Has anybody tried to set up Google Play Music in Greenify? I find it annoying that every time I go into Task Manager it's running. I've never used it. It shows 0% cpu usage but I just don't want it on.
Greenify doesn't want to shut off a system app though. I was wondering if it will really hurt anything.

Convert it to a user app instead of system and or turn off sync in settings.

Use the paid version and you can greenify system apps.

^^^ This! If you try out an app, like it, and continue to use it, support developers by getting the paid/donate version of their app.

I get pretty bad battery life. I wiped everything and reflashed the ROM and only installed about 10 apps instead of my usual 150 or so. Total difference in battery life! Except I want want my apps back, at least most of them.
I'm wondering if there's a way of finding out which ones take the most juice or are always running when I don't want them to do I can get rid of those few.

Try "Wheres My Droid Power"
Could also try "Watchdog", I have used it a few times, good app. It also lets you know if one app is misbehaving and using too many resources.
Or system panel. I use its monitor and it will tell you how much power each app is using. You have to get the paid version to get that feature but its a good app. I'm sure there are other free apps that do the same like the ones mentioned above.
BetterBatteryStats, best there is

+1 for watchdog
Android's built in battery use monitor will tell you what's using battery. I guess it varies based on which ROM you use.
+2 for watchdog

App watchdog by proid mobile?

+3 for Watchdog!
I use the paid version to help support the developer, but there is a lite verson though.

What is the best auto app killer Facebook always continues to run in the background using 10 to 40% CPU I need an application that will kill it as soon as my screen goes off
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I actually stopped using auto app killers about 5 months ago after reading several articles on how the android operating system works. I would suggest maybe just using task manager to kill it when yer done with it?

That's a pain Especially since I'm not supposed to be on my phone at work and that's just one more thing I would have to do an more chance of getting caught

Advanced Task Killer seem to work well for me.
My wife and I both have Rezounds. I went to show her the Usage Monitor so she could track her minutes, and its not in her App Drawer. Titanium Backup shows it as installed though. I've tried to freeze and defrost it in an effort to make it come back, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
Look at settings - power - battery usage.

Appreciate the reply, but I think you misunderstood. The Rezound comes with an app that lets you track your minutes/text/data usage so you don't go over your monthly allowance. I'm not looking to track battery usage.
Go to your widgets its not an app.

No, what the op is referring to is an app, not a widget.
Op try clearing cache and restarting. If that doesn't work...try a different launcher and see if that gets the app to show up in the app drawer. If that doesn't work, I'd look at getting adb running and shell in to the system to see if u can see the app listed in /system/app, if so copy it to the sdcard and try installing it on the phone from there.
Otherwise, worst case scenario, a restore.

I had this issue on my incredible 2 running sense 3.5 roms. If you have Verizon my mobile app installed it overwrites or hides the usage monitor app.
If you uninstall Verizon my mobile and restart the rezound usage monitor will show up.
I just tried it and it worked. The one Dev I mentioned it to back on the inc2 hypothesized that the apks are similar and thus causes the stock usage app to disappear.

Hi, I am bit confuse. Do you install Verizon my mobile app youself? I think it do come with the Rezound by default. Do you root the device or all stock?
hello xda,
Is it normal that I have less then 100mb ram available when I closed all app with the task killer ? My launcher is often killed (icons are gone, they appear 5 seconds later) when pressing the home button and coming from an other app.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue ? how can I (if possible) fix it ?
thank you,
inse
EDIT: my s4 is not rooted
This phone comes loaded with bloatware enabled. There is a thread on this and what apps are safe to disable in this forum. Search for it. I've gone over it and at boot I'll start with around 700mb used......

Agreed. You should definitely look into disabling most of the junk that came pre installed. You'll definitely enjoy your device more.

I am wondering if a task killer is needed for my s4. Current try I only use greenify but u feel like with myself ope I got so many different apps it would be beneficial to.kill the ones I'm not currently try using to give more battery and speed. Does android do this by itself and therefore I do not need one or? I did try advanced task killer but when I kill the apps the come right back. Since then I have restored and did not install ATK.
Let me know your opinions
Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
That's up to you. Android is pretty good at dumping old apps to free up ram. What a lot of people over look is that the android system keeps apps in memory to make them load quicker when you open them again. The only thing I really do is just clear my apps from the recent screen every once in a while.

Let Android manage things, it's a lot smarter about it than we are.
The only caveat I have in this area is an app called Greenify. I'm using it to make it easier to stop a few apps from running in the background when I'm not using them - in particular an app called "Viki" (provides access to TV/movies from Asia) that is endlessly active in the background for no good reason and keeps my phone from getting into deep sleep. So I tell the Greenify app to hibernate it when I'm not using it, and deep sleep is back and battery life is good again.
But I agree strongly that using "active" task managers that try to manage your apps for you are not necessary, and can be detrimental on Android.

As he stated in the OP, he already users greenify.
I agree, task killers are stupid. The only other thing I would recommend besides that is android firewall and an automation app like tasker
