What is Carrier IQ?
Carrier IQ logs information about your whereabouts as well as other personal data such as browsing history, application usage and phone numbers.
The Carrier IQ application also captures the content of your text messages, according to ATT. This happens when you are talking on the phone and you sned or receive a text message: “the CIQ software also captured the content of SMS text messages—when and only when—such messages were sent or received while a voice call was in progress.” [US Senator Al Franken’s response, ATT Response (PDF), Sprint Response (PDF), Samsung Response (PDF), HTC Response (PDF), CarrierIQ response (PDF), via Verge and Business Week]
