Help CPU going crazy.

My GNex seems to be running really high with the CPU. When it's idle, the phone is fine. But when ever I try to open up an app it going mental and slows right the way down. I would be able to deal with it if it was only now and then, but it seems to happen more often than not. And when I'm trying to scroll or search for something through google and it takes ages....it's not so fun.

Does anyone else have this problem/know what I can do to fix it?

I have not had this issue. You can install this free app to monitor your CPU and see if there is one or two apps that are the issue. Then of course, delete them if able.

Also, have you powered down your phone lately?

Cheers. I'll use this for a few days and see what it brings up. It has been a while since I have turned it off but it has been doing this for sometime and I have turned it off in the past and it still acts up.
 
My CPU is flying too. Cant figure it out. mmcqd/0 seems to run a bit. I cant figure out why but my CPU IO is running 20%+ and total 99%

Tried killing and deleting some apps.... havent found the problem yet

Any ideas

So I've had the app installed for a month and a bit and it seems to be chrome and the keyboard that's doing the bulk of the problems; com.android.chrome:sandboxed_process2 (not only process2 but process 3/4/5 etc) as well as "Android Core (home Screen)" and "Android System" that's pinged up a few times. Any one got any ideads?

I love chrome on my phone and I don't have any issues with CPU. But I know there are many choices that some of the smarter people on this forum use instead of chrome. Dolphin is a name I see often. Perhaps if you are able to, you can switch from chrome to one of those.

Also, which keyboard? I use swype mostly and it occasionally gets higher but never too high.

Hm, chrome rocks too much to lose. If I can find a way to fix this rather than use another browser, I'd prefer it. I'm just using the stock keyboard.
