Just a question.. what is android.process.acore? It uses a huge amount of battery and also requires root access?
Does anyone know what android.process.acore is? sorry for double posting

It can not be disabled can it?

Its a system function so disabling it would really not be a good idea. And system apps technically have root AFAIK
I used battery mix and saw that android.process.acore uses 90% battery.
But while my phone is in idle the battery is awesome. 1% in 8 hours, but if i start using it, the battery drops faster then normal.(Not comparing to while the phone is idle, but comparing to when it was stock).
I was wondering if it also have something to do with the modem? I am using the Rogers I317MVLALJ2.
and the kernal is
3.0.31 - 679347

Hmmmm acore never calls for super user permission. Its a system app so it kind of already has it so showing up in the log is a bit of cause for concern. Do you have any apps that you use a lot that utilize contacts or sms that might want root? like a different contacts app or messaging app because a bug in either of those could do it

Wrong, it's your contact storage. Not google contacts, just regular. To OP, try wiping the data (for contacts storage.)
I think i found what caused it. I changed the SuperSU android.pricess.acore to prompt so it would ask again for permission. Found out it was caused by GO Task Manager EX. Removed go task manager and everything appears to be normal.
If the problem persists, then I am going wipe data on contacts with Titanium backup.
On Battery Mix the android.process.acore droppes down to 50% hoping it would drop more by using other application as it all adds up to be 100%

I just re-rooted mine (after losing it because of the 0.7.2 update), and now I'm getting this exact thing from SuperSU for this same process.
Is there any more info out there on this?
I don't want to keep something that's supposed to have it from having root, but I don't just want to grant it to whatever wants it either. Seems to me like a system app that needs root should know how to get it, and I shouldn't be able to deny it root anyway.
I do also have Go TaskManager though like the OP. So, I will remove that and see if it goes away.
If it does go away with the removal of Go TaskManager, what does that mean?
Thanks.
I just sent a support request e-mail to the Go folks. I will try to remember to report back here when/if I get more info on this issue...
I have wipe the phone 3 times, but still have the process.android.acore.
i used twrp
wipe cache, wipe delvik, wipe system, wipe internal, factory reset
First time wiped but backed up with titanium back up.(along with go task manager) --- process.android.acore remained
Second time wiped but backed up with titanium back up also, wiped contacts storage also. WITHOUT Go task manager --- process.android.acore remained
But did not request root for process.android.acore, But by using Battery Mix. The process.android.acore still drains battery 80%+ usage.
Third time, wiped phone but WITHOUT backup anything. --- process.android.acore is still there
so i gave up.... but my battery is good after the third wipe.
But i am also using the newest perseus kernel with the Profile 5 settings. Not sure if it is because of the kernel that the battery is better but is still draining in the background.
I am using the newest Go Task Manager EX advance kill.. which requires root for the program. But it should be asking for the Go task manager root but instead of that.. it is asking for process.android.acore
Unless you are installing a specialized hacker Rom. Nothing stock(fresh flash) should ask for super user ever.

That's what I figured.
So, do you have any idea what may be going on here?
Are we (gerazz and I) the only two it's happening to?
Other than the initial auto-reply, I haven't heard back from Go about it yet.
The process.android.acore shows up regardless. But it does.not require root if i do not use the Go Task Manager.

So im having issues with my android market... Apparently when i select "My Apps", it doesnt recognize that i have any apps loaded. So i downloaded "MARKET FIZ-ROOTED" by Potente. This app added 3 apps that can not be removed! I even tried reflashing new roms with no luck. The added apps are "GWANG-JU SUBWAY"by Hyun min cho, "KAROGES" by Creative factory and "Lovely Sky live wallpaper" by Creative factory. I reported all 4 apps to Googles reporting link. Funny thing is when you try to warn people on the ratings tab, it never shows up in ratings! I need some ideas to get me out of this mess. Im afraid of using my phone for any sensitive information for now.
Try this. Format your internal SD card and external from Astros or something similar. Then in recovery wipe everything and flash "Calkulin's format all zip". Then flash a fresh ROM.

Google has the ability to remotely remove apps from a persons phone if I recall correctly. I hope that they remove them for you upon your report of them being malicious apps.

This single app is the culprit. This app can be deleted but the other 3 cannot.
Hopefully google will get back to me.
Common sense is still the best antivirus.
Why would you even install that app? Look at the reviews. There's 8 and half of them are bad. It doesn't even claim to fix the problem that you are describing.
Did you even ask xda for help before installing the app?
Did OP try using titanium backup to force remove offending apps? Needs root iirc. They'll likely be listed as system apps.

