[Q] an inquiry about apps - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sorry for inconvenience ... i'm a noob ..
1st of all i have a Galaxy S II
Android version 4.0.3
Baseband version I9100XXLPX
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100JPLPF-CL644992
[email protected] 178#3
i was using a Nokia C7 .. on symbian system of course , i noticed when i used the android .. that there's no exit button in most of the apps ,alot of apps remain running on the background and literally eat the battery,
yet there are app which i usually need them to be still running like the internet browsers (opera,chrome)&the facebook agent for android : in other words when i browse a site then by long press the main button to enter the task manger to switch to another app (whatsapp for example) when i return back to the net browser i find it restarting as if i run it for the 1st time & reload the page from the beaning as i just opened it .. it happens with all net browsers event the integrated android browser as well as the android facebook agent, this issue is very annoying to me & consumes alot of time.
is there an option to control the apps i want to terminate & the apps i want to remain running in the background to switch in between by long press on the main button (as it was in Nokia).
i heard about rooting .. Does rooting allow me to control these issues??
Do i have to use the exact baseband version of my phone for rooting as i didn't find XXLPX but i found GDXLP6 or DXLP9 , XXLQ5 ... etc
what this code signify for ??
i know i talked alot & i took a time in describing a usually trivial problem, but for me it's very important.
thanks for patience.

Wow,nice long,well presented post,really struggled to get to the end there.
If you want to have more control over your phone then ROOT it.
Then you can use apps to remove unnecessary system things that are running etc.
Oh,and when posting,include vital info like exact model/pda.............not crap like baseband(unless its a baseband problem).

Looking for a way to check RAM memory defects

Hello everybody,
I need your knowledge, my question is in the title : I'm looking for a way to check possible RAM memory defect on my Xperia X10.
I sometimes (or often) get errors (application closed unexpectedly with error message) on all my applications (messaging, youtube, update check, alarm, games...), still with an entirely reinstalled software. Sometimes, the phone freezes and restarts.
Sometimes, applications don't start (error), and I need to open something else before retry, and it works (like if I need to use another part of the RAM if i want to launch my application)
It very looks like random errors that we have on a computer with a defective RAM, and maybe the mainboard of my X10 is defective (my X10 is still under warranty) but I would like to be sure.
On computers, it's very simple, you can boot with a "memtest x86" CD and you see if everything is working. On my X10, I'm not sure it is possible !
Can you help me ?
Thanks a lot !

ru using any customised ROMs and Kernels ??
and which ROM ru using??
I'm using the Original and last updated ROM of Sony Ericsson (with no operator customisation and no simlock)
Android 2.3.3
baseband version 2.1.71
Kernel 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Buid number 3.0.1.G.0.75
I think there is no software like "memtest86+" for this phone ?
Am I the only one having these errors on my X10 ?

[Q] Samsung Dive & XXKI3

Having upgraded to XXKI3, I noticed samsungdive (tracking / Find the phone feature..) is no longer working. I had a closer look seemingly IMEITracker.apk (system app) is not there either - this might be the cause ?
I wonder if this just happened to me or someone else ?
Samsung Dive works with me and I am on KI3 villainrom
Doesn't work for me either.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
@achillies400 : i guessed it could be the feature of VillainRom - have IMEITracker.apk hang over from old rom
@rdbhalla: wonder if you can check via RootExplorer or something similar that you didn't have IMEITracker.apk in "/system/app" either ?
Same problem here on non-wipe (frankenstein), non-rooted stock xxki3 on Bell Canada.

I receive no errors but when I try accessing any of the functions on the Samsung Dive website (ex: "Find my mobile") on both Firefox and Chrome I have no success, it never successfully connects just thinks about it for hours.
I also noticed that imeitracker.apk was not present but mobiletracker.apk was, not sure if that makes a difference.
I re-flashed the release firmware - and apparently imeitracker.apk is no longer there definitely. Re-used the old version made no different as well.
If mobile tracking is important for you, I reckon it's time to move on . The free version of AVG Mobilation is good enough for me. (Sorry as new member I cannot post link) - Google will do
same for me ... dive stop working after flashing leomar revolution 2.7.1 ( ki3 )...
btw imeitracker.apk is present on /sustem/app ( root explorer )
also tried to restore my 2.6 backup ( kh3 ) and still not working ... pretty confused because it was working fine on 2.6 before updating to 2.7.1 ...
Yip. I had flashed back to XXKH3 (which originally worked), it didn't help too. I started wondering if that's a backend problem from Samsung ? Notice the webapp got updated recently .
for myself i think the issue come from ki3 cause on my second galaxy s II ( revolution 2.6 never updated to ki3 ) it's still working fine ...
I have just tried it on my Touch KI3 rom and it is not working as well. Have anyone found a workaround yet?
Looks like there's a number of missing files in KI3 - maybe integrated into something else, maybe removed entirely?

