My battery was inexplicably draining and SystemMonitor showed continuous 100% cpu usage even though it didnt show any individual app using a lot of CPU.
So, one at a time, I started killing apps and waiting a few seconds to see which app was hosing my CPU.
No doubt, the subject of this post lead you to the correct answer: AppBrain.
AppBrain is a fantastic app, but it was using 100% of my CPU at 1.136GHz and it will killing my battery. I don't know why SystemMonitor didn't show it as using much CPU time, but killing it did the trick.
FYI: I am on BakedSnack 1.5 on Kernel #4 (the "Fastest" Kernel).
How long have you had app brain?
I've only had it for a few days.
I only started monitoring my battery for differences because I just upgraded to BakedSnack 1.5 and whenever i install a new ROM i'm especially careful about battery life.
Please turn on system monitoring in System Panel to see what was historically killing your battery.
Its possible it could have gone rogue, but I've never seen that happen.

Did you come to this conclusion only after you turned off AppBrain and noticed a decrease in CPU usage? Did you try re-installing AppBrain to verify that it did in fact, increase CPU usage to 100% again? Sounds a bit like you're jumping the gun on this conclusion.
never have a problem with appbrain. Its latest version make it useful.
Yea, i always install app brain and its never gave me problems like that.
I think my method of
Watch CPU meter sit at 100% for 5 seconds
if CPU remains at 100% kill 1 app and goto step 1
the most recent killed app is your culprit
is pretty sound. It has worked for me on many OS'es over the years.
Nonetheless, at your requests I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and seen the same behavior. System Monitor doesnt show any individual app eating the CPU but the CPU meter is at 100%.
I don't know what that means except that, for now, I am forgoing AppBrain.
System Panel shows CPU cycles per running app on the main screen. What are the stats?
appbrain works great here too... this is not a common problem with the app.... something else is messed
i have had no issues with appbrain. on any ROM i've used. have you tried to remove it and reinstall it to see if your issue returns?
You might be right here I uninstalled it and my battery went back to normal

Been using appbrain since i got my evo. no problems here.
The whole, "you are dumb it isn't appbrain, it has never given me a problem" needs to be kept out of this thread. he has a sound logical method, regardless of what a system monitor shows. If terminating appbrain ends a 100% cpu lock, then obviously it is a problem with appbrain or the kernel he is running.
how bout instead of everyone saying, "works fine here!" someone with the same kernel and rom as him post up and let him know how it works for them.
how would it make you feel if you were in his situation if someone said
"works fine here and has always worked fine on my evo"
or
"I am using the same rom as you and the same kernel and I do not have the issue"
The first is useless and assholeish, the second is called contributing and is what these forums are about

begone troll. you have added nothing here.
i saw no one in here that was rude or nasty to the OP.
i see several folks letting the OP know that app brain in general seems to work ok.
i see a few folks asking basic troubleshooting questions.
i see a few folks throwing out basic troubelshooting steps.

Just a reminder XDA has rules regarding people policing forums XD
Annyway, I know for a fact that appbrain has kept my phone from sleeping. Using system panel, I have killed ALL apps, and slowly let them return. If my phone sleeps, I exclude the process so it won't be killed. After several repeats, uninstalls, and tests, it is appbrain that keeps the phone awake, though sporadically.
Just throwing that out there

you provided some kinda of feedback. that is good.
skydeaner provided nothing but an attempt to stir the pot.
and you call me out for it?
wow.
I actually noticed my battery life being god awful the last couple of days (just installed app brain 3 days ago). At the moment I was going back to CM Rom however once i get there I will check to see if it is the cause as well.
I also noticed the same thing about appbrain on my Droid X with leaked 2.2. I installed appbrain about 3 days ago and I started noticing my battery draining quite rapidly.
What made it really obvious that my battery was draining a lot faster than normal was that I had just disconnected my phone from the wall charger (100% charge) at around 6:45 am; I had not used my phone at all, but when I checked it at work at 8:30 am, my battery was already at 60%......that's crazy because my battery usually still reads between 90-100% at that time with no use.
Since appbrain was the only app I had added in the past few days, I stopped it from starting up at boot with autostart, and now my battery is back to normal. I think I am just going to uninstall the app completely.
There is an app you can install that works in conjunction with appbrain. I forget the name but it auto downloads and installs apps you pick in appbrain... even from a computer. Did you install something like that? I have heard it is bad on battery life

