When I read the original post, I thought, "wow this is not very well put together."

Then I kept reading, and realized that part of the problem may have been that the OP isn't a native English speaker. That doesn't excuse the factual issues in his post, but still...

But as much as I disagree with the OP, I gotta say, the replies of most everyone else are are much more retarded. Things like cursing, flying off the handle, and using the word "rulez" (no, that can NEVER be used anymore even in jest, it's not 2005 people) makes you look even dumber than the OP.

And to the OP: Really? You're comparing a Milestone to a Nexus S? :rolleyes:

"makes you look even dumber" = point well made

The Motorola Milestone is a GSM device. It's the international GSM version of the Motorola Droid. The OP never should've said Droid, people seem to be having a tough time letting that go.

In Settings/Taskmanager the Program memory shows 120.14 MB in use with 62.8 free. But when I change the view to Process memory it only totals 45 MB in use.

What don't I understand? Where is the missing memory?

One time I checked the memory and it showed 100.5 free??

Anybody know?

I'm getting 100% CPU usage.

The culprit is the com.android.providers.application process (after killing it CPU usage goes back down).

I haven't isolated how it gets into this state, but it seems to happen often, but not always, after calls or texts.

Any solutions or ideas on how I can debug this further?

I have:

LG Optimus P500

Android 2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.9

Software version V10a-SEP-25-2010
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tgi007:
Similar Symptom Solved

I don't have the same hardware, and I didn't make notes of which app was the culprit at the time, but I had this "type" of problem about a month ago. One of the "data store" application processes was chewing 100% CPU -- so much so that the charger wasn't able to keep up with the CPU's power-hungry usage. The handset was running HOT, and the battery continued to lose charge while plugged in.

The problem turned out to be a (presumably) corrupt database holding my Contacts. I removed the offending database (I actually renamed it first, to make sure it wouldn't be a fatal mistake), rebooted, and then the "data store" application re-created the (empty) database file, and then automatically repopulated it from Gmail Contacts.

Behaved itself thereafter. Hasn't happened again.

Perhaps my experience will help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] foodbaby:

I have a question to everyone. I understand wifi drains less battery than 3g. But what if you are not surfing the web? Which would drain less battery while using the phone but not surfing the web?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wearmaize:
Depending on what you're doing...

If you have a strong 3G signal, that's probably your best bet.

If you leave wifi on, it will continually search for available networks, which drains battery. However, if you're somewhere with little or no cell reception, the phone uses more power to search for a cell network.

If you're not actually using any online service, airplane mode is unquestionably best.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
I leave Wifi, 3g, GPS, and bluetooth on all day and use my phone a lot and my battery lasts a whole day. We shouldn't have to **** around with enabling settings anytime we want to use the damn thing. If however you are running low on juice, then at that time you should start turning things off, and lower the screen brightness. Note: the auto brightness setting uses more juice than manual settings.

[Fascinate General] djk21108:
I have the recently released leak installed on my phone. I had a lot of problems getting there so I hope you all can be of some assistance.

First problem, when i try to reboot into recovery mode after I've pulled the battery it ALWAYS goes into the standard Android recovery and NOT clockwork. I can only boot into clockwork from ROM manager. Is this normal?

And secondly, this is for future reference when I want to install new ROMs. Everyone suggested that I wipe my phone before I put the new ROM on, which I did. Unfortunately this caused my phone to become unrooted, and I had to spend a little more time getting it rerooted. There was a lot of work to be done. Is this the usual course of events people go through to install new ROMs?

Thanks so much in advance, I really appreciate this community's helpful patrons.
[Fascinate General] djk21108:
I just put the recommended update.zip file in my root.

If I click install update.zip from the default recovery will it bring me into clockwork recovery?

Is that what I'm missing?
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Yes, installing update.zip in standard recovery will lead you to clockworkmod recovery. But if you haven't installed clockworkmod properly, update.zip will fail to load clockworkmod recovery.

Wiping roms doesn't unroot your phone, so maybe you did something wrong before?

[Fascinate General] djk21108:
Are you sure wiping doesn't unroot?

Does it remove the superuser app at least?

When I first wiped everything I lost EVERYTHING on my phone and it went back to as if I had just bought it.

I then went through the reroot process so I could get ROM manager back to boot into recovery mode (because I didn't know about update.zip before).

But I don't know, it's the same thing except with 2.2 and a FFC.

Yeah, but a WAY better screen that you could notice!!! And I like the physical appearance on it more then the MT4G.

+1 on that haven't you guys noticed that Samsung is the worst when dealing with support lol. If your gonna get a new phone might as well wait for some dual cores to come out.
[myTouch 4G General] RavenWulf:
let's see...

1. SamSux has screwed me once already with the Behold2.

2. They have shrunk the internal storage from 16GB to 1GB (Vibrant to Vibrant4G).

3. yeah their screen is bigger and looks better indoors and on cloudy days, but I live in Texas as a Trucker and we have many more Sunny days than cloudy.

4. MT4G = 756MB RAM, Vibrant/Vibrant 4G = 512MB RAM.

in short not just NO!!! but OH HELL NO!!! I don't care if SamSux but out a triple-core 5GHz processor... Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I don't do well when I am the cause of my own shame.

