I found the GC kicks in frequently freeing memory in my map activity, I couldn't trace out the reason and this happens when map start constructing titles i.e when we slide the map. And eventually the activity stops to force quit due to memory out of bound exception. The activity points the geo points of various location stored in the arraylist.

I recently installed Bugless Beast v1.1 @ 1Ghz. I've noticed that the memory available has dropped down to the 60's and 70's when I wipe everything. Bugless Beast is fine, whether I have 40 memory or 60. On Stock 2.1, it would go up to 130 Max. So what's up? Why is my available memory so low?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI don't know if it's my phone or what but when I look up the Other Usage on my phone, it shows it "Running" more than 2/3 of the time.And on Network Usage, "Android System" and "Media" use a great deal of the phone as well.I think this might have to do with my "android.process.acore" crashing every once in a while when it's asleep. Based on everyone's feedback I might have to return the Moment for a third time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo we have 2 Incredibles on a family plan and with this chatter of eventual data caps, I just was curious and took a look at our recent data usage on myverizon to see where we stand.I average about 5gb a month while my significant other is around 20gb! I am a moderately heavy web user (although I don't really have anyone to compare to, but I check the internet a lot during the day out of sheer boredom at work) and he by all means is not.Can somebody explain what exactly eats data and how it works? We are mostly just curious and are guessing it's an app. But *what* is doing it? Like does it draw data from the internet or something? Is that app updating or refreshing? The only thing I know about data is like if you refresh a page on the internet, then data is used. I refreshed a website twice and my usage according to 3d watchdog jumped about 1mb. Is that normal? Is it also normal for there to be data usage while your phone is asleep?
View 7 Replies View RelatedAn hour after my G1 phone was fully charged, the "Battery Usage" showed me that my game had used 20% of the battery usage. Except, I never ran my game (I had run the game before starting the charge). I checked TasKiller, and it didn't list my game as running (my game also doesn't run any services). When I clicked on the details of the battery usage for my game, it didn't list anything under the "Use details" section. Is it possible to use battery, but not have anything listed under the "Use details" section?

1. Is there a way i can block certain apps from using the 3G internet?
2. Is there an app that will tell me what apps are using what amount of 3G internet usage?

then i go to RAM tab, i press CLEAR MEMORY.. after clearing.. my RAM status is 594MB / 788MB
is there a way to lower it down to lets say 300MB?
Not sure if many of you have been following threads out there about very high data usage on standby - my experience.I went from using 5mb - 10mb a day to 100mb/day.Unbelieveable.I tried searching for everything I could to figure it out - all the way from Location Setting swithed on to Facebook having a Calendar sync'ing glitch where it perpetually sync'd - never stopped.Hence racked up Mb's.The problem, I believe, for my phone was the Gmail constantly sync'ing. I guess i have a few emails with large attachments - 3-5mbs. I thought once it sync'd it to my phone, it would not reload them. I had sync on every hour - so every hour - 5mbs were used.Needless to say, i have stopped the auto sync of my Gmail its on manual now, and better yet i will just be using IMAP instead of Push email, and the problem has been solved.
I am now back to normal use of 5mbs per day 10mb on the high side.And that is with Twitter constant, internet, Push to Talk, and World War game to name a few.If you dont follow your data usage, i highly recommend you do. There are horror stories out there of people having to pay $1000 extra. I will be owing prob an extra $50.00 or more due to this issue.(In Canada here on Bell Carrier monthly limit is 500mb) I recommend downloading 3G watchdog - really good at monitoring data.Anyway, just wanted to share this story, as I dont think there has been an HTC Legend thread. And that is the phone I have.
Whenever I receive or send an SMS the CPU usage goes up to 90%-100% for like 5 seconds and then returns to low usage. At first I thought it was a problem with Handcent and after uninstalling and using the stock messaging program it does the same.
Is this normal?
Device: Sony Xperia Mini
Android: 2.3.4
I've spent the last 2 hours listening to a mix of mp3's that were either pre-loaded onto my sd card and that I've added to it myself (40-60 split) and I've noticed on 3G watchdog that my usage has shot up 40% odd!Why has this happened when I'm listening to stuff from my sd card?I have installed the last.fm app for what it's worth, is it doing soemthing it shouldn't be? I've had a look in my task manager and there is nothing obvious running that shouldn't be, if that makes sense.
View 8 Replies View Relatedmy Infuse 4g uses 25% of the battery when it's in deep sleep during the 6 hours I sleep. Yes, it is in deep sleep. Yes I have BBS. There are only one or two wakelocks for only a couple minutes each for twitter sync and things like that. How can it possibly be using that much battery in deep sleep? It's on CM10, but the problem only appeared after having it installed for several days. Normally I get maybe 2-5% use over my sleep period.
I thought deep sleep = deep sleep and it has a constant near-zero power consumption.
I've noticed a few people have complained about high standby data usage.. ie when you leave the phone on a desk, with nothing streaming, you still manage to use up 1-2mb per hour (as I was!). This is a big problem for people moving from something like a blackberry where it was hard to use up a lot of data even if you tried.I tried disabling as much as possible to see what was causing the problem (NetSentry was great for tracking usage but of course can't tell you which programs/services are using it up), and after exhausting all ideas I tried deleting the two non-GMail email accounts I had. On was set up as push Exchange, and the other a 15-minute polling POP account. I have to assume it was the Exchange that was the problem, but I can't be sure. In any case, my usage dropped from about 4MB over 3 hours to about 12kB for the last 3 hours since I disabled the accounts.In conclusion, email can be more of a problem than you think! I'm going to forward my other accounts through my GMail to see if that works better.

