The apps should present the battery consumption of each application particularly those connected to the internet. After I kill apps which I choose from the list ( like skype, viber, fring, whether , mail and else , it's could not wake up anymore . Until I run it manually .

I believe having a task killer on the device is a Bad Thing™ since memory management is conducted very efficiently by the Android OS itself. However, if you feel you absolutely MUST have a task killer, there are a lot of them in the market. Don't take my word on it though. Here's some reading material for you to peruse.
Android Forums - What Is The Best Task Manager?
Why You Shouldn't Be Using A Task Killer With Android
Back when I use to use them the best apps for what you ate looking for ate two that can work with each othet made by the same developer.... autorun manager and autokiller memory optimizer... and they have the setting you want, to not allow the app to restart... but be warned... you can terribly frag your system if you don't know what you're doing or if you get trigger happy with the settings
What about apps that present the memory usage of each running apps or process

Hi there
sorry for asking I am somewhat new to Android.
I read very often that Google Maps should be froozen because it is a battery sucker. Now I am wondering how an application could drain the battery when I actually do not run the application.
How does Android itself deal with applications and quitting them?
I read conflicting recommendations about task managers stating that Android itself deals with this better.
So what is this freezing of apps? Does it prevent Android from starting it automatically?
Thanks for any education
Claas
Android is based on multi tasking ..ie many apps can run in the background even though you are not using it at the moment..say if you are using maps and once you're done you just exit it. However maps app will be running in background if not exited in proper manner( either using the app or by going to running services in settings and force closing).
Also certain apps are configured to autorun under certain circumstances ..say for maps or Facebook app! -try keeping your wifi /data off! Go to settings/apps/running services/menu-cached process and force close Facebook,maps however once you turn on data /wifi they will run automatically! Just check it out yourself ..
Solutions for such problems could be either to use autorun managers or to freeze the app -freezing makes the app unavailable for use until you de-freeze!ie it blocks the app from running ..
Above said statements /examples are from my experiences!correct me if I'm wrong!

Yes but be careful, if you use task killers to kill them, they may start again and this will consume more battery than the program running.
Imho the best way to go about this is the following:
- go get Quick System Info PRO from Market (it's free)
- set it up so that it places a CPU usage icon on your status bar (the notification for that icon is also animated)
- when you find the device is sluggish and CPU usage is high, tap the notification and go to the Processes tab
- sort by CPU usage
- kill whatever it is that is using the CPU
And you may also kill all tasks just once before going to bed or something, just in case.
To stop maps, use autostarts disable all maps have in there, then you can be cool

Guys kindly share ur experience here.what is the best task manager fir better RAM optimization in your view?
I do not recommend using any task killer for any android phone. Here *read and learn*, but if you really want to use one then just monitor the app that is unnecessarily eating your cpu using watchdog and manually kill it otherwise 'task killers' will take up your phone's resources.
Android is totally different compared to windows... Android don't ever need task killer! Just leave it to be, it'll auto optimize...

task killers like people said are not recommended.
but that doesnt mean that you cant use it, you still can use it daily actually.
my favorite and the best task killers out there in the market are Advanced Task Killers
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5yZWNoaWxkLmFkdmFuY2VkdGFza2tpbGxlciJd
+1 to what above users said.Killing an app will only make it load again which consumes battery.
Killing tasks in Android is generally not recommended but if you really want a task killer, Advanced Task Killer does the job well.
Thanx alot all u bro.i m using memory booster.i works like a charm for me...
I use Quick System Info and Advanced Task Manager but the apps will automatically restart after being killed and this procedure even cost more CPU usage. I also use the built-in "Running services" setting but it's not so effective either, sometimes forcing an app to stop won't free more memory.
Apps in android work like this. Say you are running Google Maps.
-Android: Ok he's using maps, lets use some of the ram.
-Android: Oh he stopped using maps, ill just empty the app from the RAM but ill keep some information here in case he wants to run it again, plus maps still needs to do something so ill keep some info for it.
Now if you put a task manager to kill the remaining information (which is close to 0 in size) you add this.
-Android: Hey where did the info for google maps go? Oh darn i guess ill have to load the app again from scratch and use additional ram.
So all in all it ends up being counterproductive. Task killers worked on 2.2 and earlier versions. On 2.3 its almost automatic.
If you're looking for better ram managment, i suggest you try the V6 Supercharger Scripts.
I agree with the post above.
Using task manager actual result is slower and higher battery usage.
I use V6 Supercharger also, it changes the minfree amount, that is how much RAM has to be available minimal always.

Yeah... I totaly agree with dumraden... Android is very good at managing RAM on ots own...
If u kill an app, it will only cause unnecesary load on the CPU...
Btw very good explaination man...