Hi,
I have been using KI3 for past 1-2 weeks and i have no issues with Samsung Dive....i can call my ccell, track my location, get logs, wipe data..everything......not sure why u cant...
i used KI3 uploaded my intratech and samfirmware....
have you used samsung account in ur cell..in accnt and sync section???
may be a complete reset will work.....
just throwing my 2 cents......
@smilingcruel ... m8 you're lucky
here even after full wipe, kh3 restore, etc etc etc nothing to do ... dive won't connect to my phone ...
of course all setting are ok ( samsung account linked, mobile tracking is active )
tried on wifi, 3g ... just nothing
and it was working perfectly before ki3 update ...
btw i noticed something strange on titanium backup ... no I have com.android.imeitracker strikethrough and grayed ( like not installed backup )
but i can't do nothing w/ it ... it's not a backup, i can't uninstall/install it ... nothing to do ...
and of course this is not present on my second SII w/ kh3 ( revolution 2.6 ) that have never been updated to ki3 ...
This purely a piece of guess from. But this XXKI3 release is for Poland which outside the current service zone of SamsungDive (i read somewhere UK/German and some other regions) .. hence the removal of IMEITracker.apk which explained why it's not working.
After all, i just don't bother now ...move on to some other service and freeze the rest apps to save memory
For @OniKim, the titanium have grey, strike-out package because IMEITracker.apk create a data folder and Titanium backup picks it up yet can not find (for some reason) the matched APK.
If you want to remove it, look into "/data/" there is a folder called "com.android.IMEITracker" then removing this will be okay else just leave it there
humm ... ok about the ki3 release issue cause it's for poland ...
but what is making me going crazy it's why after restoring kh3 dive is still not working ... and why dive still working for lots of people w/ ki3
btx thx for the info about imeitraker data folder ...
also can you point me to the alternate solution you're using ???
i really want a remote acces to my phone ...
As I've said earlier... I gave up on this.
I assume you mean remote tracking / lock instead of access.
But anyway here is the one that I used AVG Mobilation from AVG http://www.avgmobilation.com/
It's free for tracking, remote lock, shout ... all just work - I haven't tried the remote wipe for an obvious reason . Btw, it comes free with antivirus
oups sorry i missed your first post about avg
and yes by remote access i mean remote tracking etc ...
anyway will give it a try ... thx for the info !!!
I had the same problem (rooted SGS2 with 2.3.5 and KI3) - I have createted a new Samsumg-Account and it works now. The Problem is, it is normaly not possible to delete the Samsung-Account without a hard reset.
I have do this with Titanium Backup:
-> backup your phone with TB
-> deaktivate with TB the Samsung-Account
-> reboot the phone
-> restore the Samsung-Account without data
-> activate the Samsung account again
-> now you can create a new account​
I hope this workaround works on your side too...

Thanks! That totally worked. I've added a couple of notes for those that follow this process to make it clearer for noobs like me.
-> backup your phone with Titanium Backup - the specific file/app you need to backup is called "Samsung Account" (v1.0 in my case)
-> Freeze Samsung Account with TB
-> reboot the phone
-> go back into TB and restore the Samsung-Account *without* data
-> activate the Samsung account again (Settings -> Accounts and sync -> add account)
-> now you can add a samsung account. You can still use the Samsung account you had previously (e.g. use the same email and password) and just recreating it will make samsungdrive start to work again. ​

