Strange little problem I’ve got here. I’m using the brilliant Asus UX31E ultrabook which is a 1.8ghz i7.
Didn’t have any problems running windows 7, but just installed a fresh windows 8 last week.
I’ve installed all the updates I could find from the ASUS website but here’s the problem, with windows 7 the fans would only ever come on if you were really pushing it playing a game. Using windows 8 the fans will regularly come on just browsing in chrome.
when you open task manager the computer details recognise that it’s only a 1.8 processer yet it often is being utilized as high as 2.8ghz! This is making the machine overheat, turn on the fans and sometimes have to turn itself off.
I’ve been into power settings and reduced the maximum power usage to 70% and that usually does the job, but then it quickly forgets this setting and restores it to 100% (2.7GHZ!). In task manager the highest task utilisation wise is ‘system’ but no idea exactly what it’s doing..
Is there anything I can do to have greater control over the processor speed or investigate what might be causing the problem?
Asus had some power control software for windows 7 but don’t seem to offer it for windows 8.
Cheers guys

Have you done a upgrade or clean installation from windows 8
if you had done a upgrade please do a clean installation of windows 8
if not then go to the advance power settings in the control panel and set processor cooling state to active

I was wondering if it was a true clean install or upgrade. I read he installed a fresh copy nut wasn't sure if that was meaning clean (wiped the drive) or what. I didn't really notice.alot of heat issues with my last laptop I upgraded; I chose to keep personal files and settings. I do have about 180gb of pictures and movies which were scattered in multiple locations on win7. Now my media is very orderly, as well as my 20gb of music.
Saying all that, I believe when I installed the media center that it cleaned up my files, or it may have just been windows 8, but either way it took some work on wimdows8 to organize my hard drive much better than before. I have scanned my hd for the need to defrag it, but it shows to be dang near perfect. If you have alot of media on your machine I wonder if its doing file management, which is making it run hot, etc. I know phones are different but when I load a new ROM it takes it several hours to slow down the media system usage.
How many days have you been running the system with wimdows8 ? Do you have a lot of Files/media on your machine ?

The majority of the time, the issue isn't with the Operating System as much as it is with a single application. Check task manager while your computer is running and see what applications are causing the processor to go nuts. If it is indeed a system application, then I would suggest doing a complete wipe and fresh install of Windows 8. You can back up your authentication key by saving a specific folder in the File Browser. Do a search on MyDigitalLife for that information.
Doing a quick search on your Processor, it runs standard at 1.8 ghz, and the 2.9 jump is completely normal. It's a feature called "Turbo Speed". With Windows 8 came upgraded drivers, which probably enabled this feature that you've never noticed.

yes it is true
whoever each and every application running sometimes FC itself or crashes while operation which leaves a unmarked thread or loos end of the application (which also termed as viruses when they start further spreading the system)
in system which were already troubling you creates a problem due to upgrade
Hey xda-ers,
I have been plagued by this issue for quite some time and wanted to see if it was just me, or if others share my pain.
Since migrating to Nougat I have found that my phone starts to slow down and freeze after some usage. Typically after leaving some apps open.
The problem immediately goes away once i hit Clear All on the recents, thus I think it is a RAM issue.
In all kernerls or Roms I have tried the problem persists, even if selecting "Aggressive mode" for low memory killer.
I always thought that leaving apps open will not impact ram, as android "understands" theses are not being used (hence why all "ram managers" are just snake oil).
So is anyone else getting this slow down after a few hours of use?
Any tips/tricks to help with this?
TL;DR: how do i fix constant low memory on Nougat roms?
It must be a particular app/set of apps that would be causing this. I see from your signature that you are on Nitrogen OS, as am I. In my particular case, I have never seen more than 1.2GB RAM of the 1.8GB used, the usual average is more in the mid to high 800 Meg range. You could check for yourself in settings, under memory, the current usage is shown. There is a further sub menu in there that shows per app memory used. Check and see if you can identify the culprit.
P.S: I do use Greenify, maybe that keeps the RAM usage low? Maybe someone else can chime in with their usage as well.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I also use Greenify, and when checking the app usage (which i have monitored for a few months), I see that OS uses around 1.2, and chrome and other apps around 100-200mb each.
However, it seems that the moment I have less than 400mb "free" it starts to glitch.
Also, issue persists even with Tesla Rom (which is what i moved to a few months ago).
Maybe this is just the limit of the N4 with newer apps...
For me the android OS is currently around the 350MB mark. Tap on Android OS and see what is using the memory. Maybe the cache is running high for you?
Hey everyone, I just installed an android head unit in my car and i'm having an issue I can't seem to resolve. Its generic, so not sure of the brand, here are the specs.
✔LASTEST ANDROID 7.1 OS + POWERFUL HARDWARE: Build-in QUAD-CORE T3 K2001M(ARM COTEX-A7=high effect and low consumption version of ARM Cortex-A15, much better than COTEX-A9 ) 1.6 GHz CPU,1GB DDR3 RAM,16GB NAND Memory and Wifi,Bluetooth,GPS module
it says its 7.1, but my son said its actually 6.1 renamed as 7.1 as its still running marshmallow.
heres whats going on. any app that has sound, except the defult player, will autoclose when I leave the program. If i go to spotify, it will have the icon on the top, when i go back to my home screen, it will continue to play for 5-10 seconds, then go away and the music will stop. I'm completly new to android (switched from iphone and macbooks yesterday), and trying to get over this learning curve. any help would be appreciated!
It's probably the lack of RAM. You've only got 1 GB. The Android system uses a large portion and Google and its services (running in the background) also use a large amount. Then you've got Spotify running which is a huge memory consumer. The system just doesn't have enough to keep all programs fully running in the background. When an app is put on the foreground it has to reinitialize
This is common for 1 GB devices, be it tablet, phone or head unit. Over the years Google memory consumption has grown significantly. That is combination with Spotify is not ideal. If you can live without Google helping you, you could try stopping (freezing) most of its services. Also use a decent audio player like PowerAmp
This is definitely a RAM issue. As android runs out of RAM it will close off non essential apps running in the background.
thats what i was thinking, thanks for the help. How much ram is recomended for when I purchase my next one?
also, can more ram be added to these units? Also it won't let be disable apps, only force stop them.