Gwan ju has the same system name as com.samsung, thatswhy it shows up in your apps but its not actually installed. Google will have to remove it from the market or you have to uninstall com.samsung to get rid of the app appearing in your downloads.
If you uninstall com.samsung you will not be able to update your profile or PRL, but besides that there are no other side effects.

Looks like im back to square one and now only see this as installed apps.
Thanks for all the communities help. My phone is back to normal now. As for my market not recognizing my phone, i used Titanium back up to destroy all market links. I then Used market doctor to restore all user apps only.
This app just used over 5 gigs of data for what ever reason without my knowledge. If you use it, just move over to CM, it's far better.

It used the data on WiFi. Probably counts any data you used over WiFi after toggling the WiFi on with widgetsoid. Check your mobile stats for a more accurate reflection.

I don't have any service at the moment, so it can't use any mobile data. If that's the case, then it still woulnd't make sense because I haven't used it since I was on stock (I've been on CM 10.1 for 3 weeks now).

Widgetsoid is solid.
I've worked on the beta program with the dev, and I've given him a heads up. I doubt the problem is Widgetsoid, but if it is, I'm pretty sure the dev will fix it ASAP.
Hi,
I'm the dev of Widgetsoid. I use internet connexion only for showing FAQ under main menu and make backup/restore with DropBox.
I don't understand what's append with your devices... Can you tell me your device name and your android version please ?

It was part of my TitaniumBackup. I just batch restored a lot of apps I think I would need, but since CM 10 has built in notification widgets, I forgot about widgetsoid.
when you dirty flash a rom over stock, data statistics are messed up and applications name are all wrong, happened to me a lot of times..
widgetoid is not to blame for sure.

I'm almost certain it wasn't a dirty wipe.
I did wipe cache, format/reset. Is that still considered a dirty flash?
Also, how do I go about resetting my data usage? What app do I clear cache for?

I don't know where this statistics are stored, I wondered this myself when this thing happened to me..I don't remember if this bug is present also with a full wipe, this would mean that are stored in sdcard partition (I don't think so..) or worse, they are synced to a google server , or also craptanium backup is to blame.
Anyone has some informations?
Ok thanks for this informations i make all my tests with a galaxy nexus with stock ROM (root) and widgetsoid never appear in my data usage and i use it every day...
I will look into my code to if something can be download or upload data but 5Go is huge ! None of widgetsoid option can do this.

As others have stated, maybe google data usage sync is to blame.
I have seen this happen before on my device. For some reason Zagat had over 10GB of usage showing and i never used the app... I have a tendency to download apps mentioned in blogs and never use them Lol....
I think there are some bugs in the data usage widget, its happened on more then one occasion.

It sounds like a variation of the simplocker malware which encrypts your SD card. Although it could be someone messing about, not sure what they would be using though.
Might be worth noting the below site just in case.

They also have an antivirus app:

Just transfer your pictures and music to your computer, make sure you back up and sync your everything on your Google account. And wipe that shiz. Be done with it

Just save your data to your pc, scan it with a proper AV, and wipe the phone...
Copy EVERYTHING to your PC, including your root folders and files...
And stop using Mobile AV they're useless... Remember, the best AV you could ever have, is your own common sense... In other words, the best AV is a responsible user...

Sorry for the late update. I rescanned using ALV and it found something in Dolphin Browser. I quarantined it and then uninstalled the browser and deleted the files left on the phone. I'm not sure whether it was a false alarm: ALV also found 'suspicious' files in other apps (e.g. Modern Combat 4). So, it might have been spam. But, it's been much more than 24 hours since I got the message and nothing has happened. I've rescanned the phone using Avast, AVL and ESET and they all say the phone is fine. So, it seems the problem is gone.

It seems that it came from a link: it was in the Dolphin Browser folder. But, it might have been a spam message rather than a virus. Not sure since AVL gave quite a few false positives.

Hey!
You could try a 3rd party Wear battery stats app, like this, to see if it can throw more light on it for you.
If that doesn't help, to troubleshoot, you could factory reset your watch (in settings), then reconnect/pair it to back your phone, but don't resync your apps just yet at this point.
When the watch and phone are successfully paired, recheck your battery stats after a few minutes and see if the mystery app returns in the list. If it does show up again, you know it's a stock app, and there's probably nothing to worry about. If it doesn't reappear, and only shows up when you resync your apps to the watch, you then know it's something you've installed yourself.
If it bothers you that much, you could perform another factory reset and install your apps back onto the device one by one, checking your battery stats after a few minutes along the way to see which one is the culprit.
Incidentally, I don't have the no-name app on my SW3 running 5.0.2 with the latest Wear app, and honestly I don't think it's good practice by a developer to leave an app in that state purposely, so I'd be wary of it to be honest - looks kinda dodgy!
Best of luck!

