App to See if Your Phone Has Carrier IQ - No Root Required

[Airmaxx23]

Lookout came out with an APP to determine if your phone has Carrier IQ installed on it. For more info on Carrier IQ check out THIS article. Basically it's a program that logs everything you do on your phone, including every keystroke, and then sends the info out.

Voodoo Simple Carrier IQ Detector is also very good.

I posted a link to the Voodoo app yesterday but the description says that it is not complete and cannot be blindly trusted.

Voodoo has already had 2-3 updates since release. It's by a guy from xda. I'd trust it at least as much as anything from Lookout. Very possible neither one is 100% trustworthy yet.

Very true, TrevE (the guy who found the Carrier IQ stuff) from XDA also has an app but it only works on rooted phones.

What is his app? I would imagine that since Trevor found it then his app would be the most accurate??? Right?

You have to download it through XDA, I'll find it and post a link.

Edit: HERE is a link to the post on the XDA forums with the app. Below is the QR code from the link so you can download the app directly to your phone.
