Samsung Apps - Task manager 1.14

While browsing through Samsung Apps on my phone today, I saw that the samsung taskmanager was available as download ..
It's taskmanager 1.14, I don't know if that is new than the one included in the newer firmwares ..
I am running JM1 new ..

Can't see any visual changes after update.

I'll think that the Help page was changed, noticed nothing else.

Just a warning, it lies, it says there's nothing running, but it leaves all the Samsung crap in the background, and mis-reports the amount of free RAM.

its good
but if you compare it to advanced task killer its just crap

Well actually it shows exactly right. It shows only running APPS, not running processes. Advanced Task killer is IMO crap. So many people who is using Advanced Task killer or anything else 3rd party task killers are having a lot of stability issues etc. problems...

i'm still on 1.11, can't see it on Samsung Apps
it's not listed
running JH2 stock ROM

Is anybody having bootup problems after installing this ? Android 2.2

The task manager in the samsung apps are meant for eclair rom, and for those on froyo leaked firmwares, please do not install it.

Samsung Apps Task Manager update

It seems that finally Samsung is doing something about the low performance of the phone when memory goes lower than 60/70mb.This update lets us manage the memory with 2 levels.From what i read in other forum its advised to set ram to level 1 because if u set higher it can close some widgets.Im testing now so i uninstaled other similar program to see if its good or not.

MMMM! At last, samsung is doing something. I'm digging the auto task killer, works better than most task killer. Level 1 is recommended!

Where can I get this app?...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

can some one please upload the apk

Pleaseeee
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Here's the apk file for Samsung Task Manager 1.5.
Install using "My Files", Astro File Manager won't upgrade the app.

same here
Returning to old Task manager after reboot.
Just have to re-install the 1.5 apk again after each reboot

i don't think it's autokilling though. every time i close the application, it reverts back to nothing. seems like you have to manually clear ram. ): not bad to say the least though!

This is strange business...
My newly installed task manager 1.5 has also reverted to the older format following a soft reset. I'm using JM1 and am not rooted. Can anyone suggest how I can reload the task manager 1.5 as it's no longer showing in Samsung Apps? When I look at my installed apps on App Brain, it looks like I've got the option to uninstall the task manager there, even though I can't uninstall it in the normal way on the phone. Has anyone uninstalled their task manager via App Brain, and if so, did it actually uninstall and did it reappear again in Samsung Apps after that?

same problem here, I'm on XWJM3 ITV (Italy).

so i uninstalled Task Manager 1.5 to test if Samsung Apps will display it again (it reverted back to 1.1 after a reboot).
and nope, it doesn't show >.>
looks like i'm gonna have to use the apk.
edit1 : installation successful. it's installed with 1.5 now using Astro file manager. not sure if it'll revert back to the old version after reboot. not interested to deliberately try lol.

pretty cool the new update for task manager .. i dont use any other task killer.. its working just fine.. and dose the job well done the only bad thing is that it dosent auto kill.. u have to manualy clear ram and close other apps that are running.. but anyway is super nice

yea ... disappeared here to - BUT i noticed that it KILLs ATK non-stop ... can it be that it's doing his own autokill procedure ?

BREAKING NEWS:
so i was saying previously that rebooting removes v1.5 of the Task Manager(with ram management).
so I used the APK provided in the posts above and installed over v1.1. I had to reboot but i realise that v1.5 is still sticking around!
okay here's EXACTLY what I did to it if it matters, feel free to try.
Updated to v1.5 via Samsung Apps
Rebooted - losing v1.5 and back to v1.1 in the process
Uninstalled v1.1 Task Manager altogether using Titanium Backup
Long press Home - pressed Task Manager resulting in a phone freeze (lol)
Installed v1.5 over using the APK attached in previous post
and voila, it's surviving reboots. oh ye I installed the APK using Astro File Manager.
Tap the APK file using Astro File Manager -> Open App Manager -> Install
do tell me if it works or i'm being lucky.
edit1 : i rebooted and rebooted again to confirm it's staying and guess what. IT'S STAYING. lol good luck.

[Q] Can't update downloaded apps

hi to all.
I noticed a problem yesterday, i can't update my apps. It says "update" and when i press on it, it downloads, and after 1second "installing" it says : Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card :S. And after that the same app doesn't have "update" status - it says "free" although i have that app on my Desire. And if i download again - it says the same, couldn't install. But i CAN install other apps, that i don't have on my phone. Can somebody help me. i'm running stock 2.2 - not rooted.

Try "Clear Data" and Cache for the market. That may work

Clear data clears all, cache included.
Try clearing Download manager data too.

doesn't help either

Then it is probable Google related in regard to your region. Few weeks ago half of my apps were missing from my apps list so I had to use market enabler to update my apps. This week it started working normal as usual. Wait for a few days, maybe it comes to its senses.

i thought the same

I had exactly the same problem last night and this morning, I wiped all caches including the Dalvik.
It now seems to be working! Rooted with CM7
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

so... i found some solution. ex: Google googles can't update. If i move it to internal and update it's ok. I moved it again on sd and the new version (1.5.2) again doesn't update. i must again move it to internal. it's stupid to do this all the time. I formated the sd card - again the same. what can be the cause? and the cure ? tnx
edit|
found solution online if someone need it :
The solution? Go and delete smdl2tmp1.asec yourself. From what I can tell, it could reside in 2 locations:
/sdcard/.android_secure – this is an invisible folder on your SD card, which you can access with any file manager, like ASTRO
/mnt/secure/asec/ – access to this folder requires root and a program like Root Explore

Ive had that issue in the past and deleting the file helped the first time. HOWEVER, I've encountered this problem again recently, and this fix no longer works. Anyone has another fix?
Froyo, no root, stock rom.

