App to monitor CPU usage?

[Mysteryman1]

I have a Samsung Tab 5e and have a widget installed that shows amount of memory and CPU being used.

I have noticed that quite often when the tablet is fired up then the CPU usage is pretty high (80-90%) even when I am doing nothing at all on it. This makes me wonder if I have a rogue app or service running that is gobbling up the CPU.

Are there any apps or, indeed, anything in Android that will allow me to see what apps are running and what resources they are consuming. - something like Ctrl-Alt-Del, Task Manager in Windows would be great!

Thanmks

You mentioned that you see this when the tablet is fired up -- do you mean that you're doing a cold start of the tablet from a powered off state? And how long does the CPU usage stay high? It would be normal for CPU usage to spike right after powering on, since a number of processes are probably starting up in the background.

Thanks for reply.

No, not from cold start.....it is just when I "wake" it up from standby.

Ok, and how long does the spike last? Waking from standby probably still requires some processes to start back up.

Also, you can give this app a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glgjing.captain

Great, thanks, i will give that a try although it doesn't look quite like what I am after. Is there anything that does what Windows Task Manager does i.e. cpu/RAM info for individual apps/procceses?

You should have Device Care on your device that can tell you those things
