Memory leak? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody have feeling of huge memory leak?
My phone killed every app and sometimes even killed activities until reboot.

If you're on 5.0, then yes, everyone has it. Well known about.

Read about it extensively here but can't say I suffer from it myself.

I've had the launcher redraw itself once, and that was after 4 days uptime. Other than that it's been fine for me too
Whether this is because I keep all apps cleared when not in use I don't know though

I'm guessing not because I never clear anything. But certainly my most recent handful of apps when brought back from recents all seem to open back up in their cached states instantaneously. I also can't see any evidence of memory leak when looking at RAM info.
I don't use GEL so cannot attest to any redraws there.

i use GEL, but see 0 evidence on my nexus 5 of a memory leak. no redraws, my recents always bring me back to where i was, browser stays in memory, and have plenty of free ram hanging around.

Same here. Not a SINGLE launcher redraw unless I purposefully killed it for whatever reason. Always have a large amount of RAM free. Don't know what people are complaining about lol.

my guess its their setups, or what they are using(apps, rom, kernel, whatever).

I'm on stock, and it's system that starts hoarding the RAM, even though there is 600MB free ProcStats lists RAM usage as critical.
I'd like it to be my setup, so then I could bloody fix it ?

Doesn't happen here. Usually have about 1GB RAM free.

On completely stock N5 upgraded via OTA - serious problems as well. I've tried some of the various mitigation strategies noted online, disabling various google apps, fiddling with wifi, etc, but what works best for me for now is just rebooting my phone every morning, and just dealing with poor battery life.
Here is one thread:
https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1701
There are a number of other ones as well.

this happens to me as well. i found that it may related to wi-fi. android l was originally delayed due to some w-fi issue.
i keep my wi-fi turned off, then reboot. it's been good since. i posted my findings in google issue tracker (Issue 79729). someone else confirmed it helps them by keeping wi-fi off.
see below google issue tracker

Same problem here. Sometimes it is as low as 170 MB. It became difficult to take screenshot of this. So I had to take a picture from my friend's phone

Rebooted a couple hours ago but its the same as after 48 hours.
Also, get rid of that BatteryGuru crap.

All I know is if I don't reboot, after 1-2 days my phone will randomly freeze and become unresponsive until a reboot. Completely stock and the only 3rd party services in the background are Dashclock (35MB) and Llama (10MB).
It may have gotten better when I switched back to using 2.4Ghz WiFi mode but I can't tell since I reboot nightly now as a precaution.

Lol that is only 10 hours after a reboot. Give it a couple days you might notice something then.
BTW I almost forgot, I disabled the browser tab integration because the 2 times the phone froze were while opening URL links. Once through a Reddit app and once through Chrome itself. Also before the phone froze completely it was displaying signs of sluggishness and being used fairly heavily on a mobile data connection.
I usually have multiple apps in my recents menu and they still often reload, but I'm going to try not rebooting for a few days to see if it freezes up again.

I will come here specifically to show you even after a week I'll have no memory leaks. And the reason its at 10h hours was because my phone had died. I don't normally let my phone die and its up for countless days
So far 14hrs but I'll comeback everyday just to prove the point, only certain people have this and that it isn't a Lollipop issue.

If you feel it is necessary. That doesn't prove anything to me personally, my memory use seemed normal even as my phone became sluggish and eventually froze completely. All your screenshot tells me is you're running geeenify, perhaps that is helping? I may have even fixed my issue by disabling tab integration, something you might not be using. We all use different settings after all.
The only reason I think it might be memory related is because apps in the recents menu are frequently cleared from RAM.

[Q] Sense 3.0 keeps reloading

It happens several times each day. Sometimes, after getting out of an app to go back to Home, it seems like Sense reloads. It shows the HTC white screen and then "Loading..." for a few seconds before the home screen shows up. It's not something that affects functionality but it sure is annoying. If someone knows how to fix this or why it is happening, please, let me know. Thanks.
this happens to me to, but it is everytime i install or update a new app
bump

Just means that your device ran out of memory to hold sense in, and Since rosie (HTC Sense Launcher name) went out of memory (probably because the app you that you had running used up alot of memory and resources), your phone needs to reload rosie again. Happens to everyone at least once. My advice would be to not run so many apps at once, and take off some widgets/apps off the screen. Will lessen your chance of your sensation having to boot rosie from its memory. Hope i helped.
Thanks, Shaquiel, Good luck with unlocking the bootloader. I'm following your work
BTW, most of the time I'm just using the stock music app. I had already gotten rid of most widgets too.

