i installed lot of apps.
one of the apps is using lot of cpu..and is causing the phone to lag crazily...how do i find which app is using maximum resources?
Either download "SpareParts" from the Market or use the built in battery monitor
Settings - About Phone - Battery Use
EDIT: Sorry I misread, I thought you meant which app was using the most battery, not CPU.

imagine running a heavy game such Crysis on your PC..and minimize it.
and now try to do other normal tasks.... notice how laggy and slow your pc becomes?
same is happening to my X10 since i installed tons of new apps..some important ..some useless.

icon changes after update
hi,
i have some games in a home screen folder.
when that game updates, then the icon in the folder looks the default android icon and not the original game/app icon, as before the update.
to get the game icon back, i have to delete that icon and then make another shortcut for that game and put it into the folder.
any other war to do this ?
will having less services running, extend the battery life ?
google maps always seems to be on as a service, though i havent used it in a long time. if i stop the service, it starts again.
which android services can be safely stopped ?
HTC Desire S, Sense UI 2.1, Android 2.3.3
thanks
Anyone has the same experience ?
+ 1 mate
my solution is just move .apk to internal mem
after that is ok
I rebooted and it fixed the icons issue.
Yes, fewer active services will improve battery.
Google maps is used for location services like weather, world clock etc. other apps that use location services.... So it comes back on no matter how many times you kill it, unless you totally turn off all network connections, which is no fun.

& also running less services does not improve your battery life as when a program is on RAM it doesn't use power
but if you kill services with task managers then they will start again which causes battery drain
I let the phone to update automatically, i dont move the apks myself.

For me, reboot does not refresh the icons, they still remain as the default android icon.
i can delete them and then make the app shortcut again, and then add to the folder, then the appropriate game icon is shown.

i do not kill processes myself. earlier i was using ATK, but then i removed it.
i just monitor the processes and services running in the background.
what u r saying about program being on RAM consuming no battery, is true. but what i was wondering was about services - which i believe dont just stay and idle in the RAM, but i think must be consuming some resources.
So i would like to know which android services can be safely shut down.

SPEED UP PHONE AND BOOST PERFORMANCE. On the new ics leak.
You must be rooted to do some of these tweeks..
1. Use titanium backup or the app of your choice to freeze or uninstall unwanted or misbehaving apps. You can find a list of apps that come preinstalled (bloatware) that is known to be safe to freeze or uninstall by searching the dev section.
2. Uninstall any and all task killers or task managers. After research I find they do more harm and slow down performance and kill battery life than they help. By freezing or uninstalling misbehaving apps in step one you don't have to worry about apps running in the background eating up your data. And besides ics has a really nice data manager built in.
3. Install apex launcher from the market. I can't explain why but using this launcher with ics instead of the stock tw launcher sped my phone up considerably and totally eliminated that little bit of lag that was in it when exiting apps and scrolling screens. Not to mention apex has a lot of freeking really cool features you can't do with the stock tw launcher. Like add another shortcut icon on the dock bar and the ability to scroll 5 dock bars full of shortcuts you can add. And the home screen allows for another whole row of icons and much much more. But best of it made my phone ALOT FREAKIN FASTER....
BATTERY DRAIN ISSUES.
I found going from gingerbread to ics was a bigger strain on my battery a way bigger strain. So far this trick has helped a lot but I'm still looking for other ways to go with this to improve it even more. So if you have any tricks up your sleeve feel free to post please. So here is what I've found so far...
I used rom manager from the market but I'm sure there are other free apps that can do this again far as I know you need to be rooted to do this...
1. Wipe battery stats. After installing any new rom or even updating an existing you should always wipe battery stats. This helped my phone tremendousley.
2. Find a app that monitors your battery stats. I use badass battery monitory. I don't like the name but it will tell you which apps are draining your battery and allow you to make necasarry changes. There is a free version on the market but I'm using the paid one.
I posted this info I've learned to maybe help someone else. It helped my phone a bunch but each phone is different and what works for one may not for another so I make no guarantees. For info on rooting see the link at the beginning of this thread it worked for me. Anyone that has learned other tweaks please post. And if this is in the wrong section I'm sorry. I just started using the app and not my pc to access xda and I'm trying to figure the app out still which is laid out weird and the search option just plain sux...

Why spam the forum with this in every section. Just put it in the battery stats thread
Because when I put it one section somebody says no put it there then I put there and someone says no put it there.. geez I put here and I'm trying to figure out how to remove it from the other section so give me a minute

all of this is known info, and is incorporated i to pretty mch every custom rom. I highly recommend people stay away from. the oneclick ics, but this is still good work op, thanx.

