This is a naive app that tells if your phone seems to host CarrierIQ elements ornot. CarrierIQ is a diagnostics tool that comes embedded in the firmware of
some Android phones.
Some malware scanners are falsely reporting this as the AndroidOS/Qicsomos.A
trojan. That trojan requires the android.permission.SEND_SMS permission, this
app does not, so it cannot send SMS messages.
Anti-Features: NoSourceSince: Upstream source for this app is no longer available. Either the app went commercial, the repo was dropped, or it has moved to a location currently unknown to us. This usual means there won't be further updates unless the source reappears.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
