So how do you pick the app? CPU usage? That's no good, a lot of the time the bug is that an app is still running but not doing anything and so sucks battery indirectly by causing unnecessary starts/ restarts. Memory usage? What is memory usage in an OS like Android anyway? RSS? VSS? Private-dirty? There's no obviously good answer. This is what I meant by a PhD in Android-ology. You're overlooking your own knowledge of how computers work being greater than is reasonable to expect from everyone. There *is* going to be a task viewer to help you identify buggy apps, and if you're able to identify them, uninstalling them will kill all associated processes for you. Android Market apps already have problems with bug-workaround-buttons on (see streamfurious) which is pretty nasty. It'd be bad to establish a precedent that this type of design is OK - it's not. > Apologies if my tone seems bitter, but I'm kind of annoyed by the > level of customer support for this OS. Ah - I see the misunderstanding. This is not a customer support list. It's a place to discuss Android development itself, which means discussing pros and cons of suggestions like yours. Customer support is handled (for the G1) by T-Mobile. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
