Hi everyone,
I am using the go launcher but i met a problem.
I found that there is a service called appservice by go launcher and is consuming lots of memory. However, i can force close it and no problem has been discovered.
Can anyone answer me that what is the function of this service?
Thx for your help
I have recently installed Go and discovered my battery draining at an alarming rate. I quickly realized unlike LPP, a service was running. Since I discovered AppService, killing it seems to have solved the battery issue. I hate having to kill it every time though. Anyone else with input?
I have also AppService but my battery is good. Try to do this: press the home button and choose Go Launcher EX. After this, reboot so that the default LG launcher doesn't stay in memory. My memory last days. Depend on the use, I think one day I reach 4 days (with go launcher ex)
Yeah Go's my only launcher, it just drains like crazy. I don't get days with any launcher unless I don't do anything on the phone, in which case id save more battery by simply turning the phone off.

I have tried searching the forums but have found nothing yet, so I was hoping someone could help me. I am currently using Enomther's rom, but this has happened on every rom I've tried (Desire, Cyan, etc.). My problem is the Nexus One is running 100% of the time. In comparison, the screen was on for 5.2% of the time. And I have definitely noticed the battery. Even if in standby, it loses 10-20% battery an hour. By the time I make it home from school, I have about 20% battery left, with almost no usage whatsoever. I've checked to see if it's any apps that won't close, but my highest used app was only a few minutes according to spare parts. Cpu usuage is barely visible as well in spare parts.

Looks like an application is holding the wake lock. Instant Messengers are good candidates for draining the battery. In my experience, Meebo loses connection frequently, and eBuddy has a mode to keep the connection, but it drains the battery very fast (AFAIR it has a mode that's easier on the battery by checking for messages every 15 minutes, but that's not all that instant anymore).
Good job you have AnyCut installed.
Use it to place a shortcut to the 'Testing' app (or dial *#*#4636#*#*), and use that to look at your battery history.
This will be able to confirim if your N1 is indeed staying awake, and if you use the 'partial wake usage' drop down box, it will tell you what's keeping it that way.
For partial wake usage, the only thing that pops out Android System which has a full bar. Nothing else is above a sliver.
Since you have titanium backup, why not make a backup, completely wipe your phone, and see if the problem persists? Then, add components at a time and see when the problem reappears. ie ROM -> a few apps -> a few apps -> etc. This will narrow down your search and hopefully pinpoint the problem.
You also might wanna look at logcat (e.g. via aLogCat), sometimes there are a lot of messages of runaway applications.
Here's my logcat

No spare parts?
Downlaod it and try setting the end button behavious to go to sleep.
Seems like an obvious thing, but its worth a shot if you haven't already tried it.

Yep, of course I have spare parts. I set that, but what exactly is the end button?
Edit* I've uninstalled every app on my phone, and yet the problem still persists. Running 100% of the time. What the heck is wrong with my phone?

I think your best bet us to just wipe everything, and reinstall the rom. That should get things going smoothly.
do you have trackball succession mod? that may be the reason.

No, but I did have trackball wake enabled. Would that matter? Also, I've installed Cyan and the problem seems to be gone, although battery still isn't great :/
I would figure that trackball wake will keep waking your phone when you accidentally hit the trackball when the phone is in your pocket or bags?

One thing to check that I've run in to twice (unfortunately) is constant "syncing" of email. I only noticed it because the email app constantly showed the syncing circle (not in the notification bar, in the app). Clearning the storage/settings for email cleared it up, but it took a few days to find out what was causing it to never sleep.

Yes but my phones running 100% of the time and my screens running 1/20 of that time. Surely my screen on time would increase as well? As well I'm sitting in class half the day and know for sure that I'm not hitting the trackball.

Thanks, I'm going to look into this. Would this correspond to UID 10014 or Media having extremely high network usage as well? I just noticed these two things constantly have full network usage bars but don't know exactly what either are. How would I clear the settings/storage? I'm using a Desire Rom now if it matters.
I've had the Captivate for about a week now and has powered off about 4-5 times for seemingly no reason. Each time it has happened has been when the device was idle/locked. Battery level has not been the culprit, as my charge level has been nowhere near low when it has happened. I've been missing phone calls because my phone has just shut off.
Has anyone else experienced this or do I just have a bad phone? Between this and the GPS issues I'm really starting to think about taking it back. Shame though because I love the screen!
i unroooted did a factory reset and everything im just getting a replacement so yeah
Haven't experienced that. Are you running an app killer or something?
I had the same problem. Last night and this morning it would go to sleep and I was unable to wake it up. Had to pull the battery and then it powered up. I had "setcpu" on it and I have since removed it. It hasn't shut off since. We will see if it holds up.

