Hey everyone I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 that has been rooted and flashed with Liquid Smooth Jelly Bean.
Originally on Stock Rom (GIngerbread) It ran smooth and never really went above 600-700mb but after I flashed it, It will stay at about 600 for a while but it will slowly get higher and higher until it is at 1.5k and things will freeze and it will crash. I won't even be using it, it will be sitting idle and the next thing I know its risen to maximum capacity. I never had that problem on Stock Rom so I am wondering if it is something to do with the Roms. I've tried CM10, Liquid Smooth, and Codename and it happens with all of them. I've flashed stock aand re-rooted and everything between roms so I had a fresh start but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
Stock Gingerbread? We were never on gingerbread, just ICS. Which we are still on officially...
After you have opened a few processes and exited them do you hold down the home button until the task manager thingy pops up and then kill the ones you don't need off? If not that may be why. I have had to do that even on stock because if I forgot to kill them my phone would freeze and start crashing all kinds of stuff. On my old RAZR when I exited apps they would close after 5 or so minutes but I have found that isn't the case on the GS3.

Using back button to exit apps kill them and leave them in multitask as recent apps but they are not running. Using home button moves them to multitask as running apps and are active for multitasking. Exit with home will eat battery and memory.
I know all about killing the apps and the App Managing System. There are no open apps and not but 6 system processes running all about 10mb yet it still skyrockets and then crashes. for the time being I went back to stock rom to see if the problem persists, which if it does then i can assume its a factory defect.. But so far its not giving me any problems on stock

Never seen it but I stay away from CM and AOKP. Too many problems, too many broke features and too many bricked phones for me. LOL
I think i figured it out. I got rid of all my GoCalendar,GoSMS,GoClock, and GoTaskManager Widgets and it seems to be running very nicely. Those were the only things that could have possibly been robbing juice from my phone and it looks like they were indeed the culprit. Thats unfortunate though because I really liked having those widgets :crying:
So i was wrong and it still persists. Here's a screenshot of Go Task Manager where it says only 3 processes are running yet its at 93% capacity.. I have no idea whats going on and I really need help with this.

Okay so apperently its the Media Storage Process that is killing my memory. for most people it just kills thier battery but mine has been having an adverse affect on my processing power and RAM. But glad its figured out incase anyone else has the same problem as me. They should really post that somewhere on the OP of the Jellybean ROMs because its kind of a big deal...

Hello XDA-members,
I hope you can help me, I've been browsing this forum for quite a while now and I actually am rather optimistic looking at the high amount of leet tweakorz populating this place :> Shouldn't cheer too early though.
I've got some details which might be required in order to analyse the situation.
About a week ago, I downgraded to stock Milestone EU ROM 2.1, coming from the G.O.T. 2.2.1 custom rom, due to the power drainage which I thought was the price of the custom ROM.
I browsed around the interwebz in order to find a custom froyo rom not sucking ma powaz, but in fact I found out that the power drainage could be caused by failing to clean out the cache (including dalvik, etc) before flashing a custom rom. So, before I installed the stock ROM, I made sure I properly did this, after the installation I cleaned it again and then installed the G.O.T. 2.2.1 again , through the new OpenRecovery v2.0.1. Rooted it, installed the custom theme they included with the ROM, and overclocked it to I think 800 Mhz.
After this, everything worked fine for about 1,5 weeks, although I noticed it started to suck power again (60% gone in a night of a nice, cozy, sleepy rest without any applications, wi-fi or 3g connection on background), so I did something incredibly stupid. Still a bit sleep-drunk, I went into the openrecovery menu and cleaned the cache, dalvik and (I think it's) clear settings.
After rebooting, I noticed the theme that GOT included was replaced for the standard layout for froyo. Also, the device was barely responding to my commands, for about 5 minutes. I rebooted it, and after about a minute of processing it worked fine.
I didn't get to know if this was actually increasing battery life again, because I went to sleep yesterday night with the phone having about 40%, and this morning I woke up and the phone was empty (at least, so I thought). A few hours ago I connected it to the charger, later I found that the phone wouldn't power up anymore. It simply doesn't react to the power button, screen doesn't show power or anything. I also tried power button in combination with x, or camera, but both methods didn't do anything as well.
So, that was it. Maybe those were a bit too much details. TL;DR: I installed a custom rom, cleaned out all the cache, and my phone won't start up anymore. I hope anyone knows this problem, and possibly a solution?
Thanks for reading, Bullehr
Men i have the same problem with my girlfriend milestone .
Try to take out the battery for a minute and then put it back again, that's do the trick for me .
Sorry for my English it's not my native language
The problem generally is given by the fact that the phone needs some power to "boot" in power charging mode. What you need is a second battery, or a little trick to charge the battery...

