I have a few apps that are supposed to do things in the background (Google Photos uploading, Titanium Backup running scheduled jobs) and they simply don't run.
I have set their battery optimisations correctly and have them able to run in the background, but no luck.
This was also happening before I rooted the phone (not with TB though obviously!)
Any ideas, or is this an EMUI bug?
-EDIT- Scheduling a task in Tasker works fine. Tasker is using identical battery opt settings to TB.

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.
So I downloaded the free version of system panel just to get an idea of whats running on my phone, since the default task manager isn't too accurate.
after a restart i have a bunch of random things. for example, calendar storage (dont use the calendar at all), maps (i havent opened it yet), media hub (never use this), Messaging (i use handscent).
i remember how i used to have an app killer to end these things but from what i've learned most people believe app killers waste more battery than they save? and that at this point android is good on ending processes on it's own?
how come these random things are running?
basically i wanna save battery life. i use SuperPower but it's kinda annoying tbh. data disable when screen off = gotta keep my screen on for market to update apps, fb chat to keep running/stay online, etc.
any suggestions?

Don't use Super Power, I've come to realize that was a much larger hassle than the benefits it made. If you have Titanium Backup Pro freeze all apps you never use, like Media Hub and other Samsung apps. And things like Calander Storage don't worry about, I'm sure it's nothing that's draining your battery.
And also, task killers DO drain more battery than they save, assuming you're on a froyo 2.2 based rom. And if you want turn off Auto Sync in settings and this will save some battery. Otherwise, your battery life should be pretty solid.

as for titanium backup, i don't have pro but i guess i will buy it if there aren't any free alternatives to freeze apps?
thanks man
I'm sorry if something like this has come up before, it's quite hard to search for specific things like this and I probably look stupid for just realising this now but here goes:
I always assumed that Greenify would only hibernate apps that I myself didn't have running (ie apps that weren't in overview or the foreground) yet I've recently realised that apps in the overview page (recent tasks) on lollipop are also susceptible to being greenified. Is it possible to have apps be excluded from hibernation whilst they are in overview?
For example, I greenify the Eurosport app because it runs a service even though I have push notifications off for it, but I still want to be able to have it in the background and jump back to it without it reloading, so the ideal would be I could leave it in the overview and multitask into it again later. However if the screen has been off for a few minutes Greenify hibernates it meaning it requires a reload, which may in fact use more battery overall than I saved by greenifying it in the first place.
Is it possible to add the condition that apps only get greenified once they've been cleared from overview/recent tasks/multitasking (whatever you want to call it)
It has been discussed before.
1. Android 5.0 removed the ability for an app to get the list of recent apps.
2. Recent app list is actually managed by Android system. An app in the list does not mean its process is still running, and some being squeezed out of the list also do not mean their processes are ended.
So it's not reliable for hibernation to depends on the recent apps list.
In your case, if that app does not cause battery issue, it's suggested to keep it out of Greenify for process to be cached.
I have this phone and planning to freeze bloatware to begin with. Problem I'm getting is I don't really know which ones to freeze and which ones I shouldn't
I have TitaniumBackup. It doesn't highlight any of the 'critical' system apps which could rekh the phone. Only one I know I shouldn't disable is the "TouchWiz". There are bunch of 'applications' names in the 'system apps'. some are listed without an icon and just like "com.xxxxxx.xxxx". I don't know if these are safe to disable or not.
Anyone know an app which highlights the critical ones? I don't want to disable like the GSM or Display of the phone via Titanium Backup
Will be following this thread to remove data from.

Be careful what you disable as most apps on tw devices are reliant on each other.
I disabled a load of them and nearly borked my phone. After a while it got slower and slower.
Hangouts and chaton plug into the system messager, they can be disabled. Apps that plug in to system apps can be disabled safely without fear of killing it just dont disable actual system stuff. Eg Disabling google play services will save you battery but will cause issues with apps and games. You will be disabling very little on tw devices!.
As for camera. The stock app is sh** so use a 3rd party app. Dont disable the stock camera app as system needs it for diagnostics should you ever need to test your device using the factory test app (mmi code).
Basically, go slowly starting with apps that you never use. Disable instead of delete as if you have issues you can restore easily.

It would be very useful if Titanium backup and Tasker were compatible in such a way that when I plug my phone into the charger, Tasker can detect this event and launch one of my specific TB backups (i.e Backup new user+system apps& newer versions).
I know there exists scheduled backups, but I'm not looking for those. I charge my phone irregularly because I have a giant 11,000 mAh battery strapped to it, so a nightly backup - say, 3 AM- isn't practical for me. I can make shortcuts on TB that starts the backup process. But I could not find a way to make tasker run these TB shortcuts.
People have suggested to use Auto-shortcut plugin for Tasker, but this does not detect/list the custom shortcut from TB (or any TB shortcut), and I have tried everything I could to try to get it to work.
If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated
You put a widget to the desired backup in a side launcher (or on your homescreen) and get over it that it takes you half a second to manually innitiate the backup whenever you plug in your phone.
I virtually takes half a second. Imagine all the backups you could have made while trying to figure out how to make taker do it for you.
I agree, it takes a second to do this, but if it can be automated, I'd prefer it so. Anyone?

Schedule a backup every hour at night, but only if charging. It's a setting within tibu, no tasker nedded.
Or try scheduling a backup for 03:00 everyday and "kill app, titanium backup, if screen is on, or power is not ac at 02:59:59:91".
