Recent “Security Update” For HTC EVO 3D Removes Carrier IQ

It looks like there’s more to the “security update” feature of the the recent HTC EVO 3D update than we previously thought. There is no longer Carrier IQ according to reports from users. Owners of the device who recently received the update confirmed this by checking in the Manage Applications tab have noticed that “HTC IQAgent” and “IQRD”— both of which were Carrier IQ-related apps– are no longer present on the device after the update.

This development shouldn’t be too surprising considering Sprint announced they would stop using Carrier IQ’s services. The real question now is how many more of Sprint’s devices will see the removal of Carrier IQ with additional updates.