[myTouch 4G General] kdunn1994:
I once liked Samsung

I had a vibrant and i loved it when it came out, then as half a year passed i still didn't have 2.2 froyo, it was just ridiculous even phones like the lg optimus had 2.2, if touchwiz was delaying the release of 2.2 get rid of it, then the nexus s came out and it was running 2.3, which pissed me off even more to have a phone that is considered top of the line running outdated software. so i got rid of the vibrant, got a mytouch 4g rooted it , installed CM7 nightly build (2.3) and i get updates daily, i will never go back to samsung for anything electronic.Never.
[myTouch 4G General] vinnyjr:
Why would anyone want to trade what I feel is a far superior phone for something they will have nothing but problems with. The MyTouch 4G superior in every way besides the screen display. The screen IMO isn't that much better them the MyTouch 4G. I happen to have one of the good screens.

Can not put my Nexus One down. :)
[myTouch 4G General] ELBdelorean:
The Vibrant 4G is just a marketing ploy for people with Vibrants with 2.2 (which it just got) to switch over to 2.3, instead of just updating the software. Don't get me wrong, the Galaxy S is a great phone. Samsung just wants to make money while not caring about the consumer.
[myTouch 4G General] vaerio81:
I wouldn't do it ....I would just wait for something better like a dual core phone ......I had the vibrant before my mt4g and yeah screen was good but so many problems with lag and updates for it ......I'm super happy with my mt4g I will upgrade as soon as something better comes out but foe now mt4g is the best out there for now ......
[myTouch 4G General] tq745:
for me software is not important, it's the hardware that attracts me as i flash custom roms all the time. the vibrant does have a good development community so if software is not an issue then i say go for it, however, i suggest you just wait because the galaxy s2 will be announced 2 mondays from now and you can be sure that bad boy is coming to t-mobile. or you can wait for the htc inspire...either way my next phone will definitely be a dual core.

Software is very important. Go read Engadgets review of the Optimus 2X. Best hardware on any phone out there but horrible software that can cripple the phone. Samsung's software is horrible and crippled the Vibrant.

Samsung sucks, they screwed up the behold 2 which was great hardware. They screwed up the Vibrant which was great hardware. The Vibrant 4G will suck. The only phone they make that is good is the Nexus S because its stock google software.

[myTouch 4G General] tweak89:
As a former Vibrant owner I would say, in the immortal words of Monty Python..."RUN AWAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!"

Great screen, but not much else about that phone worked. I would suggest you head over to the Vibrant forum to see all the *****ing in the development section about the stagnating development of ROMs for that phone as devs move to work with better supported phones.

I posted this in a MT4g vs Vibrant thread. The MT4G just works. The Vibrant+lagfix+hardware mods (for FFC and GPS)+custom rom ALMOST works like it should. So, unleass the Vibrant 4G is brand new on the inside, I would avoid it like the plague.

very tempted to switch back to the vibrant. I enjoyed it, customizations and all, plus great developer support. Locally I can pick another one up around $150, and sell the mytouch 4g for $300-350. I like the mytouch 4g but there just isn't enough roms to play with or customize the phone, its a solid device! I'm not fully utilizing all its functions, 4g and video camera I have no need for being on a local 3g carrier only.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
I had the same problem. If your phone is rooted then try plugging the phone into the pc and then boot into recovery. See if usb ms-toggle works. If it does then your SD card should load up. Then reformat the SD card. Back it up if need be because that'll erase everything. Make sure to throw a Rom onto your freshly formatted SD card to load up in recovery. That did the trick for me:-)

I am running Virtuous and it is running smooth as butter, but I would like to try one of the CM7 nighly, and want to be able to go back if need be with out hours of work. I am running clockwork recovery and rom manager, and also have titaium back up installed. Phone is rooted with s-off. Can I just run a back up from rom manager do a complete wipe and install CM7. I also need to update hboot from .79 to .92 should this be done prior to the rom manager back up. Should CM7 not work out how do I restore back? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Yeah just nandroid (which means backing up the rom and all your settings) and you can go back at any time. In Rom manager just go to Backup current Rom and you will always have a copy of your setup EXACTLY as it is.

You can update HBOOT whenever you want, it really doesn't matter when you do it. Once you do it will stay that way.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoundMessage:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't doing a nandroid backup essentially make a complete clone of your entire phone that you can restore later?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoon0n:
Okay, here's what you to do back up:

1. Back up your apps with Titanium Backup - DO NOT BACK UP PHONE DATA. Backing up data for games (e.g. Angry Birds) is fine, but don't back up contacts or Gmail or anything that's going to be included in your new ROM. Reason is, when you restore everything (more on that later), you don't want to have conflicting data screwing things up.

2. Make a nandroid using ROM Manager. Just go to where it says backup current rom, and let it do it's magic. You can (and should) rename it to something you can remember. DO NOT USE SPACES. I like to name mine with the date, ROM name, and version number (e.g. 2-3-11_Virtuous_3.1.0)

3. After the backup finishes, install the new ROM - I always do this through ROM Manager.

4. When CM7 is finished installing, download Titanium Backup and restore your apps using the batch operation - it's a lot simpler than trying to find all your apps and download/install them yourself :D

5. To go back, simply click "Restore Backup" in ROM Manager and pick Virtuous and all your hard work will be restored

Enjoy! ;)

I've gone from Stock to Virtuous to MIUI to CyanogenMod and I can say definitively that I have never had any problems with Titanium backing up/restoring apps.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman5oh:
So here is what I did,

1 Did a Rom back up from Rom manager

2 Backed up user apps with Titanium Pro

3 Updated Clock Work Mod to 2.5.1.2

4 Flashed Hboot from .79 to .92

This is were ran into a problem, after hboot flashed it just went into a boot loop were all I could do is go into hboot or clock work recovery but that is it phone would not boot. I searched a little and read that hboot wipes the kernal and that is why it will not reboot. I then went into clockwork and restored the rom I backed up in step 1, and it worked like a charm. Thought I would share so any one else who runs into this. Now off to flash cm7!
