I read on https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/pixel-6s-tensor-chip-inside-the-brains-of-googles-newest-flagship/ ([mirror](https://web.archive.org/web/20220308223142/https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/pixel-6s-tensor-chip-inside-the-brains-of-googles-newest-flagship/)) : > In the case of Google's design, the eight-core CPU is integrated with a 20-core Arm Mali-G78 MP20 GPU, a Tensor Processing Unit machine learning engine, an advanced image signal processor for photography, a Tensor security core, a "context hub" for ultra-low power capabilities, and 8MB system cache. Tensor also includes a 4MB CPU L3 cache and is built on the 5-nanometer manufacturing node. I wonder where I can view the current usage of my Pixel 6's Tensor Processing Unit, image signal processor and Tensor security core?.

Maybe this info is in some file. I can also have it mounted in my computer and run a bunch of linux commands.

How to monitor log app wise usage report RAM CPU Battery and stop RAM resident apps from starting at boot Many time my Android 5.0 & 6.0 mobile become slow while working i checked it In process stat in developer mode that there are many of apps running and using RAM even after closing the app it means they are memory resident may be for notification and running in background. We can force stop from app or kill process but it's for time being now my queries 1. Any App to.Record whole day log report for all apps how much total RAM CPU battery it's using while working on app and after closing the app means RAM using statistics app wise for whole day weak or.month 2. How to kill running apps proccess forcefully stop for temp running and freeing the ram urgently. 3. How to permanently stop (not uninstalling app) the apps or background services from.startup or disable from memory resident as and whenever we boot or start those apps run in background. Is there any way in Android to stop from.running in startup or resident memory RAM after closing app.

Samsung Note 8 running Android b. 9 here is a screenshot of SW info: My Android is playing weird 5-10 sec sound clip at random times. It sounds like a combo of a hippo and then a slot machine paying out winnings. But I can't figure out where the sound is coming from. I've turned off notifications for all apps, and even made the default android notification SILENT. But, it's still happening several times a day. Is there any way /software I could install to watch the OS and figure out /teach where this is coming from... Or at least where it's stored so I can at least delete it. I'm worried it might be some malware. But I've scanned using lookout several times. UPDATE: --- per Suggestion, I installed/used ADB on my MacOS Catalina & got some info: 1. first took care of brew: * brew update * brew upgrade * brew cleanup * brew doctor 1. installed ADB on my Mac: * brew install android-platform-tools 1. checked to see if ADB could see my phone, ran adb devices ==> actually got a weird error the first time: > adb server version (36) doesn't match this client (41); killing... > * daemon started successfully > > List of devices attached > ce071827a99a952b057e device 1. ***somehow*** fixed this, by doing nothing more than running the following commands a few times: * adb * adb devices * which adb * adb devices * whereis adb 1. ***After that***, I tried adb devices again, this time I got: > List of devices attached > ce071827a99a952b057e device 1. then ran adb shell dumpsys audio ==> huge dump, so trimmed it - with a few pre-steps in case I was going to have to run this a few times: 1. ran adb shell and got this (Android OS shell?) prompt: **greatqlte:/ $** ==> then ran to rim results/narrow the time a bit: 1. **greatqlte:/ $** dumpsys audio | grep "04-28 18:0."

When I turn on the screen on a sleeping (but not powered off) high-end Samsung Android 7 Nougat device, the device is often very unresponsive (lagging) for 20-200 seconds. Using the excellent Simple System Monitor (SSM) , I can see that it's not a CPU or RAM issue. There also is only minimal network activity during this time. The issue appears to be *something* writing to internal storage. In all the SSM graphs, it's the only graph that shows a high level of activity during the unresponsive period. How can I determine which process is performing all that writing to internal storage ? The device is *not* rooted, nor does it have external storage.

I noticed that my phone silently enables bluetooth when screen turns off. When phones remains inactive for few minutes and I click unlock button I can see bluetooth indicator showing up for around 1-2 seconds, then it disappears and Bluetooth is disabled. I have suspicions that some app enables bluetooth programatically when screen is off. Can I revoke bluetooth permissions from all apps? (eg. using adb) Or at least check recent bluetooth activity events?

