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.

Unfortunatly if your not using a rom that doesn't have all the bloatware, sometimes it opens up things like At&t Ready2Go! Very annoying! Lol

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

I really hate Android Market. It's probably the worse app of all android apps (ironical isn't it?).
But one of the things that really makes me crazy is the "Update All" feature. It just never works! Not only that, it actually makes things worse!
Usually it tries to download all things at once which soon causes a crash of the app or device, after which the progress of all apps just stays stuck, even when they're 100% downloaded!
Then the only solution is to go over all of the apps, one by one, cancelling the download (after which the app is shown as "not installed" in the market!) and installing again.
So this superduper feature costs even more time than updateing one-by-one would!
Am I the only one experiencing this? I really hate it!
Streak with 1.6
No I have the same problem tics me off to
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I could be wrong but I don't think 1.6 supports the update all feature. In any case, I've never had that problem on either my streak or nexus one. Maybe if you cleared the cache in the market app that might help.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
it causes errors when an application that needs update requires permissions. these are not properly handled by 1.6 but should work in 2.2.
I just use AppBrain. Very useful to remember what apps you have installed if you have to do a total reset too.

Because Market gets often automatically updated and I hoped they'd fix such a problem soon (naive, I know).
Hello fellow note 2 owners. I noticed that some non-samsung and non-google apps such as facebook and twitter appear in the multiwindow list. Did anyone find any other third party apps working there as well ?

never mind i accidentally clicked the "menu option" of my galaxy win/quattro and then the setting option popped out.
I know this is an old thread, but I don't think this necessarily works i.e. disabling auto-updates per individual app. I recently rooted an lg g4. As far as i know, I have had auto-update turned off, and as i saw the updates running, I checked the play-store to make sure it was off and even checked a few of the apps to make sure autoupdate was turned off and in every case auto update was turned off. and yet the updates still downloaded and updates ran. I would not even have known if I had not been awake at 3am.
I want to uninstall words with friends from zynga, here what they say to do
How to remove Zynga games on your Android device:
1. Open Google Android Menu.
2. Go to Settings and select Applications.
3. Click Manage.
4. Select the application you want to remove from the list.
5. Click Uninstall.
where is the google android menu. I can not uninstall when I go to my setting on my phone, no option to uninstall:crying: this fricken app.
Just go to the Play Store, then My apps, find that app...there should be a tab there to uninstall it.

To uninstall from settings, go to "Settings" | "Application manager", which is probably what is meant by "google android menu", find the application, and there will be a button to uninstall.
You can also uninstall all apps from the play store, as 4-2ndtwin pointed out.
I tried that but it only uninstalls the updates not the whole game. I guess I need my phone to be rooted to do this.

Did u try to uninstall that app from the Play Store like i suggested ?

Thanks, it worked for me.
Hi everyone..
I'm looking for an app, widget or anything you can think of, style appsi, sidecontrol or any other quick launch app, that can be activated through a shortcut or any other way beside gesture... From my experience both of these apps are the most usefull and efficient apps of there kind. You can add favorite app, contacts, toggels or practikly anything you would like. The thing is that for me personally, being able to activate them only via gesture is quite annoying. I find myself accidently triggering it, or facing bugs. Appsi hasn't released anything for a while, so I guess that the project is over. And sidecontrol has bugs and doesn't work well on my lg g3. Does anybody know something else like theme?
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, and of course for your help....
You can try SwipePad app.

Sounds simplistic, but why not just put your apps, shortcuts, etc in a folder?

Swipe pad is launched by a gesture, and is rather limited than appsi or sidecontrol...

Because that to access everything you need to go the home screen. I'm looking for something you can access these features from anywhere..
The home screen is just one big menu that has hot key access via the center of the navbar.
I can access it from anywhere by hitting the home key. I can return to any app I've started via the recents key.
Your view of how your menu should work is the same as this. In your app you hotkey access from anywhere. So do I. You would have categories to establish multiple menu levels. So do I. You need to return to the app you were in. So do I.
Mine is just reinventing what we already have. Yours requires additional code and system resources. I'm using mine and you're still looking.
Point taken...
