Hi
I'm currently having problem with apps they are auto opening themselves.
Sometimes at startup when I open my open and use Helix/ADW all launcher manu apps are open automatically. It eats like 50MB of memory and battery.
And even while my screen turns off it opens app. I was sleeping and my screen is turn off/sleep and I check task panel it got apps open even the screen is lock.
Got No Idea on this. Why my apps are auto opening.
And do I need to debrand?
I just got a unit Unlocked
X10i
Baseband 1.0.14
Build Number R1FA014
Kernel 2.6.29-rel [email protected]#2
Do I really need to debrand?
Does it reset my phone and my settings/apps will be deleted?
TIA
It's not the X10, it's an Android thing.
Then how to get rid of this auto opening app? I never exp. this on 1.5 and 2.1 on my HTC Hero just on this 1.6
Get Automatic Task Killer or something similar, and set it to kill apps on open...if you find the apps opening affects your performance.
Also, if they're apps that sync with a service, make sure all syncing is off, or they'll keep coming up anyway, to try to sync with the cloud.
as a personal anecdote, once I stopped using task killers, the phone started running more stable and quicker.
So Task killers are not good?
I check my Task Panel once i boot my phone tons of APPS are open
Like Bluetooth file transfer
SMS Backup and Restore
Email
Alarm Clock
Calender
Settings Voice Dialer
It opens on startup.
seriously I just boot up my phone and use ADW Launcher and those open up automatically? what does those do? for startup? there are tons more like 25 apps on startup. This thing is not good since I'll do task killing always even the phone is screen off. My phone is opening Voice Dialer Handsent SMS even though i dont have message or calls received.
It's like every min or hour I'll do task killing it kills battery
Well, Alarm Clock has to be on, so it knows when to go off... If you don't have any alarms set, delete all the alarms that are in it.
Email is on by default, since it's a smart phone. If you don't have an account set up, email won't sync, and thus, isn't really doing anything. Calendar will attempt to sync with google if you set it up, but if not, again, shouldn't be doing anything. SMS will start to monitor for incoming SMSes. A lot of services start so they're there when you try to start them up. Basically, anything that has to sync to the internet to update will start automatically.
If things like Photoshop Mobile or a game or something start up, those should be killed.
Stand alone apps that don't access the internet should have no business starting up on their own.
Some people on here claim task killers are great and help a lot... some claim they do nothing. I'm torn, because the phone feels a bit faster than when I used the task killer everytime I unlocked the phone. If your phone is new, cycle the battery a few times, and let it 'break in' and, eventually, the battery life should improve.
Thanks. I'm just a little bit worried that I'm not aware that there are many task opening with me noticing or knowing it and use much battery as I do.
Some apps open automatically
I know that apps auto close ok , here's its invers..
Any how use some task killers frequently to kill them....
Or just unistall them

Android works by loading EVERYTHING it can into memory, up to a threshold and then removes apps from memory if they're not being used and memory is required for newly initiated applications.
Some apps have a terminate and stay resident approach and are seen as 'services' and they just stay active no matter what. Email, Calendars and status bar and etc never leave memory cause they're all waiting for there big moment, an email, an appointment, a finger touch etc.
Using a task killer doesn't really do anything, cause as soon as you 'kill' the process and the moment there is available memory again the process will just return to active/inactive memory because that's the way Android memory processing works.
If you have root access you can delete/freeze system apps you don't require.
A 'slim' Android v2.3 ROM shouldn't have more than approx 110 system apps. Less that 95 if you're good.

Most of the apps you listed are system apps and will, by their nature find there way into memory all the time. That's just how it is.
After a few hours of use many of the non-used apps will drop out of memory and others will take their place.
Loading applications into memory has a time and processing cost and so if it's already in memory, it's quicker to access.
However the Android system doesn't know your usage traits at start-up and that's why some less used system applications may be seem in memory until they're weeded out by those you do use. Again, nothing to worry about,
Using an XPERIA X10i with ~384MB of memory leaves little room for bloatware and thus a lean running machine is the order of the day for the XPERIA X10i.
Hey guys,
X10 user here. Just updated to 2.1 the other day, and I noticed that after I installed a couple favourite apps (Advanced Task Killer and Memory Trainer) I found that my browser keeps opening up while using them! Extremely annoying since even when I hit the 'back' button, it still keeps opening up the browser. I don't even have 3g.
Anyone know how I could possibly fix this?
Just went back to baseband .55 after noticing the terrible effect .58 had on my battery.
Long story short; I decided to install a fresh copy of FreeX10 beta 4 and after erasing the stock Facebook app w/ Titanium, I wanted to ask around if anyone has the same annoyance I'm facing and how they got around it:
The Facebook app starts on its own ALL THE TIME.
I've tried different Task Killers, Startup Auditor, Autostart and similar programs to prevent Facebook from starting every few minutes.
Anyone have any recommendations? I only check Facebook once or twice on my phone, and I use Tweetdeck for that. I like having contact profiles having their profile pics updated to the latest status changes, but I can live without it.

Hi.
Been on various jelly bean versions but on everyone I am suffering serious battery drain from facebook. I have turned off notifications and sync but it keeps waking up phone according to better battery stats. Anyone else having this problem? I am now running the latest btu UK version and still the same.

Delete the Facebook app
no Problem here,
try reinstalling!
It has nothing to do with JB. It has to do with the latest update of the Facebook app.
Somehow the current FB app keeps a thread running all the time to check for updates and keeping the device in sync, and that not only makes the phone terribly slow and laggy, but it also causes more battery drain (not to mention higher data consumption)
Since I didn't have a backup of the previous FB app, my choice was to uninstall FB and, honestly, I don't regret it.
The thing is, I use facebook frequently so don't want to uninstall it. Since flashing to jb, I have had to disable Google now, location services and various other things which I didn't have to with ics! What's the point of a smart phone if you can't have anything installed/running!

Install Tasker and Secure Settings. Create a Tasker profile to use the SS plugin and freeze Facebook when the screen is turned off. Create a Task to unfreeze FB, wait half a second and the open FB app. On your homescreen create a Tasker widget to run the second task, and make the icon for the task the FB app icon.
I've done the above, and it means I can run FB on my phone but as soon as I turn the screen off the app is frozen and it can't drain my battery. I do the same for Google Maps for similar reasons.
I've noticed that my messaging apps such as Whatsapp and Line take 5 to 8 secs to wakeup. Is anyone else having this problem? I am running stock 4.1.2
I had the same apps installed on a custom rom on my HTC DHD and they opened instantly, but not so with my S3.
I've read task killers could be a factor. I don't use any task killers, although I just discovered ES File explorer has one built in. Could it be this?
Any other advice?
