SE X10 MINI - com.sonyericsson.credentialmanagerservice:credentialmanagerservice above 90%

[Joca Eduardo]

Hello guys,

Last time I've turned on Wi-Fi, Watchdog Lite (android 1.6) started to
Alert the process
com.sonyericsson.credentialmanagerservice:credentialmanagerservice
which is above 90% ( ! ). So, I had to Whitelist the process cause the
'dog' used to alert all the time. As FAQ says, we shouldn't kill apps,
as the 'robot' is in charge of it, right? So, why this process is
consuming so much processing? How can I find the root cause? Or...
should I trust on the 'robot' process management skills?

This is George, from Brazil.

Regards,

Actually, this is a good use of the kill command. It will force stop
that app, and it will hopefully respawn.

Or another alternative would be to reboot the phone, since the killing
of that app might leave your "credentialmanager" in a bad state.

Either way, it sounds like you were getting constant alerts on it,
which means it was using 90% of your CPU for more than a few minutes.
After rebooting, I'd go into the whitelist and remove it. I'm not sure
what that app does, but it shouldn't constantly be using CPU like
that. And it probably won't do it again. But if it does, you'll want
to be alerted again so you can reboot(which is why I'd take it off the
whitelist).
