So the title says it all. After ~1h of use my one x runs out of ram while not using it for cache or apps. I realize that unused ram is wasted ram but what is happening to me is definitely not normal. After a while after reboot all apps immediately closes after use, app drawer including. I can barely start keyboard. And settings shows that there is no cached processes which is unusual. I'm using icj 3.8. Any advice would be appreciated

Tried a different ROM or kernel? Perhaps Sense as opposed to AOSP?
That's definitely not normal.
No, but before this the rom worked well. I want to keep changing the rom or cleanly reinstalling it as the last resort option, because it is the most time consuming.

Then it's likely down to a specific app with a memory leak.
Start working backwards and uninstall apps one at a time until it goes away again.
Wouldn't that show in settings running apps and services? I tried stopping all and using task killer but that didn't help

Not necessarily.
You can shut down the app itself and remove it from the list, but it's possible the leakage is remaining memory resident.
Thanks didn't think it was possible

Is anyone else having a problem with Sense continually crashing? Almost every other time I go into an app and use it for any length of time, when I exit the app Sense has crashed and I have to watch the stupid loading animation while it restarts. It's happening really regularly.
Cheers.

Check how much ram is free.
And check the developers options for background tasks.
Yup noticed that too. This needs to be updated not liking sense.

Incredible how much ram Sense is taking up.
I figured it would take less considering it's more stream lined to look at compared to say Sense 3.
At times it feels like we've got two operating systems competing with each other for resources but slapped together.
It's definitely not ram related. It just did it again with 313 mb free.

I initially noticed this too. Then I went and disabled auto updates to HTC sense and voila, no more seemingly crashes in Sense.

Hi globalgpj, can you tell me how you disabled auto updates? I got my new device yesterday and I find that my touch screen and buttons become unresponsive fairly often. The only solution is to press the power button briefly to switch off the screen and on again and the response is ok.
Thanks.
I had this problem too 1st time i started my phone.
What helped for me was a complete system restore and skip the setup-wizard and do all that manually one in SENSE.
Here it shows how it was on my phone (look at 0:30)
Goog luck!

If this bothers you return the phone. Htc has had this issue since the Sensation. It will rear its head at some point. It's because Sense uses too much ram and isn't locked in memory so Android will dump it from ram to make room for other apps and then it has to reload which takes longer than most launchers. This reason alone is why I'm staying away from Sense. Try using an 3rd party launcher and it'll work better.

You don't understand. This issue has been confirmed by many people on Sensation running Gingerbread and ICS including me. Adding a line to the build file forcing Sense to be locked in memory. The moment you remove that line (how it is by default) it starts happening.
It's fine, just don't expect this issue to be fixed because to htc its not an issue. It's just the way it is.

I can't remember exactly. But it did solve my problem of sense constantly loading which causes lag or delay in sense loading.
However, check the following:
Go into settings, and at the very bottom is Developer options. Click this option. Then see if this item is ticked :"Show screen updates"... if it is ticked, untick it.
The only thing I have ticked in this option is "Animation", everything else is unticked.
The other thing I also do, is I try not to have my widgets updated constantly. I have my emails checked only every 3 hours, my news reader, greader pro, every 12 hours.
Let me know if this has helped you.

I believe you can only use this script with a rooted device. Is that correct ?
Many people with HTC One X may be locked into a carrier for some period of time and therefore on a Stock ROM !
adding echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to the local.prop solved the problem on my Desire Z, luckily temproot was enough to edit the file.
I don't suppose there is a way to temproot the One X yet?! I'm not interested in perm rooting my One just yet... I'm too fond of my 2yrs. warranty

This is a confirmed bug (countless people reported it).
I find this very strange.. i have in the last week had one force close on sense, other than that it has been fine
I haven't seen a single force close on anything yet. Had a few random close-without errors on Route 66 and one or two on Sygic, but this is infinitely more stable than my ICS Asus Transformers...

I have to agree with you . That was my problem in the beginning. So I installed Touch Calendar app, and since then, no more problems.

PS. I also went into SETTINGS, clicked on "Accounts and Sync" and check under my gmail account to see how many things were auto syncing. I removed most of them and chose to do them when I needed to. This helped conserve battery and possibly a smoother SENSE operation.
Hi, when use one x more than a week, it always reload Sense. anyone have solution?

Yes this is normal. Android and sense do a very good job of managing tasks so don't worry about it.
You can check apps in the settings menu for any apps that are running constantly, its the running apps tab...
This is what you should keep an eye on.

You're going to need to provide more information. Are you stock, rooted, etc...? If rooted, what rom are you running? I haven't heard of this, so I'm not thinking it's terribly common.

Did your app actually get installed?
I've seen that message and the Space it is referring to is not storage in internal memory, but rather to the home screen(s) being fully occupied by icons.
Right right... I'm on chilly's 2.18
Its weird because this has never happened to me at all, actually I can install other apps just not power amp...
And I deleted the app and scanned for skeletons with SDMaid

i used to get this...i think i cleared market data...did you use luckpatcher or similar app to "disable adds" then uninstalled poweramp? also if u did use luckypatcher ...just open it and clear the applied patches before reinstalling poweramp...if not the case clear dalvik and cache
Experience taught me this one. Use ur file manager to go into luckypatcher dir. Delete the max. power . blah blah part whatever power amp comes on. Reboot phone clear dalvic n cache. That's if u used luckypatcher. If not just pull battery after clearing just dalvic. I hate power amp. Gone mad way better.

Hi guys,
I've had a less than impressive battery life after I had Cyanagenmod installed on my hox. I know it's the norm for the screen to be the highest consider of the battery. However as you see in the screenshot it's the OS. Is there something I should do?
I can lose half my battery life consumed in an hour of moderate use.
Help would be appreciated, thanks

Well in general aosp Roms use more juice than sense roms.. have you tried those? Before you do that though, have you checked what drains your battery with an app? You can also use greenify to hibernate apps running in the background
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Thanks for your reply. I'll try greenify, what app do you recommend to check which apps use more juice?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Well I'm not sure if I can give any recommendation, but I use Gsam battery monitor (Something along those lines..)
There are alot of apps on the play store that do the same so just get one that suits your needs
I would advise against any app that says to improve battery life.
They scan for apps then shut them down, if that process didn't finished their task the os starts them up again only to be closed.
They do more harm than good.
I would suggest using a custom kernel and underclock/undervolt.
Lower screen auto brightness amounts.
