Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY 4G shows 100% CPU usage!

[Anita Bath]

I have just switched from my old phone to the android xperia 4G by AT&T with latest android system in it! The phone is constantly showing the 100% CPU usage! When I searched in to my mobile I found that kernel of my mobile is taking 80% of usage! I can’t shut down the kernel as it is the main core in the mobile! Why it is consuming so much of CPU usage? If anyone has any information then reply!

As far as the problem with CPU usage is concerned i would suggest you to visit the service center because it looks like serious problem and experiments with this will destroy your warranty!

If you are using phone by AT&T, then this tells more about your problem! Though this company says that they are providing a latest update it is not true and they always provide late release! Te update they have is either old one or for phones with no SIM card! Go to setting and check about android version and build number! You can update the phone from there also or connect to your PC and update your phone!

I found a cool application for making back up of your SMS/MMS and call log:
Just download "SMS backup+" application to make backup of all of your SMS and call logs! This application makes backup in your Gmail account or in Google calendar!MMS service is not supported yet but will be available soon! You should enable the “IMAP” in Gmail and set the correct time zone for you!
