    Carrier IQ on VM Phones

    Voodoo Carrier IQ detector by supercurio - Project Voodoo
    Carrier IQ Detector by Lookout Labs

    Video

    TEST RESULTS USING VOODOO:
    Samsung Intercept (old, unactivated): "Carrier IQ elements found - however it seems inactive"
    LG Optimus V (old 2.2.1, unactivated): "Carrier IQ was not found"
    Motorola Triumph (activated): "Carrier IQ was not found"

    TEST RESULTS USING LOOKOUT DETECTOR:
    Samsung Intercept (old, unactivated): "Your device does have Carrier IQ"
    LG Optimus V (old 2.2.1, unactivated): "Your device does not have Carrier IQ"
    Motorola Triumph (activated): "Your device does not have Carrier IQ"

    I have no other VM android devices to test

    Carrier IQ is just the name of one app/program that does all the things people are paranoid about. There is more than one program that does these things and they vary carrier to carrier and also by manufacturer and device. Just because an app designed to look for specific elements of Carrier IQ says they aren't there doesn't mean there couldn't be a similar software running on the device.
