Hi, I was wondering if there's an app or a setting to avoid some apps as facebook and market to auto-start when data connection or wifi are on.
Anytime I start data, their services are always started by their own.

Droid wall I think, but why would you want htem to not connect...
no, I don't want them not to connect, just want to start them manually when needed, not to start by theirself and drain memory. I want ofcourse grant them the internet acces, just want not to start automatically

android does not work that way, free memory is wasted memory, it is not like windows. If that memory is need linux kills what is not needed. If you are doing to keep free memory then dont bother...I always want all my memory being used...2.3 rom handle the memory very well and there is no need to manually kill apps or use 3rd party apps to do it like task killers...they are redundant on 2.3+ roms
and from the battery draining's point of view?
and if it affects the battery, is there a way to do what I said?

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

Thank you! Autostarts is what I want~
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%
I want to have the control of which apps can access GPRS and which cannot. As soon as I switch on the Mobile data connection I want only certain apps to have access to GPRS. How can I do that?
you can turn off background data but some apps like bollywoodji will still user the data connection whenever it is active.
Try Droidwall from the market.

Sounds perfect!! Any other alternate apps which don't require rooting?
There should be enough firewalls on the market that don't require root. Although root is good .
Just search for Firewall and you shall find. Block the apps you need and you're done!
Cheers.

what you are trying to do is to make android filter some of its outbound communications.
There are two ways:
1. revoking permission
2. change the router settings so that the app can't connect
1. is nearly impossible without errors. too bad.
2. is possible only with root. no root = no goodies. root your phone.
Hello i seem to be having battery life problems because of mobile data, it sis constantly on because of the apps that use the internet while in the background. Therefore my phone is constantly using 3G and wastes heaps of battery.
So I'm asking, does anyone know how to restrict background data so no apps will be using the mobile data?
Ans don't tell me to use task killer because task killers constantly use data as well and if u kill an app, it just comes back.
Thanks.

Go into the market, search for 'onavo' and it should pull up an app that says 'onavo count'. Download it, set it up, and then search for the app that's hogging data within the onavo app. Click on it and tell onavo to restrict it to wifi only. Then, the app you restricted will be killed if it tries to use background data.
Onavo does not require root access
You can also use 'DroidWall' from the market if you're rooted. You can choose what apps have access to the Internet through mobile data aswell as Wifi. I only let apps I actually use have access to the Internet and all others have no connection even if I myself try to use it, unless I add them to the whitelist.
MoPhoACTV Initiative
Here's the market link for ya
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free

Or you can just turn off data when you're not using if.

I wonder if there is a way to prevent some background processes/apps from running instead of constantly killing them? I don't think about using taks killers as they do the same what I can and they also eat memory. I need them apps to run only when I start them. Then I can manually shut them off like I always do, but I don't want them in the backgound processes. For example, even after resetting the phone, I dont use Google Maps at all, but I can see three processes running in background for no reason. And there is more apps behaving in a same way. Of course I don't wanna delete them, because I use them sometimes, some more often, some less.
Any solutions?

Wrong Section btw (This needs to be in Q&A Section)
And freeze them using Titanium Backup or if you don't use them, uninstall it
If I freeze them will I be able to run them intentionally?

No. You have to defreeze them in order to use tgem
If you are talking about system apps, only way to stop their process I know is to uninstall or freeze them
If talking about non-system app, then simply killing them once will stop their process
I'm talking about system apps of course...

Use Disable Service to disable background services and BE CAREFULL not to disable wrong services. Or programs may not respond to your wishes...
v6 supercharge..
u can try v6 supercharge script..........
grap the script here :-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
What's it do?
It makes your phone FAST... super snappy with better multitasking!
It rearranges and fixes the OOM Groupings and Priorites and lowmemorykiller values.
So basically, it's a COMPLETE MEMORY MANAGEMENT FIX!
otherwise freezing apps & uninstalling them is left for u...
download the app 'autorun manager' frome market..
disable the apps that you don't want them to run in background...
it is best tool available for this problem..it is realy a great app..
but use it with care...if u disable wrong system app then u might see some force closes..

As the title suggests, I was hoping someone could tell me an application that controls data connection access of my apps. I currently use Onavo Count but it seems to not monitor Wifi usage which isn't a problem but I can't access the list of applications and set restrictions either. At least not without activating my data connection and waiting for the applications to use data it seems.
In the past, I think last year? I used Onavo, it had the option to observe both wifi and data, thus allowing me to set restrictions on data usage.
Any apps you guys can suggest that has a nice interface as well?