Hey!
You could try a 3rd party Wear battery stats app, like this, to see if it can throw more light on it for you.
If that doesn't help, to troubleshoot, you could factory reset your watch (in settings), then reconnect/pair it to back your phone, but don't resync your apps just yet at this point.

Awesome! Thanks for all of your suggestions I am just in the process of using the app you suggested to track down what application that running service belongs too. It's not bothering me massively, just seems a little suspicious as you say.
What lead me to look there in the first place was that my battery is only lasting me around about 3/4 of a day! Which is a hell of a lot less than all the reviews have stated i should be getting out of it.
I may well try a factory reset tbh...just to see 1. if that service goes away using your methods for checking 2. to see if my battery improves. Will report back when I know more anyway, hopefully be able to help others out who have the same issue.
I did actually have 2 apps with the same lack of name at one point...very odd!
Edit: Damn just seen that the app you suggested required xposed on my phone which I don't have at present due to running lollipop and not wanting to use the alpha

Wear Battery Stats doesn't require Xposed! I'm using it on my phone and I've never installed or used Xposed before.

Oh okay, my bad! . It just wasn't showing any info and it said that I must be rooted and have xPosed installed. I went for the full reset and app re-sync option anyway as I want to try and fix the bad battery life...will see if that also resolves the mystery app issue!
Odd! I now have a black one too..
I had fast battery drain because of an animated face...it showed usage 2 percent but in reality was way way more... Just set a standard face and test it for a day
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
I think that's the case yanno! I had an animated face set and the battery was draining really really quickly! I was charging it twice a day, I set a different watch face (still slightly animated) but the battery went for a whole day then and still had 30% left!!
I am currently running Marshmallow build N920AUCU2BPE5 and my biggest battery drain is Android System diagnostics.client.wakelock.
Anyone else getting this same wakelock? I have tried factory resetting, clear cache etc.. nothing seems to get help

Turning off Bluetooth stopped the WakeLock. Running a few tests to see if is related to Android Wear.
EDIT: Bluetooth wasn't the issue, Wakelock came back
Don't know if it's diagnostics.client.wakelock for sure, but having Android System drain, and doing some testing to see if it's Android Wear as well.

Let me know if it helps. I disablee Android Wear and even turned of bluetooth for remainder of the day yesterday, and it only made a slight difference.

Thanks for digging into this. This is one thing I really miss about my OnePlus One - full control over apps/system apps that caused wakelock issues.

Still having issues with the particular Wakelock, ever tried ODIN flash back to Lollipop, Factory Reset/Delete Cache and then upgraded back to Mashmallow (Didn't do a Factory Rest or Delete Cache the first time I upgraded).
I created a new how to post here to show detailed process stats. Maybe someone else is having a similar issue and will have some idea on how to fix it.
What little information I have been able to dig up about 'diagnostics.client.wakelock' it appears to be a CarrierIQ issue. Which just really adds salt to the wound.

Hm so you're seeing this wakelock after a factory reset even before installing any 3rd-party apps? That's really weird and disconcerting. I hope you solve it!

Did you try not consenting to send Samsung diagnostic information during the initial phone setup? Could that be relevant?

I generally opt out of any of that sort of stuff. Is there a way to Opt back in? Possibly could fix the issue.
Also updated to the newest release PE6 and am still seeing the same Wakelock.

I usually opt out as well.
I went into GSam, under App Usage, selected Android System. Then Manage, DiagMonAgent and force stopped it, and wakelocks have decreased dramatically for me (I also force stopped tuiService). Before it was being held awake about 90% of the time. I did this about 19 hrs ago, and it's only showing about 1 hr of wakelock. Of course, would have to do this after every reboot, if not more frequently.
I see both DiagMonAgent and tuiService in Disabler pro - can't you just disable them there? I'll try this and see if I notice any differences.
I have tried everything. It gets under control for maybe a half day then goes off again.

Sorry you're still having this problem. Only one other person (in this thread) seems to have reported having it too.
Does the problem occur after a factory reset even before you install any third-party apps?

Yep, appears before any 3rd party apps are installed. Tried several Factory Resets nothing seems to work.
I'm pretty sure the "diagandroid.iqd" process (Carrier IQ) is causing this. You can see it if you go into "Running services" then tap on "Android System". I haven't found any way to disable it.
By the way, regarding my previous wakelock problem cause by the CVS app: the app is now updated and no longer prevents the phone from deep-sleeping even when the app's in-store (BT-beacon) notifications are enabled.

Agreed, I have been trying to find a way to disable the Process but haven't been able to thus far.
