Hi, First of all, please calm down, getting angry and cursing won't help.
Then, you are not reading the logs correctly. While the GC should certainly not be active all the time, the logs show that the GC is active in *different processes.* All the GCs you see do not come from the same process and might not come from your application *at all.* If you see these lines after you exit your app, then the GC don't happen in your app. It's as simple as that. You can use DDMS or adb shell ps to see the pid of running processes and match them against the logs. This GC for instance occurred in the process of pid 757: 02-12 12:48:57.230: DEBUG/dalvikvm(757): GC freed 110 objects / 5128 bytes in 74m Note that this kind of activity is expected when the phone is syncing data from your Google account for instance. It could also be due to a 3rd party application or a bug in one of the standard apps. Without knowing what process cause the GC, there's not much we can do. >WHAT THE HELL???? Is the device trying to send or receive *anything* >w/o my consent??? You bought a T-Mobile G1, which is expected to be used on a T-Mobile network. In this case, the myFaves application is sending an SMS to the carrier to see whether you have the myFaves service enabled on your plan. On a T-Mobile network this costs you nothing, I don't know about other networks. It probably is a special kind of SMS used to carrier operations that costs you nothing. -- Romain Guy Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.
