Developer Trevor Eckhart, the same person who discovered the curious software himself, developed “Logging Checker†an app that will allow you to check if your handset is bugged and if so remove it.
Logging Checker checks the logging activity on your phone and lets you know where the logging data is going to be. Besides checking Carrier IQ logs, it can look for Google and HTC Usage logs, Dropbox logs etc. while allowing you to check app usage logs in a UI as well as giving you some pretty strong internet security features (like enabling HTTPS wherever possible and more).
This app has started to turn into a full security suite. It can be used to verify what logging is being done on your phone and where data is going to. It will assist you in manually removing parts you do not running (see post#1), or you can go pro for automatic everything (and support me).
There are two versions of the app available; a free and paid. The paid version not only checks for CIQ activity, but also removes it. To get it, you `ll need to install the free version first and then purchase the pro key from the Android market for $0.99
The app can be download in the form of an APK from HERE. But before installing, please ensure that your phone is rooted and that Unknown sources is enabled from Settings > Applications.
- This app Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector has been released to the Android Market that doesn’t require root access.
