....appart from xmatrix_BatteryMemoryMeter is there another app that monitors and analyses ram usage.....
Found this app which i think is simply outstanding
BattClock 2.1.2
So before I get told to search, I did, but nothing seemed to really answer my question.
Can anyone recommend a good app that will monitor (and preferably log) CPU usages broken down into specific apps?
I've finally got my phone modded the way I think I'll love for the duration of my contract (or at least until another phone is released that I want), but since my phone is a Desire Z it's not exactly the fastest thing ever. Anyway, I just want to ensure there aren't any specific programs or widgets that are a little CPU hungry, that way if there are, I can replace them with more lightweight ones. As well, since memory usage doesn't affect battery life nearly as much as CPU cycles I'm primarily concerned with the CPU.
Sorry for the long ramble.
An app called system panel can log the cpu usage of individual apps among other things. There is a free lite version but it only shows the current usage.

Thanks man! Now I can finally see which of my programs has been draining my battery
Another similar monitoring app i think is called watchdog task manager. There's a free (lite) and a paid version.
Five years after, same issue for me.
Sometimes I feel the phone is hot and using systempanel usually I find an app draining my cpu (Weather Underground is one of the culprits, for example).
I would like to find a lightweight cpu monitoring app with a notification service to warn me when an app is hogging the cpu, what do you suggest? The watchdog app suggested in this thread is not updated since 2012 and just crashes on my OPO on CM13.
Thank you.

Well, for one don't use weather underground it causes issues in cm for some reason. (Believe me, I have CM13 on my device just like you). But get the yahoo weather provider (it won't cause you harm) But is there more than one app that is a culprit of this?

Thank you for your answer, there is as least one more app but it's related to an Italian news site, my primary news source so I cannot delete it. I did not mention it because it's unknown outside Italy.
Hi.
Probably a dumb question especially as I should know this after doing a IT course but is closing apps from the recent apps list a badish thing?
WIth windows I'm used to closing apps to free up RAM for other programs but I've recently found out that android doesn't work like this and it's best to keep the apps in the recents list for faster loading etc. While this makes sense and I have obviously noticed that apps will load faster if they're in the recent apps list but does this not have an effect on cpu or battery life?
Just need some clarification as how how android manages it's RAM compared to windows and whether it has a negative effect on performance if you leave apps in the recents list.
Closing recent apps is no problem at all. If you openend an app (e.g. facebook) and you don't want to use it anymore, you can close it easily to free up your ram. Otherwise they keep in your ram. Of course your recent apps load faster this way, if they aren't to many. The more apps run in background, the more runs your phone slower. In that case, Android closes "big" apps automaticly.
When you're using several apps at the same time, you can switch easily through these recent apps.
If you don't use your phone at the moment, you can just close them.
I think you mean something like task killer apps. These aren't really quite good because Android handles this already very well.

hi.
there are five catagories in which i devide the android device into (baaed on ram and battery)
1-- low end device (less than 756 mb ram)
generally have a 1800 mah battery or less with a max of 1.2 ghz dual core processor. in these devices using 3g with two apps in background drains your battery like hell.
recommoded to kill apps in background.
2-- low average end device (756 mb of ram)
generally have a 2300 mah battery with 1.4 ghz quad core processor. in these devices using 3g with two apps in backgtound will give a 6 to 8 hours battery backup. but if apps goes more than two it starts heating and battery brains a lil faster. but to play a hardcore game you still have to close 3g and all apps forcefulley.
3-- mid end devices (1 or 1.5 gb of ram)
generally have a 3000 mah battery with 1.4 to 1.5 ghz quad core processor. in these devices using 3g with two apps in background will give 10 hours of battery backup. open max of 5 apps in backgroung will not effect performance and battery backup much. to play high end games again have to close all apps.
4-- mid high end devices (2 gb of ram)
generally with 4000 mah battery with 2 ghz octa core processor. in these devices using 3g with two apps in background will give a 10 to 12 hours of battery backup. open as many apps in background will not effect battery life and performance much. to play games not more than two apps should run in backgtound.
5-- high end devices (2.5 to 3 gb of ram)
generally with a 5000 to 6000 mah battery with 2.5 ghz octa core processor. in these devices apps in background do not effect battery life or performance. on 3g gives a 1 to 1.5 days battery backup. play games with no lag.
if this helped hit thanks.
exceptions are n all over the world. exception is law of nature.

Greenify.. Look it up
He is not looking for amy app.
He just wants to understand what to do to get more perfrmance or more free ram on any devices.
Just want to understand.

See android too works with processes and everything, you have foreground apps and background apps and what not..
To speed up, check which app has a service which stays alive all the time, then you travel to Settings>>Apps>>Running
Here see the Ram usage stop processes that you feel u dont need at that time. And then enjot
Thank me if i helped ... ?
Good method

Hi all.
Are there anyway to check the CPU use apps information? Like which app use, amount of usage etc? Because I can see there's higher CPU usage in my Galaxy S5 SM-G900F.
I am looking for a way to restrict the bandwidth quality to an app: Example below
I have playstation Vue app install on my Android phone and its eating up my data so I thought I could restrict the bandwidth settings to max of say 500kbps to an app. How would one go about doing this?
Do we have a app out there that can restrict the speed of the bandwidth so to say?
