I like to open multiple tabs, usually 10+.
Eventually I will hit a situation where one of the chrome tabs hang and won't scroll anymore. If I switch to other tabs, they'll still respond, but will be jumpy, like chrome is busy doing something else.
I noticed whenever I get into this state, by broadband connection is pegged at 100% utilization (via SNMP monitor)
Once I close the chrome app, usage immediately goes to 0%.
I've gone through logcat and dmesg to see if there was anything obvious like highly repeated errors. While there were errors, nothing really seemed to indicate Chrome was stuck doing something repeatedly.
It has been doing this for 10 minutes now while I looked through the logs.
There is no video on any of the tabs and the network activity continues even when the screen is shutoff and even if Chrome is not in the foreground anymore.
This is on stock Android with with the exception of SuperSU 1.51 installed. The same behavior was happening before SU got installed though (ie pure stock)
The reason I first noticed this is someone else complained the broadband connection was a little slow and whether I was watching a video, which I was not. I have traffic shaping on my router, so even at 100% things can work ok, just a little slower, so I just assumed someone else was watching a video, but when they asked me, I knew something was not right.
Android is otherwise responsive and the hung tab eventually became responsive again, though if I open more tabs, the chance of a hung tab increase tremendously when I am in this state.
Anybody else experience something like this?
chrome has serious issues... cpu usage is just nuts....
it hangs a lot.. at times it won't register clicks... I use boat in fact paid for boat browser yesterday... first try the free version... btw it supports flash :
Chrome really sucks right now. Hangs for me with one tap of endaget open... Weird and annoying

I loaded it up and used it for about 3 mins or so (gpu force is on). I could feel the phone starting to get hot and about that time my screen went black (which has done this before) so I pulled the battery out which usually fixed previous issues. Well this time everything would boot up and once the launcher loaded my GPS icon appeared in the status bar and the device would crash and reboot again. After numerous battery pulls and booting into safe mode and everything else I could think of the problem never corrected, doing the same thing everytime. Eventually had to restore with factory image.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this? Also, it doesn't help that in new to android and was completely uneducated on a fix besides what I did and was a little turned off to the OS at that point.
On the other hand I love my Galaxy Nexus lol

i play around with it here & there but have never had that happen. also, i have gps/location turned off(always that way) so not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I'm playing around with it aswell and up to 30-40 min straight without it ever even getting tempered.. with gps location turned on and over wifi..

no issues here with earth over wifi. gps off. didn't get too hot either. also loaded faster and with less lag than my transformer.
I've also used it for more than 15 minutes without problems. It does heat up, but nowhere near the ungodly temperatures it reaches while playing games.
gps seems to heat up more when charging it seems. with any phone. but i wouldn't sweat it too much unless your phone is rebooting or melting.

I had a few freezes (mostly in google maps) but they were resolved with a battery pull. Your expereince could have been just very bad luck.
Try this App to check your phones hardware: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.into.stability&feature=order_history
I had no problem running it for 20 min, no errors occurred. Phone gets really warm to the right of the camera when the App is active, which is to be expected.
Both mine loaded fine.
I have found that my One X often kills apps I have running when I press the power button and put it away for more than a few minutes. I know Android will try to reclaim resources starting with background apps but this is killing the app I am currently looking at.
I have almost nothing else running and my system normally has 200-300 mb of available memory so it is a very unexpected behaviour. A typical example is I have something like firefox displaying a page. I read a bit then press off. I come back 10 minutes later and it needs to restart and reload the page. With previous phones the app would still be in the foreground the next time I turn it on and unless I navigate away it would stay that way.
I have a nexus s running ICS and that does not happen.
I have a desire running GB and is doesn't hapen.
I have a desire running Froyo and it does not happen.
Is there any way to force a less aggressive memory management on HOX?
There is an option for this, in settings > developer options, furthest down under apps section, first one; "Don't keep activities" check if it is enabled.

.. also beneath it, there is a restriction "Background process limit", it may also cause immediate kills if "no background process" is set

Thanks for the suggestions but those were set normally.
Tried using the built in browser instead of firefox and the problem was significantly reduced. It seems the system has a bias against non google apps. Even so - this HOX is behaving different in this respect to my other phones. It is my expectation as a user that if I am doing one thing, that thing should still be there the next time I look at my phone.
Something on the device may be leaking and the result is this need to stop stuff. My money is on sense ( mainly because of the observed ripple/flicker on the home screen ).
I've noticed same with my new one x it seems over eager killing all apps even sense launcher.
settings are correct but using chrome I don't dear open anything else for fear of it closing chrome and having to log back into everything, sometimes its as bad as just answering call or replying to a text message and its been killed
just as annoying it even kills launcher if I press home after using an app for more than a few minutes I get the please wait spinner while it has to load launcher
had ICS on desire HD and on zoom tab... this is not how it should work can't believe a phone with more memory and designed to run ICS is having to kill everything when DHD runs perfect
annoying little thing that is so far ruining what is otherwise an amazing phone
Seeing the same issue on my One S.
This happens with Dark Meadow. If the screen times out, or you hit the lock button, the game kind of "crashes". Not sure if this is the One X killing it or whether it's how the app is coded.
It's irritating anyway ><
Applications with a notification icon have not this behavior. Is there a possibility to set a higher priority to applications without root?
I'm having the same problem.
With cm9 @ Desire Z, I could, say, restore my 3000 sms within GoSMS (which takes a while) and meanwhile do whatever I wanted with the phone, eg. browsing, texting and so on.
With the H1X, after a certain time, the apps gets killed/suspended and therefore anything that happened within the app - which is pretty annoying. Any solution in sight?
H1X @ ARHD
I get this too. Annoying.

