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?

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.
In the dell streak - when i use the back button does it close the application or keep it running in the background?
Is there anything similar to HTC Task manager we used in WM which would close the apps after using? Is this possible at all?
I also heard that using task managers generally cause issues with battery, speed etc?
Carify anyone?

As far as my limtied knowledge goes.
Using the back button does close the apps, unlike hitting the 'home' button which leaves them open in the background.
I don't use a task manager myself and have never had any issues, but I have read (numerous times) that task managers are not required due to the unique way that android controls it's resources.
Thereforeyou can't compare it to other operating systems.
HTH.
Don't worry about task manangers, when I first got my streak I used one until I stopped recieving texts and calls and deleted it. I see absolutely no difference between when I used it and now that I don't, the phone is very smooth either way!

The Back button will exit the app (unless the app is coded so it does something different) but the app's process will remain running.
The home button will usually suspend the app as it is so you'll be at the same point when you re-open it (again, unless the app has the home button coded to do something different).
The only way to fully close an app is with a task manager but it's completely pointless having one.
Android works by keeping everything running in the background and when it needs memory it will close the ones it thinks are least important.
It does this because it makes things a hell of a lot faster. A good example, is that when you first load the Gallery app, it has to load all your pictures and videos. Once it's done that, it will then be able to open it again very quickly with everything loaded, unless you kill it with a task manager, then it will have to load everything again. Task managers also have a habit of closing necessary things, resulting in a loss of signal, connectivity, etc.
So, in short, don't bother with a task manager. Android has one built in, which is much more effective.
For starters I am running MIUI rom. After downloading a few apps and such I now notice that in my task killer OfficeSuite Pro continues to pop up as a running application after i kill it even though i never open it. Also, oddly enough, Market is now showing as a running application in my task killer and it will not allow me to kill it. Can anyone explain this phenomenon? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi all, Ive noticed my facebook always gets an ANR in the background when I leave the app and I always have to quit it from the task manager. No doubt this contributes towards the ICS battery drain for some. Has anyone else noticed this? (This app is on a UK Galaxy S2 with a fresh install of stock ICS unrooted).
Any reccomendations for an autokill app where I can just select facebook to be killed when not viewed and it will ignore all other apps by default?
TIA

Is there a task manager that'll kill apps and permanently kill tasks processes? I've noticed that some will kill the task then the task will automatically start back up again...
Looking for the best that'll actually purge the memory and all that.
You should never use a task killer. Android manages memory on its own. Killing tasks will only lead to instability.

They say that but I've yet to ever see it happen! LMAO
I've seen "so called" task managers handle memory better than that this nonexistent invisible task manager android speaks of.
What are ya supposed to do when ya have 20 something app's running in the background, just leave them running and let this unknown task manager "supposedly" handle them...
How bout managing startup app's and what not? Furthermore if android has a built in task manager where is it and why isn't it working or why not make it better?

I'd suggest a little more reading on the subject.
If there's something you really don't want running then freezing or removing it is a more efficient alternative than repeatedly killing it only for it to restart over and over.

I use All-In-One Toolbox. Yes, I use a task manager, I have been using it since I got my LG Optimus One. I have been a developer for 9 years on both windows and linux platforms. It is true that linux manages memory better than windows, therefor Android benefits from this being build on the linux kernel. The fact remains, an app that doesn't run, doesn't use memory. Applications on android behave much like applications do on Windows Mobile, the don't exit but remain in memory in order to have quicker start up times. Unfortunately, killing an up does cause to restart, but I have noticed from personal experience that in that case, since the UI haven't shown yet, it uses less memory. I have no problem waiting for an app to start up, as long as while it runs, it runs smoothly. For that reason I disable many apps from start up that I don't need to run on a day to day basis but only when I need the app. AIO Toolbox handles all of that, task killer with whitelist, start up management, file manager, apk backup and restore and a slew of features I hardly ever use.

Yea I'm the same way when I used winmo I loved HTC CleanRAM, Pocket Mechanic and SKTools I really wish I could find a tool for android like SKTools, that was one powerful app. LoL
But I'm the same type of user you are it seems, right now it's at a toss up for me between Go Task Manager and ES Task Manager, but if anybody askes me for a good task manager to use I tell them ES Task Manager, cause it's startup list editor is a lot more newby user friendly telling ya whats safe to remove from the list and what isn't.
