Here's this TERRIBLE BUG, which I suspected and ranted about in my

So I went the other route (installed SDK 1.1) and to my NON-surprise,
I see the DAMN GC FROM HELL kicking in for no reason:
02-12 12:48:51.770: DEBUG/GpsLocationProvider(51): updateNetworkState
unavailable
02-12 12:48:57.230: DEBUG/dalvikvm(757): GC freed 110 objects / 5128
bytes in 74ms
02-12 12:49:05.160: DEBUG/dalvikvm(135): GC freed 62 objects / 3096
bytes in 75ms
These 3 lines would repeat ENDLESSLY with an interval of ~5 seconds
between each line, and about 10-15 secs between every triplet.
And wait, there's MORE - these 3 lines continue being logged after I
exit the app and the device is completely idle.
Someone, PLEASE, tell me what the hell is going on here? How are games
supposed to run without stuttering, if every 5 seconds the GC would
kick in, even though our games don't make not even ONE memory
allocation after initialization??? And please, don't tell me I'm the
only one experiencing this.
The device is not even connected to internet and I have no clue as to
why the GpsLocationProvider would want to log that at all if it's so
obvious to it too.
I have powered the device off, and then back on, and now the GC saga continues:
02-12 13:01:08.827: DEBUG/dalvikvm(119): GC freed 110 objects / 5112
bytes in 74ms
02-12 13:01:25.887: DEBUG/dalvikvm(119): GC freed 110 objects / 5112
bytes in 74ms
02-12 13:01:49.797: DEBUG/dalvikvm(119): GC freed 110 objects / 5096
bytes in 74ms
02-12 13:02:00.027: DEBUG/dalvikvm(119): GC freed 110 objects / 5112
bytes in 96ms
It's better, alright, GC kicks in 10-20 secs. But it won't stop
either. And I see a pattern - the allocations are of the same size (w/
1 exception).
But wait, there's more, I'm getting a series of these:

WHAT THE HELL???? Is the device trying to send or receive *anything*
w/o my consent???
Thanks!
