Hello all,
I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus, running CM 10.2.0. I had no problems until about 2 weeks ago.
I noticed that my phone got rather sluggish and I investigated what is going on. Looking at the list of running apps I immediately noticed that Google Play Services is using 130MB of memory instead of usual 30-40MB. By looking inside details of that process, I can see that the culprit is android.process.acore, which is using 84MB.
Similarly, looking at memory footprint using application OS Monitor, I see Search Applications Provider sitting on top of the memory usage list with 108.2 MB.
Restarting the phone gets everything back to normal for a while. I can trigger this problem reliably by going into Dialer app and calling someone. But even if I am not calling anyone, this issue seems to come back by itself. I am not sure, but maybe contacts synchronization?
It seems like Search/Contact provider is not releasing the resources and gets stuck.
What I tried so far:
-> freezing Search Applications Provider with Titanium backup. This solves the issue, but I lose Google Now functionality, which I would really like to keep using :/
-> deleting Search Applications Provider data - problem persisted
-> deleting Contacts and Contact Storage data - problem persisted
-> Disabled all categories that Search should be indexing in the phone - problem persisted
Please advise how to solve this issue. I have searched this forum, went through a lot of threads, but all I found was acore crashing, not acore using too much memory.
p.s. I am not an newbie, I know my way around android, linux, programming, debugging etc.
Thanks.
No one ? Please help, this is still an issue.

I'm using Illıum's ewallet (one of the major factors of me using WM), and my Rom is Energy Cookie 28Aug. version. Trough day, I've been using ewallet lots of time for account numbers, personal pass codes, card numbers etc. . Untill today I never faced a self closedown with this application, but today after I open it, just whilst reading a text it shuts itself suddenly without any warning. It happened 3-4 times, I did restart the device but it couldn't help. What could be the reason? Due to Rom or any other thing like settings or other tweak programs? This program is very important for me, and for this very reason I need your help.
same problem
I've installed the same ROM and also E-Wallet.
I have the same problem, after i deleted the empty wallet, i can use my own wallet. Somethimes it still closes itself, but not so often.
Is there a real posibility to solve this problem?
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many games are sluggish and run in frames, and it sometimes runs in frames on the homescreen. I have Android 4.0.4 from AOKP (aokp-crespo-milestone-5) and Matr1x (#11) kernel installed. Also, I had the same problem when running Android 2.3.6 and also Stock ICS both rooted and unrooted.
I discovered this problem when trying to play Asphalt 6. On a Samsung Galaxy S worked fine, but on the Nexus S it was going in frames. Since, I have seen many more games that have the same issue, any ideas?
Hi, maybe you should try Matr1x v22 BFS (Better than CFS for running games) should be good with 4.0.4
I played Asphalt 6 on my Nexus S and it was fine, as much as the Nexus S gets.
Do you have some services syncing with the network in the background? Sometimes, when the SD card is not responding properly, the device itself can get a little sluggish, so if a service is saving some data on the SD card in the background it could cause this.
Check the running applications menu to see what's there, try removing everything that is not necessary (syncing applications, social network apps, ad networks, etc.), and then try playing again.
A few times, I noticed that TweetDeck was causing this on my device. I had to manually close it so that games would be smooth, but it was a long time ago and I think this problem was resolved (am using TweakDeck now).

closed all apps in the background, no effect.
try this:
Save essential data from the SD card.
Format data, system, cache and boot. And then format sd card.
Reinstall everything back and see if it works better.
Anytime my Nexus S has been sluggish, I've used Android System Info (available on Google Play) to diagnose. Granted, it, like all other task manager style apps, will eat resources while running. However, under the Tasks tab, it will give you a list of each process and its MEM (RAM) and CPU usage. See if there are any processes that seem to be pulling too much CPU, or possibly too much MEM. It may be a constant issue that only shows when another resource-hungry process (i.e. Asphalt 6) competes for these valuable resources.
If you don't trust apps or don't wish to install any, it's possible to look at your battery usage. Although this is not a sure-fire nor exact method, it's possible that if you have a run-away process that's eating CPU, it could also be eating your battery as well. Have you noticed any major battery drain lately?
Since upgrading to lollipop I'd noticed a couple of small niggles with me Galaxy S5. As I've not had to rebuild my phone since purchasing it, I decided a factory reset wouldn't do any harm. Since resetting, Google play services keeps waking my GPS and searching for my location, this happens every few minutes unless I turn the GPS off. I've got all the usual Google stalking features turned off (Google now, location history, location reporting) but I've still got the same issue. I've even reset again and unticked the box to restore my user data... But still Google want to know where I am.
Any ideas how to resolve this one? It's a pain if I have to keep turning my GPS off when I'm not using it, especially when I had no issue prior to factory resetting.