[Q] Galaxy Ace, cannot download / install Tango, Talkbox

I am new to Android world from BB. Found this is very interesting!
Sorry if this a newbie question, hopefully someone can help because I really noob about Android.
After get my phone, I start installing all "must have" app. Facebook, MSN, whasapp... all no problem. When I come across talkbox & tango, it just pauses there.
For detail, that is what I done:
1. search "talkbox" in "market"
2. click "accept and install"
3. normal app, it will come out a colour bar and show the downloading/installing progress. For "talkbox" or "tango", the colour bar just remains unchanged for hours.
Then I try install another app, say... "angry bird", it will line up after the previous "talkbox" that pause there. After I cancel the download/install of the "talkbox", the next app "angry bird" will continue download/install as usual.
---------------------
The next, I get my friend to send me the "talkbox" via bluetooth, after finish transfer, I can install the "talkbox"!
---------------------
Can any senior please guide me what should I do? I did restart, clear RAM in Task Manager... still cannot
This is very annoying as my wife and friend all using they smart phone happily but mine is just "pause" there...
Thanks in advance!
Nvr came across dis type of question. Bt i would suggest u to u update ur market & try. If ur market is already updated uninstall d updates & c if its wrkin. If dis method doesnt wrk, wipe/factory reset ur fone.

[SOLVED] Application defaults keep resetting.

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the following issue I have recently encountered; Application Defaults keep resetting. When the dialog pops up I select the app to use (for example, if reading an NFC tag I select from NFC ReTag Pro, NFC Task Launcher and NFC Taginfo - though it occurs with more than just this example) and hit the button to remember my choice. However, at the next reboot, all of these settings are gone, and I have to re-choose.
Here are the details.
Phone: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.1.2 Stock build for United Kingdom O2, rooted (Odin + chainfire's excellent CF Auto-root)
Specifics:
Baseband version: I9300BWELK1
Kernel Version 3.0.31-566833
Build Number JZO54K.I9300XXELL4
Applications removed from O2 build(uninstall updates, disable, remove apk, reboot):
Amazon MP3
Top 40 Chart
eBay
Is the problem reproducible? Yes, a reboot resets the defaults
Have you wiped and reflashed? Yes, twice, and the problem still occurs prior to re-root and prior to removing the bloatware.
Anything else we should know about? Yes, I'm running Droidwall, and have disabled (not uninstalled) the following:
Yahoo! News
Yahoo! Finance
Video Hub
Samsung TTS (lightflow issues)
Samsung Push Service
Samsung Backup Provider
S Suggest
Game Hub.
Anything else?
Yeah, I suspect it isn't relevant, but I have a Cryptonite partition on my SD card, mounted on the internal card for things like bank statements.
So ...
Has anyone encountered this problem before (bearing in mind a wipe and reflash didn't help), or - if not - can they point me in the direction of someone who might be able to help?
P.S. I've been going down the route of a SQLite problem, but have hit a knowledge wall (specifically my own lack of it!)
P.P.S Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Though I have no idea of your problem..I like the way you have put your question..I hope someone will be able to answer it..
Most probably the settings are not being written into the data partition properly or the sqlite database gets deleted after every reboot. .

Thanks! I used to help out over on experts-exchange, and one of my pet hates was threads like "Hai, my router duzent work, plz help!", so I tried to avoid doing that to you.
Yeah, the db not being written properly was my first guess, but I lack the in-depth knowledge of Android to debug it further.
Re: [Q] Application defaults keep resetting.
Ok. Here's an update. I started getting more problems, apps would update but after the next reboot would revert back to their older versions.
Suspecting a permissions problem I walked through /. but nothing was amiss so I traced the date the problem started to the same day I installed 'root app delete' by TOPDEV from the market.
I uninstalled that and, voilà, all working again. I'll let the developer know, but otherwise consider this myth busted. Uh... I mean problem solved!

[Q] Plz help , Settings>App Manager crashing repeatedly - SGS3 JB Rooted

Hello XDA Gurus – greetings from a disturbed SGS3 owner !!
My Phone : SGS3 i9300 international JB 4.1.2 unlocked rooted , in use for last 15+ months with no hassles what-so-ever , thanks to all the tweaks & mods I found from here . Its tuned & optimised like a well-oiled machine !!
However, something went wrong last week , probably an interrupted backup , and since then the App Manager ( Settings > Application Manager ) is constantly crashing when I try to change default settings using the ( bottom left ) menu button . All other stuff on the phone is working like a charm , only this glitch & quite an irritating glitch really !!
I think the system file for App Manager got corrupted somehow ( I don’t think its a “heart-bleed” affair , have checked using LOOKOUT extn ) , and all I need is the appropriate file & its location , so that I can over-write the corrupted one using Root Browser .
Could someone be kind enough to pl help me with the proper system file ( as an attachment ) and its correct location ( which folder in System ). I don’t think I need a full OS reinstall for this tiny issue .
Would be grateful for a quick help !!
Many thanks in advance !!
