Hi all,
I have a problem with HTC mail... it does not auto-refresh when the refreshing interval is set to 30mins or more. It is fine at 5, 10 and 15 min intervals but not more than that. I have tried this with both WiFi and 3G/GPRS but the results are the same. Any idea why it is so?? How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help
I have the same issue!
Any ideas?
me too
exept that mine does'nt work at all.. i have to manually refresh the mail regards the frequency setting
Any help guys??!!
.... do you kill the mail app with a task manager?
yes but that should not be the problem, should it? because obviously the app is scheduled to do its stuff at a specified time interval and it should take care of itself even if killed. And I do see that most of the time, the mail app does restart itself but fails to refresh emails.
the schedule is in the app itself if you kill it with a task killer then it wont update simple as

I understand that it is a very plausible explanation... however, from a slightly different perspective: when we use taskkiller to kill ALL tasks, it is noticed that after some time, some apps restart themselves. How does that happen? I was wondering that the Mail app might restart itself when it needs to do the update etc... that's what I thougth which may very well be wrong.
interresting.. will try not to kill it and report back
Anybody found an answer? I have to wake up my phone from standby before it does it's scheduled recieving?

Hi
I'm currently having problem with apps they are auto opening themselves.
Sometimes at startup when I open my open and use Helix/ADW all launcher manu apps are open automatically. It eats like 50MB of memory and battery.
And even while my screen turns off it opens app. I was sleeping and my screen is turn off/sleep and I check task panel it got apps open even the screen is lock.
Got No Idea on this. Why my apps are auto opening.
And do I need to debrand?
I just got a unit Unlocked
X10i
Baseband 1.0.14
Build Number R1FA014
Kernel 2.6.29-rel [email protected]#2
Do I really need to debrand?
Does it reset my phone and my settings/apps will be deleted?
TIA
It's not the X10, it's an Android thing.
Then how to get rid of this auto opening app? I never exp. this on 1.5 and 2.1 on my HTC Hero just on this 1.6
Get Automatic Task Killer or something similar, and set it to kill apps on open...if you find the apps opening affects your performance.
Also, if they're apps that sync with a service, make sure all syncing is off, or they'll keep coming up anyway, to try to sync with the cloud.
as a personal anecdote, once I stopped using task killers, the phone started running more stable and quicker.
So Task killers are not good?
I check my Task Panel once i boot my phone tons of APPS are open
Like Bluetooth file transfer
SMS Backup and Restore
Email
Alarm Clock
Calender
Settings Voice Dialer
It opens on startup.
seriously I just boot up my phone and use ADW Launcher and those open up automatically? what does those do? for startup? there are tons more like 25 apps on startup. This thing is not good since I'll do task killing always even the phone is screen off. My phone is opening Voice Dialer Handsent SMS even though i dont have message or calls received.
It's like every min or hour I'll do task killing it kills battery
Well, Alarm Clock has to be on, so it knows when to go off... If you don't have any alarms set, delete all the alarms that are in it.
Email is on by default, since it's a smart phone. If you don't have an account set up, email won't sync, and thus, isn't really doing anything. Calendar will attempt to sync with google if you set it up, but if not, again, shouldn't be doing anything. SMS will start to monitor for incoming SMSes. A lot of services start so they're there when you try to start them up. Basically, anything that has to sync to the internet to update will start automatically.
If things like Photoshop Mobile or a game or something start up, those should be killed.
Stand alone apps that don't access the internet should have no business starting up on their own.
Some people on here claim task killers are great and help a lot... some claim they do nothing. I'm torn, because the phone feels a bit faster than when I used the task killer everytime I unlocked the phone. If your phone is new, cycle the battery a few times, and let it 'break in' and, eventually, the battery life should improve.
Thanks. I'm just a little bit worried that I'm not aware that there are many task opening with me noticing or knowing it and use much battery as I do.
Some apps open automatically
I know that apps auto close ok , here's its invers..
Any how use some task killers frequently to kill them....
Or just unistall them

Android works by loading EVERYTHING it can into memory, up to a threshold and then removes apps from memory if they're not being used and memory is required for newly initiated applications.
Some apps have a terminate and stay resident approach and are seen as 'services' and they just stay active no matter what. Email, Calendars and status bar and etc never leave memory cause they're all waiting for there big moment, an email, an appointment, a finger touch etc.
Using a task killer doesn't really do anything, cause as soon as you 'kill' the process and the moment there is available memory again the process will just return to active/inactive memory because that's the way Android memory processing works.
If you have root access you can delete/freeze system apps you don't require.
A 'slim' Android v2.3 ROM shouldn't have more than approx 110 system apps. Less that 95 if you're good.