Looking for a way to collect resource usage (processor, at least) on unrooted OS for running apps over time. This last part is crucial, since there are *numerous* apps presenting *current* usage for running applications, but i’m yet to find one which can generate statistics, collected by running in the background, for used apps over a period of time. Basically my question is a duplicate of this one , but it was last active in 2012 and also never really got an answer for realtime statistics collection.

There's a file (stream.wav) which appears from time to time on the /sdcard and it grows large and eventually eats up all available space. I need to find out the application which opens this file and keeps it growing. Is there any way to determine this? PS. The Android device is rooted.

From time to time, there is a directory (and files inside of it) that is created on the internal memory of my device. I keep deleting it, but after a few days/weeks, it's back. The folder in question, by the way, is Tencent. I already uninstalled the game associated with them long ago, but the directory keeps popping up. I would like to know what other app is creating it. I don't have that many apps, mainly social media ones and tools, and I think they are only associated with games. Searching around, I found an app that logs all accesses to files of the filesystem, but it doesn't show what app is doing it. The answer from https://android.stackexchange.com/q/122440 is not going to work in my case because these files are all 0 bytes so it's way too fast to catch the app creating them. Not to mention that the creation time is random. It could take days or weeks for the app to create it again. Anyone have some good ideas before going into detective mode as last resort? I'm firstly asking for an app because that would be the easiest way to monitor the filesystem. PS: My device is rooted.

In previous versions of Android, when my phone battery was going down quickly I could open an app like OS Monitor , see what process is using a lot CPU (often it was Evernote or Maps.me), and then kill that process. However, OS Monitor and similar apps aren't working with Android 7 anymore, I guess due to some change in the system. So I'm wondering, is there a way that would allow me to see what's consuming CPU in the latest version of Android?

I want to list all the files that an Android app is currently reading or writing, something like what Windows' Disk Activity in Resource Monitor does: > " class="img-fluid rounded" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 10px 0;" loading="lazy"> How can I do that?

I have two Sony Xperia XZ devices, bought both very recently in UK as used-with-warranty. One is working great, but the other (which has a 3 logo come up when booting) apparently has something using CPU all the time. Why I think so: - Phone is warm even when not used - CPU-Z and the like show frequency not falling under 1200 MHz, and usually over 1400 - while the other has it hovering under 1000 and sometimes hitting 330. - Antutu and especially GeekBench 4 results are worse than the "good" phone So how can I catch the "perpetrator" and get rid of it? AVG and MalwareBytes scans find nothing. And the phone behaved like it was just factory-reset when I started it, so I'm not sure a factory reset would be of much help.

I am looking for a way (preferably a tool) to measure the speed of RAM. There are tools which shows how much ram is occupied at a given point of time, but I couldn't find any tool which shows the speed (bandwidth) of RAM at any given point of time. In windows 10, one can see CPU bandwidth (like 1.5ghz or 2.6ghz) in Task Manager. So how do I monitor RAM in Android like Task Manager does?

From time to time my Samsung Galaxy S7 is starting to consume a lot of power, turns hot and eats 10% of charge in minutes. If I have less than 10% charge, it kills itself even if on external power. How to trace which application does this (and eliminate it)? I tried GSam battery monitor, but it can display per application data only in average from last full charge time. I.e. it can't trace proccess which worked only minutes. Are there any applications, which can trace simultaneously per time and per application?

I have a Google Pixel 2 XL and a Sony XAV-AX100. More often than not, when I connect the phone to the car, Android Auto is unusable. Everything is sooooo slow, that I have to reboot the phone. I can struggle to get Google Maps to work and if it does, it's often lagging behind so directions aren't accurate. Playing music through Google Play Music will work, eventually, but every few minutes, it will stop momentarily and then continue (much like a CD skipping). This happens to other audio apps such as Pocket Casts too. Once the phone has been rebooted, it works perfectly. I've removed all the apps I don't really need, as well as some that I found reported as bad for this online. Is there a way I can find out what is hogging the resources of my phone when I try to use Android Auto? I think the phone doesn't run as well at times of normal usage, but nothing like what I see in Android Auto. I have issues with the Sony XAV-AX100, which Sony are now refusing to resolve because my warranty expired, even though I reported these before it did!

