devices. Carrier IQ’s technology provides mobile network operators and device manufacturers with invaluable insights into the performance of various devices and networks from the user’s perspective. Carrier IQ’s solution is deployed on over 150 million mobile devices including smartphones, feature phones, data cards, radio-equipped devices, downloadable agents and now tablet devices.

For the few who may be scratching their heads wondering what CarrierIQ is...
Steve Topletz, a member of an international group of hackers, human rights workers, lawyers and artists that fights internet censorship and promotes the right to privacy has described it as follows:
Carrier IQ as a platform is designed to collect "metrics" at any
scale. What I found it to hook into is far beyond the scope of
anything a carrier needs - or should want - to be collecting.
Carrier IQ sits in the middle of, and "checks" the data of, SMS and

Information on CarrierIQ can also be found in the ACS SFR Epic4G ROM discussion thread and a thread I started requesting information from Epic4G Dev's here.
References to CIQ have been found deeply embedded Epic4G
Code:
Provided by chris41g
to be effectively removed you only need to remove it from 4 files. it is referenced elsewhere scattered throughout... but the four main files are
DialerTabActivity.apk
ext.jar
framework.jar
services.jar
then in the kernels initramfs, you have to disable the service in the init.rc
Provided by mkasick
Here's all the files that reference "CIQ", "carrieriq", or "libiq" with instances unrelated to Carrier IQ removed:
/ (initramfs):
- init: /dev/ttyCIQ0 UART, presumably to communicate with radio.
- init.rc: Start iqmsd service if property:service.iq.active=1.
- lib/modules/dpram.ko: Implements ttyCIQ UARTs.
/system:
- app/DialerTabActivity.odex
- app/FactoryTest.odex
- bin/iqmsd
- framework/ext.odex
- framework/framework.odex
- framework/sec_feature.odex
- framework/services.odex
- lib/libiq_client.so
- lib/libiq_service.so
Of these, bin/iqmsd is a purpose-unknown daemon, and libiq_client.so & libiq_service.so the client & service native code. The client & service managed code is implemented in framework/ext.odex & framework/framework.odex respectively.
In addition, the following framework classes reference Carrier IQ in some fashion:
framework/ext.odex:
- org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector
framework.framework.odex:
- android.inputmethodservice.InputMethodService
- android.net.http.Request
- android.webkit.{BrowserFrame,CallbackProxy,LoadLis tener,WebViewCore}
- com.android.internal.telephony.SMSDispatcher
framework.services.odex:
- com.android.server.BatteryService
- com.android.server.WindowManagerService
- com.android.server.am.UsageStatsService
Finally, libiq_service.so is used exclusively by framework/framework.odex (com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient), and libiq_client.so is used by:
- bin/iqmsd
- framework/ext.odex (com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService)
- lib/libopencore_player.so
Makes you wonder what might be in the closed source.
The Android platform, like Linux, is based on openness. I am calling on all Android developers, programmers, hackers and users to band together as a community and come forward with any information you may have on CarrierIQ.
I am asking all those with the knowledge and resources to delve deeper into this issue to please do so and help spread the truth.
For anyone who wishes to contribute confidentially and anonymously please email:
CIQINVESTIGATION @ VERIZON dot NET

Below are some of the most recent statements made by Sprint in response to questions concerning CarrierIQ:
“The software that is in the Android phones is supplied by Google themselves as well as the manufacturer. We (Sprint) has no control over the actual operating system supplied to us such as the Carrier IQ as it is indigenous to the Android platform.”
“Removing the Carrier IQ software from your Samsung Epic device can void your manufacturer warranty.”
“I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me today. I understand your concerns about the Carrier IQ software and how it can access personal information on the device. As discussed on our call, we are committed to protecting our customers personal information.”

My questions were directed towards Sprint about CarrieriIQ and the Samsung Galaxy S Epic4G because that is my service and phone. I would love to hear from others on their experiences when questioning their carriers about CarrierIQ on Android phones.
I have contacted CarrierIQ, Inc., Google and Samsung Mobile US requesting comment on the above statements and other direct questions.
I have a quote from a telephone conversation with Samsung technical support that I am hoping to be able to release soon. After receiving the statement in response to a question about CarrierIQ I sought legal advice and was advised to give Samsung Mobile US's PR company, Edelman PR, the opportunity to comment on it prior to making it public.