I have Advanced Task Killer Free, but I do not have the 'Auto Kill' enabled. So it only kills apps when I run it.
Had the same issue like 5 days ago without a task killer or SetCPU. Not sure what it was, but hasn't happened since.
Try a full restore, and make sure it's not an app that is making your phone crash. If not AT&T has a 30 day return policy in store. They may want to do the restore, and have you try it for a few days. Just let them know you tried that already. If you take it back and have them check it out, if they can't fix it, they'll replace it.
I just replaced my phone due to battery issues, never had a reboot.
This morning I was listening to pandora at the gym and it just rebooted on me. Then again I never use pandora, but slacker was having issues this morning.
I will wait for it to happen again before I take action
I have pandora installed as well, but it's never happened while the player was running. I'm keeping an eye on the task killer and pandora, but so far it hasn't shut down yet.
Any gurus know if there is a shutdown/crash log anywhere to view?
My Captivate has shut off twice, ONLY when Pandora was running and it was plugged into the car charger. When I run with Pandora running, it hasn't shut off. I think it's a Pandora problem.
Ok, mine just crashed three times in a row. Two of the times I was changing the wallpaper. The third time, well I dunno. I've removed the Pandora and ESPN Score Center widgets to see if that has any effect.
I'm going to load the stock ROM when I get home to see if it is truly a hardware or software issue.
I'm almost positive it has to do with setcpu.. I was setting up my friends captivate and it was doing that to several times. When i restarted and checked setcpu just on a whim, the settings were all wacked out from what i had set.. the max was all the way to the left (lowest clock speed) and the min was also set all the way to the left.. when i slid the sliders the availible min/max values suddenly changed to 1000000 for both of them..
So im thinking setcpu is not getting along with some of the captivates..
I don't have setcpu installed. I haven't even rooted my phone yet. I only have a very small number of applications installed. Here's the list:
Advanced Task Killer Free
AppBrain App Market
Barcode Scanner
Facebook
Foursquare
Goggles
Google Sky Map
Google Voice
Pandora
ScoreCenter
Shazam
Alright, I did a complete wipe, restored the factory ROM, and haven't installed any apps and it's still happening. Guess I'm taking it back. Hope they're not a pain in the ass about exchanging it.
Its not SetCPU. The reason is the battery door is loose and not clicked in properly. When you place the battery door in push on the bottom part when you close the slider.
After that, no troubles. I ran into the same problem.
Game hero of sparta made my phone wack out.. even paid the 5 for it.... darn
Try to remove Advanced Task Killer Free. Once I did it on my phone the problem went away.

As far as I can tell, the cover is on correctly. The two clips are underneath the bottom slider so I don't think this is the issue.

Again, Stock ROM with no third party apps installed and it's still happening. I'm lead to believe it's a hardware issue.

Push harder. Trust me on this one.
I wish I could explain better what I did, but I can't figure out what it might be.
I am running Captivate rooted, mostly stock 2.2 with a modded camera app, and sideloaded apps allowed (for the Amazon market). The behavior is this:
Phone takes about 5 minutes to boot, was previously booting in maybe 1-2 minutes before launcher comes up. Launcher loads and i have a slow but usable phone for 30 seconds then phone freezes, and maybe a few minutes later, launcher will restart. this whole time, i am getting double vibrate every few seconds, like something is freezing/crashing in the background (that's my best guess). I disabled all Widgets in both launchers and it does not hookup via USB once it freezes, but will charge.
This is happening with Samsung TWlauncher and with LauncherPro. Thinking this was a LauncherPro issue, I switched default launcher to TW, but same behavior occurred. I also uninstalled LauncherPro, but still no change in behavior for default launcher. I would like to try to get back to a usable phone, or if worse comes to worse, get my data off the phone before reinstalling either stock, CM7, etc. I do not have a phone recovery as I could never seem to get the clockwordmod recovery to install, so I only have reset user settings as an option from default recovery mode.
The only thing I can remember doing when this started was changing LauncherPro memory presets to see if it would stop restarting often, so I thought maybe LauncherPro was the issue, but it does not appear to be.
I reinstalled LP during a few hour period of usability, but then it occurred again and it took all day to have the right moment of unlocking my phone and getting to be able to uninstall LP before it froze again. If I wait too long to unlock, it is frozen until I restart or pull battery and try again at first bootup before the launcher goes crazy.
My main question is this:
Is there a way to determine which app is causing the problem, pull logs, etc. when the phone is off, and does not connect on USB (when it's frozen)?
If not, is there a way to pull data under same circumstances? (I'm guessing this is tied into the first answer)
If these all fail, I guess I will probably go to CM7 and try that out, but I have a hard time finding out what known issues there are as it still appears in unofficial status, since there's no downloads from the Cyanogenmod site.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. This has been a hard one to search for, so if anyone knows of other instances of situations like this, I would be glad to see what else was encountered. If I have this in the wrong forum, please forgive me.
I have got an Xperia Z C6603 and I just turned it off and turned it on afew mins later And now the apps won't open
They just blink and don't do crap all, but luckily my whatsapp opens if I keep clicking it like amillion Times but unlikely and so do some other apps but like 2 or 3 , can anyone help me and if you are facing the same problem, I have tried factory reset and it fixed the problem but it just happened again and I am not resetting it all the time
Another problem is I loose charge while using it while charging it. What kind of phone does that?:/ and sometimes it just stays at a constant charge but drops and I'm using the Sony charger in a mains socket and the phone gets super hot but I try cooling it down by blowing on it xD or putting it on a metal surface which cools it down pretty fast

