Searched the forum and didn't see any info on this..so my question is....
I'm using XDA Premuim app and it just updated. I now see it using CPU cycles long after I have exited the app. Using OS Monitor and System Panel, I came up with these screenshot over a 2 hour period. The phone was just sitting on my desk with the screen off and no app open. I'm on SHOstock2 v2.2.4 and if I uninstall XDA, battery life is noticeably better. Tried Tapatalk app, and the same result.
Anyone else seeing this ?
@Mod..If this should be in Apps & Themes section, feel free to move it

Hi i know this is a foolish question.. but how can i hide adw launcher from task manager active app?. i already move the adw apk to system/app and rebooted but still it is active app. i want it to be hidden from active apps because i use it as my default launcher..
please do not flame me.. i already searched google and this forum but i cant find any related answers..
Moving it around will not make it less an active app as it is. Launchers are your home screen and they do have to be active and not be empty tasks.
So you should save your strength trying to make it become not an active app when it is running.

I love this app it was a must have for me on all of my phones but it seams like this version has a bad battery bug with either this version of gingerbread or just our phones, so downloaded it for later but I wouldn't use it just yet unless you want to be on a charger most of the day

Love the app too.
I've had it on every Android phone I've owned since the Samsung Moment.
However, after installing it on the Photon, I've noticed that it keeps on "de-activating" itself automatically if I don't have the notification icon box checked in the settings (To keep the notification bar clean, I try to keep notification warning settings off on most of my apps).
is there a simple app to keep track of the amount of time its been since you last plugged the phone into an outlet?
just want to know how long my phones been running on battery
i know the phone has a stock battery info on gingerbread but i can have my phone plugged in and it still says running on battery,and you have to pay attention to the lil dots underneath to figure out how long actually its been running on battery
i was using battery snap, which had that option, but according to system panel app, it was drawing way too much CPU/battery
any simple suggestions?

Is there any task killer for ics? That actually works

There's absolutely no reason you need this. In any case you can slide programs off the screen to get them off memory when you are switching programs by holding down your home key. I use power hungry apps on my Android and I never need a task killer. And besides. There is no task killer that actually works. Google around and you'll see that they cause more problems than they solve. They were needed on some older 2nd Gen phones. But not on the evo 3d.

What piggyslasher said is true, as they actually do more harm than good with respect to battery life. They kill processes that come back and get killed again for a battery eating cycle.
Having said that, the only time a task killer can be useful is when a process gets out of control and starts eating CPU cycles and batteries. So, I recommend Watchdog from the Play Store. It monitors for run away apps and kills them. There is a free version and if you like it, a paid version.

Thank you guys... I dint know holding the home button will show the apps that I'm using I feel dumb

Actually, for me, holding home to display the recent and open apps, swiping them off to close them, it doesn't display all of them. If I hold home again after swiping them all away, there will be more. But non will show a 3rd time. Just a heads up if you wanted to take advantage of this.

Task killers haven't been needed since Froyo.
Home replacement Go has a built-in one in the app drawer.

I was using Go task manager for a while, it was good, but then I figured out what these other guys are saying here is true. You dont need a task manager. Android OS is managing the tasks the best way possible.
So I have just installed the stock jelly bean on my phone and decided that the touchwiz crap used too much RAM so I installed nova. What I found was that when swiping accross on the home screen the folders and widgets would light up around the edges then "turn off" about a second after the swipe has finished. Another unusual thing was as I swiped the clock widget and would go back a minute while retaining the same time and showing two times at the same time. It shows the normal time the same time as the others go back to normal. So I thought I would try Apex launcher. I then found out it didn't he same thing with the icons but not the clock. Is this an S3 fault or is there a hidden setting for this?
Thanks,

P.S. not sure how to make a thread a question on the xda app
This is a well-documented issue at this point. The "fix" turns off hardware rendering via GPU and sends it to CPU. No resolution other than 1) using the "fix," or 2) learning to live with it til it can be addressed.
Thanks for the quick reply. I think I will just try and live with it firbthe moment.
