I have my 1st Android, a sensation XE, I like the way that the pull down menu has recently used apps. I know that you can hold home key down, but that's for active apps.
I haven't used TW before, does it have this?
Nope.

Thanks, pity I like that function. So its just the quick shortcuts for Wifi, BT, GPS etc? No customisation?
I dnot see an option of specifying app shortcuts in the pull down but when I plugin the earphones it shows apps like YouTube, movie player and music player as suggestions.

Hello, i am using Tasker to launch few apps for gps navigation as Maps, Music player and radar detector.
But Tasker is using a lot of battery.
So I'd like to create an apk with buttons as New, go back to Home with or without music.
I ve create the graphical part with eclipse but i don't know how to launch apks when pressing buttons.
Have to define the app as needing root and so how to do that.
Thanks a lot for your answers.

I want to bring to attention 2 Problems that I am facing with my new Galaxy S3:
1. Using the stock music player on the default lock screen (swipe), there is no music control feature to pause and skip tracks when I am listening to music. Now I know that there are 3rd party apps that can do that, but I am pretty sure that the stock music player must be able to do that too, since on my galaxy s it works. Has anyone the same problem and any ideas on how to solve it? I am thinking maybe it's a bug on my phone, and considering to 'manufacture reset' the phone to see if it changes.
2. I cannot find the stock task manager app anywhere. I know how to start the task manager ( hold home button), but the app is not there and neither any widgets. I wish there was a widget, so I can put it on the home screen to save time. Any solutions? ( again, not using 3rd party apps)
Thanks in advance
PS: I am also curious how to get rid of the branding logo (Optus Australia) that shows up on start-up, it really makes it look bad. Any suggestions?
I'm having exactly the same questions.
Has anyone a idea?
You can find the music controls by pulling down the notification bar on lockscreen. Let's hope they fix this in the next update.
Yeah, pulling down the notification bar works, but it's an extra step which is pretty much useless, because you might just as well swipe and unlock the phone. Really hope that Samsung/Google fixes this problem, it's so basic.
Also, the stock internet browser seems to be not perfec either: Flash-related problems can occur, especially when watching youtube using the browser, sometimes it just keeps loading and doesn't play. I got the adobe flash player installed, still no change. Anyone sharing same problems?
same question, is there any way to add a shortcut to task manager other than long press home key ?
If you want task manager you can go Samsung app store you can download it. While you are there download photo editor too.
You get music controls if you use a Pin lock instead of just swipe... Silly, I know, but at least you increase your phones protection too

I have a pinlock and get no music controls at all. Tried all the various settings?
Is there an easy way to quit the stock Music app?
In most other apps, you can quit them from the drop down menu, but it doesn't work with the TW Music app.
Am I missing something? I know you can exit the app from the menu at the bottom, but it's rather cumbersome to fiddle around like that.
if your device is rooted than you can do it 2 ways....
1.- install titanium backup and FREEZE the misuc player app.
2.- install link2sd and FREEZE the music player app.
Done...
Would removing it from the recent-apps list accomplish your goals? (This should make it clean up its resources and the OS will probably kill it really soon if it doesn't.) Long-press the Home key and swipe it out of the app list.

I finally got my HTC One today after calling T-mobile and ordering over the phone, loving this phone and glad I got rid of my iPhone 4. I am currently charging my One, first charge so far and I have a few questions just to make sure everything is good and perhaps making my life easier.
1. Easier way to force quit an app - I was on GSam Bat and had 93.5% apps using battery, I'm figuring that is too high, at least for me.
2. How to enable 4G/3G - Coming from iOS I saw a enable 3G button, making it easy to toggle it, I've only seen 4G on my notification bar too
3. An app that has a bunch of toggles for wifi/gps/data ect - Something as similar as SBSettings, being able to add on for what I prefer.
And if anyone has other tips for a FNG, I'd greatly appreciate it if you posted it.
hey welcome, for the third question I would recommend Power Toggles or Notification Toggles those are my two favorites. try them out on the play store or try searching for a notification widget.

Got myself power toggles, thanks!
There are stock data and power widgets already in your phone Push and hold a blank area on a homescreen, choose widgets, and they're in there.

Yes they are there, but totally impractical...that's the only play I'd say sense is really lacking functionality, I think notification toggle is the best option... For exactly what op is looking for...

Lacking functionality? Lets see...settings, mobile data on/off, wifi on/off, auto sync, roaming on/off, brightness control, GPS on/off, bluetooth on/off...the only thing missing is flashlight. Not what I would call "lacking functionality".
OP: to force close an app, double tap the home button to bring up all your open apps. Simply swipe the app you want to close, and it will.

I'm using power toggles from the Play store, because it allows one to have the toggles on the notification bar. The built in ones have to be on the desktop screen as widgets, which doesn't help when one is inside an app and needs to toggle something.
Yeah, I ended up getting Power Toggles, I like it more and it works great.

Why not take off the widgets if you don't use them?
If not possible, try this:
1) Download Greenify (free).
2) Add the apps (that go crazy) to Greenify.
3) Test.
Greenify puts apps into a "hibernate" mode that disallow it from running in the background. This is meant to help your phone by saving battery that those apps would use, but I could see it being helpful in your situation as well.
