Short Version: You have super spy-ware on your phone.

"Carrier IQ, a diagnostic tool installed in millions of smartphones all over the world, is gathering a lot of info about your activity – possibly even recording keystrokes, content of SMS messages and more – and sending it to a third party."

That's why first thing you do after you get the smartphone is installing a custom rom without carriers bloatware.

The Google Nexus smartphones don't have it as well. But most branded Android devices and iPhones are affected.

It is getting ridiculous the amount of spying. If I understand it right Blackberry now records which stores you go into and what purchases you make and sends them to 3rd party to target you with specific ads.

I am getting a galaxy something or other in a short while. Good to know there are ways around this.

New news. Logins and passwords might be compromised.

"Information sent to Google via the HTTPS (SSL) connection should be encrypted, so it’s obvious that the secretive app is catching the outgoing query before it’s sent through the secure layer by the phone and recording it."

The FBI disclosed this weekend that it uses data gathered by Carrier IQ software for "law enforcement purposes", but refused to give any details of exactly how it has done so.
