Background: I broke the screen on my Samsung Captivate Glide and realized I didn't have a decent backup except via MyPhoneExplorer and Google. I did replace the screen, so lack of a backup didn't bite me this time, and also bought a cheap rough around the edges second phone. I tried to use Helium without rooting to back up my phone and transfer to the spare, and is didn't work (somehow, permissions were not being granted). So I used the spare phone to practice and rooted it using CWMR and the current CWM superuser zip file. Everything went well. So, I did the same thing on my "real" phone.

Then the "fireworks" began. Every time I boot the phone, I get a bunch of unusual requests for root access. It slows the boot process to a crawl. Sometimes it seems as though nothing is happening, but it will evenyually get through the boot. SU Log shows multiple requests from "Kies via Wi-Fi" (which I don't even have enabled), "Settings". "USB Settings", "Android System", "com.samsung.InputEventApp","Application Installer", "com.samsung.app.playreadyui", "wssyncmlnps", "PhoneUtil", and com.sec.android.app.lcdtest". None of these should require SU access, and SU even warns that they don't declare "access_SU".

Once the phone finally gets through booting, all seems to be running well, though one other odd thing about this one vs. the spare is that SU shows up as using battery in Settings.

I suspect it is one of my apps that is creating the havoc, since the spare phone doesn't have all the same ones installed. And once I get a good Helium backup, I'm going to see if I can figure out which one. But before I start that painful process, I thought maybe somebody else can help point me to the problem.

I searched and didn't find anything like this in the forums. And what I did find on CWM SU was in device-specific forums where I don't think this is device specific since it only happened on one of two same model phones.