The same thing is happening to my phone. I just did a wipe and I am still having the same problem.

sense`
I gave tmobile a call about the sense force close and they said that a 3rd party app may be causing the problem. Then I called htc and they said it is a defective phone and to request a replacement.
It may be due to heavy RAM memory usage slowing it down to a (how us ex-iPhone users say) respring to clear all the memory. Plus Sense is a beast that isn't cool towards RAM. Out of the box you see in the Task Manager you get at MOST 200mb and average 150mb.
Just wait for your phone to be S-Off and dip into the Roms. Get Gingerbread, real Gingerbread. Will defiantly lift the weight off of the RAM.

Why waste your time..did u just read what he said???? its a memory leak...
I had the same issue. I installed Launcher Pro and haven't had any issues since. It's a pretty common problem. I don't think its a defective phone.

I can't wait for S-off. I removed the Weather Clock widget and Sense seems to reboot less.
the sensation has 768MB but only 558MB in total there is something wrong
i've had occasional reloading before but every time I change a setting or open up text messages when I close out of that task it reloads Sense. At least 25 times in a row. Trying a reboot. I will have to go back to my N1 if this persists.

Delete the htc sense account and see if that fixes your problem.

I would but last time I did that I had to recreate another. I disabled all the syncs and changed from push to manual. Maybe that will have some impact- and possibly save my battery.
Any time the free RAM drops to a certain level Android will bump off Sense, as already mentioned. This isn't a bug per se, just a ramification of the device not having enough RAM (if it didn't have Sense it would have enough RAM, but Sense uses quite a bit). Happens to me whenever I use a high quality game, or if I have enough open tasks consuming RAM.
My phone reloaded sense several times a day. Every time I sideloaded an app, every time I played a game, every time I browsed the web for more than 5 mins...etc. I even tried a factory reset and the same thing kept happening. I got tired of that and my screen seemed loose so I took it back and got a brand new one a few days ago. The new one hasn't reloaded Sense once. I've sideloaded apps through Amazon, and played a few games, this one is MUCH better. I would recommed if it hasn't been 14 days since you bought it, try taking it back and getting a new one if Sense is reloading constantly. It worked for me!

If there isn't a memory leak in Sense they are guilty of horrible product design. This was happening to me after doing nothing at all without a ton of widgets or other background apps.

My replacement just arrived so I will see how it goes. What is your date/country of origin/serial prefix on your current unit?
My first unit was a Taiwan Sharp 6/2/11 HT162T
This one I havent opened is a China 6/7/11 SH167T.
son of a *****........****ing D U S T smh - of course the power button is fine. Another 14 days on this one. Getting tired of this crap.

How to properly maintenance your G2X.

Ok, so my question is, what should I do to maintain my phones speed, I recently been noticing my phone has getting a bit laggy. Out of the blue a few times a week it laggs no matter what I do for a few minutes?
Is there a few steps I can follow to free up memory or some stuff I should clear every few weeks? Boot cycles? Anything?
Thanks guys.

I NEVER stick with one ROM for more than a week, or I'll usually do a factory reset every few days. A reboot once a day also helps... But whatever you do, DO NOT use a Task Killer to free up memory, Android manages memory perfectly fine without any 3rd party apps.
Reboot every couple of days. The more "stuff" running at once, the laggier you're phone will feel. Don't use a task killer, but DO make sure only the apps and widgets you want running are actually running. A lot of apps will sync and update information in the background and that means fewer CPU cycles for the things you want them for.
Linux, for the most part, requires no maintenance beyond common sense. You do not have to worry about memory, Android can manage it perfectly well in its own.

Yeah I am going to start power cycling my phone like every 4-5 days, and I just noticed (still giving it time) clearing out my text messages helped.
P.S. Know of any apps that you can schedule a reboot?

My Droid Charge randomly slows down

Hi,
My Droid Charge randomly slows down, regardless of what ROM I'm running. It can have no applications open and it'll slow to a crawl, to the point where when I tap on a contact to call, it'll take anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds before the phone actually dials.
As mentioned, I've tried several different ROMs, and I can't figure it out. I have approximately 110 apps, but obviously the phone manages them on its own. I have 15 gb SD card that has approx 12 gigs free.
Any clue what the cause of this is or how I can diagnose it?
Have you tried v6 supercharger? Mine was doing the same thing until I used it. It frees up the ram and my phone doesn't slow down anymore.

I ran into a similar problem as I am an app crazy guy. I will try just about any app. And one day my phone started to act like yours. I do not remember which app it was, but I want to say it was an old version of skype.
Anyways, I suggest you flash whatever ROM you like clean. And then see if you run into trouble. If not then load one app at a time until you duplicate the issue. 110 is a lot which is similar to the amount I have. Most of mine just sit in backup until I need them. I now only run a few at a time.
Hope you figure it out as that can be frustrating.

Everyone deserves to get the most out of their phone!
This happens to me with every ROM as well.
I've had the most luck with Imoseyon's v4 kernel, using AutoKiller Memory Optimizer set to 40/50/60, and setting dalvik VM memory to 80m.
With the above setup I've been able to go a couple days before slow-down issues start happening, whereas before it would generally happen every few hours.

