[APP] Monitor RAM and cache used by a specific app - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I know we can monitor them through the developer options but it's not handy for important tests on several apps.
I'm looking for an app that can monitor these key figures for a specific app instead of the whole consumption. A floating monitor would be perfect BTW
TIA

Track data usage per app

So like the title says i need to track data usage per app. My data use for today was alarmingly high and i need to find the culprit. Is there any app that does this¿
bump please
+1
An app like 3g watchdog with extra listing for each app would be perfect
I've been searching for similar apps as well (light weight)
Found another option...

Seems to use built in data monitored by the os, for ver 2.2 onwards only though.

App Monitor Lite

Hi,
I've created a very unique application, in the sense that I don't see any other app that monitors other running apps and alerts the user if any of the running apps are resource hungry apps. App Monitor Lite is a basic evaluation version. Please try it out and let me know. Also, don't forget to comment.
Please let me know how can I make it even better
Comments are well accepted.

Does your app offer any advantages over Watchdog which I currently use? (not any sort of dig...I'd actually like to know if there is additional functionality)

Ofcourse. App Monitor monitors their CPU, as well as open files, and memory usage. From what I read about Watchdog, it monitors apps solely based on CPU usage(although it does show memory in the app).

If I'm not mistaken, Watchdog would itself consume system resources to a larger extent, as it does realtime monitoring, which on a phone, is bad.

Help about greenify setup! And a question about battery monitor.

When you-they say that task killers are bad, you also mean the stock task killer every phone have? I am talking about the one you enable it by long pressing the back ( or other ) key and then just press clean to delete all running apps.
Every app we open it must be killed/hibernated in order not to consume ram and battery. So we must put ALL the programs in greenify hibernation mode? :S
I am a little confused.
I have an Oppo Find 7a.. Should i use greenify or system battery/app management? And how?
Also i've installed Gsam Battery Monitor, but it doesnt seem to work well.. Sometimes timer reset, other time the app closes itself..
Also i noticed that youtube app doesn't display on greenify apps. Why?
Yes when people say that appkillers should not be used they mean also the android default app killing software. And they are right when they are saying that. Installing extra app killing software to your phone just consumes memory and battery life
And what about greenify?
I noticed that when i open the cm browser, also facebook opens! There is a wake-up path called << AttributionIdProvider>> which i cut it off..
Also there is another wake-up path for facebook something like this << lollipop update service >>.. What is it??
Should i cut it off also?

I have not used Greenify so I cannot say anything about the features. To be honest, looking at the apps description I cannot see that it does anything special but prevent the apps from behaving the way they are designed to. Some individual apps may be poorly designed or implemented and may consume more battery life than necessary. In most of the cases doing this kind of hibernating will not help at all.
Most users say that greenify works very well.. I am surprised that you never heard of this program.
And what about battery monitor program? Should i have it ran all time?

The purpose of battery monitor apps is to give you detailed information about battery consumption. You for example identify if some individual app is consuming too much battery for some reason. If you do not do anything with this information, there is no reason to keep the monitor app running.
The default closing of apps in the app drawer does not kill the app properly. Greenify completely stops the app via the app info or with root. All apps have to be hibernated in order to not consume battery but you should not hibernate apps that you want to have running in the background like whatsapp, hangouts, vpn, apps whose widgets you use etc. Youtube can not be hibernated because it is a preinstalled system app and these can only be hibernated if you pay for the Greenify donation package(which you absolutely should). For the Battery info app it depends on how it measures your battery usage. Try to hibernate it if it doest measure your battery stats remove it from the list again.
The more ram uses a program process background, the more battery it drains?

Not necessarily. But it's a good indicator. The most battery is consumed by internet traffic and the CPU/GPU when the display isn't on.

Best tool to control what apps are started and run on the background?

Hello
I have an application installed on my mobile to fly drones. (DJI GO)
Even though I close all tasks on memory this application is still running in the background and is responsible for 55% of battery consumption. I guess it could be a bug.
Even if I restart the mobile the application starts automatically as a service.
What app works well to disable the autostart of other apps?
I'm looking for some that is as simple as possible. (like the Windows autoruns).
I have SD Maid installed, it's designed to perform many other tasks and also supposed to be able to modify the autostart option.
Has anyone used it for that?
Within the section "receiver manager" of the attributes of the application has a lot of sections but I do not know which one to disable.
Any other alternative working properly?

Question What is the difference between Battery Optimization and Background Usage Limits in OneUI?

In Samsung OneUI, the battery usage of an app can be controlled from 3 different Settings (which kind of overlap with their functions):
1. App Info page/ Battery
2. Device Care / Battery
3. Ignore Battery Optimization Setting
By default, the battery is set to 'Optimised' for all apps.
On the App Info page, if Battery is set to Unrestricted, the app will not appear in the list of apps under Never Sleeping Apps in Device Care. But, if an app is added to the Never Sleeping Apps list in Device Care, the battery setting remains at 'Optimised' in the App Info page.
It is not clear which option is better for apps that the user wants running all the time. For example, I use Netguard and want it to remain running without being killed. Although I have not seen Netguard getting killed with either option, I'm still not too clear on which is the better option between these two settings.
Likewise, if Battery is set to Restricted on the app info page, the app will not show up in the list of apps under Deep Sleeping Apps in Device Care. But, if an app is added to the Deep Sleeping Apps list in Device Care, the battery setting automatically changes to 'Restricted' in the App Info page.
The problem with adding apps to Deep Sleeping list is that they are delinked from Google Play Store (and probably blocked from setting alarms, accessing System Events, etc. too), and so would not receive any updates until the app is launched again. So Deep Sleeping Apps setting is likely the more aggressive setting to prevent apps from running in the background.
The other problem with Deep Sleeping list is that any app that is removed from it is automatically added to the Never Sleeping list. So one must remove the app from this list too to bring it back to the default setting.
Finally, we have the Ignore Battery Optimization Setting, where an app added to this list will automatically have it's battery setting changed to 'Unrestricted'.
If I have to list them in the order of most aggressive to most privileged, it would be like this:
1. Deep Sleeping Apps
2. Restricted Battery (without adding to Deep Sleeping list)
3. Never Sleeping Apps
4. Unrestricted Battery
5. Ignore Battery Optimization
Hopefully someone can clarify this.
One is Android thing and the other is Samsung way. If you select restrict you won't find it through Samsung own app usage.
You can choose one of them or both. Samsung is easier to manage.
*EDIT* What the, you have over 600 apps ?!?!

Actually over 1,000 if you count the System Apps. Even my Watch has over 300 apps and watchfaces.
