Hi x8 owners,
I have tried a lot of Task Manager, but i haven't found workable "kill all" function because when I push it, then the phone app closes as well and I must to enter the PIN code all the time i used "kill all" option.
Interesting that some "kill all" apps works fine on first try, and do not ask the PIN code after memory clean, but after phone restart this situation changes.
Anybody knows workable solution for kill all?
What should is ignore on "kill all"?
My only chance to switch off the PIN code security and after "kill all" the phone signing in automatically. That's not a good solution for me, because i am a non-prepaid user, so i have to take care about my phone security and my bill as well.
Thank you bros.
Using task killers is not good for the system. Android has an automated ram management system. Use task killers only for rogue apps(better force close it)...
As for your problem I have no idea I don't get any pin when I used kill all(using advanced task killer free)

I'm glad to see your solutions, guys.
The problem is that i don't find "Backup and Restore" app or service on my SonyEricsson X8 phone with Android 1.6.
Why?
maybe you had it to ignore list...
This only happen to me if I run a task killer while USB Debugging is enabled. Try disabling it and check again.

I certainly don't see how they are 'bad' for the system. I kill off apps that could potentially using up my credit in the background to download ads. And, you know, when you use a computer you don't leave every single program open, and wait for the system to automatically kill it when it needs more ram.
Why use an app to kill apps, anyway? Android comes with a perfectly capable applications manager.
better you see the android flowchart system first, android can kill your app when it's very needed like when your memory is too low
use advance task manager
Try A+ Elite Task killer
Works great on my X8

Have you ever wondered just what is running in the background, using up all your memory, draining your battery and why/how apps can start themselves back up even after you have stopped them running either through the settings menu or with a task killer............
I did, so I looked into this app and this is what I've figured out so far.
Some apps (Google maps for example, as this is one of the worst culprits I've found so far) have rules built into them which can start the app running in the background whenever a certain parameter is met on your phone, this means that no matter how many times you kill the app it can always find a rule to get going again which is another reason you shouldn't use a task killer as they create an endless cycle app starts task killer kills it app starts again task killer kil........ you get the picture? Which often ends up using more resources which our wildfires are seriously lacking.
Some of the rules are ridiculous too such as Google maps can start itself simply by you plugging in the phones charger.
Well anyway back to the point, this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en autostarts can disable those rules (needs root access) and the best way to use it I feel is like this.
Start the app and wait a minute for it to load, then hit your menu button and choose group by application .
Search through the list and disable the parameters for apps you don't want running in the background.
Be very careful with system apps as some can stuff up the phone.
This app increases the speed of my phone big time and allows me to control what us running and when. I'd say its the best app I've ever bought.

Hi would this effect v6 supercharged script if i used this? this sounds a good app
Not to my knowledge, I'm running v6 too.
All it does is break the rules so an app you don't need in the background can't start until you allow it to by selecting it from the app drawer, then if you close/kill the app when you're done with it it shouldn't start up again by itself.

Thanks for reply. I will get it now. Can i ask a quick question? How do display your setup on each post? do you write it each time or copy paste? Sorry, its just new to commenting here and only been reading the forum for a year, learning lol.
---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------
sorry, me again could i just ask you what you set Google maps permissions in Autostart? as i can see, Ive turned all off apart from bottom 2. As the permissions seem not needed.
The way I set it up is all or nothing, that way every loophole is closed for apps I don't want running.
You can change your signature by clicking on your username top right, from there I can't remember as I'm not at a PC.
Click around in your profile till you find signature tab or edit signature.

Thanks for help Ive set one up now. I have found a logo picture from Google images of cm7.
I hope i haven't copied anyone's but if i have please pm me and ill change it.
Interesting app, will definitely try soon.
Feck me sideways!!!
Best app ever. Period.
Thanks for telling me about this app.
So all i have 2 do is to cross out apps that run when i "reboot"?
This is the 1st option of autostarts.
Thats all ?
Kind of but if an app doesn't really need to run, look at this picture and read the labels,
For example Google maps can start itself by plugging in your charger or installing a new app.

So to me the best way to deal with it would be to cancel everything then it will only start when i want it to and if you close it properly it won't hang about in the background.

Hi There. I'am searching for a way to kill an app after using it. Of course there are tools like advanced task killer, but some application will start automatically again and again after killing them with this tool.
Exactly I'am asking for stopping QQ Messenger. If I force stop this app it will stay stopped, but is there a way to create a shortcut or something simular, so I dont have to go into the whole menue to do this?
Regards, Sebastian
Is your Phone running cm7?Cause in cm7 you can force stop an app holding the back button for 2seconds
Sry for my bad English
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Yes there is CM7 on it and I know this trick. But sometimes the wrong app switch to the front and I kill the wrong one.
A Shortcut or small App to kill other Apps would be great. For example something like the old "stop skype".
Nobody can help?
If you're using ADW that came with cm7. Long press the app icon on the home screen, choose Application infos, that will take you directly to the app's manage application which you can force kill

How about 'SwipePad'
Giving an app called 'SwipePad' a go which is available in the market. Within the app you can add a shortcut to Context Panel. Basically when you have the app open, trigger Swipepad from within the app and select Context Panel and force close.
also need this kind of app
I'm also looking for an app that can force stop white list apps with a single tap on its widget.
Going to info and hitting force stop is annoying, so this app should have root access to automatically
do it it for me. I use Super Manager and OS Monitor, but they can't force stop apps in the discribed way.
Advanced Task Killer can't do it either, i unistalled it.
So if someone knows about an app with this capability, or if someone has the knowledge to program smth.
like this, please make a thread and post a link here.

Use "Autorun Manager" from Play Store. From its settings, check "Prevent Restart" to disable an app which restart automatically.

Thanks, tried it out , but this is not what we are looking for, so case not closed.
The app should force stop/kill apps and their widget services with their annoying notifications that can't really be disabled the easy way!

When you hit the multitask button on your phone and swipe the stop away. That's not really closing the app its still running

I thanked you by mistake instead of quoting. You're talking about the recent apps screen since ICS, but the OP is talking about Gingerbread. Also, in ICS and JB, if you swipe away an app from the recent apps screen, it's really being closed. Not running in the background. You can check your free RAM before and after swiping away an app to see if it's fully closing or not. Also if you open the app again, it'll take a considerable time rather than open instantly. This is because the app needs to be loaded into RAM all over again, which wouldn't happen if it wasn't fully closed.

How the heck do you shut the applications you are not using anymore? I have a bunch of stuff on and I cant shut them off from the task manager as they dont show there. I cant see and exit or close options off their menu either... Task manager only shows the last 6 used, I cant see all I have open. Do I need an app to close the apps?

Long hold on the Home button brings up your last 6 recent. You still have to press task manager button.
Also Android auto closes programs when it's ready too. They say you use more battery when you constantly close them.

While in task manager if you select the RAM tab, then click clear memory, it will stop everything and only start the necessary system apps again.

With the way android handles multitasking, the manual shutdown of apps is unneeded unless the app is misbehaving.

Optional feature to fade the volume out before the app gets killed). App also contains a threshold killing option (set the lowest amount of RAM in megabytes before process are killed), recurring killing (kill processes at set intervals), customized kill level (by importance), option to kill all but excluded or simply kill the ones you've selected, all completely customizable and much more.
Features:
Kill any app at a time you choose with optional volume fade out.
Easily view which apps are active.

Can go into expert mode with Gemini app manager, kill it, refresh the list, and it will be running again.
I haven't used maps in two days
EDIT: I want maps to run only when I tell it to. So no freezing or disabling.
This is why I want it to stop:

or turn off gps... thats the only times maps tries anything, otherwise it just wakes up the phone to check for gps which ends up being only like 0.3% battery eating
Ttt
My maps is usually always running, but never uses any battery. Like others said make sure you have GPS off, and if you keep trying to kill it, it will only automatically relaunch which will consume battery. If you don't like it, freeze the app, thats about the only this.

This app is started by a number of intents and receivers. Disabling them will stop it from starting but may also disable features.
You can turn off gps use for location. It will be less accurate but still work using other things like wifi.
Use something like ROM Toolbox, go to app manager and long press maps. Select advanced freeze. Among the many choices look for those containing the word "latitude" or "friends". Uncheck them. Maps should continue to work if you did it right BUT the Latitude & Friends services will probably not work.

Remove Google Maps from any app killer you are using and restart your device. Is it still consuming that much battery power?
Other than freezing it, apps are free to open as they please on Android, something I've never been a fan of.
A simple "kill" will not work...you need to "force stop" it. Settings...Apps...Maps...Force Stop. If you have all autostarts disabled, it won't come back until you open it.
