Determine whether or not your phone contains Carrier IQ mobile diagnostic software.

Security researchers have recently determined that a number of consumer mobile devices contain pre-installed software from Carrier IQ. While this software appears to be designed to help mobile network operators improve coverage through metrics tracking, it does not provide a clear opt-out path for users. Additionally, it can be difficult for non-technical users to determine whether or not their handset is affected. We've developed the Carrier IQ Detector to aid in this process in an effort to keep mobile users fully informed about what their phone is doing.

Removal

This application does not remove Carrier IQ software from your device. Because Carrier IQ software is deeply integrated with handset firmware, users would be required to attain special device privileges in order to remove it. Side effects of this process have the potential to put users at further risk of malware infection while making devices ineligible to receive firmware updates in the future. If you are sure you know what you are doing and would like to remove Carrier IQ software from your phone, there are a number of guides available online.

If you have made previous attempts to remove Carrier IQ software from your device, our Detector may still report its presence. This can be caused by incomplete removal attempts that do not remove all relevant files.

Permissions

Both of the permissions are only used if you choose to share your results with us. CM users may revoke both permissions and the app will still function.

    After doing a quick search, saw what the fuss was about. A quick install of the software confirmed my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) doesn't have the Carrier IQ installed. Deleted the app and just reinstalled again to rate and let everyone know.
