JetsetBkk Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I use Process Explorer on my PCs. It sits in the "System tray", shows me how busy the processor is and I can find out what processes are running. Is there anything similar for an Android phone? The problem I have is that every few hours my phone runs very slowly for about 5 minutes. I think it might be doing backups to Google, or running a virus check but I can't be sure.

treetops Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Type "Process Explorer" or "Task Manager" into Google Play Store search and try a few of the apps shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, already did that. Nothing comes close to actually showing which app is using all the CPU power. Was hoping someone would recommend an app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 My last two budget phones have worked so well that for the last 5 years I haven't needed to install any resource monitor utilities. My Mi A2-lite still gives me 5 days of battery. Though I'd recently downloaded Zello (a neat audio messaging app) that was running great until I created a private password protected channel and it started killing my battery in three hours. The android "Battery Usage" feature was more than useless. After some try-this, try-that, uninstall this, reinstall this, kill the private password protected channel, I resolved the problem (but didn't like discovering I can't live monitor password protected channels in Zello unless I'm willing to completely sacrifice the battery).