Hi i also am experiencing the same issues you have.
Had any luck fixing it?
however i do not have the charge issue.
I tried resetting it worked for a bit then it started to act up again.

I had the same issue and I know it started shortly after changing the stock launcher for the free Jellybean Launcher 4.1 from play store - and then I started putting apps in in the app draw into folders... I then decided I didnt like that launcher, and deleted it.. Straight after doing that, and going back to the Sony Launcher, the issue started (ie, you can press all the short cuts but they just wobble).. It was as if the 4.1 JB launcher (when deleted) stuffed up the location of the short cuts. This was on the unbranded AU 434 rom. :crying:
I ended up hard resetting the phone, and starting again, but avoiding using an aftermarket launcher and the issue did not reappear.
I've since gone to the UK unbranded 434 and no issues - but I've yet to use another launcher. No issues all good so far

here's what i tried, and able to replicate the issue.
Problem: icons just 'wobble' but not responding. Sometimes, need multiple clicks to get it working.
Resolution:
Noticed this occurs when using stock launcher, and in dev settings i turn off all the animations and transitions. ( i.e. window animation scale, transition animation scale, animator duration scale = off.
to rectify the problem, either completely turn off developer options, or set those three values to 0.5 minimally.
having done that, the issues have not recurred.
Maybe you guys can help me, because the P30 Pro is driving me nuts. How on earth do I get it to stop saving power?! If I wanted a phone that only does single tasking and isn't able to do anything in the background, I'd get a Nokia 3210.
For example: I'm listening to music in the car. Then I pause the music playback via my in car controls. After a few minutes I want to continue, so I press play. What happens? Nothing. The music app stopped running, because Huawei thought it is absolutely necessary to achieve 2 days of battery life. Here's a trick for you if you want to achieve that: Turn off the phone! I'd rather have half a day than something that is this useless. It gets worse. I use an app to warn me about speed cameras. Well, it doesn't work on the P30 Pro. Because even when I go to the settings and go to the app, then details about battery usage, and then tell it to continue running in the background... the app doesn't get any GPS information in the background. Which is bad enough to begin with. It NEEDS to run in the foreground. As soon as it is in the background... IF it even keeps running, because it usually doesn't, despite me telling it to... no GPS, no function. I'm also using a GPS Logger for my photography. Guess what: Doesn't work on the P30 Pro. Because the app just won't run in the background. I've even set the phone to the power mode. Jup, doesn't help.
What. The. Hell.
How can anyone live with this sort of insane "optimization"? If Huawei had ONE place where we can RELIABLY tell it which apps to keep running in the background, and maybe a setting where it just doesn't optimize at all, then great. But this...?
Edit:
Ok, so I did find ANOTHER setting, well hidden, under Apps, then Apps, then the three dots, special access, battery optimization, then select all apps. And THEN are you able to AGAIN tell it not to optimize. Why is this so hidden? And why aren't users, like, warned? Normally, you can reasonably expect your apps to run in the background. And you can rely on it. If the phone does not want to behave that way, tell me. Then I can say if I want this behavior or not.
Ok, some more testing, and... some apps just won't keep running in the background. They just won't. Any ideas? They work on other phones. I've never had a phone they didn't. But the P30 Pro... no chance. Screen goes off or I go to a different app... and goodbye.
you can read it here, its for mate20pro, but it works for p30 aswell

Cool, thank you.
I did try a bit further, and without changing anything else, it looks like after a couple of restarts and some more attempts of running the apps in the background, the phone is starting to behave. Still no final verdict, but it's getting better. If it's still too annoying, I'll try the Power Genie thing.
Disabling Power genie has finally fixed my Softphone problem. it finally keeps running in the background to receive my business numbers.