I cut an usb cable and used it directly on battery-phone contacts
I have had my Nexus S since Christmas. I love it! It is my 5th Android phone and by far the best, up until a couple of days ago I had not experienced any lag at all with the phone.
However recently the phone has been laggy, the back button seems to get stuck (with the backlight off) and it is starting to get unresponsive.
I am trying to work out what is wrong and I wonder if I have installed too many apps... I have >100 including lots of games. Almost all are installed to the SD card.
Could this be the cause of my problems?
Why would anyone install 100 game? I have well let me look hold.
1min later 423 games on SD thats close to 1.91gb but I only install 2-3games and when I finish I install another. Also your problem is you don't have BS service disabled which you should do and make sure they don't restart after shutdown on boot.
To be fair, of the >100 apps, i would say 30 are games
What is BS Service and how can I stop apps from starting automatically after reboot?
Huh Samsung failed again as Google supported them supplying folks with 512mb ram in 2011 talk about still unofficial stand on post mid2010 standard for new 2011 era. You wish you had that extra bit of ram now didn't ya
Anyways well you can use apps like Autostarts or Startup Auditor to disable service on boot/fc on restart. BS service lol well I think you know what "BS" means just disable anything you don't need which may be diff from person to person which is only what you know.

i'll not be surprised at all, as i have just well over 377 apps/games installed
games usually take most of the space, as it needs to download additional files from the net
i have to constantly keep deleting stuff to make space for more games / apps
i'll say 70% of my space is utilized by games, and 30% by apps
in which they are both shared by MP3 collection and MTV clips collection, as there is simply not enough space for movies

Do you find that the performance of your phone has reduced as you have added more apps/games?

nope
i have 4 screen of widgets in the launcher desktop
and the only thing i would consider lag (because all the apps were moved to SD) is the ICON loading time, but it doesn't slowdown the launcher, it just shows with the default green AOS icon instead of the pretty ones
using GO Launcher EX as my default, more features than LauncherPRO / ADW yet faster and FREE!
same with GO SMS
both offers great skin capabilities, and lots of FREE themes (skins) to download
Generally, lag is a result of a poorly coded app sucking your processing power down the drain.
I have uninstalled a load of apps and everything is now running smoothly again.
Just need to figure out which one is causing the problem now...
Thanks guys
I was checking what apps consumes RAM from my galaxy nexus (running android 4.3, franco kernel), as there was a case when my available RAM went down to as low as 2MB!! So as expected, almost all applications get killed after removing them from foreground (including Launcher).
I checked System Monitor, and there were "apps" named Thread-xxxx consuming RAM. At one time, I noticed they were consuming around 80+MB to 90+MB. In the screenshot I attached, there are three Thread-xxx consuming around 50+MB each.

Can anyone explain what are they for? They are not apps that can be "force closed", tapping on them doesn't do anything in system monitor.
They seem to free their consumed RAM after restart. So if I'm running out of RAM, i only need to restart my phone. Any other way to free their RAM without restarting?
Please tell me what other info I need to provide.. Thanks!
By the way, these Thread-xxxx processes appears only when the option "Show system processes" is checked.
I was again able to get a screenshot with those processes consuming RAM. Can't seem to find a way to free ram other than reboot.

Thanks for taking time to reply,
but I need to know, on a user perspective, how do I kill those threads?
I'm not doing any app development.
I was trying to see whether one app is causing this problem. The first one I checked is Skype.
I didn't turn it on for 2 to 3 days, and no Sign of those Thread processes.. Until I made a video call with Hangouts, immediately after the video conference these Thread processes showed up again. See the attachment. It started with only one (the 70MB) then this morning there were two of them.

