App = batt drain?

So today I downloaded a variety of apps, from the market as well as from unknown sources. It seems like the battery is draining a little faster than normal, is there any way I could check if an app is causing this?
Also, this might sound stupid but do viruses/malware exist out there for Android phones and if so, how would I go about findng out whether or not my phone is potentially infected?
Thanks in advance.

Lmao. That was awesome.
HTC420, what ROM are you using? Stock or custom? If custom, what flavor? Many have a built in battery use feature that will tell you what percentage each app uses. The stock ROM might have even had that, though I haven't run it in ages. Dig around in Settings.

Browser won't load anything?

Running CM7 stable, No matter what I do I cannot get anything to load up in the browser, But I known that data is working as I can use the market and twitter/facebook/g+
Also the XDA app works just fine also so it is certainly limited to the browser.

[APP] Live Logcat by ChainFire

Hey everybody,
Just wanted to bring your attention to an awesome app for all you freshly rooted One X users.
The app is called "Live Logcat" by Chainfire and its function is extremely unique. Instead of a boring HTC splash screen and some tiny colored bubbles when you turn your phone on, you'll be greeted with a peek into the complex coding that is your boot process. Not sure what I mean? Well with this app you'll have a realtime view of what your phone is doing as you start it up.
This app is a treat! Load it up once and hit install, then reboot and watch the magic. You can also add in Chainfire's similar app "Live Dmesg" which adds the functionality of seeing what the hardware is doing at boot up too. You can configure what you want the view to look like in the app, and remove copyright information with the awesome (and cheap) pro version.
I've used this app on my previous HTC phones and I was heartbroken when it didn't work on my G2x. Now with the One X my best purchase is now useful again, and it's still got the gusto.
All rooted users can hit up this link to go to the play store. You will see the mentioned apps on this page. I am in no way affiliated or reimbursed by Chainfire, he is just an awesome dev who happens to make the most unique and useful apps.
Enjoy

That's odd, I had no problems at all. Are you on stock or a custom Rom?

Rebooted to a black screen with capacitive buttons for a minute, after about 2 minutes I got the HTC splash screen and it seemed like it was bootlooping so as soon as I hit the power button to get into recovery I saw the logcat come up. So I waited for that to finish (which took forever, 2 minutes at least) when it finally booted up my phone app fc'd constantly. I'm sure it was one of many tweaks I've applied that was conflicting.
Does this shorten boot up times for you? If so I'll probably give it another go.

Doesn't seem to work on the Asus Transformer Prime (TF201). I simply don't get any output during booting... it does boot up btw, you just don't see anything (just a black screen).
Cool idea though

XDA App issues

Quite simply, is anyone else having issues with the app? I'm talking about the Play Store app, not through Tapatalk. Probably been almost a week it seems very goofy. Every other app on my phone works fine. Android Central works flawless (in comparison) but not XDA
Just trying to see if I'm not alone.

I agree, minor, frustrating but annoying too. Haha. My pm box has been useless today for a few hours. In the last few days it's been hit or miss. Plus content takes forever to load sometimes, even the latest posts when you open the app.

I get a problem with the app where if I click the next page button it sometimes takes 30 seconds to register. Only been getting that for the last month or so.

Try scrolling up and down the thread it will jump to the next page. Does the same to me we need a android native app for xda. I hate to say this but even FB is better nowadays.

Xda app has always had some minor glitches ever since I used it. I found that they mostly pop up after restoring apps on a new ROM. So what I do is just uninstall it and reinstall fresh and everything works good again, mostly.

See I guessed the same thing and it still doesn't work for me. I nailed down too that one specific message in my PM box will FC the app. Weird. I had to go on my laptop to check and delete it. Online works perfect but the app has just been strange lately. At least for the most part the forum loads and I don't get FC issues but issues still persist.
I'm enjoying this community here so much I check often, sucks when the app is malfunctioning.

Now that you mention PM box, reminded me that mine fcs leaving it.:-\

For those having issues accessing their pm box, what I usually do is go to my profile the my posts and then click on a post (any). Then back out then got to pm box. Usually works. I know it's ridiculous to have to that but it's a work around. It may not work for everyone but I hardly ever have force closes that way. Just fyi.

You want odd? I deleted one pm from my profile by using my laptop since I couldn't access it through the app and now I have no issues with FC. However, I still have other issues.

Whoa that's stupid lol yeah I have other issues too. Like when I get a notification from the xda app I click on it and it opens the app then loads to infinity. But the pm bug is THE most annoying by far...

Didn't show up for me within the app store on my phone, but found it in the playstore on PC and used the 'send to phone' feature to install it.
Intrigued as to whether this will intelligently save battery power or just shut down functionality of the phone.

here it is