Hey all,
While my phone has been absolutely fantastic in just about every aspect, the only issue is that anytime I try and play a game on it, it will freeze and I have to completely close the game out and restart it. Do any of my fellow redditors have any suggestions as to what may be causing this or how to fix it? Or are any of you experiencing this as well.
I have yet to experience this and I have been playing a lot of games. What games are causing this? Also, redditors? This is XDA.
Sorry about the redditors thing, they suggested here and i forgot i put that in there. The two that i know of are Temple Run and Baseball '12
I've put a good few hours into Temple Run and haven't even had a single stutter. Haven't played Baseball '12. I dunno what to tell you. It *shouldn't* matter but how much free RAM do you have before playing the games? Have you tried killing everything (again, you *shouldn't* have to do this) before playing?
I have gone through task manager and killed everything possible several times. Doesn't clear it up. Do you think it might be something with the phone and should return it for another???
killing those apps actually makes things worse. Leave things as they are.

Have you tried doing a factory reset and just installing Temple Run and seeing if it still does it?

How would freeing up RAM make things worse? I get that Android is supposed to have very good memory management but it has been more than proven that the One X is not your typical Android phone in this regard. Its memory management flat out sucks.
I can also confirm no stutter on Temple Run. Good luck.

I was trying to avoid that but i may just have to do that tomorrow after saving all my contacts. Will update after attempting this to see if it fixes it.
while we are on the subject, I too have been playing a lot of games with no real problems except for GTA III. At first everything was working excellent except the sound would crackle in the menus and occasionally in the game. After a while however with all display settings at max, the game would start randomly stuttering and slowing down So I lowered the settings some which helped, but it still does it about 10% of the time. Tried reboots several times and doesnt seem to fix anything.
Everything else works wonderfully and I think I remembered someone posting something about GTA III running perfectly at full display settings. Wonder if maybe I need to somehow re-install. Also it seems like there are a lot of people who have odd ball issues with programs not running correctly while everyone else seems to be fine. Wonder if there could be some defect with the phone, maybe its occasionally corrupting parts of files when installing. IDK just thinking out loud.
GTA III I have problems with the game too. there is something wrong with the phone memory management. My SGII could handle this game with no problems.

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?

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?

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.

My first post here. I've been lurking and learning for a year or more and this is the most knowledgeable place I know of.
I have the att version of this tablet and I am having serious crashing issues. I can use an app for about 20 minutes or so and it will blue screen and restart itself. After it happens once it will do it every few minutes until I leave it alone for a while. Sometimes I need to hard restart it and sometimes it will restart on its own but the screen doesn't come on. Only sound. As far as I can tell it's not overheating and this will happen even if I install nothing from the play store and just use the factory apps.
I have reset to factory many times and reinstalled the firmware with kies and that didn't help. I have returned the tablet to att for a replacement and I have the same problem with the replacement. I'm past the 14 days now and would need to return to Samsung but I don't want to do that if there is something I can do on my own.
Anyone else having these issues or can point me in the right direction to fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
I am sad to say that I am experiencing the same issue. I have noticed that I experience the issue more when playing games and / or when there is a lag in data transfer in an application. I can tell this usually when playing a game that is synchronized with the server I will experience the blue screen of death and when I restart and load the game again the game is several moves behind where I actually was. I usually don't experience this error in a lot of other applications especially word processing applications, but I have noticed that it is an issue. I assume its software related, and though it is frustrating, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
For a short time I thought that it was related to frequent use of the touchscreen, but I'm not sure that this is true. I don't feel like mine restarts once every 20 minutes.
Sadly I have not found a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs any logs or system information; if you can tell me how to send it I would gladly send it.

