Random 100% cpu usage. A.k.a. AGGRAVATING LAG!

---

About 3 times a day, my evo will start to lag horribly. I check system pannel and it says the cpu usage is 100%. Then i look at the processes and theres like 3 apps running and then the normal system processes. Anyone know why?

Which apps are running and maxing your CPU usage? All 3 or 1 of 3 could be the culprit? Apps like Watchdog can tell you what app is blowing up and you can take it from there. I've had a few get out of hand and killing once or uninstalling / reinstalling has corrected it. Clearing data / cache for the app might help. Gotta figure out which ones are maxing it first.
blah blah effin blah

Usually its my normal stuff like handcent, lookout, ane maybe music. Its like one minute its fine and the next its lagging like crazy.

try what conqu1stador said with the watchdog app and if you still cant figure it out, try a different kernel.

Yeah i got the lite version. It looks like a very very nice app. Thanks for your replys.

So it just happened again, finally. I looked at Watchdog right away to see what was causing it, and turns out it wasnt an app at all. Its "Android System". Now, to be honest, im not really sure what that means ( im guessing it means my rom or OS or something like that). Can anyone shed some light on what is happening?

If it matters im running myns 2.2 rls5, and kings #9 kernel.

I was having a similar problem, figured out it was the stock voicemail app, froze it with TB and problem went away.

More than likely you're having the dreaded wakelock issue caused by the combination of baseband 2.15.00.11.19 & PRI 1.90_003. Downgrade your PRI to 1.77_003. That should alleviate the wakelock and battery drainage. If you do not have this combination, download and install the aLogcat app. After initiating the app, look for and pay attention to anything colored in red.

Only time this happens to me is when my phone is syncing my accounts
