General :: How To Identify Rouge App Hogging Memory
Dec 17, 2012
My Verizon Galaxy Nexus has been running very very slow lately. I'm running AOKP last stable JB build and the RAM bar at the 'recent apps' screen show "665MB used - 30MB Free" most of the times. Even if I 'Kill all apps" from that screen, Free memory doesn't go higher than 42MB ever. I did google search with different keywords but all of them are returning only 'task killer' apps, which I believe don't actually do much good. In theory, Android does memory management on its own and release required memory automatically when a new app needs it. But I'm guessing there's some rouge app in my device which is always reporting "hey, I'm using this memory" and not letting Android reclaim it.
So, I'm looking for an app that can identify which app is using how much of ram at any given time. And maybe how much of CPU time etc... so that I can identify which app is bringing my device to its knees.

I have developed a simple application before testing it i want to check whether any memory leaks are there in the application. I don't know how to identify the leaks in Android. I am using Eclipse IDE for development. Is there a good introduction into finding memory leaks in Android apps somewhere?

I have a Droid X, and I got a nasty surprise after using it for a couple of weeks: I had gone through over 10 GB (not a typo) of bandwidth already, and earned a friendly call from Verizon telling me to shape up or they'd terminate my contract. Since then I've been running with background data turned off (settings -> data manager -> data delivery -> unchecked background data.) This works nicely and keeps my bandwidth down to usually a megabyte or so per day, preserves the battery, etc, but it seems like overkill. What I really want to find out is what was using so much bandwidth to begin with, and find a way to let my well-behaved apps run and update themselves, etc while preventing these bad ones from running. Anyone know of a way to track bandwidth usage on an app by app basis? Is that even possible? Or, has anyone else run into a similar problem and found a way to solve it?

Not that it might matter, but I have a galaxy S4. Had it for awhile and pretty much run the standard apps I always have even on my old bionic without issues. In the last few weeks I started noticing a sort of pop up ad. It only shows a few times during the day and only right after I unlock my screen.
So far I have uninstalled the last few apps I put on and no luck. Even though these apps are ones I have used in the past with no issues. All my apps are from the google play store too.
I put Avast on it and it reports no viruses. I installed Lookout Ad Network Detector and it doesn't find anything.
This is a full screen ad, not in the notification panel. Most of the time it shows a Kindle Fire ad. I just hit the back button and it goes away.
I did visit winrar.com using firefox which might be a fake site for the real rarlabs.com which make winrar. Other than that I can't really think of anything I might have done to cause this.
I have gone through most of my apps looking at settings to see if any have options for ads and no luck.

I'm new to android phone. When I bought my phone, the mobile store gave me some apps including paid for a deal price from dealers. But I found some apps having a prefix in their file name which on googling I found they are piracy developers. But many of other apps provided by them are already free apps from google play. But some are paid apps, for example, AVG mobile antivirus pro. The file is doesn't have any prefix. Is there any way to find if its genuine or not?

we already got a battery meter in android 4.2.2, and it can tell if something is keeping the phone awake.For example, it shows that the "Android OS" is keep the system awake for 10 hours, but it can not tell me which app is holding some wake locks or wakes the phone frequently.I also installed Better BatteryStats, under Kernel Wakelock, it shows that the gps_lock is holding for 10 hours, but also not related to any app.

Im creating a mail application, where i need to start a service instance for every account, which will check for the new mails for that account. Now my problem is that i want to identify how my service i have created so far (by calling startService()). And also i want to stop a specific instance of service. I know that calling stopService() will stop all the instances of that service. Is there any work around to it.

Can anyone tell me the Android app that can identify your location and tell you what is around?
As in gas stations, food places, movie theaters, etc (3D). It was displayed on a commercial for VZW not too long ago, and I cannot find it on the Android Market place. I got my Incredible yesterday, and I love it.

I have a ListView displays information about an object. When I click a ListView Item, I open an Activity that let's me manipulate parameters of the object held in the adapter. These parameters are updated and stored remotely.
When I return to the ListView (via the back button), I want to update the ListView Item that I clicked originally by requesting the parameter values from the remote server.
I am currently doing this up updating the entire ListView by clearing it and rebuilding it.
How do I reference the ListView Item so that I can update the data for that item only?

The Desire I obtained from the local 3 Store came in a standard HTC Desire box with no special marking and just the standard HTC quick start guide. I just had a thought that it might be unlocked so I tried Orange, Vodafone and O2 PAYG SIMs. All seem to work giving me phone service but not data. The box is marked HTC Desire A8181. Am I correct in thnking it is unlocked?

Hopefully i'm not asking anything obvious here.Basically I worked out that my HTC cable which came with my handset charges a lot quicker than the ebay ones I bought. I did some testing and initially I thought the spare 1000mA adaptor I bought was at fault. I only got about 6% charge per 30 mins. But then I tried the same adaptor with my HTC cable, and it gave me 15% in 30 mins.So I want to buy a spare cable, but I don't know how to tell the difference. Anyone able to explain, or direct me to a cable?

I searched many forums but there seems to be no clear way to identify the screen type other than by eye. Clue #1: The box has no mention of AMOLED. Clue #2: P/N is 99HKZ009-00 Clue #3: Made in China Clue #4: Unbranded, unlocked phone bought from a US retailer. My plan is to root. According to what I've read so far, the method depends on the type of screen, SLCD or AMOLED. I need to know for sure, so as not to brick the phone.

Not sure whether it happens to any other user of x10 or not. I bought the x10 last week and found out there's a huge battery life problem. Thus I called SE customer service and they suggested me to do the update via SE website. I downloaded the update and followed the instruction. Unplug the battery for at least 5 sec and put it back, then put plug in the USB cable to my laptop and connect it to the x10. But then it popped a msg ' cannot identify your phone, please disconnect and try again'. I tried it for 7 times and it still has the same message.

How should I go about identifying an android user to a server.
Should I get the IMSI number and some salting algorithm?
Considering androids space and performance limitations is there a library that isn't too heavy that I can use to do the calculation?

Can anyone give an idea how to identify the views part of the active screen[i.e current running activity on the phone].
E.g after launching uiEditContactActivity,how can I identify the views [ several fields, buttons etc] part of that screen.
I am trying to modify monkey, such that for creating a contact, it should launch Edit Contacts Activity and fill the respective views [name, number etc].

I am planning to buy a factory unlocked milestone in India and use it on a gsm network .(vodafone India)
My question is that the how do know if its a factory unlocked milestone and not unlocked version from a european/canadian carrier( like a jailbroken iphone ).
Most dealers here sell it without a box so checking the box is not an option and most stores will not allow me to use it before buying .
So based on the external physical appearance how can i tell if its a factory unlocked milestone ?
Are there any physical differences between a droid and a milestone ?

Is there a way I can identify a handset on the server side of an HTTP request? I realize many headers are included on the request, but I am uncertain as to how the handset might be uniquely identified? Perhaps the Sim signature or some such fingerprint?

The Nuance program on my Samsung Moment recognizes everything I say except for the word "yes". For example when I say, "Call Candace" it asks, "Did you say 'Call Candace?'" and when I say "Yes", it waits for a moment then goes back to my home screen. If I say, "No", it proceeds to the next name that sounds like what I said. If I say "Yes" to the next name, it closes Nuance and goes back to my home screen. I have gone through the Adapt process. Sprint has tried to fix it and ended up giving me a new phone. Samsung has been stumped by this.

In the implementation of my remote service's published API, is there a way to identify which client called a given method? For example, is there a way to obtain a unique ID or address of the caller? I already cache an AIDL callback reference to the client, but not sure how I can use this for identification.
