Rstech knile произошла ошибка

G’day all. I’ve done searches for this (apparently) android system file(?) and am staggered to find nothing about it.

What does rstech_knile do?

Why does it auto wake when the tablet is in ‘sleep’ mode?

Why does it regularly go on-line and consume more data than a day’s web browser use. (I’ve had over 10MB in one session.)

Generic 9″ tablet with Droid 4.4.2

The only thing I can find for that is this….
http://club.jd.com/consultation/1120415-47160230.html (Chinese)

Which is an Onda tablet, and it’s saying that the firmware is damaged or corrupted. And if you can’t flash it yourself from the website, to take it to an Onda service centre, or to call Onda tech support in Guangzhou, 020-87081400

Is your tablet an Onda?

BTW Onda, we have had some rather strange and sinister things reported on AF about some of their devices, such as built-in Chinese government censoring. Someone posted that he apparently couldn’t get Facebook or Youtube with an Onda tablet in the UK. So I do think this rstech_knile might be something to be concerned about, could be spyware.

There’s a company in Beijing called RStech, which does some sort of professional data-logging equipment. www.rstech.com.cn

This one came up last month…

I think it’s very probably Chinese, might be spyware, but other than that, nothing much conclusive.

Try factory reset as something funky is going on there, and then see what happens. What tablet is it, make, model and Android version, but I’m assuming it’s a no-name budget Chinese one, e.g. a supermarket cheapo, like Aldi Onix or Onda.

PLR IP Holdings is what was left of the bankrupt Polaroid Corporation(most people don’t use instant film cameras these days), that uses and licenses the «Polaroid» trademark for whatever it can, e.g. cheap tablets from the PRC. And still the only information I can find and surmise about this thing, is what I’ve stated above and in the other thread.

That «xkbptek dot com» in your OP, is not even a registered domain name.

Secrets or sometimes Chinese language only, or things that no longer exist, which is what that «xkbptek» might be. It sounds like it might have been a company name, and the domain registration is now expired.

This could in be why this «rstech_knile» process is giving trouble, because the server it’s trying to ping or phone home to is no longer operating. That’s a guess.

BTW Onda, what I was referring to in the other thread and has this «rstech_knile»,

they no longer make Android tablets,

and have moved onto Windows 10 tablets.

Your Guide to Chinese Androids.

Ahahaha its OK ….

FYI:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoning_home
Phoning home, in computing, refers to an act of client to server communication which is undesirable to the user and/or proprietor of the device or software. It is often used to refer to the behavior of security systems which report network location, username, or other such data to another computer.

It think it’s taken from «E.T. phone home»

So u mean this Rstech_Knile may be the phoning home app or the pinger to the server???

Ahhhh…. they’re always tracking our information …. spys, Chinese things etc.

Oh! That’s why my antivirus app says that it is spyware!!!!! You’re great!! Because it is not a threat but it resembles a threat!! Great!!!!! Such antivirus apps are sooooo idiot that they consider a system app a threat!!!! Hooooooo yeahhhh!! So all this time I’m fooling myself around!!!!!!!! thanks for the info and help

And given what’s apparently happened, that’s where the problem my lie with it,

the server it’s trying to phone home to is no longer there, it’s not taking NO for an answer

, so it’s crashing, causing excessive power consumption. Lousy coding probably. Maybe the only way to stop it would be to root and delete it, that’s if it can’t be disabled via Settings > Apps > All.

It just shows up a search page or a blank one

Yeh it’s an

unregistered domain

. Because presumably whomever had it is no longer paying and so the registration expired. Likely the Chinese company is no longer in business, which often happens.

It’s not exactly desirable or catchy, register it yourself for a few bucks if you want.
