I can't figure it out, but in the last two-three days, I've had considerable slowdown on all apps and ADW menus and homescreens. Is there an easy way to figure out what is using all the resources and remove it? I have gone over everything that I have installed in the last few days and deleted most of them, but I still have the lag and I can't figure this out. From the time I rooted and updated to 026, the phone has been great and pretty fast and the batt life has been pretty good as well, but now all of that has changed, so something is killing my phone slowly. Any ideas/help/similar stories??
Thanks for your help guys..
"spare parts" gives you various stats under battery usage, you could check what apps etc have been using up CPU time - could give you a clue?
Also bug reporter will let you email the log files to yourself for inspection.
Thanks for the quick response... I totally forgot about spare parts. It was helpful and the problem has been resolved. Back to normal and fast again...
Thanks for the help...
I find that if I leave my phone on too long without restarting then it tends to start lagging up a lot. I usually have to restart every 3-4 days.
agreed.. I find the same issue-- a required restart every few days or the phone begins to lag quite a bit. Not sure of the cause though.

Could you tell what the problem was and how you managed to isolate it? Thanks

The problem seemed to be with fancy widgets, so I figured the update didn't install right, so I uninstalled it, re-installed it and rebooted the phone and everything is a-ok..
But, I did use spare parts to isolate the usage stats..
where is everyone getting fancy widgets? cuz i'm not seeing it on the market
edit: kk so i found a download for it on google. next question. you said your's recently updated.... to what version? i just got 1.2.4..
I'm sure 1.3.0 was the last version they made before they stopped..
here ya go!!

The laggy problem after long time not reboot which your guys mention was caused by applications running, i think. Did you try Task killer? If not, after a day, there are many running program in the cache and your fone would soom run out of memory.
I do use advanced task killer pro and some cache cleaner as well, but even so, I still have to reboot every few days or the slowdown problem re-emerges..
I am keeping my eyes on the usage stats in case I have some rogue program that just eats memory too often.
Hi All,
I came across a few articles online that suggest that the task managers/killers actually do more harm than good. As far as I know, the Android OS is pretty good at multitasking and managing apps when it is needed to free RAM/CPU.
Would like to hear input specifically regarding the X10 and how these apps affect the system and/or phone specially after the 2.1 update?
Thanks!
Well aince I got to 2.1 Ive havent found the need to download a task killer. Its been stable with 100-140mb constant no matter how many apps I open. But in 1.6 I was getting 20mb if I didnt use task killer lol im guessing the need for task killer as the os upgrades gets less and less as 2.2 really gets ****ed by it lol

I've read online about how closing some apps such as mediascape will affect your other media applications cos these services are tied together. But I've always killed all of the ones I don't see myself needing in the next hour or so, and nothing's ever really crashed for me heh.
But I do make it a point to close all apps before running quadrant. Very very pleased with my 730 score

Dumb question, how do you check the RAM?
Best get something like autokiller memory optimizer.
You generally don't need much ram free and if you don't use apps that will eat the hell out of your system in the bg then there's no problem at all.
I haven't used a task killer since switching to 2.1 and there's no performance problems.
I still facing ram problem even after upgrade 2.1, hope no need any task killer anymore once we get 2.2

Not sure if the X10 will get 2.2. Looks like 2.1 is the end of the road for us.
By automatism, after I updated to 2.1 I installed advanced task killer, and at one point I noticed that, whean I had killed apps ammount of free RAM decereased ? So at that point, I uninstalled task killer to check will I notice any change in performance, and there was NONE I could notice, together with same battery duration.
So, so far I vote for no task killers.

Yeah I know we have custom ROMs. I was referring to the official update from SE. I know we will get the UXP update sometime in the future but, not sure if they will go as far as releasing a 2.2 update for the X10?
I don't use it anymore since on 2.1, when using it on 2.1 there's a lot of glitches and it DOES do more harm than good. I get better overall performance without it.
I use it, facebook, skype start by themselves and drain my battery

Yes but, according to Android developers, 2.1 automatically closes these idle programs to prevent that. They claim that android is capable of handling this and that any task manger apps are useless.
Read this article http://androinica.com/2010/05/07/go...-imply-task-killermanager-apps-are-pointless/
Since upgrade to 2.1, I installed Task Killer. It cleaned my memory to have available mem from 80MB to 150MB. However, it got some weired behaviour such as
- X10 got lag for a moment when the screen is just back on.
- when the screen is just back on, Wifi cannot reconnect. I have to disable and enable it again.
So I read to post of Android multitasking and I try it by disable AutoKill but keep the widget on the sceen to see the available mem.
My mem keep available around 70-80MB and X10 performance is increase. No more lag or have to re-enable wifi after screen is back on.
I already remove Taskkiller but installed Watchdog instead. Because there are some bad coding software out there which comsume the battery and CPU even you've exited. In such a case, I have to kill those apps manually.

