App cache cleaner

Been using it since I stopped using task killers. Works fine for me.

Unless you are using éclair or earlier versions of Android, task killers are at best a complete waste of time, at worst they are actually bad for your phone.

I know. Thats why I stopped using them :)

Explain...never used this before, nor have I used task killers either.

Somebody else can probably explain better but each application creates a cached file when you use it. Its the equivalent of temp internet files or cookies on a windows machine. The app cache cleaner deletes these files freeing up memory. When I had my OG EVO it was especially useful because I was always running out of memory.

The cache will just get recreated on boot.

I don't see how it would free up memory nor should you need to do that on phones today.

 

Dunno.. Maybe I don't understand the question.

Yes and no. The cache never goes away it just gets emptied out. When you reboot each app that reloads will start to insert data into its individual cache. As the user opens up and uses applications, those applications will insert data into there individual caches. Its easiest to equate them with cookies. Cookies don't go away until you clear them out. They automatically "reappear" as you surf the web.

    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update.
    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