I received a response yesterday to my questions about the capabilities of CIQ from a group that has disassembled IQAgent & CarrierIQ.
We have actually disassembled IQAgent/carrierIQ and captured its behavior to find exactly what it is sending back to sprint on the samsung optimus phone. The information we found it to collect was basic, such as cell towers, signal strengths, device battery. Nothing alarming on that phone, but Sprint could send a remote update to enable the surveillance features without the owner being aware.
Now while the above statement is about the Optimus, I was able to confirm through another source that IQAgent & CarrierIQ data collection and transmission capabilities are basically set the same across all Sprint Android offerings. (exception Nexus S)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Lets recap
IQAgent & CarrierIQ run as a backgroud service on boot.
CarrierIQ logging is set to OFF
CarrierIQ is collecting data and transmitting it on the fly without logging it.
The data CarrierIQ is collecting is basic metrics.
The surveillance capabilities of CarrierIQ can be activated through remote update running in the background at any time by Sprint.
hmmmmmm very interesting.

I am actually quite surprised by the apathy of Android users and consumers in general when it comes to privacy and protecting their personal information.
In just a few months this software has gone from 90 Million installations to over 150 Million across multiple smartphones, feature phones, tablets, etc...
Your next phone will most likely have CarrierIQ or a similarly capable software installed on it unless we make our voices heard now.

[Idea] Anti-thef system

Unfortunly I have recently lost one of my beloved gadgets, and after that situation I came up with this idea. I presents you an anti-thef system. I don't have the technical skills to develop it, neither I have the time, that's why I decided to post it here and if you consider this idea viable, may some of you want to involve in this tiny project with me
The idea:
Motivations: Most people don’t think about recovering their gadgets until they lose them. There are plenty of applications in Google Play dedicated to this purpose, however they are useless in most of the circumstances, specially if we attend to the fact that except in some exceptions, these apps don’t survive a factory reset
Idea: I propose to develop a system with wide acceptance among developers which in a transparent way for users allows them to gather information if their gadgets have been lost. This system would activate after downloading an application using this technology. This application would gather information about the gadget (permanent data such serial number of IMEI and volatile data such email address or phone number) and send it to a database usable only by the gadget's owner
Design: The system would have two parts:
An API - This API must be extremely simple and it could be integrated in all the applications in Google Play without efforts. The more wide accepted it is, the more effective the system will be. That’s why in my opinion this should be developed by a community like this in order to achieve a great acceptance quickly
The code will run the first time the application is executed. In that moment it gathers all the required information and it is sent to the database
A Web Service - The web service basically is a data base with two user interfaces - One interface designed to receive the data sent by the application - and another interface designed to return the information of a given gadget identified by its serial number. I have been wondering how to verified the ownership of an user, and I there are several ways, however it's an open discussion subject
Advantages of the system:
It’s totally transparent for the user
It’s a reset-proofing system, because as soon as the “new user” downloads a “marked” application, the database will receive helpful information in order to get the gadget returned to the real owner
It has more chances than the traditional applications to have the “thief” triggering events which runs the code
With a minimum cost we can offer something new to the market
Let’s see an example
A nice guy with a new gadget (let’s say a new phone), he downloads some applications, most of them marked with this system. In this situation the database collect the information of this new phone and indexes it using its serial number.
Few days later this nice guy forget his phone in a plane and the person who finds it forces a factory reset. As soon as the phone downloads one application the database stores the new information. Five minutes later our nice guy connects to the web site and discovers the name and the phone number of the person using his phone. They get in touch and the phone is returned to our nice guy

pls take a look @ ceberusapp.com . hope this is what u looking for.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app

just add an app to /system which want the user to insert a code every 10 minutes when screen is on. after 3 wrong tries device will make wuiuiiiui and run away, hum?
Example: Chuck Norris have a new Phone. He Never Loose it. End.
Example 2: Justin Bieber have a new Phone. He loose it. Haters Destroy it and don't download applications. End.
Example 3: Jader132245324239 has got Xperia arc S and loose it. Jader13254 Find it and reflash Software and remove SIM. Jader1322u45324u239 will not Find it. End.
What Do You Think About?? If The User Wipe the Device & Reflash Software + Removed SIM, there would be no way to remember the Owner..

