   This thread is about recognizing and disabling *carrier diagnostics*   
   reporting, and as such, it applies to both Apple & Google based phones.   
      
   While CIQ first appeared in iOS 3.1.3, you have already said that *all*   
   carriers perform the diagnostics, and presumably you meant on all platforms   
   today, including both iOS & Android.   
      
   I have shown that T-Mobile uses specific software which, luckily, can be   
   easily turned off, if you know how to turn it off.   
      
   CIQ (which is now owned by AT&T) is only *one* of the software packages   
   that Apple and the carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, and SPrint - but not Verizon)   
   used.   
      
   It seems, based on what Savageduck wrote, all it takes to disable *Apple*   
   diagnostics is to jump into Settings/About/Diagnostics & Usage, and change   
   the setting to ´Donÿt send.¡   
      
   But what about the *carrier* diagnostics? (e.g., T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T,   
   etc.)
