Is Carrier IQ on your Android phone?

I read an article today about an app that is on xda developer that checks to see if your Android device has Carrier IQ installed on it.  The app is called Logging Test App and can be downloaded at this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17612559

I installed it on my phone and it came up showing that I didn’t have Carrier IQ on my phone.  So I wondered around the office and installed it on other peoples phones and ran the app.  It came up with positive results a Samsung phone from Sprint that a co-worked had, so we went and tried to delete it out.  Well we got it accomplished but his phone didn’t work after that.  However he had clockwork mod installed so we just recovered back to a previous backup.  All in all this app tells you if you have it installed and can point you in the right direction to getting rid of it.  So check out the app by TrevE on XDA Developers.

Here are all the feature of this app:

Loggers/Services:

Ports & Agents:

Internet Security:

Good hunting.
