Norton Mobile Utilities Public Beta

[hardingn88]

I am running Norton Utilities beta version 1.0.2.93 on a unrooted nexus s 4g from sprint operating system android 2.3.7. Phone come with 2 GB internal and a 16GB USB storage single core processor and 512MB ram with that info my phone usually stay at about 12%cpu but while playing with app I noticed Norton utilities was making that around 90% if I quit touching screen it goes back to normal but if I even scroll down and back up its already back at 90% why would it do this? I did close all apps possible before doing this so there was nothing but operating system running. And the? What exactly does the installer do, I really don't understand please help

Hi hardingn88

Welcome to the Norton Community Forum :-)

With the CPU usage going up while touching and using the touch screen this from what

i find is fairly normal with most devices as i have the Samasung Galaxy S 2 with 1.2 GHz

dual core processor and 1 Gb of ram, (837 available) playing around with NMU UI i find

will sometimes bump the CPU up to 45 % , this usage can also be found by just scrolling

up and down on the NMU Device UI screen. And in a idle state the SGS2 sits on between

11 and 16%.

So the usgae you see with your device i would say is normal compared to what i see on

the SGS2.

As for the NMU Installer it will scan the device for any apk files that can be found on

the device weather they are in the internal memory or on the Micro SD Card and list the

search results. You can then share the apk files via email or other methods or you can

delete the apk files or select and install them using the Android applications installer.

I hope that info helps.

Cheers.
