A mysterious app named "10102" shows up in my data usage. It bears only the standard Android app icon (the Bugdroid logo with a cube on its torso). From what the graph tells me, it has used 36 megabytes of data in the background and zero on the foreground.

I think I haven't uninstalled anything for months.

Is it malware? I haven't sideloaded anything and only authorized my laptop as a USB debugger. If it's malware, how do I remove it? I have no idea how to find its package name and 10102 isn't in the list of downloaded apps in settings.

I'm running stock & never-been-rooted Android 4.4.4 on Nexus 4.

  • I'll let it sit for a few days. If it stops using data, it's probably some uninstalled app. Otherwise, it's most likely a malware. Either way, I'll get back to you guys and upvote and pick an accepted answer.

  • I just realized that I am having this case too. In my case, it's 10120 with only background usage of 40 bytes. I also tested uninstalling an app, but it just removed the entry in "Data Usage". On the other hand, there is a "Removed apps" entry inside that page too, which I think uninstalled apps' data go into there. I'll monitor this issue for a while.

  • Here's my list - 10926, 10266, 2021, 2030, 12161 and there are much more in my Data Usage. I usually install and uninstall apps all the time. May be these numbers belong to them.

    UIDs ranging between 10000 and 19999 are assigned randomly to installed apps (system and user). If you do a factory reset or reinstall a user app, the assigned UID will be changed.

It's probably an uninstalled app. It happened on my phone a few times.