EVO 4G com.htc.launcher - force close

Hello all...i'm a noob
I have an EVO 4G and i've been rooted for a few months now and have flashed a few roms. Sprint Lovers All in one was my first and now i've switched to MikG.
Initially, i downloaded and flashed to 2.58. Was having some issues with the com.htc.launcher so i decided i'd wipe everything again. Downloaded 2.59 and after full wipe of everything 3x flashed that.
I did have Go Launcher EX installed and have removed that. Could this be an issue with that or with something i restored through Titanium as well?
I have searched forums, internet and i can't find anything that will resolve this issue. I have tried to clear the data under manage applications for both sense apps that are on my phone to no avail.
Weird thing is that i seem to be getting the "sorry, the application htc sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again" error only after trying to launch the calendar through the widget but it happens when i launch the app itself as well. Force close is my only option and when i hit force close, of course, sense restarts.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thank you!

[Q] Constant crashes on Galaxy Nexus

Hi
I'm frustrated - my Galaxy Nexus just keeps on crashing, randomly. At first, I thought it had to do with non stable Roms like AOKP (build 23 or 25) or Codename Android (1.4.0). So I downgraded to Stock Rom 4.0.2 on my GSM system.
But it still keeps on crashing. With this, I mean that it reboots all of a sudden and I find myself back at the SIM PIN input screen.
With Codename Android and AOKP, it was so, that it hung "deeply". Ie. when I connected it to my Linux PC, nothing at all showed up in the syslog of the Linux system - normally, it shows that "something" got connected. Not even that happened. "Solution": remove battery…
Well… I know that this is a bit slim, but how/where might I start to debug the cause of the crashes?
I don't have any special hardware connected. Most often, it crashes, while I'm typing somewhere (Browsers (different ones: chrome, browser, dolphin), Google Mail, Google Talk, Google+). But it also happens, that it crashes in the middle of the night, when I'm certainly not typing.
How to debug?
About this phone:
My installed apps: on Google Docs or or pastehtml.com — I also tried trimming the list of installed apps down, but either I didn't trim enough, or it was in vain…
Well… As you might guess… I'm totally clueless…
Thanks,
Alexander

If you have the android development tools installed on ur computer, you could try just leaving the phone plugged in while the Logcat view is opened. Logcat displays a whole bunch of debug info which may help you out when the phone suddenly reboots itself.
Also when you downgraded the firmware to stock, did you also clear the cache partition? Have you tried doing a factory reset from the UI? Did you also downgrade your radio to stock? Things to keep in mind.
- chris

Hm.logcat. Most of the time, i am not near a computer, when it cradhes. Is there a way to continually store the logcat output on the device itself?
When i downgraded, i did a cache wipe. I also did cache wipes / factory resets, when i had the custom roms installed.
I also flashed the stock radio, yes. So that is not the reason, i would say.
It is also not related to the keyboard - i thought so first. So i switched from SlideIt to SwiftKeyX. No change. And it also crashes while i am not typing.
Alexander

If I were you, I'd go to complete stock. Stock rom, kernel, and radios. No extra apps and see if it's a hardware issue or not. But that's just me.

Well, loveubuntu, i see what youre saying, i really do, but this basically would mean, that i couldnt use the phone. And what good is a phone, that cannot be used?
I am already back to stock rom, stock kernel and stock radio.

Well if you're back to 100% stock, relocked and not rooted it could be one of two things. Hardware issue or an app.

Well, thanks, but it doesnt help much...
And, actually, it just occured to me, that it is.already known, that it mist be an app. Ive got the same crashes with custom rom/kernel and stock rom/kernel. This shows, that the crash isnt.related to rom/kernel.
But how to debug this? I cannot keep the smartphone connected to the pc to have logcat ru.ning all the time. When i am travelling, i just dont have a pc around...
Any ideas?

well ffs not 24 hours a day. They mean just plug it in and run a logcat while you're using it and try to force a crash. If you can capture a log of what happened when it crashed then you will know what's crashing it.
If you go back to 100% stock (as in, flash Google images) and it still crashes with no apps installed, its a hardware problem.
Uninstall your task killer while you're at at it...

I cannot force a crash - as I said, it happens randomly
As far as crash with no apps installed… Well… I guess it won't crash, because then I won't be using it. That advice really cannot be followed.
It's been suggested to relock and remove root. What would that do? Could that really have anything to do with it? Very hard to imagine.
Oh, why uninstall the Task Killer? Yes, it's installed, but not active (in the sense, that it does not kill any tasks automatically and I also don't usually kill tasks. System also crashed, when I didn't kill any tasks).

re-locking and unrooting will help diagnose the problem as app related or hardware. You may have a lemon.
Also, if you know it's app related, then the solution is easy. Uninstall all the apps and start again. That's why I suggested a factory reset. You can factory reset being rooted and unlocked. You can backup with titanium backup first anything you may need or make a nandroid.
task killers cause these kinds of problems.

Had a very simler problem to this, on stock 4.0.2, tried rooting and installing custom rom to see if it fixed and didnt also lots of factory resets nothing helped! In the end i had to send it off to sammy, got it back same problem , off again they sent it back with the same problem , off AGAIN got it back on friday with ( oddly) a new screen and havent had a problem since.
My advice send it for repair, if its happening with different roms / stock or whatever its gotta be hardware
If you want a logcat that you dont need a pc for use " alogcat" free app from the market, helped me ( mine actually had hardware error on the logcat )
