I have few questions that I'm uncertain about,
1. To save battery on the S3, is it best to use SetCPU to underclock the CPU while it's not in use and when the screen is off?
2. Is there a app which I can choose which app will start when the device is powering on?
3. After I finish using apps such as Facebook and hit the middle button, will the app still be running?
4. Which app allows me to block apps from accessing the internet when opened?
Can someone help me please
1. depends
2. no idea
3. yes
4. no idea

So you can't use SetCPU to underclock the CPU when it's not in use?

When does the app closes itself? Also when it's running in the background, it still use internet data?

Hi,
As you all know, some applications have some background services, like Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, etc, even Market..
Would be interesting if someone made an application which close those apps and their respective background services when the wifi, data or auto-sync, is disabled, and reopen those apps and services when the internet is activated..
Would be interesting because the battery would be spared...
Could someone please take a look on this?
it's cool!
i'm waiting to see
Tasker could probably pull this off.
Context: State > Net > WiFi Connected (Invert)
Task: App > Kill App (Use Root)
It could be done with variables as well. But I don't see the difference between doing this and using task killers.

Yep, have a look at Tasker. It can fully automate almost anything.

Turning on the "use root" option seems to allow Tasker to kill apps on my phone. I'm running a rooted 2.3.3 ROM

Here it doenst kill the sevice... im using 2.3.7 cyanogen rooted
Am I being paranoid or is my phone getting slower and slower :S I get tired of closing apps in the 'Running Services' tab. Is there a way to completely close an app? I got in the habit of hitting back until I return back to the homescreen but that doesn't work on all apps such as Facebook.
No thats the propper way..
If an app doesnt stop after hitting the back button it wont do this anyway
you have to kill it on task manager
apps like facebook wont close doen because they own notifications and live messaging

Task Manager? Where is that? I have an Xperia Play
There is a way ... If you use CM go to settings --> applications --> development and stop app via long press

Hi
Android are supposed to keep apps 'cached' in the background - having them ready should you need them once again.
One way to 'kill' apps, to free memory is to install a 'task manager' og 'task killer' (search one of these phrases in play).
They are designed to kill a list of apps with a single touch...however Google doesn't recommend this way, as they claims it might leave the system in an unstable state.
As i can't post links, you can 'google' this: 'task-killers-answer-google-developers'
You might have a rogue app or memory leaks, or your VM values are bad for your device. Are you running out of RAM? Is your CPU usage maxing out? Are you using swap or compcache? What are your VM/sysctrl values? All these things and much more can destroy a ROM.
I find that many custom ROM's have a habit of using stupid VM values. Try getting RAM Manager from Play Store and using the "Balance" preset, it works great. I also highly suggest "SystemPanel App" from Play Store (costs $3), it has an awesome Monitoring function to record a history of how all your apps, services and processes are using the CPU. That is, if the CPU is maxing out... get a CPU Usage Monitor to find that out.
EDIT: If you are using an sd-ext partition, it can also kill performance. Especially if you move dalvik-cache to sd.

ehm i got a samsung so if i long press the home button it appears if u dont have a taskmanager built in ur rom hjust download task killer from the playstore
Disclaimer: I'm a total smart phone noob who recently went from a cheapo tracfone to a Samsung Galaxy S3.
I seem to be getting really bad battery life and I just went into my app manager and clicked on the "running" and there's a big list of apps in there...all with timers running..including a couple games I dloaded. Why are they "running" and are they draining my battery? How do I shut them down? NOTE: When I play a game or use an app, to get out of it, I just hit the Home button. Is there a way I should exit from each app?
After hitting the home button, hold it down then a list of your recent apps will show up as thumbnails, slide them off the screen to close them.
And if you are finished with an app exit it with the back button, exiting it with the home button just keeps it in ram (multitasking)

Great! thanks didn't even know I could do that. Ok so I did that and swiped them all off the screen...then did it again and went into task manager and it said "Active Applications: 0"...ok awesome. However, then I went back intoSsettings ->Application Manager and "runnning" tab and there's still a big list in there:
Settings
Factory Mode
Software update
T-Mobile My Account
AllShare Play
MAPServiceSamsung
Bonus Apps
Google Services
Dropbox
Maps
Task Manager
Media Hub
MobileLife Contacts
Email
SecPhone
GBA service
S voice
Samsung Keyboard
Deep Sea (live Wallpaper)
now I obviously understand Settings, task manager and wall paper, but why are the rest "running"??

You are always going to have running apps and services, that's unavoidable.
Just clear the recent apps menu by swiping them away and forget about the rest.
If you are rooted you can use a root explorer to go to system/app directory and delete bloatware.

This is a computer, pal. And all of them run dozens of processes. Leave Android kill by itself those that are not needed anymore...

On your Windows PC (if you have Windows), press CTRL+Shift+ESC, then click on the processes tab of the window that shows up. For extra excitement, click on "show processes from all users". See all those apps running? You don't need to care about 98% of those. That's Windows doing its thing.
Loading up a task manager on Android results in a similar list. Most of that list is just Android doing its thing, including keeping apps cached in case you need to go back to them. In almost all cases, you don't need to do anything. Even if you exit an app by pressing the Home key, Android will just page it out of memory pretty quickly unless it's specifically designed to run in the background (or just poorly programmed).
Your best bet is just to ignore task management software as they tend to do more bad than good.
visit the thread "apps safe to remove" and delete or freeze all unwanted apps forever
sent from: designed for humans
Also remember to go into S Voice settings and turn off the wake ups etc
Then go follow the tread posted above and have Titanium backup or System Tuner Pro etc ready, to Freeze bloatware.
Also you use Kies? Can also remove or rename 'kiesexe' from system/bin.
Then enjoy! Went from 90-110M free ram to 220-320M now after loading all my widgets etc

Swiping them away in that menu clears them from memory.
All running apps/services are not shown in that menu.

Grab it from the Samsung app Store.
Search for S 3 task manager it will work fine on the Note 2.
Or just don't use one at all

So how you exit applications like the Stock Music for example without using the hardware button? .

Why do you need to? Android will automatically terminate idle apps when it needs the memory. Task managers generally only achieve one thing, shortened battery life.

Most of the apps will get (force) closed when cleared from recents. Only those with background services need actual "force close" button press. As advised, Greenify might accomplish what you're looking for.

Greenify is completely automated and done in the background. You can set whatever apps you want to close whenever you want.
I don't know of anything else that is as effective as it.
Also I wouldn't really be using these anymore as Android is more than capable of ram management.
Spare ram is wasted ram

Well, that's the risk you take. Most of the killed apps will re-launch themselves automatically, either right away or after a while, when they receive corresponding event/broadcast message. You did not specify why do you want to kill apps in the first place, but generic approach:
1. Greenify (link) - it will kill an app AND prevents automatic restart of an app (doesn't work at 100% though)
2. Disable specific service of an app, so it won't keep restarting (app might be unstable - crash)
3. Uninstall the app and find a better alternative which isn't always running
