Step 2: Ask if the Evo 3D shipped with CarrierIQ/IQAgent installed?
Step 3: COFFEE!!!!!

Everyone ranted about this on the Epic, yet no one could come to terms with what it actually does. I've seen no difference in performance, battery life or benchmarks (for those with epeens).

In theory it can track pretty much everything your phone does, in reality no one can prove it can or does without being hooked to a diagnostic system.

I highly doubt it can track anything that google can't track, or doesn't already.

Respectively.. The biggest increase in performance and battery life on the epic imo was the removal of CIQ. It was in everything from the framework to the dialer. Maybe it was just a placebo effect.
Eitherway, I don't see the CIQ framework in our 3d's

well, we should def make sure about it though. HTC is a bit more, closed off than the epic was, so im assuming it will be harder to actually find this CIQ. also, it was the best performance boost for the EPIC.

It actually can track much more than google can track and yes, it is installed in the E3D. Sprint decided to get sneaky and hide it well in the E3D after customers started complaining about its potential for abuse.

After 4 months of communications with Sprint they could not deny the full capabilities of CarrierIQ as installed on their phones but stated they only use it for metrics collection. Yeah, its superspyware but they "promise" to not use it for anything other than network metrics collection.
