Slow running, unknown stuff running

[Guest Black knight101]

Hi,

Hope someone can advise.

Running a Gen 1 SF. only about 2 weeks old. Sweeding Spring 5.

Found it particulally slow these last few days.

To alliveate running CPU control at

614 Max

245 Min

On Demand

Also running task killer

Set to Crazy and 'when screen off'

I still am finding it slow.

Every time I clear the task killer there is a load of stuff open again

Swiftkey

Task killer free

Antiviruscom.googleandroid.gsf

com.android.providers.drm

Spotify

com.android.qualcom

Maps

com.geekyouup.android.widgets.battery

Can anyone confirm if thats whats normal to be running? Can I improve things anyhow. Really likled thismphone from new but it seems to be getting slower and slower.

Thanks

Well that does look normal. That's how Android works - it puts apps into memory for faster load times.

Thanks. Not sue what you mean by putting apps into memory, am new to this.

just finding things are taking a little longer e.g when pressing 'home' I get a background screen then the apps/wigets load a second later. It used to be instantanous.

What is the qualcomm thing and the .gsf shown in the task killer?

Thanks.

you need to lock your on-screen in memory. so your taskiller doesn't kill it. go onto your task killer and hold down on your launcher application and select ignore. then going back too home will be fast with everything loaded up anyway

Brilliant ;)

Obvious in hindsight! Bit weary of adjusting things after my newbie experince of ramping up the overclock and apply on boot before actually testing it!

Thanks

The task killer is confusing Android making it slow perhaps

No need for task killer - this ain't Symbian or w/e ;)

Yes decided to unistall after reading up online. Will see how it goes for a few days.

Thanks for the advice.

It should improve performance and maybe battery life since the apps don't need to use CPU to re-open.