[Q] Problem with Samsung phone performance

Been contemplating for a while whether to post this as it will come off as rather trollish. Had my Infuse for over a year now. When I first got it I noticed there were some "issues". I remained patient hoping or thinking maybe when GB was released it would improve. It did not. Later I needed to root this phone and came here, found a ROM that had all the AT&T junk stripped out. Phone worked better, but still had these issues.
I got to the point that I knew I would never again purchase either a Samsung phone or Android. Did not know what the culprit was. Just recently I had the chance to really take a look at an HTC EVO, and I realized that Samsung is the problem, not Android.
Number one issue is that this phone is sluggish, and sometimes unresponsive. I will touch whatever button and get that vibrating acknowledgement, but nothing happens. I will be in the app menu and wish to exist and the home button just does not respond.
Yesterday I missed a call because the bloody phone just did not respond, even though I touched the answer button. Other times I just can not make a call. I dial number, and the phone just sits there doing nothing. Eventually I just pull out the battery and restart the phone to make a simple bloody call. I had a HTC WinMo phone for years and never once experienced this. No matter how farked the OS could get with some app or whatever, the phone function always worked.
I do not run a lot of apps, and recently have experienced these issues with almost literally no apps installed. I will then add something like GO taskmanger just to confirm that the unresponsive behavior is not due to some app taking up memory/CPU etc..
Sorry for the long post, but I am at my wits end with this bloody phone. The fact that I miss calls when the **** phone is right in my hand is unacceptable. So before placing this phone in a box filled with C4 and shooting this to the moon, hoping that maybe a solution is out there.
p.s. I have 2 Infuse in use, both have the same issue.
What firmware are you running?
Is it the same firmware on both phones?
What is the launcher?
Have you tried a different modem?
Are you using a battery saver like juice defender?
Are you using an ad blocker?
Are you using a specific kernel? Oc? Uv?

You know, for the rather lengthy post, you really have not explained any detail about your issue.. You have a generic 'I have an issue, the Infuse sucks' post and its not going to help anyone resolve your issue. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that you have 2 infuses having the SAME EXACT ISSUE. Yes, there will be times when you get a defective phone or it isnt working up to your standards, but to have 2 defective phones with the same defect? You need to play the lottery. Also, i suggest you send the phones back. It sounds like youve already made your mind up and have pretty much bashed the samsung infuse in that entire post. The same samsung infuse that myself, and plenty of other people live with day to day and have absolutely 0 complaints.
I will give you $20.00 a piece for them!!!!

Simple . Hack it and put cm7 on it if you really need speed. Maybe its your screen protecter. Wipe the screen off. Cm9 can be sluggish, for speed go to miui on gingerbread or cm7
Id be willing to buy one of the infuses
Trust me...sounds like you got two defective units...which like Scott, I find hard to believe...but hey its possible-idk when you got hem.but if it hasn't been a year then put them back to stock with gtgs unbrick and file a warranty claim with Samsung...the infuse is a great phone and I never had the problem you described...I do have a question though...did you get them both at the same time? Cause I don't see why you would get a second if your first was having problems
Anyways...if you wanna sell one hmu...I may buy one depending on the price and if I can get the money (I think I already may have one lined up for $170 just need to get the money)

Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).
are you completely wiping before every flash youve done? have you tried a complete wipe and start from fresh?

No, thought never occurred to me that I should look at this as a solution.
Neither.
Nope
2.6.35.7-I997RUXK53-CL366622 for mine (GB rooted ROM) the other would be whatever came with the official Samsung GB release.
Again this has been a recurring problem since purchase, and during this time I have had stock Froyo, rooted Froyo ROM, GB update, and for one now a the GB rooted ROM.
When the slow to unresponsiveness occurs there does not appear to be any specific cause. Prior to updating to the rooted GB I had used GO Taskmanager, and long before that some other app I long since forgot the name of. Point was that they had shown that neither CPU was excessive, or memory was used up. Both phones have data services disabled and are strictly Wifi only. There are no tasks or extra programs run in the background (though did install Connectbot today). I no longer use any Live wallpaper. After updating to the rooted GB I left the phone in that state (no software installed) for a week or so, and the problem still occured.
This occurs when calling or answering calls, but as previously posted occurs sometimes just opening the Applications menu as an example. So it is not a specific task or program that is slow or unresponsive. Earlier this evening I got a call, slide the bar across to answer and the screen just hung there for a few moments. This time it was at least not long enough that I missed the call. When the call was done I looked and there simply was nothing running on the phone. No apps, no web browser or mail, in fact I was not even connected to the wifi (I have data 3G/4G service disabled on the phone).

