Hi all,
Normally when you are wokring in a program (say messaging) and press thbe red end button you are taken back to the today screen but the program continues to remain open in the background.
Just wondering if any one knew of a software so that I can use the red end key to kill the running program and take me back to the today screen.
Will appreciate your comments and suggestions
Regards
This is intentional (as with all WM devices). Keeping the most often used programs running in memory allows you to switch to messaging / calendar / contacts etc. near instantly. If you had to load them from ROM every time you would soon find the delays very frustrating. Try killing the running programs manually with the Task Manager to see what I mean.
I've never suffered a slow-down from working this way, unless a program goes awry (which I then just kill with Task manager). So I just let WM work the way it was intended. But if you need a more convenient way of managing tasks, have a look at xBar.
Hello,
i have this mobile for about half year, but have there some problems, that i still not able solve.
1) I see problems with lags and unwanted pausing at some games. But still not found why. And how. Because in some games i do not click on pause button, but game when i moving fingers on display randomly go to pause, or go to black screen or stop respond for while. It look as weak procesor, or it is problem of memory? This device have low memory, but i try kill every aplication that i can, but problem still persist. And i have also problem kill some aplications. I kill them and they start again. And not are because because must run.
I also try disable builded antivirus but too without changes.
In some cases mobile start wifi conection or data transfer, that i have set off.
I dont know how i can receive email when i have disabled wifi and data.
And two times mobile send premium sms that i unable control, and not figured in mesages, and not know that i send that kind of sms. I call operator to block all premium numbers to awoid this robbing.
2) android market is extremly chaotic and it look there is security problem - google play. Is posible found most easy way how to block some aplications to accest to sensitive operations? (acces to call, sms, and other services?)
Im thing there is too much many aplications that want baseless access to some services.
3) is possible mount on this phone Windows mobile 6.5? Because that system been most suited for me and in basic have most aplications that i need, and have also a loot prety good games. On android are there minimal.
Or some way to modify rom and kick and kill stupid aplications and system layouts.
Please can somebody good, frienldy help?
thanks.
Still any idea?

Hi folks,
I have a peculiar problem. I'm using Tasker to kill some apps. One of the apps has a persistent notification icon and it refuses to be killed (even with root). The notification icon is gone for a second but will always come right back. Using pstree I tried to find out if there was a watchdog process keeping the app alive, but I found none. Also it is not hooked to any events according to Autorun manager. A force close under "app management" always works.
What is going on?
This seems like an answer that has been asked before. So off course I have searched. I found similar questions (examples: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854858 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040841 ) but no answers.
Who can help me? I'm really at a dead-end.
what app is it? Some apps (especially system apps) can't be closed, and if does gets killed, OS programs it to restart almost immediately after it's been killed.

This is actually Android-by-design. Apps are supposed to be killed from time to time to conserve resources (e.g. memory), and also restarted transparently to the user. This is handled by the ActivityManager. You can view it as Android swappes app's instead of swapping memory. This to improve the real time performance of the device. When someone calls you, you don't want to wait half a minute for the phone to swap out Angry Birds before it can load the Phone app ...
Hence, killing app's will most often only give very short term effect.
Hello everybody,
I wonder if it is possible to keep an app always running in background even if the user tries to close it. In particular, I would want to keep my Firefox app in background, but I always close every app open in background automatically
I hope someone of you could help me,
Thank You in advance
Hey guys,
I had an idea - since I'm really not "using" my Android S3 phone all day long, it gets frustrating when the bettery runs at 30% at 2pm, without any real use.
So the concept would be:
1) either a "ROM" of Android, which would be seriously minimal - like the device is not a smartphone - so only wake up on incoming call or text message
2) or an app, which does the same thing - suspends the phone completely, and wakes it up only on the incoming call or text message
I was just curious - does something like this exist? I don't care about apps, notifications, wifi or sync, I was thinking more along the lines of would it be possible to use your smartphone like a typical "cell phone", and when you need other apps or full features (GPS navigation with maps, or Shazam, or whatever it is you need) - you just "reboot" or do a qucik switch to "full Android" mode, and use those features.
Does any of this makes any sense?
I feel that the battery life should be at least 5 days in that mode, with light usage?
Anyway, I apologize if I got the wrong subsection of the forum, but I was just curious to see if anybody else already though of this, or if they didn't, would it be plausible? I'm a web developer, but I would maybe even try to make something like this in case there's a big need..
It's called deep sleep. Basically, your phone is always in deep sleep when the screen is off, unless there's an active wakelock. Usually, apps request those (or the kernel.) What you can do is to remove (or freeze) apps that request too many wakelocks… You can search around for more detailed info.
In your case, since you only want to use your smartphone as a phone, you could remove all the user apps. You can also remove Google services APKs from /system/app (root required.) To check what apps are requesting wakelocks, you can use Better Battery Stats (read the tutorial inside the app.)
Oh wow, cool! So someone though of this before me. Awesome!
Hey thanks so much for your quick reply, I'll read into the "deep sleep" logic, and I'll take a look at the app right away..
Thanks again man!
Some additional things to help:
Greenify (requires root for most effectiveness) - lets you hibernate apps

There's also the Donate package that will let you hibernate system apps.
That combined with something like this:
