Best bet is to install a rom with that stuff cleared out, like scrosler's CleanROM along with freeza's kernel that breaks the links for that stuff as well.
If people made Onstar back down from tracking, why not a massive complaint to HTC? Why put up with it on the phone? What is it about phones and some users?
The things I've seen say thunderbolt sensation and possibly more. Anyone seen a list of the "more"?
I'm wondering about evo 4g and inspire. I've got a few people to tell about this if so, if not I don't want to bother them with the article. I have cm7 on my inspire so I can't look.
edit: found a couple things that say yes the e4g does have it.
If the Evo 4G or Inspire have gotten an update in the last 3 months, I'd do a check for HTCLoggers.apk in the /system/app directory. But just removing that one APK does not make it so the logging is disabled.
You can check for this easily by dialing *#*#482564#*#* if you have it, a control screen will pop up. Thankfully didn't see it on my DInc2 with 2.3.3. If somebody with 2.3.4 could confirm on if they have it or not, it would certainly give me a reason to root to block it. I was leaning towards not rooting, but this would certainly be a good reason too.
If you want to make sure, you can go into /data/data/com.htc.loggers and open those subfolders. Some will contain files that you can view as text. There will be a bit of encrypted characters as well as some oriental characters (that I can only assume is Taiwanese), but lower in the files, they'll actually say if they've been logging or not.
If they are, I'd recommend you deny read and write privileges to the folder and files.

At least they're owning up to it. Although that crap shouldn't even be there in the first place. As someone who's watch tech evolve so rapidly over the past two decades I must say I definitely do not like the direction it's going...
