Description

Hi. Sorry I don't have a screen dump of the process, however this is with good reason as when it happens, the mobile phone grinds to a complete halt, one time even rebooting. It goes very hot, so I suspect it is CPU usage. This happens when the app is not open. The reason I think/know it is the keybase client is that both me and a friend have had the same problem independent of each other with the only two similarities being keybase and that it is a Sony mobile phone. A Z3 compact (running android 6.0.1) and Z5 compact (running Android Nougat) respectively. He system restored his and as soon as he installed keybase the issue began appearing again. If you need any other details from either of us, please notify me.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the background CPU and overheating issue on the reported Sony Z3 Compact or Z5 Compact configurations, then collect process and device details to isolate the cause. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and verifying that background CPU usage no longer causes severe overheating or device instability.
