The backstory: I had a wakeup alarm set using the stock Clock alarm, but it looks like my phone rebooted overnight, and the alarm didn't go off. To facilitate resetting the alarm, I went to App Manager and cleared the cache of Clock. Shortly after any reboot, Watchdog alerts me to Android Media Process using too much CPU. The phone is rooted.
Now, whenever Android Media Process gets above the CPU threshold, the alarm goes off with no indication on the screen. It turns off if I drop down the notification bar. Meanwhile, there is no alarm set in Clock. I have tried Force Stopping Clock and clearing its cache. I have done the same for Media Storage. I have rebooted innumerable times. I have pulled my battery. I just used Root App Delete to uninstall the stock Clock, and still, every few minutes, the alarm sounds and Android Media Process is detected above the CPU threshold.
It seems that whatever Android Media Process is doing that takes up so much processing power is also activating this phantom alarm that is residing somewhere in my system. (Or vice versa.) I tried to rename the alarm's .ogg file using ES File Explorer, but access was always denied. (I have granted the app Superuser permission.)
I am close to crazy. Can someone help me kill this errant alarm and also the Android Media Process that seems to survive with it?