Hy, I have an xperia s 0.73 firmware.
I dont know why, i have everytime opened new aplications in the task killer, and in settings (runing services), i close them, but in a few seconds ar opened again! Like musik player, email, office suite, liveware manager, etc .....
What can i do?
I use advanced task killer, but i think thats not ok to open aplications itselfs.
(Sorry for my english)
Theres a lot of programs built into the Sony that you cannot remove without gaining root access.
You can go to settings/applications/manage applications and the you can remove some of the programs but not all.
yes i know there are o lot of aplications, i dont want to remowe them, just to to someting, to the phone, to not open the aplications itself!!
Liveware will always work cuz its required for hadsets, speakers etc

Are you new to Android? I had this same confusion when I first moved to Android.. Because it runs on a Linux basis it works differently..
2 things to consider.
1, Android will hold programmes in memory but in a suspended state, not using any resources until they are called for from the kernel.
2, with Linux based OS empty memory is wasted memory. (refer to point 1 above!)
Don't try to kill things that the phone need to have running in the background it will waste resources and battery!

So i recommand to remove tjhe task killer?
If your device is rooted, you may try install apps like autostarts
Task killers are ok.. But you only need to use it to kill apps which are causing problems (usually just apps which you have installed rather than any preinstalled or system apps)
And generally a bad idea to use any auto kill apps.. Avoid that!

You just have to live with that unless you are willing to root your phone then use titanium backup to freeze the app. My xps is less than a month old so I just let them be for now because I dont want to root it just yet. There is plenty of ram and does not affect the speed of the phone.

+1 to that. I only use a task killer to get problem apps out of memory sometimes. As a rule android is very good at managing memory.
These things will always start and it usually means the apps stay up quicker.

In addition to that, it doesn't take more or less battery power if the memory is full or empty.
Killing apps and starting them however does take battery power.
OK, THANKS!
I understand.
I thinking about, that open apps are influencing the battery life. But now its clear!
So no auto task killer.
Thanks again!
I recently installed a Rom and the ram is consistently at 700mb can anyone advise me on how to lower this say yo 500 - 600mb.
Also is there a app or task manager that will allow me to decide what apps I want to stay open and what ones close after a pre defined time. Dont know if im thinking ahead with this app

Are you managing app auto starts? If not get LBE Security Master and set which apps you want to start up after booting. That will save you some RAM.

actually i have been using LEB for a year or so, and only use it as bandwidth monitor ... that function about disable autostart seems is not very working well because my RAM always got over 700+ MB.
but anyway , consider the Android's RAM management which is quite different to Windows , so i am fine with that ...
just my music player get killed frequently which is very annoying !!!

Freeze some things with titanium backup. Greenify apps you don't need running in the background. I normally always have around 180mb of ram free with widgets on the homescreen, messaging and exdialer in memory, whatsapp, headset manager, google services, quickpic, Facebook notifications etc. Personally not a fan of Swap/ZRam/Supercharger. My best experience has easily been running stock or WanamLite with no tweaks/build.prop edits other than Jkay Deluxe. Also, Perseus kernel has some ram modifications in the kernel so you get an extra 20mb or so of ram
Still do not understand why people want more free RAM; free RAM is doing nothing, while RAM that is being used is caching apps in memory so it can be loaded faster, making a more responsive system. Please research. With that being said, too much RAM usage is not good; about 5% (45mbs on our GS3) should always be left idle.

If you want more ram then you must setup which apps can launch in the background after startup. These are the apps that eat ram because they begin running by themselves and continue running even if you never use them. Of the 80+ plus apps that I have only 4 of them are allowed to startup on boot.
Well as the title says
I first had a stock s2 and the memory usage would always be 700+
In the task manager and it would close 28 apps and go down but always after doing stuff its back to 700+
Now i rooted the phone and deleted all apps i did not use like google+ chaton and all the stock samsung stuff thinking it would improve but it wont
Does anyone have any clue either how to stop these 28 things from running or all the time or see wat they actually are
Any help or tips appreciated

The short version re: Android & memory is - as Android is a Linux 'variant', and Linux variants don't like 'free memory', Android will reserve as much free memory as possible in order to make it immediately available when required (so there's no killing some processes in order to run other processes for example), it will also keep memory in reserve for apps you've recently closed/apps that are used a lot even after you close them in order to start them more quickly/get them up to speed when you do want to use them
Constantly manually 'freeing up' memory will actually make your phone less responsive.
In other words, let Android do its thing. People on here/elsewhere obsess about free memory because they're used to Windoze & even other phones/OS's.
This is the 'plain language' explanation, if you want the technicals, they're easily found online.
Edit - This is also a good explanation of how/why it works.
Thanks wasnt aware of the ram thing like this bit it sounds logic
But why are there 28things running ?
Makes nu sense to me
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Depends what those 28 process are.
With all operating systems, there's a lot of system processes running at any given time, Android is no exception to this.
You should never need to 'free up memory', and the only time you should need to manually close an app (with a task killer or similar) is if it's badly coded & doesn't exit 'gracefully' (99% of apps do these days).
What is a program u can advice me to use to check what is running (free app) preffered

You don't need any app to see what is running; go to Settings / Applications and choose "Running" tab. It will show you the processes and services that are currently in use. Depending on the version of your Android, you will have an additional option already visible at bottom or available via menu: "show cache processes"; these are the processes for which Android reserved some memory in order to quickly re-execute them (like MistahBungle explained above.