Most of the apps you listed are system apps and will, by their nature find there way into memory all the time. That's just how it is.
After a few hours of use many of the non-used apps will drop out of memory and others will take their place.
Loading applications into memory has a time and processing cost and so if it's already in memory, it's quicker to access.
However the Android system doesn't know your usage traits at start-up and that's why some less used system applications may be seem in memory until they're weeded out by those you do use. Again, nothing to worry about,
Using an XPERIA X10i with ~384MB of memory leaves little room for bloatware and thus a lean running machine is the order of the day for the XPERIA X10i.
Hi @all,
I have a problem. I´ve got my mobile data flat today. Everything is working fine but my X10 (or an app) is transmitting all the time. In 5 hours 50MB had been transmitted without doing anything on the phone. The phone was only in idle mode on the desk.
So how to find out which app is transmitting? NetCounter only shows that 50MB are transmitted but not from which app.
So, the point is that my battery drains very fast.
And the second point is, that after 200MB my UMTS flat is converted to a GPRS flat.
Can you help me?
Quite a few people reported this problem with data transfer.
You might want to disable Automatic search for updates in Settings, About Phone, Software update and also somebody said that disabling google talk might help.
Give it a try.
Thx. How do I disable google talk?
I didn't try but i assume you can use a startup auditor or any other app to do that.
Uncheck it and then restart the phone.
I had the problem with the engadget widget.
With searching for updates and this app every day my mobile made up to 150mb traffic...

Disable 'background data usage' under data synchronization in settings. Gtalk does infact use a lot of data... but you may also lose auto sync of your calendar due to this.
Hm... I don´t want to lose my calender sync. so I will keep this option on.
I made a Reset on my phone and will try to detect which app is causing this data usage by installing app by app and check the data transmission.
Seems, that an app caused the high data usage.
Since the reset (yesterday) the data usage is normal. I´ve now installed some basic apps like
Netcounter
Home++
Beautiful widgets
and everything is ok.
So now the phone is turned on since 18 hours with data enabled background data usage to sync gmail and calender and the used traffic is about 2 MB with updating the weather widget and received 4 mails.
So my conclusion is, that it has nothing to do with gmail/gtalk/calender sync.
Thanks anyway for all your help.
it was me that said google talk a few days ago caused me to use 70mb in about 6 hours, i now use an app called taskpanel and ive got google talk set to auto kill and everything else set to ignore. since then ive had no problems with data usage and all my calendars and mail etc works as it should.

im pretty sure if you started up google talk you would have the same problem again, ive been having it intermittently since i got the phone about twice every week but since i killed it its not happened once.
I´m not using Google Talk, so I have never started it bevore. But to be sure I will disable it by taskpanel.
GEEEEEZZZZZ
I just got my X10 three days ago, did the 2.1 upgrade two days ago and have already spent R150 just on data...its rediculous!!!!
Previously i had the Sony ericsson p1i and the X1i and didnt have this problem.
What app can i dounload to detect how much MB is being used and what app is using it.
How do i disable google talk?

I think the only way is to download an app from market called titanium backup
and select to disable (or uninstall it)
but to do it you will have to root your phone
If you remove gtalk you can't use market any more.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
its rediculous...there must be an app to block, limit data and tell us which app is consuming most MB.
PLS guys pls help me out...pls guys pls
Hi folks,
I have a peculiar problem. I'm using Tasker to kill some apps. One of the apps has a persistent notification icon and it refuses to be killed (even with root). The notification icon is gone for a second but will always come right back. Using pstree I tried to find out if there was a watchdog process keeping the app alive, but I found none. Also it is not hooked to any events according to Autorun manager. A force close under "app management" always works.
What is going on?
This seems like an answer that has been asked before. So off course I have searched. I found similar questions (examples: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854858 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040841 ) but no answers.
Who can help me? I'm really at a dead-end.
what app is it? Some apps (especially system apps) can't be closed, and if does gets killed, OS programs it to restart almost immediately after it's been killed.