Cerberus is nice, in fact I use Cerberus on my mobile phone, however it has the problem I mentioned, it depends on the user to install it, and most users won't install anything because they don't even think in losing its mobile.
The system I proposed doesn't depend on the user, it automatically gathers the permanent information (for instance the serial number) and sends it to a database.
The main advantage of this system is that the thief, even after wiping the telephone, will probably download an application and then database will have information about this person.
What do you think?

Not a development thread - moved to General.

Juniper Networks study reveals how dangerous Android is to our privacy

Okay, so, I summed up some 5 articles on this subject - in the hope of starting a discussion about device security. I hope you will find this interesting and meaningful and perhaps you will find out about some of the risks of using Android.
2 months ago Juniper Networks, one of the two biggest network equipment manufactures, published a blog post (1) about an intensive research their mobile threat department had on the Android market place.
In essence they analyzed over 1.7 million apps in Google Play, revealing frightening results and prompting a hard reality check for all of us.
One of the worrying findings is that a significant number of applications contain capabilities that could expose sensitive information to 3rd parties. For example, neither Apple nor Google requires apps to ask permission to access some forms of the device ID, or to send it to outsiders. A Wall Street Journal examination (2) of 101 popular Android (and iPhone) apps found that showed that 56 — that's half — of the apps tested transmitted the phone's unique device ID to other companies without users' awareness or consent. 47 apps — again, almost a half — transmitted the phone's location to other companies.
That means that the apps installed in your phone are 50% likely to clandestinely collect and sell information about you without your knowledge nor your consent. For example when you give permission to an app to see your location, most apps don't disclose if they will pass the location to ad companies.
Moving on to more severe Android vulnerabilities. Many applications perform functions not needed for the apps to work — and they do it under the radar! The lack of transparency about who is collecting information and how it is used is a big problem for us.
Juniper warns, that some apps request permission to clandestinely initiate outgoing calls, send SMS messages and use a device camera. An application that can clandestinely initiate a phone call could be used to silently listen to ambient conversations within hearing distance of a mobile device. I am of course talking about the famous and infamous US Navy PlaceRaider (3).
Thankfully the Navy hasn't released this code but who knows if someone hadn't already jumped on the wagon and started making their own pocket sp?. CIO magazine (4) somewhat reassures us though, that the "highly curated nature of [smartphone] application stores makes it far less likely that such an app would "sneak through" and be available for download."
A summary by The Register (5) of the Juniper Networks audit reads that Juniper discovered that free applications are five times more likely to track user location and a whopping 314 percent more likely to access user address books than paid counterparts. 314%!!!
1 in 40 (2.64%) of free apps request permission to send text messages without notifying users, 5.53 per cent of free apps have permission to access the device camera and 6.4 per cent of free apps have permission to clandestinely initiate background calls. Who knows, someone might just be recording you right now, or submitting your photo to some covert database in Czech Republic — without you even knowing that your personal identity is being compromised.
Google, by the way, is the biggest data recipient — so says The Wall Street Journal. Its AdMob, AdSense, Analytics and DoubleClick units collected data from 40% of the apps they audited. Google's main mobile-ad network is AdMob, which lets advertisers target phone users by location, type of device and "demographic data," including gender or age group.
To quote the The Register on the subjec, the issue of mobile app privacy is not new. However Juniper's research is one of the most comprehensive looks at the state of privacy across the entire Google Android application ecosystem. Don't get me wrong. I love using Google's services and I appreciate the positive effect this company has had over how I live my life. However, with a shady reputation like Google's and with it's troubling attitude towards privacy (Google Maps/Earth, Picasa's nonexistent privacy and the list goes on) I sincerely hope that after reading this you will at least think twice before installing any app.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
Now I am proposing a discussion. Starting with - do we have the possibility to monitor device activity on the phone? By monitoring device activity, such as outgoing SMSs and phone calls in the background, the camera functions and so on we can tell if our phone is being abused under the radar and against our consent. What do you think?
.

