   There is an *easy* way to tell, on Android because there is a free app   
   which will tell you if you have it or not on your system.   
      
   I used this app, which said Carrier IQ existed at some point:   
   CarrierIQ Scanner & Protection by Lookout Labs   
   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.carrieriqdetector   
      
   A search shows other apps exist:   
   Bitdefender Carrier IQ Finder, by Bitdefender   
   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitdefender.ciqfinder   
      
   Carrier IQ Scanner by Trend Micro   
   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trendmicro.mob   
   lelab.securetool.ciq   
      
   Carrier IQ Red Pill by Sense8   
   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.sense8.android.ciqRedPill   
      
   I stopped there as that's enough, since all the program does is give a   
   yes/no answer.   
      
   It would be interesting to see how many folks have carrier IQ running.   
   And, to the point of this thread, how many of you disable it like I did.
