Memory meltdown - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else had this problem where apps constantly keep force closing and render the handset unusable. Only to find the next day everything is ok?

Instagram issues

Anyone else have issues with the app force closing as soon as the app launches? I have reinstalled etc....

yea i get fc's all the time too.
Pretty sure its unrelated to the phone as i'm on an Epic Touch and I have the same problem. However, it doesn't do it immediately on mine, just from time to time.

Mine isn't force closing on launch, but it will force close every time I try to look for friends.
Yeah looking at follows & following FCs the app.

That's weird, I have never had a FC in the app

I'm not having a single issue with it.
No issues here either...

Applications, Instagram, clear cache, clear data, uninstall, reboot. Install again and all is working now.

I cleared the cache on the app and it is working again. Hopefully that lasts.

I think it will. The last update to the app borked something in data. Clearing it and letting it rebuild the data files seems to resolve the issues. I have had zero problems since then.

XDA App eating battery when running in background?

I've noticed that my XDA app on the Galaxy S3 (ATT) is eating up alot of battery. Ate almost 40 minutes of CPU. One time when I went into task mananger, it showed high CPU usage and I wasn't even using it for a while (so it was idle). I also noticed this with the Engadget app.
Anyone notice anything similar? Just seems like they should be sleeping and not using CPU in the background...
Try reinstalling them. I haven't had this problem with either :/
See attached. My screen has been on about an hour and xda for 50 min.

All I can think of is to reinstall. It shouldn't be doing this obviously
I've uninstalled and reinstalled before those screenshots.

Well no idea then, sorry. You could force stop them when you aren't using them.

i'm having the same issue. att sgs3 completely stock never flashed rooted or odined. my phone also seems to stutter and lag a bit more than i was lead to believe it would but i really only started to notice it after installing xda.
i have been using the xda app quite a bit today but an app doubling the screen in battery drain just seems wrong.
xda app cpu times:
total: 2h30m
foreground: 55m
i'm thinking about flashing the stock firmware odin package....... but i'm also thinking about trading in my blue for a white and i think the obvious lag stutter problem might help me avoid restocking fees.
oh what to do?
so no one else is having this problem? just us two?
I'm having this problem as well. I had 90% when I went to bed. 6 hours or so later when I woke up I had 50% left :/

I have also been having this problem since my s2. You can see in the task manager its running about 10 pct in the background. Never found a way to stop this apart from manually closing the app in its settings or force close.
I have been having the exact same issue with my XDA app. It just sucks the battery, using 20-35% on average. This is very odd as I have never had a problem with the xda app before. This is an app issue, hopefully they will update this.

I had xda premium i while back and then they started pushing update and the app wasnt the same ...so i bought tapatalk..no regret what so ever

I also have this problem. I've been manually fcing the app. I assumed it was due to the app trying to serve adds. But I don't really know

Guys, I've had a little better luck...at least its not killing the CPU total (was above 20% before on idle). I've disabled notifications in the settings and I've also disabled the 2 listeners using AutoRun manager.
Does anyone here who is experiencing xda app battery drain have a rooted device with an ad blocker? I have never had this issue with the xda app and the only thing that has changed other than the phone is not being rooted /ad free. My guess is ads are somehow causing this problem.

Have you tried changing the Settings / Notifications/Receive Notification/How often to check
I put never(or Uncheck Receive Notification) and That helps out allot

Kinda laggy?

Anyone notice it doing stuff like reading YouTube comments or xda app specifically scrolling .the stock browser is pretty much lag free but other stuff I dunno I'm thinking the screen size is the cause of this don't really recall it bein this bad on my HTC one s

Yea I have this issue sometimes with the XDA app, facebook n some others. Doesnt happen all the time, only once in a while. Kind of annoying.
Im also getting a slight stutter/lag scrolling.
Yes but I've mostly noticed it in xda.

very laggy
Stock as-is ROM is very laggy. Until I got rid of all bloat, phone was running like first Galaxy.
Use some custom ROMs which will make your phone snappier. I removed around 100 apps.
tapatalk and the xda app lag alot and even crash on me.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
the fix for laggy xda is.
Exit app, hold home, open task manager, kill all.
Then use "app cache cleaner"
All better

(Q) How do I stop my phone from auto closing apps?

I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Note LTE and this phone is really getting on my nerves. Sometimes I am using an app halfway and it suddenly auto-close for absolutely no reason. Just to note, it's running on Android 4.0.4 ICS.
Maybe I should have bought an GS3 or something else other than this garbage.

This is a very strange behavior, indeed. What do you mean by using an app halfway?
Maybe you should do a factory reset, with a nandroid backup first....

Uninstall the apps which would force close suddenly.
I meant that I was like playing a game and in the middle of a race, it suddenly auto close.
Sometimes even Google Chrome and the default browser would auto close. Restarting my device would be a temporary fix and it would auto close again once it's 'overloaded'. Currently, I tried putting the maximum background running apps at 4. Still observing whether it works or not.

Have you tried clearing the Cache of your device?
How do I do that?
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
Since you are in ics, you won't have the option available by default.. So I suggest you to use some third party apps for this.. You can try app2sd available in android market.. Even though the main purpose of this app is not clearing cache, you have the option to do this.. Have a try..

You can use apps Memorry booter.
Thanks a lot. Does this actually prevents any auto closing in future?
Isn't that the same as task killer apps?

[Q] When playing emulators on phone (gameboid, etc.) Or surfing internet phone will s

As the above reads, my phone will shut itself down if I'm playing games or am on the internet. Usually its when I'm on tumblr and have gone waaaay down the pages. I'm running PACman 19.3.0, jellybean 4.1. I'd love to know if there's anything I can do, just short of reflashing to my old CM 9... Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

There could be a lot of things making this happen. It seems to happen more under heavy load as you stated, maybe try another kernel? Are you underclocking/undervolting?
Sent from my GT-i9100 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking it might have something to do with my clock speed. I'm not sure what is a safe speed to move it up to. I'm running at 1100 MHz right now. I think the Max on the scale is 2000. I was also thinking it could be battery related, as the issue does not occur when the phone is charging.
