Is there a way to watch CPU or I/O demand of applications on the android. It's pretty obvious when one app goes rogue, but what if you phone isn't totally slowed, but something is off. Any way to help identify which apps. require the more resource to then consider removal?

OT - @xperienceD, next time you can use lmgtfy, like this, better presentation
Really?
Is it wrong to hope the learned people of this forum would share the top 3 or so apps that perform this functionality as opposed to searching endlessly on Google for something that looks like it would work?

Is it wrong to hope that People follow Rule 1 on a developing website and find information themselves that has been discussed numerous times over the last few years.

Do you expect people prove that they have done hours of searching on the site before posting a question?
BTW, your search suggestion didn't even address my question.
My question has to do with rogue applications that slow down my phone, I'm not looking for applications that drain the battery.
I'm assuming the apps resource utilization:. Memory, CPU, Network or other is the root cause. Some apps could potentially cause
phone sluggishness without killing the battery; constant network pinging or other buggy behaviors.
For example: I've learned that the issue may have to do with android memory management, in general it's apparently slow.
This would make sense because I've loaded quite a bit of applications on my phone by using link2sd. I was expecting a performance boost now that I've moved the majority of my applications off of the phone and freeing up internal phone storage. However, this hasn't helped.
I'm not just looking for apps, but also suggestions or tips and tricks on how to figure phone performance issues...
Regards,
Mike

Now had you made your OP such a post then my reply may have been different or I wouldn't have replied at all, but even so, Android isn't new and searching is going to give you better answers by reading what's been posted before which you seem to have been doing, which only takes you so far. Have you tried build.prop or init.d scripts to try and speed things up?

If anyone else is running MIUI 2.1.13 with the latest SiyahKernel, could you please try downloading/installing some app or another from the Android market website? Because I live in a 2g area, I have to download my apps from the website. Any time I try to search for an app in the Market on my phone, my connection times out. I have no wi-fi for the vast majority of my day, so that's also out.
I would really like to determine if this is a known issue or if this is an isolated problem. If it's isolated, I'll reflash in hopes that it will work. If not, I'd obviously rather not.
Did you look in that ROM's thread in Dev to see if anyone else reported a similar issue?
I searched the MIUI thread but didn't find anything. It's possible that I missed it, I suppose, but I don't know what else to search for other than what I already have.
Try to enable sync on all Google related services and then using the Market on the website.
If its turned off then it probably won't get pushed to your device.

Did you before you made this jerk response? Or did you just assume that help was already in that thread.
I made sure that all google services are free to sync as they wish. That didn't do it. I re-flashed MIUI. That didn't do it either, unfortunately.

New users come to xda and ask simple, common questions on a regular basis. It's not uncommon for someone with a low post count to dive straight into posting, rather than utilize the search button.

It didn't look like a jerk response to me. It looked like a reasonable response. He was merely pointing him in that direction to see if it might have been answered, especially since a lot of people on here don't bother to search.
As for the topic, my experience with MIUI is that all the apps never show up in the market, and is part of the reason I've never really stuck with it. It has to do with google not recognizing it as one of the standard UIs on their list for our phone, therefore not all the apps are shown. At least that's what I've seen explained in the past. Hope this helps.

Unlike your response, there was nothing jerky about mine. The guy has 8 posts. It's possible he might not have even thought to look where I pointed him. I said nothing derogatory to him. Any perceived jerkiness is in your head as evidenced by the two following posters. Don't bother with an apology as your screen name fits you perfectly.
Thread cleaned up...
Have the same issue as the author of this thread. Using Nexus S, Kalimchoaz's Rom v. 2.1. Does anyone have any solutions?
I was able to do it just fine on WIUI 2.1.13 -- I probably got around 80 apps that way. However, I was redownloading them and had previously already gotten them, so it may be different. I no longer have WIUI, so I can't check if I have your issue. I guess MIUI may be different than WIUI...
so i got the transformer prime the other day and im trying to put music on it. i click yes when the dialog box comes up and it just freezes and never transfers. its really frustrating anyone have a clue as to why?

