Hi,
Is there a way to obtain Android OS logs?
Things like shutdown log (turn off) ... I want to know what happen during shutdown, because most of the time, my phone cannot be turned off ...
I must pull out the battery.
This only happen after I use the phone for longer hours.
And no, I dont use task killer at all ... and does not install background apps.
No auto sync, no mobile data.
Get aLogCat from the Android Market.

Hello,

Gmail is alaways running, how to close it ?

No need to close an app, because later u will have to START it AGAIN (this will consume cpu and battery)..so why u want to close it?
Lets stay it in background, it does't use cpu and doesn't drain battery and in this way the app is ready for the next use!
Gmail is always running, and appears again also if u stop it, because it have to sync ur mails and have the permissions to start at phone boot.
Tip: uninstall skype, is still a bad app in my opinion

Pretty much spot on.
Closing applications is not necessary, ever. If you stop killing applications you won't have FCs all the time. Get rid off your task-killer.
Is this possible to adjust gmail that it sync. with my mail just when i need, not always ?
I'm using Task Manager at the moment which lets you kill everything with one button but my problem is with the amount of tasks that keep coming back. For instance I rarely use Skype or Photobucket (although I like having them) but they still end up in the list of running tasks. Is there anything that can stop them from starting at all?
Thanks.
They always advise here not to install any task killer..
But I'm interested too on how to stop those apps like skype, YM, etc. that keeps on running, I get irritated sometimes even I just recently stopped them using settings-app-running services, but still they keep on coming back..

They may appear in the Running Services tab , but they're frozen, they're not taking ressources in that state. Killing them with a task killer causes them to respawn, and if the process is frequent (such as autokilling every 30 minutes) there is a cycle of constant kill-respawn which affects your battery life.
so thhere no way to stop it..kinda annoying
Yes,they do that alot dont they?
well,fear not,you dont need the task manager because its GOOD that your memory is free,it means your APPS will boot QUICKER! This true! it works differnetely than on windows,so you dont need a task killer,i dont use it anymore

You can root and delete them.
Or
You can try Android Assistant which can prevent programs from loading when you turn your phone on. Dont need root.
Either way, you should get android assistant. It is an excellent phone manager.
And oh yea, never use a task killer. When it kills an app, the phone will load it again, then task killer will kill it, then the phone will load it again, then task killer will kill it, etc etc etc in a never ending cycle of processor and battery wastage.
Thanks, I'll try Android Assistant
i second the recomendation for android assistant! everytime i reflash my firmware or whatever, that is one of the first apps i download. i like to compare it to the msconfig utility on windows you can stop things from loading at boot, kill things that are currently running, and so much more
Hi, I need a bit of help please with my P6 still on 4.2.2 my issue is a massive drain on battery life apparently being caused by Android OS using up around 70%. I have only wifi and mobile internet running with location etc turned off. One thing that I'm unable to control the background apps manager setting properly in that the only app I want to keep running is WhatsApp so I set the All button to off. However in next to no time I find it has switched itself back to on.
I've been through manage apps and turned off or disabled pretty well all that I dare.
Many thanks in advance.
Oh, just to add a little more information if I try to access Start up manager I get a "Power manager has stopped working" message.
Is there some way I could reinstall or repair the Power manager?
Unfortunately WhatsApp seems to override sleep on a lot of systems so you may be in a situation where it is constantly waking itself up.
Try just letting it run i.e don't try to stop it in start manager.
Thanks for that, the problem doesn't appear to be with WhatsApp because when I look at the battery consumption tab the biggest user by far, and mean at up to 70% is the android OS.
I only mention start up manager as it's one of the items controlled through power manager. My real issue is the background apps manager self enabling all background apps.
I'm really trying to avoid doing a factory reset if possible.
Hi all,
I'm running several apps that should run all the time (AdGuard, Network Speed Meter) or for a long time (speed trap warner,...) but OxygenOS kills them after a certain period. Some of them restart automatically, some don't. Of course all of these apps are 'not battery optimized'. Is there any chance to prevent OxygenOS from killing them?
Are there custom ROMs that can overcome this problen?
I'm on the latest OxygenOS Pie Beta, but the behavior was similar on Android O...
Thanks a lot,
W
Did you try locking the app via recents menu?
Thank for the info, didn't know that.
Unfortunately it doesn't help, Adguard and the network monitor don't appear in recents. The speed trap warner automatically starts and stops when I'm in the car, i don't want to open recents manually every time.

