Re: Sprint rep knew i DOWNLOADED TASK KILLER?

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but if you think that what you do on your phone is not "trackable" or recorded in some way you are mistaken. Nearly everything you do which is internet based is stored and can be subpoena'd if need be by legal channels.

In my personal opinion, I belive that when you buy a phone which you later choose to root, that is your discretion as you own the hardware. However, this does not mean that what you download, view, text, call etc. is not being logged in some way.

For example, whether your phone's gps is on or not, a cellular company can triangulate your position if necessary and can do so without your approval or knowledge. This is typically only done when there are exigent or extreme circumstances such as a missing person or someone who poses a danger to the public. This is common practice in today's society. (Your evo also shows this behavior if you turn off gps yet it can still locate your position give or take a minor distance for weather clock and Google Maps)

Cell phone calls have always been logged. Just look at your detailed bill at the end of the month. It breaks down all of your texts, calls, downloads (I remember Sprint Music store had all details) etc. If someone needed to know who you texted and what was said, I am almost positive that the information will be on file in some way.