It's more likely one or several of the myriad of apps/services on your phone. Do you have a weather app on your phone? Well, how's it going to know how the weather is, if it doesn't know where you are? Facebook by default wants to know where you are so when you post or send a message, it tells everybody where you are. Even apps like music streamers want to know where you are so they can tell you where you were when you heard something. Lots of apps that you wouldn't expect to use GPS in fact do. The vast majority of this data collection is completely innocuous and harmless, but you always have the option to disallow it. Or not use the app(s) as well; remember, it was you that granted the app GPS permissions when you installed it.

Thanks for your suggestion, I don't think it is another app though. Prior to resetting my phone the 2nd and 3rd time I uninstalled any suspect apps one by one to see which one was the culprit. In the end I just went through the entire apps list and uninstalled/disabled everything I could, it made the phone really unstable and practically unusable but still didn't stop Google Play Services using my GPS every few minutes.
Any other ideas?

how about "Android Device Manager " .. is that disabled?
There are a lot of guides about how to fix this. It isn't always the same service that is an issue...but you can try and disable some of the ones that are known to be problematic. For example see post #3 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785128

OK, my HTC M8s (stock ROM, no recent flashing mods) has been playing up lately, seemingly just battery issues.
Today however it rebooted, and it's just lost its sh*t. Apps that were moved to the SD card are now lost/not showing up, my call history is blank (but contacts, photo's and other data are OK), and apps that were seemingly all up to date have suddenly decided they need updating again - these are not new apps either, they're like old HTC apps that were not even in use, and I doubt have all suddenly been updated.
It looks to me like some "cache" or storage area on the phone has been zapped, and reset to like a new phone. But my data seems (mostly) to be there, and apps that I installed (to main memory) are OK too, although their settings seem to have gone too (eg: one banking app is asking to re-verify setup info)
I just re-downloaded an app that was missing, to get it back again. The app installed OK. Upon checking the app settings however, it had located it again on the SD card (I did not do this, it somehow "remembered" where it supposed to be from earlier), but the settings and data of the app were not restored/visible.
Google settings too, like Play Store preferences (don't put apps on home screen) have also been lost and app permissions seem to have also been reset (eg: mail needed me to allow access to this and that again)
Anyone else had this?! Any ways to fix it? Seems very freaky and worrying...
Dear XDA Forum!
first: yes i used the search function although i couldn't find a thread which addresses my issue in general, also i tried a few of the fixes regarding the notifications although it didn't solve my problem.
Phone: Doogee S88 Plus
OS: Android 10
I received this phone a while back and i'm pretty happy about it, although i noticed a very strange behaviour regarding nearly all apps.
Apperantly, every app that isn't a foreground app, will get killed or at least will not send notifications until they are opened which, you sure can think, is damn annoying.
Also, apps won't start with Android Auto, except Google Apps like News, calendar, maps and such. Spotify, Audible and every "external" apps will refuse to start on android auto until i open them manually on the phone, then they will show up on my car as well.
i checked the installed software and noticed a preinstalled energy saving app (which is funny with an 10Ah battery but well ) called com.cydroid.softmanager
Thinking this could be an issue i uninstalled/deactivated the app via ADB, although it didn't get better in any form.
And yes, of course i checked the battery optimization which is turned off for the usual apps which send notifications like Signal, Threema, Outlook, Authenticator and such
As i use Signal as my SMS/MMS app, i can say that i will not receive SMS/MMS notifications as well, i will receive them if i use the standard SMS app Messages though.
Also notifications in general are activated.
Maybe it has something to do with Doze? I'm currently at my wit's end.
I already thought about rooting the device, although it doesnt seems like that there is any rom out there for it, it has the option for OEM Bootloader unlock in the dev options though, but to be honest it's been a long while since i rooted android devices except from Samsung.
Hopefully you guys can help me!
Kind regards
**edit**
also i think it has to do with the background apps in general since foreground apps like my VPN (Cyberghost) will keep running without issues
also i noticed if i restart the phone all the apps will start correctly in the background, so it seems, since i'll get the notifications immediately
