Hi All
so I updated over the air - and im extremely unhappy! is there a way to close apps on this OS? I know on gingerbread closing apps was easy, but on this update nothing works! tried downloading apps that says they kill apps and tasks, but NADA! I can click on the window button and all my open apps are there, even web pages!
am I not doing something maybe? its annoying
some help would be appreciated
thank you team

@rbebber - I do use task manager, but unlike before, we could SWIPE and the app disappears.....I understand task manager kills the PROCESS, but the app still sits there, and anyone can just click on the window icon and see what I was getting up to? security risk! lol, is there an alternate app? I tried advanced task killer and a bunch of apps but nothing works, all just kills the process.....I want those apps to DISAPPEAR....
youre help would be greatly appreciated
cheers

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this. I am trying to find a way to actually close apps. I have used several apps such as advanced taskkiller and android booster but no app I can find really closes the app. I'll use pandora for example. Since I've loaded it on my phone I have not opened it once but whenever I look in my running apps its running. I will close/force close the app and within 10sec its back open. There are several third apps like this. I understand that some apps need to run but there are some that don't. I need an app that will close these apps and keep them closed. This ends up really bogging down my phone after a day or two of keeping it on. FYI I am using a HTC thunderbolt unrooted

Do you have any idea on how android works? Read the permissions of the app to understand more.
You cannot close apps on Android.

That's a lie.
if you use the pandora app rarely then you should download titanium backup and freeze the app.When you need to use it again simply defrost it.Simple as hell
Hi guys,
Just wanted a general opinion. What apps have you got on your auto kill list in the included task manager?
I've put all my games on the kill list!

I put all of the Verizon crapware apps, Facebook, and a game or two. After that, I just stopped caring about what was running. I haven't had a single problem or reason to give it any mind, so I just let the OS do its thing.
Hello peeps just wanted to know disable the V Cast Media Manager from syncying, I tried unchecking everything the list, but the next day it magically checks everything on the list again.....
I know its part of the bloat ware package and can't be unistalled, just wanted an alternate option.
(Sorry for my grammer)

Just use one of the approved temp root methods and freeze the App with Titanium Backup.

Go over to the dev section, grab scrosler's CleanTool and it becomes pretty elementary from there. Oh and Media Manager's package name is com.htc.vmm.
Merry Christmas
will this disable the nfl app?

I meant will disabling verzion media manager disable the nfl app as well? It requires several other apps to work properly and don't want it disabled.
If you just disable the vcast apps, NFL Mobile will work fine

I know this isnt helpful but........ VERIZON BLOATWARE FTMFL! I sooo cant wait to permanently get RID of that trash. I never seen so much shi** stuffed onto a phone from the factory.
I keep getting this app installing on the last screen Page of my screen and there is no icon for it in the application menu. And every now and then it changes my browser homepage and sends me advertisement notifications. Would like to know if anyone has an ideal what this is. I'll click it and it will go to browser.
What do you mean by "the last screen Page of my screen"?
Do you know the name of the app?
Can you find the app if you go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications?
When you press home and scroll all the way to the left it will be in the left corner of that Page.
It's like some searching application and it is now where to be found in in management application section.
Odd. Have you tried anything like lookout to scan?

Have u downloaded any live wallpapers recently that's their Ads
Sent from my M865 using XDA
So would the app backgrounds do that?
I personally only seen it with Live Wallpapers not all of them but most that contain Ads usually when you restart your phone they pop up and then they are gone

Hi,
I am facing the same problem here with my XOLO Q2000 (rooted).
Whenever I switch on data connection, following apps keep installing itself.
1> Boyaa Texas Poker
2> Baidu Browser
3> Flappy Bird
4> playApp
Please help me uninstalling them.:crying:
You downloaded those stuff from playapp.
Just uninstall play app and those will be gone
Sent from my Q2000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I tried to uninstall playApp more than once. But it install itself silently without any notification or permission. Similarly other three apps did download and install just after playApp. And now ucbrowser just landed with other three.
Until I mess with playApp everything was cool.
Please help me remove this junk(playApp) and its residue. Otherwise I have to format my device.
Thanx for your support.

Thanx zyferx and santod040 for your valuable suggestions.
I think I solved the mystery. I just found an application (named as 'android system' from same me.com.basiapk source) running in background during this drama. With the help of 'system cleanup' app I froze that one and now no ghost appearance anymore. I uninstalled those craps safely as well.
I learned a lot from you guys. Thanks a ton once again.

I hope somebody can give me some advice on this cos it's driving me potty, I keep getting notifications on my phone and they are in chinese (see screenshots), clearing them is no problem but I'd like to know if there's any way of blocking them, it's not a text or email, just a notification and a little picture of a star at the top of my screen, any suggestions welcomed thanks

Try downloading some antivirus app from Market. Maybe it finds something.
And where can I get that wallpaper?

Its some sort of adware.Get that Dr web lite and it'll soon find the app that contains the adware.

The notification appears because you have installed an app with airpush advertisements in your phone.
Install this and do a scan on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5icm9zbWlrZS5haXJwdXNoZGV0ZWN0b3IiXQ..
Then uninstall the aplication that came out with the result and rate developer with 1 star on google play. (this usually gets the developer to react, if alot of 1 star ratings are received)

Try "addons detector". However that's not a generic ad so it may not detect anything. You just have to go through your recent installed apps and running processes to figure out which app is the culprit.

Have you installed any apps recently right before you started getting the chinese notifications? That would probably be the culprit. I would start uninstalling recent apps and that might solve your issue

I flash different roms all the time and use titanium to restore my apps, come to think of it I only have this issue with the rom I'm using for my daily (perfect galaxy), can't imagine it's a problem with the rom but I think I'll dual boot it and monitor it for a couple of days, I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for everybody's comments

when you get the notification Spam don't remove it yet:
Settings > under system tap on {} Developer options > check USB Debugging
connect the phone using a usb to your computer
open adb shell
Code:
adb shell dumpsys notification
copy the output and save it to a text file, post it here
i'll tell you which app is spaming.
I FIXED MINE!!
the KEY: notification monitor function in addons detector
leave it on and wait a day or so till you get the notification
I used to get bunch of Chinese ads
addon detector showed me exactly which program caused it
it was a hacked version of game I have downloaded... got rid of it and the ad was gone...
thanks guys