I tried going back to Stock Kernel to see whether I'll see any RAM problems, but after almost a week of using stock kernel, I haven't experienced any of these problems. But i miss my good battery life with this kernel..
by the way, after reboot, I don't have these Thread-xxx processes, but after a few hours they start to show up (see the attached image). They're all 20+ processes. Although right now they don't consume RAM yet.
I hope somebody can give me a hint as to what these are. Googling is no use. Or at least a good keyword to use will also be fine.

So I now have a Moto G 4G and previously had a Moto G dual sim and a s3 mini, all with 1GB of ram...
However, there is something seriously wrong with the ram on the moto G... The minfree is set to 300 MB and the phone gets to that point as a constant after about 2-3 days, making everything redraw worse than my optimus one...
I attached some screenshots...
Also, my cousin's nexus 4, with 2 gigs of ram, heavily bloated with useless background running apps by him, always has 1.5 gigs free ram... Can anyone figure this out? Is this happening in custom ROMs too?

I have a Moto G 3G and I didn't face the issue you're pointing out at all. Are you using some kind of task killers or memory management apps? In case you do stop using them and let Android the way is ment to be working. You didn't mention anything in particular so my advice, for now, is reset it from recovery and see what appens. Good luck!

No task killer, and resetting doesn't work, did that a lot of times on the 3G version... Even changed firmwares... Always the same.
My problem is that chrome treats tabs as background processes, so when I run low on ram, they close even when on foreground....

I'm running greenify in boost mode only, no task killers, along with a ton of kids games, on my kids' moto g.
Some games will only play one time, and have to have data cleared to be playable again as restarting or clearing cache doesn't work.
Some other games are extremely laggy, or have frequent freezes/pauses in the middle of playing, or the touch becomes unresponsive.
Watching videos in youtube works fine for about 4 or 5 videos before they start to get choppy or it'll just crash back to homescreen.
It happened on stock rooted.
It's happening on newest Gummy.
I seriously have no idea what to do to fix this, and just told the kids to deal with it.
Hey guys in the past week my XZ has been having some serious overheating issues. Even just idling at the home screen it sits at around 40-45c. It seriously makes the phone unusable since when you open anything it just warms up quick and throttles hard. I was thinking it was the last patch that came out so I unlocked the bootloader and tried out a couple of roms like carbon rom which was buggy as hell and slimbit aosp. No improvement. Tried out eXistenZ 6.0 which is what im still on now and no improvement. I honestly have no clue whats going on if anyone can help me that'd be great. Do you guys think my battery could be needing replacement? The phone isint even a year old. I have also tried the FSCv2 mod and still no improvement.

Change habit that after clean flash instantly install everything that exists in the playstore , especially various CPU/memory/battery monitors.
Install one aplication at a time until you find the problem.
btw, carbonrom Is excellent rom like all the other AOSP ROMs for the XZ

I don't think its a certain app I installed since it just started happening out of nowhere after no new apps have been installed. Android battery menu doesn't show any excessive battery drain from apps either. Even after I did a clean flash it was getting super hot and throttled in the setup process.
*Edit* It actually got to 50c while simply replying to your reply in Chrome and lagged tf out of my keyboard. Literally about to throw this phone at a wall.
So I've undervolted the cpu and the phone still reached 53c after browsing Instagram for about a couple minutes. Im seriously loosing my **** at this point. Im seriously thinking that this phone needs a new battery or something even tho its less than a year old.
Update. Did a fresh install of stock rom using flashtool and it throttled during the setup process and still throttles with no apps just trying to send a text message or simply play a song using google play music. Seriously nobody has a clue what is going on? I literally have to have my phone next to a fan just to do anything on it.
I discovered that my battery is only at 38c usualy so I think its safe to say that my battery is okay. My cpu is constantly pinned at 45+ and I only get about 3-4 hours out of a full charge. Did google play services get an update or something? I have no apps installed in my phone still. I seriously need any help