I am finding it sad and troubling but even more so ironic that nobody here cares about this stuff.

Pdroid allows you to tailor your apps and what permissions your device actually allows on a per app basis. Requires some setup, and the GUI is nothing fancy.. but for those worried about permissions, it is quite ideal.

Okay, so I looked it up, and Pdroid does look like a fantastic solution to control what apps have access to what information on your droid.
However, it doesn't cover monitoring hardware functions such as texts being sent, calls being placed etc. as described in the OP. Besides, it only works in Gingerbread as far as I could gather.
EDIT: looking at PDroid 2.0, it does exactly what I originally asked

I actually first found out about it on an ics rom, so it's definitely not just gb. As for monitoring, no clue. Any sort of extra process logging would likely bog down resources or space eventually.

I definitely wouldn't know. This solution looks very complicated in first impression but on the Google play page it says 100% no performance effects.
Anyway, I looked up PDroid 2.0 here on XDA, which is the rightful successor of the original app. It does everything the original app does and also monitors many device activities! Here is the full list of features. I would add a working link but I'm still a n00b and I am restricted from doing so. Sigh....
forum.xda-developers com/showthread.php?t=1923576
PDroid 2.0 allows blocking access for any installed application to the following data separately:
Device ID (IMEI/MEID/ESN)
Subscriber ID (IMSI)
SIM serial (ICCID)
Phone and mailbox number
Incoming call number
Outgoing call number
GPS location
Network location
List of accounts (including your google e-mail address)
Account auth tokens
Contacts
Call logs
Calendar
SMS
MMS
Browser bookmarks and history
System logs
SIM info (operator, country)
Network info (operator, country)
IP Tables(until now only for Java process)
Android ID
Call Phone
Send SMS
Send MMS
Record Audio
Access Camera
Force online state (fake online state to permanent online)
Wifi Info
ICC Access (integrated circuit-card access, for reading/writing sms on ICC)
Switch network state (e.g. mobile network)
Switch Wifi State
Start on Boot (prevents that application gets the INTENT_BOOT_COMPLETE Broadcast)

I've always had the luxury of someone else integrating it into the Rom, then I just had to set it up through the app. It is time-consuming, but not very difficult at all. I say give it a shot and see if that's what you had in mind. Maybe the logging is less detrimental than I had previously thought.
I'm sure you could get your post count up by asking for some tips in that thread. Every forum on xda has at least one person that's EXCESSIVELY helpful, frequently more. So have a ball

hackers have got my phone Hijacked I need Help to get rid of them!

For some time now, many years, I have experienced problems with my cellular telephone that I could not explain or rectify. I know I am being hacked and no matter how many times I factory reset the phone the problems still exist. My phone has been lost and stolen in which insurance has replaced the phone and in no time or immediately I experience the exact same problems. My videos and pictures are altered, deleted or hidden. All the programs or applications seem to be altered or customized with options that are not the genuine developer or creator options and images. The graphics associated with the applications and web pages are not the genuine images and I am sure that violates trademark, copyright, intellectual property rights and other laws I am not aware of. Web pages information, contact information, address information, and content are altered and changed which can affect all sorts of areas such as personal safety, product safety, access to information is blocked, altered or displayed in ways that make it impossible to get directions, product availability, law enforcement help, legal help and information. When I use Google Maps for directions, it will take me down one way streets the opposite direction toward oncoming traffic,, have ludicrous directions, unnecessary turns, wrong speed limits, and out right wrong directions or even switch my end point without my knowledge. I tried to order cleaning gloves and masks today, and no store in my city was in stock, and delivery was not until July the 5th, 2020. I am also experiencing the same things with all my electronics such as my computer, smart televisions, printers and gps units. I did a screen recording of the applications on my phone, and the about phone section. I know from that it is apparent that my phone is hacked and under control of some other party or person. Someone is either maliciously attacking me with the purpose to cause extreme harm for reasons of personal enjoyment, or my name, reputation and activities have been purposely misled and lied about in a gross manner where a cellular telephone developer, or a technology hacker, or information pirate or mercenary developed and/or gave someone or some group a program and knowledge on how to capture my phone and all other electronics and hold it hostage. I have tried to root the phone in order to put a custom rom on it, but my searches and efforts are blocked and never get any traction or success. I am attaching the screen capture video- it is 20+ minutes and will show the extent of the hacking. Someone is perverting and illegally using developers tools, programs, applications and code in ways that were never intended and can only lead to extreme problems of which in all honesty death or terminal scenarios are all real possibilities. I am hoping to identify these people with your help, and bring them to justice and alleviate my life problems that this has caused and stop the illegal and intentional perversion of the original intent for cellular development which is the fruitful search for knowledge and advancement of useful and legal technology. Please help me in this battle to which all operations on my device are unsuccessful, disheartening, and uncontrollable. Thank you in advance and if this should be posted in another area or forum please advise, however I am posting it in a few that I think are relevant. I live in Houston, Texas- so if there is a group of developers, or some people that can help me combat this locally please message me their contact information. Take care. - Dale-

