Hi, all..
Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place... but hopefully, moderators will re-direct...
As through some analysis, I find that the "Search Application Provider" process is frequently going rogue and using 70% of the CPU on my smartphone for no obvious reason, I have disabled the application in the "Settings" of the phone.
After restarting the phone, the process still gets created somehow... and it still takes over the phone.
I generally don't have any network connectivity enabled on the phone, so I'm wondering if there's something with this process trying to connect to something that it will never reach... and that's what makes it go nuts... but when I DO occasionally have the phone connected in a (wireless) network, the process can STILL go stupid.
Any clues on how to *really* disable it? I'm a bit loathe to try and remove it, as there are so many non-obvious dependencies with Android/Linux, that I'm sure I'll break something critical if I totally remove it (and it takes other critical things with it!).
Environment: htc one V running Android 4.0.3, seems to have ~1GB internal storage (480MB apps, 481MB available), with 95MB phone storage (94MB available) and MicroSD card (15GB total space, 11GB available)
Thanks.