Sense launcher closing is not cos of the over-aggressive app killing. It's cos the system needs more RAM, so closes Sense since it's not directly in use right now. I do notice that some apps are getting closed after a period of inactivity, probably a default ICS setting that we can tweak when kernels and ROMs get more mature releases
I'm suffering from this defect as well. It's frankly astonishing that this phone behaves in this way. Really makes you wonder if anyone actually uses the phones before releasing such junk. What use is such fantastic hardware if it performs so badly in real use conditions. Every time I press home, loading. Try to run some javascript Web pages then go send a text, then back to browser and all tabs have to refresh. Mine is going back if it doesn't get fixed pretty quickly as it's practically unusable in this state. Battery is unsatisfactory as well. 2 hours on battery, screen on for an hour, 57% left?! What are they thinking seriously

If your battery is that bad you have a bad app running rampant or your battery is faulty.
For everyone else, even in settings if "Don't keep activities" is unchecked, try checking it and unchecking it. I read that sometimes it is still set to "Don't keep activities" even if it is unchecked and checking and unchecking it could solve the problem if this is the case. Doesn't hurt to try.
Hopefully one of the devs will make a Rom/kernel with better oom adjustments... I'm hoping.
the multitask implementation on this phone is terrible. I was using runkeeper, stopped to check something in my settings during the ride, phone closed the runkeeper application deleting my ride. It is getting annoying ...
I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this issue or knew what was causing it. My phone has for the longest time, been doing almost a hot boot on it's own, where I will notice the phone is at my desk, I see it come on by itself, menu and back buttons lit, and it looks like it reloads all the os. No errors, or crash errors, just on it's own. I have nothing stock uninstalled (everything on the phone is stock, rom included), did have some disabled via TB, but to test I allowed all services/apps to load as when I got the phone, still does the same thing, like every other day. I have the latest OTA, rooted, with the freeza update for LI3, running apex launcher pro and of course some apps/widgets like everyone else. This happens no matter what, but always on it's own. I have a widget that shows memory usage, and I'll have sometimes 300mb free, and once this "hot boot" the phone does, i'll be back at over 1.2 gb free, so I know it's reloading everything on the phone. is there any way of figuring out what is causing this, cause I know this isn't normal behavior. Any help would be great!
so I think I found the answer.. Via WIFI settings I had enabled under Advanced: Keep WIFI on during sleep, NEVER (increases data usage)... Of course when you'd then try to use your phone after some time, you'd notice it switch radios from 3/4G to WIFI, and sometimes it would take a few seconds to do that. When I had that option enabled the OS would reset itself after about a day of use, as I described above, not a full restart, no crash/force close errors, you'd just see the phone come on, and basically everything reloading.. After trouble shooting whether it was an app or something causing this, it was, I believe, the WIFI setting, since I changed it to keeping WIFI on "always" during sleep, in that advanced setting, the phone has not done the issue described. Going on 79 hours with no issues, which is the longest I've seen since noticing this problem.. So hopefully in the future if this happens to others, this method might be what was the problem/cure..
I always keep wifi on.. it seems to save a lot more power than 3g and its clearly faster =p.

I have had a problem that's grown worse over time with my G2. I've noticed the phone will be snappy, fresh after flashing, but over time, it will start to slow down. I chalked it up to it just needing a good flash every once in a while. However, it's gotten to the point it will become laggy/unresponsive within a day or two now. During these periods of lag I have managed to make it struggle to the running applications screen, where I have noticed that the lag is correlated with background applications restarting themselves. Google maps, Google Voice, and Waze are usually restarting (sometimes a few times before becoming stable), and I think Imo messenger might be doing the same. Once all the background apps are done restarting, everything returns to normal. I notice these apps all require some sort of radio use, and that the app I am actively using usually will only slow down, but not crash.

I have very similar issue. Soundhound oo, maps, Droid are trying to restart when it happens... I think it might be because we run out of memory... but I don't know why Android try to restart those processes so hard then.
Forgot to say I have a Galaxy S with CM 10.1
For me most of these issues go away once I set limit of background processes to 2. Even application install doesn't hand phone as before. OC also helps I guess.
I got my Galaxy Nexus set up with AOKP 4.3 MR2, but I'm having a few weird issues. For one, it seems like it's killing everything in the background, because when I go to Facebook after having it closed for even a few minutes, it takes much longer to load or goes to the first launch image. Going from anything to the homescreen is slow, because it looks like it's starting the launcher and all of my widgets from scratch again. There's almost nothing running, but it's almost completely full on ram. All of this is making it seem even slower and more irritating.
Another weird issue is connectivity dropping out randomly. My wireless router is a piece of junk and I'm replacing it soon, but it even happens at my school. The Wifi and data indicators will go gray (no connection to Google) and go blue again randomly, or sometimes not at all. I lose data a lot as well, and sometimes the network rx/tx arrows get stuck on the data bars when I'm on Wifi, making me worry about my measly 1gb cap. I spent like 8 hours setting up AOKP last night, and I'm kind of regretting it because it was working perfectly until right before I went to bed.
Thanks in advance!
