every 2-3 hours it kills network speed. an app that shows my current bandwidth use in the pull down menu and i then have to restart the app. i always run the app so this means it's wasting battery right? stopping and starting the app all the time.
anyways, is there a way to add this to an exclusion list to stop android killing it?
or maybe a way for tasker to check every 5 minutes and run the app if it's not already running?
This is probably the devs fault. He should set the app priority or something higher so Android doesn't kill it when it thinks the app hasn't been used in awhile.

the app works well but hasn't been updated in ages.

You just said it yourself. It's an old app that hasn't been updated in ages. I don't know if you can "sticky" an app, but I would rather just find a different app that does the same.
Sent from my C6806_GPe using Tapatalk
but surely there must be a way to get android to up the priority.
i tried network speed but that didn't work well for me (showed wrong speed). in the short term i'm using an xposed mod for it and keeping this app open manually.

Just flashed CM7, previously using Alien. Seems like the email.apk in CM7 is the old version or something, not the same released in OTA or Alien, i have downloaded some apks with no luck.
Can someone point me to the apk that was included in the last OTA update? Forced to go back to touchdown... man i hate entering the ping to access my corporate emails.
Thanks,
Use Enhanced Email (in market) much better, no problems for any of my accounts, including exchange.
Second this. Using it now and it works great. Even circumvents exchange security if you want (optional)

Yeah, the only thing that quirks me, and I can't figure out, or understand why, is after you open the app, or receive a message... it cause like 10 -15 of my other apps to open (pre-load) in the background. I know this b/c I will kill everything before hand with a task/app killer, open Enhanced Email, close it, and then hit the killer again, and it says like 15 app were killed... not a big deal, but takes a chuck out of the ram if you don't kill the background apps.
Thanks for the options but it is not free.

Nope it is not... but you get what you pay for most of the time
Dev updates regularly too.
What's the issue with the CM7 email App? It works fine with exchange. Push is fully supported.
I like that you can have multiple accounts and color code them. I it isn't quite as asthetically pleasing as the blur one where you had a folder with all your accounts but it is just as functional.

Nah serial number should be phone not Rom dependant? It is stored by HTC for each individual phone. Also it is not specified in build. Prop as far as I know.
On topic. I bought mine right after release back in march and I have ht03 so seams consistent

Those apps probally auto restart. This is the reason you should not use a task killer. It actually causes more battery usage if you auto kill since auto kill, auto restart cycle uses battery/CPU time.

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?
So been a time i always woundered why so many apps start without me calling them? Also why do they appear on afvanced task killer app and not the phone one? And still why they open or whatever if i dont call them. It fcks battery life -.-

Background tasks have their life of themselves, use auto memory manager to limit them, or autostarts to block them.
These are freewares and can be found at google play.
Can you name some good ones? They need to be running?
Sent from my SGA using Tapatalk 2
In general, just stop those apps that you dont want running in the background and let the system apps stay as they are.
But can you tell me the name of those programs? The best please.

There is no noticeable battery drain with such apps running because they don't use CPU time. Stopping the processes however forces app or process restart which take up some CPU time, and drain your battery more than if you just left it there.

Just about to say this
The processes can use memory but the android system could stop them if it was running out. Make sure there isn't processes of apps you arnt using, uninstall these.

Google drive never runs for me. Try turning off the sync for it. Then it will just sync manually.

This is true, which is why I recommended autostarts, prevent it instead!
But a reason why background tasks matter is that they tend to hog up ram, which leads to slower performance.
I know there was just a thread about this that went bad pretty quick....
But I've been having the same thing happen with my data (4g) disabling at night and it's starting to bug me...I've tried the advanced settings app (disabling data sleep management) and that didn't work. The free version of the SmartSync disabler app is gone. Does anyone know if any other ways to fix this without using script? Thanks for your time.
I'm running the stock ICS OTA btw

You could try this. The disabler seems to work on Rezound, mostly. Wi-fi didn't automatically switch over for me from one SSID to another when I changed location - but I've only done that once since installing it, so can't blame it yet. You install it, enable it, then reboot to make it effective. I read one report that rebooting again disables it, I haven't tried to see if that's true on the Rezound. I've also heard that if you leave the phone plugged into the charger you won't have the problems "SmartSync" causes, not sure, but makes sense since it's meant to save battery (if I wanted to save battery by having the Rezound not work, I'd just turn the damn thing off!).
Please fill out the web form (why do companies call this email?) at HTC and let them know that their unilateral decision that none of their customers need reliable, timely email and messaging from midnight until 7 AM is unacceptable, and breaks core functionality.
I think that alternate app is just for WiFi...I don't use WiFi often. I did write a little bit of a rant to HTC though, thanks for the link.

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

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
