Been having a ton of GameCenter and app woes and this application, which only show up using Battery Doctor system diagnostics, showed up about the time I updated to iOS 9. Any ideas or translations would be highly welcome. Richard
There are tons of results if you search for battery doctor and weird chinese apps on google. Most likely, every user gets a different chinese app. I dont know what Kingsoft tries to accomplish but it's definitely bullshit and nothing to be worried about. The second screenshot is funny btw cuz there is no way a sandboxed app is able to search for junk files. Bogus.
Hi Rich, it's Chinese so I can't read it perfectly, but a couple of letters refer to a political party, if I'm reading correctly. No idea what that would be. (Edit: or not! Check Moocow's answer a couple posts down)
Funny I'm the only person on this forum who can read Chinese. i派党 爱新闻 is the name of a news app. Political party? Lol no.
Well, there you go. I can read Japanese, but as I'm sure you know, the written languages aren't as similar as one would think even though Japanese kanji comes from China. I just thought I'd try to help since no one else was taking a swing. Glad my attempt could give you a chuckle and help Rich out in one fell swoop.
Hey I appreciate all the help guys! I ended up doing another factory reset on my device and am nervous to even open my Battery Doctor app, as it could be the cause of the bugginess going on. For now, everything is back on track, GameCenter is functional again and I'm able to delete apps without restarting my phone endlessly. That Chinese app listed by Battery Doctor has me nervous in part because of the whole XCode virus debacle. I honestly don't nor have I ever installed any Chinese apps and have thoroughly searched every inch of my device and can find nothing of the sort anywhere!
Like Moscow said, apparently there is a news app on your phone that has a chinese name to it, possibly a chinese developer, and it's a battery hog. My wife could not translate the name. In the app store it has an english name but inside the program it refers to it's original name. You could delete your news apps one by one until it disappears. Hope that helps Rich. Good luck.
I appreciate this^^ but honestly the only news app on mine and my girlfriends phones (this is now showing on hers too) is the stock Apple news app. That is what I've narrowed it down to. That would explain the battery usage, but I just can't see Apple having Chinese script in their US version.
Wow, your wife is spot on! What's frigging crazy is that, that app is iPad only, my gf and I only have Apple phones and I've neve downloaded anything remotely resembling that app. Any ideas on how to "get rid of it"?
I actually found it, she helped though. Luckily her english is better than my chinese. Do you have iexplorer or ifunbox? I would search for it on there and see if you can yank it out.
I use iExplorer, it's free. It opens your phone like a flash drive and lets you add or delete stuff. Used mostly for emulators.