-Google backup, location, photo sync is OFF
This behavior happens even if the Apps such as IMDB, YOUTUBE, POWERAMP are force closed. I used Watch dog 3G so My Data Manager, but both of them just show "streaming media" as the process eating the data. As Youtube was noted in System data consumption I could set there Background data limitation, which worked a little bit, but the issue continues, like some other application would try to take over YT misbehavior
Yesterday the phone "streamed" like this 6GB of data on WIFI and almost 700 MB on mobile, last month with XT910, I lasted with 700 MB mobile data for more than 2 weeks.
my app takes about 5MB but on Kit-Kat it takes about 28MB (ram)...It doesn't work with graphics or pictures. The only picture that I have in the icon of the program, that I use as icon for the program and it also exits in notification(foreground service).

View 10 Replies View RelatedIn my app, I'm fetching data via HTTP and use the response string to create an ArrayList of objects. So what I'm doing once I get the response is:
String[] fields = response.split("<field>");
and use the field[] values like this:
ArrayList<Movie> movies = new ArrayList<Movie>(); for (int row = 1; row < fields.length; row += 9) { movies.add(new Movie(fields[row], fields[row + 1], ..., fields[row + 8]);
}
I have used /proc/meminfo and parsed command response.however it result shows that :
MemTotal: 94348 kB
MemFree: 5784 kB
means. it shows there is only 5MB free memory. Is it possible with android mobile? There is only 5-6 application installed on my mobile and no other task is running. but still this command shows there is very less free memory. Can somebody clarify this? or is there any other way of getting memory usage in android?

I am trying to get the memory usage for every application at different periods of time. I have checked the docs / threads / forums, and i only found that you can get the total available memory value, but i could not find in the sdk an api call for getting the memory used by a single application. I know that one way to do this is by reading the values from /proc/ <pid> virtual file system but this is painful for the device cpu. Can you help me figure out how to solve this problem ? Or does anyone know how settings -> applications -> manager applications read the memory usage values.

View 16 Replies View RelatedHow do I find out how much memory my openGL application is using at any given moment, including sounds, textures, and everything else? I've been wrestling with DDMS for hours and all it seems to show me is basic object allocation counts. I must be missing something, but I haven't had any luck searching. LONG VERSION: I've got an otherwise operational beta Android game which crashes out after a while on my device (Droid X). I'm fairly sure my problem is that my textures are not being properly cleared from memory. I'd like to confirm this fact before I start blindly making changes. My game does fairly frequent level transitions. During these transitions I typically dump a texture file, wait a bit, then load a new one.
Over time the application performance degrades. After 10 or so transitions frame rate starts to take a nose dive. 10 or so more and it usually dies. Prior to dying I see log messages like this: 08-23 12:26:58.038: DEBUG/Cursor(1265): fillWindow is not executed because Cursor object is closed. 08-23 12:27:27.186: INFO/ActivityManager(1239): Low Memory: No more background processes. And then eventually: 08-23 12:27:46.952: INFO/ActivityManager(1239): Process com.thup.lunchbox (pid 4927) has died. There are no specific error messages of any sort. I've got lots of ideas for things to try to fix this (e,g, glDeleteTextures), but I really want a way to measure before I start trying to fix.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy game - Tower Raiders - is continually floating fairly close to running out of bitmap memory. Unfortunately, I haven't found good information on profiling bitmap memory usage so that I can optimize / make informed decisions / add new content if it allows / etc.
I'm aware that bitmap memory is not heap memory, as it's allocated natively. But that it is accounted for somehow in the VM and influences garbage collection. Maybe it's an oversimplification of how bitmap memory works - but I'd like to find a tool etc or some way of determining I as the game is running right now, there are no more than X bytes of usable bitmap memory remaining.
So, if anyone has any advice etc that would help me in these respects I would greatly like to hear about a workflow for this.
I could swear I've never seen my memory usage this high but maybe I'm just imagining things today. 63% used, is that high?