Unfortunately, No. RAM is soldered directly on the motherboard.
How much RAM in a new unit then? Well, better to be save than sorry. Current mainstream head units, based on the PX5 (sold around $300), are equipped with 4 GB of internal RAM, which should be more than enough. Cheaper models have around 2GB, which should be good now but certainly is not future proof.
Depending on the Android version and/or firmware used can choose between 'Force stop' and 'Disable'. Disable prevents the app from being restarted at boot.
However, the system can prevent you to do this. If that's the case, you'll need to 'Root' (jailbreak in apple terms ) your device. Only then you'll have permission to disable a (system) app/services or delete it altogether.
thanks for the help! I just bought this unit to replace the broken factory stereo in my beater to see if I wanted to purchase one for some of my other cars. I guess I'll have to step up and get get one with some more ram.........and a damn volume knob. lol
I have a unit with 2 GB and I also have the same issue. In the past I had a head unit which also had 2GB of memory and did not face this issue. Is there any other solution for this?
Am I the only one experience problems with the phone being slow after few hours of usage? I use it for SNapchat, Facebook and Instagram. Nothing else, and it takes minutes to load the apps. I have contacted Nokia Support and they won't help. So I was hoping if a happy soul would be helpful and help answering my question!
EDIT! Huge thanks to Lincoln357 for a temp fix until Android 9 is released!
Hey guys,
I was very annoyed with Nokia 5 performance, contacted the support and they told me that all of that will be fixed in the next big update (Android 9, Q1 2019), so I poked around like I usually do and managed to speed up my phone significantly. This is what I did: first, enable developer settings, dial down animations to 0.5x or even off, then enable GPU rendering as well as tether hardware acceleration, set 4 processes in the background and voila! Phone is much much faster and more responsive, it almost feels like another device! Try this, you have nothing to lose.
I usually find closing down all of the open apps(Press the menu button to open task manager then swipe the applications to the left) usually helps. Failing that a power off then back on again. At least once a week
Thats weard
My Nokia 5 works perfectly with Android 8 and apps like Snapchat etc.
As I bought it I disabled most of the GoogleApps, like Google Music or Google Mail and most of the time the phone runs very smooth.
The only (small) problem I have is that Android close Snapchat in the background, so it needs a few seconds till I can use the app. But except this, I've never had any problem like you
Maybe you must clear the cache once a week with an app like CCleaner or your internal storage is full and Android have problems to works good
Otherwise go the settings and look what app uses much rescources
I hope that it helped you a bit

2 options: roll back to Nougat or restart your phone every day or two. I found that when you get used to restarting, it's not that bad. Before going to sleep set alarm clock and just restart the damned thing. Or in the morning while having a coffee or getting dressed. Every day the phone is like new. And RAM is cleaned up, so it can store more apps (that works I believe with all the phones) (Nokia 5 is capable of holding 15+ apps in the background for a full day after restart and like 4-5 after 2 days).
Yeah, here too. When I got the phone it was running Nougat 7.1.2 and updated same evening to Oreo. I haven't got a chance to see how it worked on Nougat but now phone is slow, laggy, sometimes unresponsive etc. I also contacted Nokia support but there's no help from them. My kid has Ulefone S7 with MTK CPU and 2 gigs of ram and that phone is lightning fast compared to mine, which is absurd, it even has better Antutu score. Fact is that Oreo for Nokia 5 isn't polished enough and makes the phone slow and Nokia itself won't do anything about it yet.
Uninstall Facebook, wipe cache

