More information about Carrier IQ:

Although Carrier IQ is supposed to help measure performance and user experience, it doesn't come with any options for you. The company has recently been criticized by security researchers and privacy advocates not only for data collection but also for lack of clarity in its use. In the US, equipment suppliers such as Sprint, HTC, Samsung, Nokia and RIM are known to be partners with carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile that have acknowledged using Carrier IQ.

Removing Carrier IQ:

Carrier IQ Detector will not remove Carrier IQ software that has been deeply embedded into the device's firmware. It works purely as a detector. Completely eliminating Carrier IQ requires access to special rights and certain knowledge. The side effect of self-failure will affect security and will not be able to receive future firmware updates. In case you are uncomfortable adjusting your device, the best thing you can do is contact your network provider, whether or not they use Carrier IQ.
