Nice. Just one more reason for me to keep my Razr2 V9m.

I keep my GPS turned off when I'm not explicitly using it. This makes me wonder if it is really turned off.

My PHONE is turned off unless I actually need it. The location functions are also disabled as well.

The only way to turn you phone "entirely off" is to remove the battery.
Otherwise it is still running on firmware in a reduced operational state.
That power button is a soft multifunction button that is controlled by the software.
On my Android phone a short push turns off the display. A long push brings up the shutdown menu.
The bottom line is that it functions in a manner similar to wake-on-lan.
It is relatively easy to remotely turn on a cell phone undetected by the user.
It is similar to a magic packet used to turn on a PC that is shut down.

My phone is not a smart phone. When I turn it off, it is off.

That's only Al Franken, grandstanding for a headline. Usual state of affairs over here, they'd rather bloviate about this than solve the budget mess they created. If the government ever were to get involved, they'd muck it up as badly as the internet censorship bill being talked about now.
Here's another view on the CarrierIQ situation...

You can also visit xda-developers.com for up to the minute information on CIQ. It is my favorite site for cell phone/android information.

There is no such thing as overkill. 'Open fire' and 'is it dead?' are the only sane options when threatened.

I'll look at the GPS services and code again to be sure. It's time to start thinking about ice Cream Sandwich anyway.
I'm running customized, recompiled and reflashed Gingerbread code on my Galaxy S.
I know I don't have CIQ software, but I don't trust Google application software that is installed.
