Process @ 99%

I'm using froyo FR91 and noticed within the last day that my system was slow. I downloaded an app that shows cpu and memory usage and noticed that the total cpu usage is at 99%. The Android System process is between 84% and 90% all the time.....any suggestions? Do I need a bigger swap partition or something?
Oh ya, and it will reboot my nexus one after a while when trying to use the system in this state.

interesting... i took out my SD card and it isn't acting slow... could it be the way the partition is setup?

Have you looked at System Panel or some other program to see exactly what is using CPU?

Ya like I mentioned it just says Android System. I am using Android System Info. I wonder if it is a setting with the sd card because it doesn't seem to happen without a sd card in it.

I said System Panel. It's in the market.

Is System Panel better than Android System Info, which is another app in the market? I now have both installed, and they seem to do the same thing.

Ah, if they do similar things then okay, I haven't used the other one, I was reading it as you were using something in the Preferences to see what was using CPU there.
Hope you figure it out, I've never seen excessive usage in any program except for a handful of times that something went rogue.
Maybe you should start removing widgets.. Then if that doesn't locate the problem, background apps..

Oh, I'm not actually the guy with the problem, just someone who's been looking for a good program to track CPU usage. I've been using System Panel for a few days and actually prefer the interface to System Info. Thanks for the tip!

Oops, missed you weren't the same, but hey, glad you like System Panel I have zero to do with the app/author but I suggest it to anyone wanting insight into what's going on, it's really great for monitoring to see long-term app behavior (paid version) or a very good whats-going-on-right-now and app killer in the free version.

seems like it was the card. I was using an adata 16gb class6 card. The card seems fine on its own. Tests on it seem ok, but once in a while the card makes the android process take a lot of cpu usage. Not sure why. I will try again on cyanogens version.

Ok its not the card because I tried a different card and it happened again. Anyone else have this issue?

Same issue,
Even swapped out my 16GB class 6 for a 32GB class 2 . Both OEM ( not ebay cards ) and the phone still reboots/ hangs ect whenusing things like animated gifs.

This has happened to me too (system_server stuck at 100%), had to reboot to fix it.

Maybe a froyo bug? Any1 try cyanogen yet?

[Q] Increase internal memory

Hello
(sorry for bad english) (and sorry if i'm in the wrong topic)
I was lurking for some threads about increasing internal memory.
Nothing easy for me. lol so I'm making a new one.
I have a samsung galaxy ace, android 2.3 gingerbread. I have it since June or July. never had problems with it until 3 weeks ago +/-.
I never had many apps, and the apps that I had, all went to SD
Well, I downloaded Skype app and it began to fill the internal memory, I deleted it a few times, and I downloaded it again. I did that about 3 times. I thought that was the problem, some files were stored but I don't understand nothing about that.
Whenever I went to skype (the last time), it could just signal that the internal memory was full and I had to delete a few things, and then noticed that I could not receive messages.
I deleted skype forever, never downloaded it again. I now have 27MB free, I want to update the market and i can't, because it occupies just over 10mb.
Already deleted everything, and it is the same with 27mb free. thats okay, I can live with that. but I want to download more apps, and appears the samae thing.
I saw the topics about it, it says i need to format the phone, but I do not know how to do that, of course lol.
but if you guys know of any program or something of the genre, please tell me.
or please help me format my phone.
it's annoying like hell.
please.
thanks.

ram expander - screen capture

I didnt want to clutter up the AOIP thread any more, so I just came on here to say I tried the ram manager and ram expander. I settled on ram expander. phone is quiet a different machine now.
however I am having issues when getting a screenshot. I get an error saying "couldnt capture screenshot. storage may be in use" thoughts ? i have tried with and without the ram expander active.
running the newest AOIP 2.0 (4.3)

hmmm it could be just an issue with AOIP 2.0 or a background app causing the issue. On 1.5 I don't have that issue and never messed with screen capture when I tested 2.0. In AOIP tread i posted a screen capture with ramexpander and LBE running.

Which SD card are your screenshots stored? If it's on the card where the swap file is that is most likely the issue. I do know that the SWAP file stops any ability to transfer files from PC to phone on the SD card in which it is in use. Change the storage location of the screenshots to the other card, bet that fixes it.

Obviously it makes sense when using usb cable as it gets unmounted from android first but android wont unmount if something is already accessing the sdcard. internal or external. its same with any os. however he is just accessing it within andoid it's self when using screen capture.. So which goes back to what i originally said as i can use screen capture on either sdcards with and without swap. Its either a bug with AOIP 2.0 or another app he has is blocking its access.

thanks for the feedback. im thinking its something in AOIP, I just wiped and reflashed AOIP 2.0 with the gapps from the thread, still no recording of the screenshot to either sd card. so im at a loss for now. I might post this back in the AOIP thread...

im still playing around with different settings trying to get the screen capture to work right for me. I do get a screenshot file, its just a blank black picture.
i know there is a way to track or i guess log the activity on the phone....can someone help me out on how to do that?

There's an app called aLogcat or from phone terminal type: logcat > /storage/sdcard1/logcat.txt. If you have adb installed, $: adb shell logcat.

ya hes right. If you you can't figure out after looking over logcat. attach it to a post and I'll see what I can find and do.

this is the file i generated from the logcat. i went through in wordpad and spaced out the commands, so if something looks out of place...sorry.
hope it helps. thanks!

k i just saved it to pc. ill look it over when i get a chance either later today my time or tomorrow for sure

sorry for being later at replying back got swamped with some freelance work. After reviewing logcat it looks like its losing focus due to not finding a qualified user. I may be completely wrong but I think it may be a bug in aoip 2.0. Cam may be better at seeing something I do not as he has a lot more experience at it. Your best bet at this current point is to pm cam to see if he can pin point the exact area and I'm sure i can do the rest as he is a busy family man. Depending on what he says you may have to either a) wait if bug has to be fixed in source code or b) swap roms to either previous aoip or different rom all together and but not least c) try an app that does it and see if it gives the same problem.

cool deal. thanks for looking at it. i will try a third party app and see how that works. and cam, if you happen to see this, i guess take note?
thanks guys!

not a problem.

Just going to report back, using a third party app I am now able to capture screenshots.

Device Care App Memory Question

How is everyone doing today?
Ok so I use the Device Care App all the time and recently I noticed that when I click on Memory and it says something like 800MB so i would tap Clear Now. What i noticed that after it is done if I go back and do it again instead it being lower than 800MB its higher, and it takes a few times going back and clearing the memory.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thank you all in advance.

I don't know the "Device Care App" and am sorry that I can't contribute to your observation. Did you ever tried or considered to use
