HTC EVO 3D: poof, no more Carrier IQ software

It’s been exactly a month since we received word that Sprint was disabling Carrier IQ software installed on its carrier-branded devices, and this week we witnessed a firmware update on the HTC EVO 3D that quietly removes all traces of the tracking software completely. Neither company was forthcoming about this particular feature disappearing — we have a hunch they’re trying to keep the public from being reminded that CIQ ever happened — but Android Authority discovered that both HTC IQAgent and IQRD were completely gone after the update. So add this to the list of the build’s other performance enhancements, and here’s to hoping that we’ll start seeing a plethora of other devices getting similar releases.

Nook Tablet update closes sideloading loophole, lacks holiday spirit

Remember all that extra functionality your Nook Tablet used to have? Well, that’s what memories are there for. The recently-released Nook 1.4.1 firmware update apparently prevents the Nook Tablet from installing Android apps from non-Barnes & Noble sources.