This is actually Android-by-design. Apps are supposed to be killed from time to time to conserve resources (e.g. memory), and also restarted transparently to the user. This is handled by the ActivityManager. You can view it as Android swappes app's instead of swapping memory. This to improve the real time performance of the device. When someone calls you, you don't want to wait half a minute for the phone to swap out Angry Birds before it can load the Phone app ...
Hence, killing app's will most often only give very short term effect.

The EMUI seems to be very quick to kill apps running in background which is mostly a great thing (too many apps are running background service for nothing).
Unfortunately, some times, it's useful.
I'm using Tasker but it's regularly killed by system (sometimes it last 2 days before being killed and some times only few hours)
Normally, the problem can be avoid in parameters with "protected apps" which normally allow you to select some apps that can not be killed. I've added Tasker to it but it still being killed...
I've also tried to put Tasker as a system app, not working too.
Tasker is also configured as "running in foreground" to avoid being killed, it's also not working.
Did some of you have the same problem with Tasker or another app htat need to run constantly in background ?
I've been using tasker for the last couple of weeks since I got my phone with no problems.
It's on the protected list with only one other app.

I have been having issues on Tasker although are slightly different to the OPs. I also have Tasker set as protected and running in the foreground and I can see that it is running in the Taskbar. However, I have found that the tasks aren't being triggered at the times when they are supposed too. It seems that they will only trigger if I disable and then reenable Tasker each time.
The tasks that I have setup were imported from my old Nexus 5 where they were working fine, they are also the same tasks that I was using on a Moto G. Therefore I'm sure that the issue is with the phone and not Tasker itself.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?

I've just noticed in the Tasker log that the TaskService keeps getting stopped, I presume that this causing the scheduled tasks not to trigger. But I don't know what could be causing the service to stop, I'm not running any app killers and just the stock power manager
I had a problem with protected apps being killed with all versions of the firmware until I installed b170, which solved it.
Try installing b170 and see if it solves your problem too.

Thanks for your suggestion however I think I now know that the issue is being caused by the Power Saving mode being set to "Smart", I have switched it back to "Performance" and I can now see that the tasks are being triggered as expected. So I guess that there is an issue with the "Smart" setting where it is still killing Protected apps. BTW I'm running B121

That's great
My problem persisted even after I set the power saving mode to performance.
I used tasker with honor 6, nexus 4 and now honor 7. the only mobile that doesn't work is honor 7, even with last version . Last week finally I uninstalled tasker with 4 months triying to work. the substitute is automateit and automate
Still in b140 and the problem seems to have been solved b itself...
Thank you all for your answers
Having the exact problem with my Huawei phone.
Model: SCL-L21
EMUI: SCL-L21C432B130
edit: I was wrong fortunately. It was not about Tasker and/or EMUI. I was using the "Last Cell" location Profile in Tasker and it didn't work properly so I thought it means Tasker is getting killed by EMUI battery manager (it's really aggressive). Fact is, Huawei is just good at switching cell towers rapidly, choosing between 3G, 2G or 4G while accepting a call or in other circumstances. This was the problem, Tasker is still protected from EMUI battery manager (2 days +).
Just add Tasker to the list of protected apps (PhoneManager - Settings - Protected Apps)
Hey,
I just installed H2OS and I can say it's pretty nice. I could configure anything to meet my demands.
Only one thing bothers me. For example if I close the Facebook Messenger from task manager I no longer get notification when I receive messages. I even tried to give app permission to autorun but no success. Also the apps hibernation feature is turned off.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

The Task Manager of h2Os is different from the normal Recent App Killer on Android, when we swipe to left it kills the app as well as all the background services associated with it ... SO I suggest you swipe it to the right and lock it in Recent's menu ...
Also many times when on Wifi and phone goes in deep sleep mode the apps are automatically closed or put in hibernation mode and don't come out of it until we open that app .
