romeosidvicious,
Thanks for this thread and your follow-up post. REALLY educational to people like myself who are simply ignorant of Linux OS and are new to Android. Hell I didn't even know Android was Linux-based. Very interesting indeed. Coming from a Windows mindset (never had Windows Mobile, but have used Windows OS all my life... just recently purchased a Mac also and am LOVING it) it is hard to think of any other ways to deal with memory issues. Pretty much only Apps I kill now are Apps I open manually (stupid shit like Magic 8-ball, any games, Movies, etc.) and the Browser when I don't want my last visited page to show up upon next launch.
I do have a question regarding Spare Parts though. You wrote the following:
- - Battery History -> CPU Usage: If you see an app you aren't "using" a lot with high CPU usage you may have found your culprit.
- - Battery History -> Partial Wake Usage: Nothing should be high here at all. Partial wake is like when the weather app updates and then goes back to sleep. If you have high partial wake from an app it's doing a lot while you are not using it."
When I check the aforementioned (both CPU Usage and Partial Wake Usage) using Spare Parts what I see has the most usage is "Android system". That said, it's not even A LOT of usage judging from blue color bar which I assume means % of usage (it is about one-fifth full). Any other programs listed are just 'standard' programs such as Mail and Browser and they have NO color bar detailing usage at all. Just want to know if that's normal or what?
