I have exactly the same problem with my Xperia Sola and I'm not able to find out a solution: I only have to reboot the phone every day.
Have you find the reason of this behaviour?

AW: [Q] mutliple logcat process take all my ram..
Change rom. There is a rom similar to jjs hybrid. Try it.

R: [Q] mutliple logcat process take all my ram..
I tried to disable the logcat by adding the line "logcat.live=disable" in build.prop file, but it doesn't work: multiple logcat process start growing as before.
Now I'm going to change the ROM.

What do you mean: disable logcat in build.prop or change the ROM?
Anyway, at the end I have been able to find out the reason of the multiple logcat process: they are created by avast! antivirus app.
Infact, after it, I have frozen the app and now the RAM memory is completely free from any logcat process!

From the Play Store, install Os Monitor (eolwral): this very good app will show you the "owner" of the logcat process in memory.

this is the answer from avast:
Hello,
I talked to a developer about your problem. He says he heard about this issue a few times, but has never been able to reproduce it or figure out what's the actual problem on the customer device. We suspect it's either weird ROM/device problem or some other app trying to kill us (something like a battery saver app).
He suggests that disabling App Shield's "Scan on execution" and avast! PIN (the pin protection setting in mobile security settings) and maybe rebooting the device should fix the issue. You'll have to live without those features.
Could you please let me know how you decided and wether the suggested deactivations helped?
Thanks,
Werner

I also wrote to avast! support team before my last post, and the answer was almost the same: I haven't tried what they suggested, but my suspect is that the problem could be caused by a bad RAM memory management implemented by Sony.
Infact, we have to consider that they recommend to reboot the phone every day, so before that the memory situation becomes critical.