Why don't you give your thread a title so people know what you are asking.
Once you have done that, why not explain your question more clearly and provide any relevant information possible. The more info people have the easier it will be for them to help you troubleshoot your problem.
Also, have you tried loading the music onto a microSD card and playing your music from there?
P.S. Try to be patient. Helping you fix your issue isn't most people's #1 priority. Acting like a **** only moves that even lower on everyone's priority list.
Need more info like O/S.......And, better thread title.
Hi, I am about to recieve my newly bought android phone soon and I was checking out some apps on the Android Market to prepare myself for the android overload with apps
Well, after looking through the pages, I saw a lot of apps for maintenance so I was wondering if they are actually useful or just a bunch of useless apps?
Thanks in advance for the info !
Cheers
I think your topic is to broad. There are generally both good and bad apps in any given category

Thats mainly why I'm asking it, there are so many apps about maintenance and I would like to know which any of you might think/know is good. Because my dad has tried something like a "Battery Life Saver" but it just took more of his RAM so it was pointless in one way but useful in another.
Basicly if the apps are useful, if yes, which are useful, and in what kind of way it's useful.
Or for example "Tool X can be used each month to clean ..." , "Tool Y can be used to improve CPU/RAM or any other kind".
Sometimes you see a "big" post of someone who explains it for PC for noobs like:
1. Do a defrag of your PC each 6 months.
2. Clean registry each ...
...
Sorry if I'm asking for too much.
I'm getting a lot of insufficient storage messages when trying to download new apps or update old ones. I've tried formatting, reinstalling the ROM, clearing data/cache, clearing market data/cache, and still nothing. I'm also unable to move my apps to SD card, the app I use gives me an error saying that the phone doesn't support it. Any ideas?
Are you rooted? Which app are you using to move apps?
like iampro said, are you rooted? what rom are you on? what app are you using to move your apps to the sd card? apps2sd doesn't work from what i understand, but foldermount does i think.
Yes I'm rooted, running liquid Rom. I've tried numerous app 2ad apps that I was able to install. I was unable to try foldermount because I can't install it.

I am having the same issue but no one will answer on these forums... I found out that a while ago. Trying to find a solution gonna ask Virus on my infectedrom.com account as they always answer your questions. Seem to get left in the wind over here. Not sure I should have went Samsung if I would have known this. If I find a solution will post back. Try Busy Box. I couldn't install that either but can install other apps.

I take at least a bit of offense with your statement 'no one will answer on these forums'. There are many people at least trying to offer assistance. Where I have something to add I try, but there are many problems I've never had and have no idea on so I usually stay quiet. No need to clutter up the forums with 'no idea/ sort of posts.

I totally understand where your coming from, but look at the forums for this problem. It's everywhere with basically no answers. Seems like it would be more fitting to at least reply to a thread asking a question or else pretty much looks like no one cares... see my point? I haven't cluttered up any posts but if you look at the date they were having this problem and today's date seems like there would at least be some sort of response. If you asked a question and no one replied what would u think? you would rather have that then someone actually reply and try to help if they could or at least try and point you in the right direction? I am not trying to insult anyone as the devs work really hard at making roms and mods and so on. I am also a dev(only done wake up mods and small flash fixes, not claiming to be the best or anywhere near that by anymeans lol) haven't filled out the app but I have tried to look at it myself as well.That being said I would rather have a response than nothing at all. As I work mad hours doing IT/Programming. And no response just looks like no one cares not saying it is true just my personal opinion.
Sorry to offend you as that was not my intent. I try and help anyone I can as well. Just have more experience with HTC.

No worries. I would hope that someone who has solved the problem would pipe up. May just be nobody has found a solution.
And, yes, I have seen posts about issues similar to this and, sorry, have no idea whatsoever.

No problem I appreciate your insight, I think I may have found a way around this. Gonna try it and will post back instructions if it works. If not I have a second method which will take longer but would work. So its not a total loss and hopefully I will help some people out as well. : ) . :cyclops:

So, I own a LG G4 Beat, and even though the phone is awesome, I have somekind of a weird lag when playing ANY game.
What happens is that the game suddenly pauses itself. Because something in the phone makes the phone think that the game was sent to the process, and came back to it. Like pressing the home button when in an app. The problem is that this happens to every game in the existence, and ONLY on my phone. Other phones I used to own, and the tablet I used to have does not have this problem.
I have told the same problem in a really famous forum website, around 2015. It has got +100k views, but no answers. So, yeah, this problem I have seems to be extremely new, but in the hopes of fixing it, I decided to post it here. Please help. :crying:

I'm betting the issue is your device. After looking at the specs I'm surprised it even loaded. That device barely hits the min ram needed for the OS. Let alone a game. Then add in the budget cpu and gpu and to be honest you will get a crappy game experience if it loads at all.
Also running a logcat will tell you just what is happening. There are tutorials all over the place on how to run one.
As for posting it on another forum in 2015. Unless it was here then it really has a low chance of being looked at or getting any real answers.