My phone's SD card got stolen yesterday, and I'm trying to find a way to read the boot up logs. I had left it at work by accident, and I know that it had to have been stolen by one of our employees in the 8 hour window it was there. Now, I pretty much have my suspicion of who took it, but I need a definite point of evidence I can show my boss before I start asking to check our camera files (pointed outside of the breakroom, not actually one in it to certifiably catch anyone). So, seeing as my phone was on and charging the whole time I left it, that someone would have to take my battery out to take the SD card, and that the phone was already booted up when I came back and picked it up--I figure this is my way to tell exactly who it was by tracking back to that time in the room and seeing who exactly was there. I can't control what this person does with my SD card or the info on it, but I don't care too much seeing as I have nothing to hide. I'm just really pissed because I had a lot of family pictures and pictures of my late dog on there, and I want to pin the person for stealing my crap, tell them to return my card or get me a new one, and get them out of here. Also, this is unrelated to the boot files, but I connected my phone to my laptop and it shows some Android data folders were edited at a time when I wasn't with the phone yesterday (com.android.vending and com.google.android.youtube, which has a recently edited cache). I'm guessing this either has to do with an automatic update or someone using my phone...I can't see any files in the folder, only when they were last edited. If there's a way you can help me understand what's going on with this and to differentiate what happened, I would also appreciate it. Thank you!

Quick question to help me understand how my phone's performance is affected when an app terminates "irregularly". When an Android app crashes (or otherwise terminates irregularly), could the task keep running even though it's inaccessible? For example, when a Windows app (like Excel) crashes either "on it's own," or because of a programmatic error on my part, and I then restart Excel, the *Windows Task Manager* will sometimes show 2 or more instances of the application (sucking up resources even though the extra windows aren't visible/accessible) until I manually CtrlAltDel→End Task or Reboot. My question(s) are: - - Can the same thing happen when an Android app crashes? - If multiple instances were indeed running, would multiples show in Android Task Manager? - The Clear Memory button in RAM Managerisn't exactly descriptive of *what* it's "clearing". Is it doing anything helpful in cases like these? - Are the answers to these questions affected by whether or not the crash produces the standard Unfortunately, xxxxxx has stopped. Report/OK dialog (as opposed to just returning to the home screen)? - Is there a better method for keeping an eye on resource usage that might not be easily identified with builtin Android Task Manager? A quick explanation (or a point in the right direction) would be appreciated... As a coder (but not for Android!) the info I've found is either too simplified or too advanced to answer my questions. :) I'm running Kitkat 4.4.4 on Samsung Galaxy 3.

I'm worried about some activities showing up in logcat, but the "Application" field is empty on every entry. Is there some way to get this populated? WalletGuns and GnsSdk are related, but I can't identify what app is throwing the errors.

I have a couple apps I use regularly that take a *lot* of resources, the biggest hog is Vainglory which being essentially a desktop-class game uses most of the ram, CPU power and network bandwidth my Galaxy S5 has to offer when running. It works fine most of the time, but occasionally while I am playing, the operating system or other apps will start doing things in the background causing my framerate and ping to drop dramatically. Also when the app looses focus, even for just a second, it has to reload completely due to the large amount of memory it requires. Is there a way to tell Andriod to give high resource priority to particular apps and prevent other applications and processes from working in the background while those apps are running?

Except for disabling one app at a time or all at once and then enable them all slowly again (The Elimination method) - How do I identify what app is reading my disk ? it happens periodically and therefore very hard to debug. What happens is that the phone slows down to an almost unusable state and when opening "System Monitor" (3rd party app) i see that the Disk is reading at 90MB/s. But i cant see WHAT APP is reading ! I've looked everywhere for monitor apps but haven't been able to find anything useful. None of the monitor apps i've found shows the CPU / IO usage of other apps, seems like Android 7.0 is limited in this aspect. My phone (Sony Z5 Compact, Android 7.0) is NOT rooted !
