Wow. That leaves Windows Phone and Bada as the only mobile OSes where no Carrier IQ references have been found so far.

- cryptoz 15y agoKind of. It's not been found in the actual Android operating system, has it? Only in carrier- or manufacturer-modified versions correct?
- shareme 15y agocorrect, which means that the Carrier, AT&T originally made it part of its deal with Apple..
- magic_haze 15y agoAnd most probably, Microsoft as well: there has been no evidence to the contrary yet.
- Athtar 15y agoGiven that carriers are only limited to 5 apps and can't make any changes to the Windows Phone OS, I would doubt that there are any Windows Phone devices with Carrier IQ.
- cryptoz 15y agoI thought carriers were limited to 0 apps and couldn't make changes to iOS. However, that appears to be completely incorrect. Windows Phone may be safe or it may not be. But the argument that carriers couldn't touch WP7 doesn't hold any water given what seems to be happening with iOS.
- Synaesthesia 15y ago>But the argument that carriers couldn't touch WP7 doesn't hold any water given what seems to be happening with iOS. That argument was exploded in the whole WP7 update catastrophe earlier this year. Carriers blocked the WP7 updates.
- runjake 15y agoIt has been confirmed by several knowledgeable people that the CIQ rootkit doesn't seem to be installed on any Nexus devices as shipped.