Hi shooterd,
Everything is fine with your phone. I've seen both your screenshots and screen recording. What you're seeing under settings/apps list are all the system apps as well as the user apps. Most phones have at least 300+ system apps to keep it running. Granted most of them are bloatware and crap which is why there are threads with "how to debloat your phone." I'm going to go over some of system apps that you've scrolled through and tried to disabled.
Adapt Sound is found under settings/sounds, it's sort of an equalizer for all the audio on your phone.
Android Easter Egg is a built in mini-game that Google included with every system. You can do a quick search to figure out how to activate it. Most times, you go to Settings/About Phone and tap the "Android Version" block rapidly until the game loads.
ANT Radio Services are bloatware/crap.
Application Installer installs apk that you want to sideload or apps from Play Store.
CaptivePortalLogin handles the "Sign in as a guest" when you join open wifi networks such as those in cafes or hospitals.
ChocoEUKor (along with a few others, they share the same icon) is part of the stupid font bundle from Samsung.
Again a lot of these are necessary for your phone to run and is completely normal. The other 100 are removable bloatware which you can find a list of by doing a web search. It would be easier if you root your phone and then use Titanium Backup to debloat.
"My videos and pictures are altered, deleted or hidden."
You haven't shown any proof of this but if you keep reseting your phone, you'll lose internal storage data which might be what happened.
"All the programs or applications seem to be altered or customized with options that are not the genuine developer or creator options and images."
They all look fine to me, if the icons are weird, it could be your Android version or home launcher theme. I use Nova Launcher so if I go to Settings/Look & Feel, it gives you options for the icon theme including round, squircle (which is what yours currently is), rounded square, flower, adapative, legacy, etc...
"When I use Google Maps for directions, it will take me down one way streets the opposite direction toward oncoming traffic, have ludicrous directions, unnecessary turns, wrong speed limits, and out right wrong directions or even switch my end point without my knowledge. "
This is either bad GPS or bad Google Maps data. Try Waze. Although it's own by Google, it has better routes in my experience. It also sounds like you're dealing with some cognitive impairment*
"I tried to order cleaning gloves and masks today, and no store in my city was in stock, and delivery was not until July the 5th, 2020."
Short supplies, I remember it being the case everywhere. I couldn't order hand soap for two months.
"I am also experiencing the same things with all my electronics such as my computer, smart televisions, printers and gps units."
Where? How? You haven't shown any proof.
"I have tried to root the phone in order to put a custom rom on it, but my searches and efforts are blocked and never get any traction or success."
It's hard in general. And if you've updated your phone pass whatever ****ty unprotected bootloader version is necessary to root your phone, it will be impossible to root your phone. This may be the case based on your Software Information section. Check the thread requirements and make sure your phone meets those.
*I've mentioned cognitive impairment early because you sound paranoid. Are you experiencing a lot of stress, trouble sleeping, etc? And this may be odd but do you have a lot of bug bites? Bed bags are known to cause paranoia. Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear but your phone is perfectly fine.
To protect your privacy, you should probably take down your screen recording. And if you need to talk, I'll check here more frequently for the next couple days. Good luck.