Are you using any battery saving apps?
and also ICS task manager does not do anything when you swipe the apps of, I am using 360 Launcher it's as smooth as ever, it has build in cleaner that brings the memory usage to 29-31% that is with major apps I use excluded from clean. On the other hand not using anything will have your ROM running at about 380M at boot and 450M+ then on after you use something, even after freezing things.
P.S. I agree not using another task killers, but the one in 360 it's just like the build in one in the ROM, when you press clean memory, just has a widget.
! One more suggestion, using System Turner or Rom Toolbox, remove apps from start up, that you don;t need at boot.
When I said task killers of course i meant those you download from the market not the stock one on the phone. Sorry of I confused anyone but I did not remove the stock one but the two I had downloaded and installed from the market. I have rom manager and I'll try that tip thanks and sorry for the confusion

can anyone explain me what are the differences, should i use 1 of programs or both, which is better one?
Greenify halts apps from running and misbehaving in the background. Things like battery doctor manage the hardware settings like screen brightness and WiFi settings. Most of the things done by something like battery doctor can be done (perhaps better) just setting things manually. You can run both though. Greenify is probably more important in my opinion but they do different things.

Greenify is much better then battery doctor as greenify stops apps to run in background which means that cpu will consume less energy thus reducing battery usage. Greenify also improves performance

Yup, you can say that again. Greenify will prevent an app to run in background after you've finished. Look at this link: http://lifehacker.com/greenify-auto-hibernates-apps-youre-not-using-to-save-513922193

Greenify
Greenify is better in my opinion. But to utilise its full potential you'll need to root your phone although there is a new version which works on non-rooted devices. It makes the phone faster by reducing Ram usage also because once you exit the app Greenify hibernates it so it doesnt hog the Ram.

because can hibernate apps that you wont running in background
so it can make your phone faster

Here is some suggestions
Delete unwanted system apps
Use battery saver apps from playstore
Reduce phone usage
Decrease brightness
Flash new rom
Underclock device or try new kernel .
Hitting thanks button is much easier than typing thanks .

He's right, removing unwanted apps will help, especially if they are running in the background. I'd also check how often apps like Facebook, Twitter, emails etc check for updates or sync. Using automatic brightness levels (decreasing brightness) or power saver modes will also help. Reducing phone useage sounds funny, but he's correct. If you are constantly playing games or streaming media online your battery is going to run out fast. Try to use wifi rather than your data connection. If you root your device and flash a custom rom, it'll probably increase your battery life as well. All the top dev's tweak their roms to increase battery life. Hope this helps
Avoid CPU intensive applications, dim your screen, put your tablet / phone in stand by when you are not using it or background downloading an application, if you are using an application that does not require wifi, such as a game like Angry Birds or mupen 64 plus disable it if you're listening to music , turn down the volume just a little bit. All these things should increase your battery life hope that helped update 11 -3- 15 though I've never actually tried custom roms I read and seen on YouTube that some custom ROMs like the highly popular CyanogenMod have loads of battery saving features. I wish you the best.

It frequently reloads apps and I'm using stock OxygenOS 5.1.11 but I have been facing this issue in previous versions too. It doesn't even hold 5 apps in memory and redraws few apps every time out of these 5. When I open the Camera app, every app reloads. I'm very dissatisfied with this poor RAM management while my Redmi Note 3 performs better in this category
I'm not sure how many apps mine holds in background, but it's alot. Not sure how many days.. But more than one..
Are you sure you don't have any battery saving apps? I know greenify kills background apps as an example.
I don't have any battery saving apps. My phone is rooted with magisk and it's having an unlocked bootloader. I'm feeling very bad with my phone's performance.
Mine too. But I still don't face this issue.
Do you have the same 6GB RAM variant?
8gb here. 6gb shouldn't be that bad I feel :s
It's worse than a budget mobile
I am sure you can sell it for a good.price and get a budget mobile instead... (I also had a redmi note 3 - and for me the two phones do not compare at all. The redmi is ok - but it is much inferior in all aspects)
Personally I am very pleased with the phone and have no ram issues whatsoever
I use greenify and I regularly (by choice) dump all apps and I still have a very fast experience . Why does it bother you? Does it make your phone slow(er)?

time for some testing. Do you have any of stock oos battery saving features turned on. like Advance optimization, that is know to kill apps as soon as you leave them.
Oh yes, I have it turned on. I have turned it off now, I'll test it and report!

what mods do you have installed and are you a lite, median, heavy user.
For me, i'm a lite user with less then 80 apps installed. One charge for me last between 3 to 5 days. Thats on Pie beta 2 as well.
Medium user, I generally switch between Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Reddit and Gmail. Surprisingly these reload everytime. My battery lasts a full day on LTE.
OOS definitely kills background apps regardless of the available memory.
Go to battery optimization, select the app which you need to keep running in the background, and selct Don't optimize. You shall be able to disable optimization for user apps only(system apps won't be listed).
[Update] I have disabled advanced optimisation and dirty flashed OOS Rom and voila, OnePlus 6 is the speed you need!
Editing build.prop might do the trick

I was having similar issues until I figure out these settings. Was using Nexus/Pixel/HTC before and they don't have such aggressive background controls.
Some apps don't behave well and keep waking up, so I do understand the point of these controls. Personally I choose to do it by my self using apps like Brevent/Greenify so I have more controls.
