Hello, I am trying to stop all the running services I do not need but after killing some off them they re-run. Thing is I don't need them and I can't figure out why these are running. Here's the list:
1) DRM content(what is this?)
2) Voice commands
3) Social Hub
4) Google services
5) Maps
6) Email
All these run without me openning any application.
I would like to know which I can get rid off, so please let me know.

well i have gotten rid off most of the samsung apps using titanium backup. i would get rid of google services as that is essential for the for phone as core apps run using google android like the market and contact syns etc u can get rid of 2,3, & 6 on your list for definate without any problems. i im not sur what drm content is but i think it may have somat to do with copyright content management =/
hope that helps =]
I don't mind having them installed. All I want is to stop the services from running, since they are useless.
I can't see why there is a Maps service running although I am not using maps or location settings/gps.
Same for email/social hub etc.

If you think that service/app is not useful but you do not wanna uninstall you can always freeze them using Titanium backup Pro. I do that all the time.
Nice idea, thank you. Freezing them seems to work!

Not without root. You need root access to write or otherwise modify files in the /system folder, which is where apps live.

I have some apps that I don't want to remove from my Streak but I don't want them to start up on their own. Examples are Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail. There are others, too. I keep them on the Streak as backups (since I sometimes have problems connecting via IM+ or the regular e-mail app). Therefore I only want them to start up when I open them and stay closed after I have killed them. Is that possible?
I currently use Droid Wall to deny them data access when I don't want to use them but they still run in the background eating up memory and sucking the life out of my battery.
Dont know of anything other than a task killer. Can set the security to your desired level, and also to kill everything when the screen turns off, and also generate an ignore list which is essential for some apps like alarm clock....if you want to get up for work on time. They're a little controversial but I find a notable difference in battery life without it.

I have a task killer which I use manually. However, when I kill those apps they come right back up only seconds after that. Can't keep those buggers down. And with Auto Kill they are just constantly being killed again and again.
i used to use an app called "autostart(s)" which did the job really well plus it offers loads of options for apps starting at boot and permissions. titanium lets you freeze apps but you need to defrost them before using again.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I am currently trying out Autostart Kill which seems to work reasonably well, except that some apps are not found by the program (an example is Amazon MP3) and Dell Sync comes up after connecting via USB even though I set it to disabled.
By Titanium I suppose you mean Titanium Backup, but I cannot find a "freeze" (or similar) option, at least not in the free version I am using
Click the app in the list - you will have there freeze option.
It is available in the paid version only
Thanks for all the help, guys.
Finally located that Autostarts app in the market --- had to set market enabler to Verizon to find it. Trying it right now, and it seems to work pretty well.
I hope they're working for you?

Yes, but yesterday I had 3 mysterious auto reboots. Since I had just installed several apps I am not sure which one is the culprit. I have removed some of the others. Now I will have to see what happens today.
i tried autostarts but when the streak goes standby (black screen) it wont come alive anymore and i have to pull the battery out to reboot.... uninstalled

Try system tuner
System tuner has free version in market. Will perform many functions including "freeze" and then you can "boil" app when it is needed. Also can set which apps run (or don't) at startup.
hey bro, u can use any autostart killer like autostarts (red car), or u can use autostart disabler inside romtoolbox
it work 100%
After hacking the phone to run webtop without the docks, I was just going about my phone and was curious about the "System updates" button and got this:
Social Networking account required
"com.android.setttings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate" is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button
When I click the setup button, nothing happens. Did I mess up one of the files during the process of hacking my phone, because before attempting the webtop hack, when I still had root and adeo on, I did not get this message.
Account syncing: my facebook account will not sync with the contacts on my phone. The social networking app and widget is not running properly for the same reason as from the message given above ^^.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks
Did you use Titanium Backip to freeze apps. This is a symptom of freezing apps. To get this to work unfreeze all your apps and make sure the MotoBlur account is syncing.
I didn't use titanium backup to freeze any of the apps. I'm still kind of new to android and so I might need some guidance in more simpler terms
Did you create a blur account?
yes and it was already linked when I received my unit on the 21st
would it be reasonable to attempt a factory reset, even though I rooted it and installed ADEO?