Task manager is NOT the best app to tell you what is running in the background.
Maps and other location apps may not be listed but will consume resourse that can be the cause of your lag.
The fact that stopping wallpaper or live wall paper off alleviate the condition may suggest that the phone is running at max capacity. Steps to reduce the load improves it. Live wp, facebook, maps, stock email and other device manager from stock att was one of the first @#$% I took out on any rom I run.
Having a large amount of apps installed can also cause this lag. The OS may only be able to handle so many.
Have a poor signal at the time of the call may also be an issue, especially if both of your phones have this issue occasionally but not consistently.
Lock screen can also be a factor. Some sleep setting may also cause the phone to wake up poorly. I get around this by turning off my lock screen. On the call settings, you can also change the answering options so that it will override others and make it easy to answer.
On any firmware - stock or modded, after you have the phone running for an extended period of time without a reboot, you may start to see some lags. This may be across all devices. You may need to reboot it occasionally or boot into recovery and wipe the cache.
These issues may or not go away once you have a device with more power or resources..ex: dual or quad core, 1gb or 2gb ram etc..my guess is when a device has more power, programmers will come up with more resourse intensive apps that may hinder the phone as well.
Lastly, pay attention to your battery meter. As the power dips below 30%, there are steps taken by the OS to conserve the battery. This may give you lags as well..possibly one of the reason why it seems random also.
If you wanted to test out the lag issue due to background apps, go to settings/account and sync. turn off background data. You will retain the (radio) phone and text but there will be no email/facebook, weather, widgets/market/amazon etc updates unless you manually update them. If this runs smoothly but lags when you turn it back on, you can start the process of narrowing down your culprit.

mm-qcamera-daemon

I am running a stock Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. and mm-qcamera-daemon has been significantly lowering my battery life and I do not know which app is causing it. Does anyone know where this originated from or what it is?

it comes from the camera, when you take hdr+ photos.
Are you using any battery saving apps? If so, get rid of them.
Always swipe the camera away from recents when you finished

WOuld Killall -HUP /system/bin/mm-qcamera-deamon by shell script fix the camera crash without reboot?
I had the same thing I deleted most things that I recently downloaded that used the camera and I rebooted the phone and it worked

I'm having this problem too. I don't have snapchat or any of the other applications that have been claimed to cause it.
I haven't installed any new camera using apps so it's probably due to some update. Stock rom, was happening on stock kernel, is still happening on linaro.

I'm not sure if this helps or relates to your situation but I had that problem about a month after installing jishnu's camera...kinda came out of nowhere one day. I deleted the app/ mod, rebooted and reinstalled it and haven't had the problem since.
this is a nightmare, as it is unpredictable, with no solution, and not addressed by google.. Even after a factory reset, it ends up coming back.
I got this 2 days ago, first time ever. And I have been using my camera consistently.
First when I start my camera, I get Unable to connect to camera, so I rebooted, and camera works again, but at the end of the day, I saw the high memory usage. I rebooted the phone again yesterday and it seems fine again. Buggy...
And this process have no "Report" button like Google Search or Google Maps have, so I have no way of reporting this issue to Google.
One of the culprit is Yahoo! Messenger's voice/video plugin... Or any other apps that will use the camera..
If you were trying to upload a picture but failed in the mid way... this might occured as the app will always trying to upload the pic eventhough it got failed..
Per my similar topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564457 the culprit for me seems to be an update to Skype pushed out a few days ago.

hmm, now you mentioned it, I did install skype on my phone a while ago.
Let me uninstall it!
Since I removed Skype I've had zero more black screens; I'm pretty confident that this is the cause for me.
Negative Guys....
I'm sure that is not third party apps that is causing that drainage,
Why in the world suddenly all people are experiencing this batt drainage with many different apps and blaming them?
I have the problem with weather channel and the mm-qcamera-daemon, others with skype, others with yahoo messenger and so on, this problem suddenly?
I believe that google is working on that problem but not saying anything about it.
Please read all these reports in these 2 links and after that tell me that I'm wrong.

I know that some people just uninstall an application and then it works again as before, but later on the problem shall arise in a few days or something, I've read this. Let me uninstall it and let you know, maybe it was an update that caused the problem but I got The Weather Channel that said it was something similar to mm-qcamera.daemon and I uninstalled it and the same problem, I deleted the cache and davlik cache as well and it did not work, I have rebooted several times and it seems that I have to do a nandroid restore and see what happens after that.

I am not actually blaming them, just want to find out HOW to make sure this doesn't happen to me. If it involves uninstalling Skype, then let it be.
This is definitely a OS process, its whether there's a bug in the OS, that was triggered by Skype, OR its that Skype is not using the API correctly, either way, the "solution" for now is just to uninstall Skype.
/Skype/any other apps that's reported here/

I would agree with this. I've frozen Skype with TiBackup to see what happens.
reboot with clearing cache did the job for me