I had the same problem after updating Nokia 5 to Android 8.1. This is how I fixed it:
1. Uninstall Facebook and Instagram - they are notorious resource hogs
2. Wipe cache partition (no need for factory reset)

Doesn't work for me. I've tried before to tweak Nokia 5, no avail!
Now i can even FREEZE the System with google Earth!!! Just like i did in my previous NOKIA 5. You just have to browse on GE, jumping from site to site, and eventually, Nokia 5 will crack! This show up massive problems with, maybe memory, I/O... i don't really know, but this hardware has severe faults in it...

But 4 processes aren't much...?
I think that the system would kill almost every app in the background... The phone should be faster, but the apps need more time to start

Holy s***, that actually worked! Thanks for the temporary fix! I'm also hyped for Android 9 haha.

Did not work for me.
The best thing that worked for me was to install apps to manage the apps that BOOT up with the phone... even though i don't understand that logic, because after using ALL in ONE TOOLBOX, and disabling all the APPS, and enabling them again, i had then fewer apps on the list... I don't fully understand this mechanism...
Still, i'm going nuts with my SECOND NOKIA 5!
It's performance is problematic, i can crash it in a few minutes with apps like Google Earth, etc. Using this phone is a real PAIN: https : //community.phones.nokia.com/support/discu*ssions/topics/7000022723
Can you please tell me what's the SPEED of the INTERNAL MEMORY (write speed) that you are getting? I'm having a discussion here, and someone says that there is NOT possible that a MEMORY CARD could have better performance than the internal memory, BUT IT DOES! In both my NOKIA 5 (one i returned, the other... still problematic!)
I've used https : //play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co*m.a1dev.sdbench
and https : //play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co*m.andromeda.androbench2
Results are consistent!
BOTH internal memory and CARD have 50 to 60Mb/s WRITE SPEED! This is NONSENSE! :\
Any other phone even with unknown chinese brands have MUCH higher internal memory WRITE speed...
This solution worked beautifully for me especially after i did a factory reset aswell. Also got a expansion card and installing most of the apps on it. Seems to be the OS quite a bit if the crappy internal memory card isn't too full
After much trouble I decided to switch to Xiaomi and I didn't regret it! The phone with the same amount of ram and quad core newer CPU works much faster than Nokia 5. Games are loading faster, there's no lag at all, everything is pretty much better. Couldn't wait for Android 9 to see if it would speed up the phone and Nokia support didn't help me at all. This phone is even a bit cheaper than Nokia was 4 months ago. My problems are solved.
When I upgraded my 6t to Android 11 my banking apps are saying that my phone is rooted when it's not. So I had to downgrade.
Anyone else have that problem or any ideas ?
Thanks
Not sure why that happened except the apps weren't compatible with 11. No shock there.
On both my N10+'s I could "upgrade" to 11.
I remain on 9 and 10 because 11 would trash them in my opinion. Scope storage and forced encryption are fully active on 11*. Did you notice the permission popups on 11?
If there are features that 11 offers you just gots to have, go for it and take the usability hits. The one you described likely has a workaround or the cause will be corrected with an update in either the app or firmware. Many of 11's worst flaws though like scoped storage will remain and be in 12 as well.
*scoped storage doesn't seem to be fully active on N10+ that's running on it. That may be partially a Samsung mod or simply because I'm using older app versions. Both devices run nearly identical with no major usability issues in 10 that I've seen other than killing Karma Firewall's logging feature and 2 overlay apps rendered non-functional. My old WPS office app is fully functional as are photo galleries.

Thanks for the reply. I think I may have seen popups but can't remember. I downgraded back to 10.3.12 and everything is back to normal. There is now an update to the android 11 to 11.11 and I'm not sure if I wan to take the chance again. It's too much work to revert back.
I contacted oneplus but they were not much help. Just said to send in some logs.
Also I should have pointed out that my phone is the t-mobile converted to international. Maybe android 11 is picking up on that ?
I would leave it on 10, it's a better OS in my opinion.
I had this problem due to a automatic google app restore on my 6t.
The phone was not rooted but got the superSU installed (not working but it was there).
This was the reason on my phone why banking apps didn't work.
