[Q] Carrier IQ on Galaxy Note?

---

Has anybody done any digging to see if Carrier IQ is found on the Galaxy Note? I'm heading to Hong Kong in a week and am thinking of picking up a Note. Since there are no AOSP based roms out yet, I'll be stuck with stock which I fear may have Carrier IQ installed.

It's not on my unlocked phone.
You can get the logging test app here to check.

I think Carrier IQ is mostly a phenomenon in the US..

As far as I can tell there is no Carrier IQ on my note. Both on stock and (of course) on modified ROMs.

Not sure who's guilty for that (whenever present), operators or makers.

But did anyone read the agreement when you sign in with a Samsung account to get updates? It says something about monitoring websites and othef activity to improve your experience! So maybe not carrier IQ but Samsung is probably doing their own thing. I bought the simfree EU version.

I have no doubt Samsung is monitoring certain things via elements baked into touchwiz. This I have less of an issue with since they're the manufacturer assuming it's not keylogging. Ideally, AOSP based roms shows up with full support for the S-PEN.

The Gnote is fantastic in every way but I might hold off for a few months until AOSP based roms like CM9 show up. I may have to settle for a SGS2 for a bit with it's abundance in roms. I'll just say, I hope you guys are enjoying your Gnote!