You want the memory to be as full as possible!!! This means that those often used tasks are there, waiting. This is not Windows! Stop forcing Android to reload everything from scratch! No wonder things are lagging for you.
I've done many experiment about it.
Here's few conclusion, everything you guys claims are all true.
Android is nix base, fulfilling ram mean more cache, more speed.
However, more process mean more CPU usage in some service.
Some softwares are not properly coded, it, unfortunately, doesn't release the resource when it exits
And it's also true that force killing it, will eat more battery because without properly closing, it will eventually open up again
I suggest, instead of killing a task using ATK.
try this one.

It teaches android how to deal with the memory, so it's android who do your dirty job.
Hmm.... I take a look at at autokiller. I think it's better to let Android handle the mem for me. What I'm looking for is an apps that monitor backgound processes/apps that consumes CPU and memory which they should not.
Once identify those apps, I need to kill them individually.
Watchdog paid version suits me well on this purpose. I can put those apps in the blacklist. If they consumes more CPU in the background process, Watchdog will kill them automatically.
I may consider autokiller when I have of low memory warning from my X10 which is currently I have not.

I do without but my phone is seriously laggy at times, it drops under 20mb free ram within seconds after rebooting, extremely annoying! I heard things about jit, but I really have no idea how it works. Also I have a mac, so all those adb needed programs I can't run.
Is there any good application which can make my phone quicker? Now I have some times half screens by sliding through pages in the launcher, that can't be normal!

Try install these app
1. RamDroid

3. CpuTuner (setcpu)- i prefer use the 'ondemand' frequency cos i wan to conserve battery.
all free app.. and need rooted phones. it quite user friendly. jus play with it awhile, u'll know how to use.

I'm using minfreemanager from market with aggressive option, what gives me ~70MB free RAM by the Android's native taskkiller. It's the best choice as of the 2.1 have a lot services running in backround and nobody should harm them.
Trust me, minfreemanager is your weapon against slowness
hi everyone. im new to android and my phone is galaxy 5 (obviously). i got a problem. when i installed or flashed to froyo, i cant seem to make apps run in the background. like im listenin to music and runnin opera MOBILE (more ram consuming one) it closes opera
.. what to do? it stops my downloads! btw whats the xda app for?
The xda App is just to get to your favorite fourms faster. As for the RAM problem. Try an app called Autokiller Memory Optimizer. hit menu and set a preset to aggressive. It will ask for Root Access. Allow and you should have a better RAM solution.
PM if you need anymore help,
-luke
I think u didn't understand.. I want it tp be open not close it. Can the app be made system persistant or sth? Like no background close on a special marked app?
Sent from my GT-I5500 using XDA App
well what I was thinking was the values in aggressive close apps that are empty and not in use (small system apps?). Also in processes (in memory app) if you find the app you want to stay open, long hold and hit lower oom value. It should keep the app into memory for a while.
hope it helps
So... It overrides the default taskman? Cuz this is the problem. After flashing this manager came with it and this s*** closes everything..literally. So will this app really help? I installed it before. Didn't work (i have root)
Hey i searched for this. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683123
Will that rly work? And i mean better multitasking?
Bump.

You could try a MAD Team ROM with App2SD and swap partition.
Ok no help...
Hi, I run the latest Miui and in the morning when i unlock the phone it's freezed and
many apps are opened. The first one is Opera mini, dialer, mesages, gps software
and many others witch i've opened during the day.
I kill apps about every hour but the problem persists.
if anybody encountered this problem before. THANKS!
Android open the apps to keep them in RAM memory, to start them faster (they dont have to be loaded into RAM every time you want to use them). It's different from the Windows working, where the smoothness of the system depends on the free Ram. You should not worry about the opened apps, it's normal, don't kill them because it will cause those freezes it's difficult to explain, read about it, it was mentioned about million times
only kill apps when system is freezing

i'm not shore i made my self understood. The problem was that when i unlock the phone in the morning all those apps are really opened and to use the phone i have to kill all. The phone freezes.
I removed miniOpera and the phone was ok in the morning. I'll see the behaviour in the next days and i'll let you know. THANKS!
sadly, the apps whare oppened again in the morning.
Nothing to worried about it

I should try to wipe cache and dalvik cache. I solved so many problems this way, but the truth i have never similar as you.
Or it cannot help, reinstall the rom the last stable one (2.4.6 maybe or Wiui 2.3.30 I used the last one without any error)