What exactly does freezing do? I can't seem to find a answer on the net. Can one manually "defrost" a frozen app?

I think so, I'm pretty sure TiBu just adds a ".bak" to the application because when you freeze something it's still in your app drawer until you restart your phone vs when it's uninstalled its gone instantly. The benifit to freezing vs uninstalling is if you freeze the wrong thing or want it back it's still there, but if you uninstall it it's gone and you'd need to ask someone else for it or something.
anyone solved this error? I also got the error today
Is your phone deodexed? That could be the problem maybe.

One of the main reasons I was looking forward to ICS on the Prime was the ability to disable apps without having to install TiBa, etc... turns out only some of the ASUS apps you can disable... others like "App Backup", "App Locker", MyLibrary" etc, won't let you.
Anyone else experiencing this as well?
are you rooted?

No, but that's what I was hoping ICS would let me do... not have to root to disable the ASUS apps. Wonder why some you're able to and some you aren't.

Apps like Google Talk are baked into the ROM and that you can disable... also some things you'd consider a system app from ASUS, you can disable... I can't determine the criteria for what makes one be able to be disabled or not.

The asus apps are "baked" in as well. google apps are no more protected than any integrated apps, its standard "you need root to remove me" software
There are many processes running in settings>applications>running services.
Which of the following can be stopped and what are their functions-
Setup Guide> sim service
CrashMonitor
deviceMonitor
usbux
mtp
Call Log Extension
ProtectedMediaScanner
Secureclockservice
Google services>Cloud-to-device messaging service,google messaging service
I am using .62 stock ROM,locked bootloader,unrooted and I don't use data.Only Wi-fi.Background Data turned off( turned on occasionally),Auto-sync off.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
No point of stopping, they will start themselves again. And that, my friend, uses more battery than letting it run.
Better root and remove those apps yourself.
You can remove all of them but not usbux. That is needed for USB connection.

Yeah. when yhu remove it, it will re-open itself again... thats tha only probs Android OS gat.... just Rooted yur mobile den use Terminal Emulator to uninstall unwanted apps but be careful when uninstalling apps.....!

from what i understand
if you stop a service it will not start itself until you reboot your phone.
if you stop a process, thats if you kill an app, it's service will restart the process in some time.(this will take up battery, cpu usage)

you can also stop the "devicemonitor" but the "battery use" app will also be stopped
Thanks guys, after a day of testing, they don't start at all. I have go more free ram and my phone got faster.
What I do is to freeze those running services using TB when I dont use them, for example Google Maps. It runs even if you do not use it but it's handy to freeze them then unfreeze them whenever you use it again.

1st of all, did you backup those application before deleting it? if yes then good,
go back to the TB and restore back the apps which may be the cause of it.
Hi everyone, like the title says, I want to know how you can stop FB from being active all the time. There are allways 2 processes running and if you stop them, after a while they come back.
What is the best thing you can do? I don't want to delete it, I just want it to be active when I use it and deactivate it afterwards.
Grtz
Why does it matter that its running?

Isn't there an option under development in settings where you can set it to kill every app when you exit it? I've never tried it so I don't know how it works.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I've used that option a few times when background applications are slowing down my games. I usually get a lot of messages following up after saying "Unfortunately, X has stopped." over and over until I turn it back off.
Do you want it to stop to save ram or to save data?

To save RAM and to save battery life off course!
Also Maps, Update Center And Office Suite are allways running. I want them to be inactive unless I need them.
Just remove it and use Friendcaster, WAY better.

Go to settings - apps - all and click on maps - disable, office suite - uninstall, facebook - disable, update center - force stop, and after you do this, go to running apps, kill them and then go to cache and clear this apps from there.. They won't start again.. Remove all the bloatware like foursquare, wisepilot etc which you dont need.. You can also disable timescape feeds, picasa and twitter.
And an advice.. Download ex-dialer and then disable contacts and phone.. You would love it