This is not changing anything,e ven with disable battery disabled, even with adaptative battery disabled.
I have the same problem. I have not found any solution whatsoever. This is really frustrating. I've made sure apps aren't optimized. Advanced optimization is disabled. Developer options background limit is at standard. I've pinned the apps in recent apps and it still happens. Apps get killed all the time.
For example,
1. I use Google Fit to start tracking a run. Within 10 minutes of tracking, the app is closed and workout not tracked. Its not even like i touched the phone and opened other apps during this.
2. I have VoIP account setup in the default dialer. Calls come through only 50% of the time cause the dialer is closed.
3. YouTube Music, constantly gets closed if i simply pause the music. Within 2 minutes, the app is closed.
4. Trying to transfer 15GB of files through Explorer app from phone to file server, never succeeds if i don't watch the app and keep the screen on.
5. Plex gets closed and therefore my photos don't auto backup with the phone is plugged in.
This is absolutely ridiculous! Why the hell a phone with 8GB of RAM is killing apps is beyond me!
Custom ROM on the same phone, like Lineage OS, no issues. Can have optimization on, battery manager on and all. In fact, battery life is better on custom when its not killing the apps! Seems to be the only solution until OOS can stop killing apps so aggressively.

My app is not killed when i lock it in the switch app menu
There's a whole website regarding that issue on several devices, maybe it helps: dontkillmyapp(dot)com/general#user-solution
Is there a way to prevent an app from ever being killed? I have 2 examples:
1) Fitbit app (background sync service, specifically) - when this stops running, some features on my watch quit working until I launch the app and sync manually.
2) Battery monitor app - I've tried AccuBattery (my preferred app), GSam, and BBS, but they all get killed and restart, and therefore give inaccurate information. BBS doesn't die as often as the others, but I don't like it as well. All 3 have persistent notifications, so I can tell when they last restarted.
I've set Battery Optimization to "Don't Optimize" for all of these. I've tried turning off all 3 of the settings under Advanced Optimization (probably unnecessary, no noticeable difference). I've also Locked each of these from recent apps. Are there any other settings I'm missing that could prevent an app from being killed? Possibly something new to Android 11? Fitbit and AccuBattery worked fine on my previous OP7P with Android 10.

I have try to to go to developer mode and go to standby application. go inside and set the app you want to always on to active and remember still set battery to don't Optimize and locked the app. Do not click the clear all button.

Interesting, I haven't seen that before. Thanks for introducing me to something new. All of the apps in question are currently grayed out and say Exempted, so they shouldn't ever be put into standby.
Disable all power management*, Android does fine without it. Address any remaining power hogs individually on a case by case basis.
Power management will cause erratic behavior and can even increase battery usage even after its lame "adjustment" period.
To check if it is fully disabled go to Developer options>Standby apps, all buckets should show to be in their active state (and can't be manually assigned), if not power management is enabled.
Make sure allow background usage isn't disabled on the apps you want to run.
*yeah turn all those optimizing toggles OFF.
Only fast charging should be toggled on if you use it.

How does one disable all power management? I don't see any sort of global switch for that. Turning it off entirely seems drastic, but I agree that power management is generally more trouble than it's worth.
I did verify that the apps in question are allowed to run in the background and use unlimited data.

It seems like you're setting up right. Check the Stand by apps status.
When you first load Accubattery it gives an option to disable task killing in settings, Pro version.
Uninstalling then reinstalling it sometimes works for me; clearing its data does not. I was getting the same error message until I just reinstalled it
Just don't take Accubattery too seriously... it's useful up to a point.
I'm on Pie. Google really screwed up 10 and especially 11... so yeah it could something new as Google insists on changing things even if they're already nearly perfect
If that fails check with Accubattery for guidance with 11. They are responsive to emails.
They may also be punching out an update.