Yes. It is very nice to know I'm not the only person having the issue.
20 minutes is really more of an average. Sometimes I can go longer without an issue but it is guaranteed it will crash.
You bring up a great point that I didn't notice. It is more frequent when it is an app that uses a lot of data.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
No such issues on the international P905... Not in any of the games I play (It does 6 hours straight without issue) nor in data-heavy apps.
So it's likely AT&T-branded related.
My ATT version occasionally has a few apps that crash. I just restart and usually it's good. It is the same apps that do it so I don't thinks it the tablet.
I am experiencing the same thing on my P907. Can't seem to nail down the culprit.

I had the same issue then realized it was connected to Knox. I had 'Frozen' all Knox connected apps after I rooted an thought that might be it. I did a new root and it worked fine till I installed SuperSu which was not the issue specification but rather the fact that it disables Knox during the installation. I did one more clean wipe then when I rooted this time I just left Knox alone and I have had zero random reboots or crashes and I have not tripped Knox.
No, no root. Stock. I have minimised the frequency by switching from samsung keyboard to the swipe keyboard but it still occurs.

I've seen a report or two about stability issues related to micro USB cards. If any of you are using one it may behoove you to try shutting down, removing the card and running without it for a while just to rule that out. Sometimes a corrupted card can do it when an application writes or reads from a particular location of the card. It's worth a shot.
Mine doesn't crash. But I feel it freezes occasionally. Itis actually subtle, but I can feel it. Especially, I certainly feel that my note 3 runs more smoothly then the note pro 12.2. Mine is a wifi version. Has anyone else got the same feeling? How can I optimize the device?

Do you use a microsd card? Most cards are really slow compared to internal memory. The Note Pro seems to install whatever it can on External-sd when adding a new app. Go into application manager to move all apps back to internal storage. See if that helps with the stutters and freezing.

All my apps are installed internally. I got some time to run the benchmark tests and the scores all seemed to be normal. However, in Antutu, the memory score of the note pro is about 60% of the score of note 3. Could the memory be the reason for the stutters?
So I called Samsung and I am sending it in for repair. As I said in my first post I already swapped for a new one at att and I have the same results so I'm not thrilled about sending this in just to have the same issues with whatever they send back to. Be it a new tablet or if they say mine is fixed. I didn't pay over $900 for something I can't use so I will get this resolved one way or another. I will report back when it's returned to me.

I think I may have licked it and not really sure why but I've gone from a dozen crashes a day to zero for the last few days. I went into Kies and did a Firmware Upgrade and told it to completely wipe out all of my data. It downloaded the firmware and reinstalled, I rerooted restored everything from Titanium Backup and its all good so far... Something to consider

I am sad to say that I am experiencing the same issue. I have noticed that I experience the issue more when playing games and / or when there is a lag in data transfer in an application. I can tell this usually when playing a game that is synchronized with the server I will experience the blue screen of death and when I restart and load the game again the game is several moves behind where I actually was. I usually don't experience this error in a lot of other applications especially word processing applications, but I have noticed that it is an issue. I assume its software related, and though it is frustrating, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
For a short time I thought that it was related to frequent use of the touchscreen, but I'm not sure that this is true. I don't feel like mine restarts once every 20 minutes.
Sadly I have not found a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs any logs or system information; if you can tell me how to send it I would gladly send it.

im having the same problem. it occurs almost always when im playing games. I thought this device's hardware was top notvh for a tablet but it can only run on the lowest quality settings of most games. im very disappointed.
I experience this too, but it usually happens when the cover is open and it's on the back side of the device, it sometimes interact with magnetic sensor (some little movements of the case) and causes soft-reboot.
Nothing happens if cover is on the front side.
I should have my tablet back tonight or tomorrow depending on UPS. they sent me an email stating they replaced a component (whatever that is) and updated the software. We'll see if that fixes it.

I just got the phone about two weeks ago. The handsfree Alexa option will work for about five minutes before never responding again, what do I do? Do I need to keep the app running in the background maybe?
Sorry to resurrect an old thread if this is already resolved, but since there are no comments I thought I'd add one. I just got this phone, and one thing I noticed was enabled by default was some sort of battery optimization that seems to prevent things from running in the background. If you're still dealing with this, you might look at that.
