[MEGATHREAD] What is user: DOBULE_APP

[Android Central Question]

Dear All,

I have observed recently in my mobile, a job "user: dobule_app" is running in the background and it looks weird because when i search on internet, i could not find anything related to this. Also, i tried to stop that but unable to do so.

Can anyone suggest me what is that for?

Thank you.

Regards.
Pradip Gupta

Do you use any Dual App or App Clone feature on your phone?

Think someone messed up and put dobule instead of double? lol that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it

I think that's the reason. I still can't find any definitive information on the web, but I strongly suspect the engineers misspelled "DOUBLE_APP" when they created this feature.

Yes I doo

Welcome to the forums. Does that app shows up in your battery stats and data usage? Could you post a screenshot of those two screens?

That screenshot the member posted looks like it's the details from the Data Usage menu (showing foreground and background usage).

It's possible, yes. I've seen a thread where users were wondering if the Dobule_app was related to a process with UID '-5' that showed in other stats, which is hotspot. I was wondering if this was the case here.

This is the thread. Long shot but worth a try.

Hmm interesting find. Doesn't hotspot usually show up as tethering & hotspot though?

In some brands it shows up as '-5'. No idea why

Yeah that's weird, but ok lol. Thanks

What about the red contacts looking icon? Is it just a generic Android icon or can it be linked to something?

 

[Mr Bojangles1]

Try downloading an app named App Inspector from Google play to see if any of your apps show dobule anywhere. It lists package names and other info about your apps.

It is a normal system app that is nothing to be concerned about.

Data consumption by app

I found something called Android dobule app in data usage and it consumes more than 1 GB data per day

Re: Data consumption by app

The device OP has a vivo v21 , contacted me through a PM

 

[B. Diddy]

Re: Data consumption by app

Yep, Vivo is mentioned more than once in that other thread. I'm still convinced it has to do with some double app feature (i.e., being able to clone certain apps like social media in order to log into more than one account), and the Vivo engineers simply misspelled "double."

PLEASE, ANYONE WHO KNOW something about this stuff, tell us.
Is this a virus or malware or anything else?
