Good day everyone!
I have a noob question and I hope it is not a repost !
Is there away to force stop an application that won't let it run again unless the user initiate it?
Because some apps even if you kill them! By usuing some apps like advanced task killer, they will still start again after few minz !
Thanks

Hi guys my 2nd post here. Just updated my phone to 2.2 and was wondering if I should bother using task killer anymore. Someone told me that I don't really need to on 2.2. What are your suggestions since you guys seriously have answers to everything. Thank you.

task killers do more bad than good
You would be better off using a task PREVENTER like "autostarts" if you want to keep open processes down
Froyo won't allow them to kill the app. Only background data. So essentially they are useless with Froyo.

I have a question, might be a dumb question, who knows.
Well here it is, when you go into application management and then into running app. What are the consequences when you hit clear cache or hit clear data or forces close? Thanks in advance everyone.

All depends on what app and whether or not you are on a stock rom. Some apps are supposed to run. Just so we're totally clear you are talking about running apps and not running systems tab right?
I'm running a stock evo, not rooted. And yes I mean running apps also download apps not system apps. And thank you for the quick reply.

I love my gn but this one thing really bothers me!
Im a heavy talker, i use the phone app more then any other app
when Im not in the phone app, android caches it so i can get back quickly later
but if im doing something that take memory like browser/youtube/facebook android just clear the phone app from cache (ive tested that with the built-in app manager)
then when i go back to lets say, call log, it takes 2 sec to load + scrolling down the list lags so much! (when i reach down the list, android caches is back again so everything is smooth now)
any way of forcing it to stay cached? i found lots of apps in the market to clear cache, not one app of doing the other way around?

Whenever you are done using an app that's not the Phone app, just use the built-in app switcher to close that app (swipe the app off the list to close it). That way, the phone app won't get bumped out of memory.
Uhhhh..that doesn't close anything, just clears it from the list.

I thought that too.. it seems to close fruit ninja.. the browser... so I assume it closes apps.

I don't have the phone yet, but in the emulator, it is able to close any app that's not running a service.
Almost a month later, few custom roms and kernels but its still buggs me, does anyone but me have this? Is there something i can do about it?

Swiping from the recent apps list is the same as closing an app with the back button.

Hey guys, I always wandered why apps run I'm background even though its been 2 weeks or so since u used them.
How can I prevent that from happening?
The reason I am asking is because those apps kill my ram. My ram hit 80% occupied and every time I have to hit kill tasks.
Some other times I hit kill tasks but those apps keep running in background sooo annoying.
I also installed greenify which hibernate those apps and they keep running.
I don't wanna install them cause I use them from time to time. So what could be the solution for this problem?
Please help thanks a lot.

The run at startup. Some do. Restart your phone check what's running and uninstall or stop the processes

I already limited that to only the apps I want to start at boot. So u don't think that's the issue.
At boot things go well but after 4 days things start to get messy and apps start in background by it self and when I kill them, they just load again. Its nuts.

If that happens I just uninstall things I don't need etc like 3rd party lunchers keyboards all that uses ram

Android is designed to do this..
Do a search for how android / linux kernel managed ram.. YOUR Fighting your phone and how it works by killing off apps. If you device needs the ram it will kill off the least used app ..
but there are some rogue apps. IF THE APP Creates account LIKE Facevirus
you have to disable its sync settings.. ohh and you will have to do so every day or to it turns its setting back to suit there needs not yours..
other rogue apps do the same..
If you are rooted, you can use Greenify. With this you can hibernate any application that starts in background which will save both your RAM and Battery.
Search for this app on XDA or Play store

So, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Great and very helpful site!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II and an SIII and SII before them. I'm a bit of a Samsung Galaxy fan.
I've noticed with these devices that apps like Spotify, Netflix and Redbox drain my battery like crazy but when I go to:
Settings / More / System manager / Application manager and scroll to these apps, then click the "Force stop" button it helps like crazy.
I've tried looking this up on the inter-webs and it appears that you're not supposed to do that?
I've also tried using task manager type apps to kill these programs when I'm done with them but even though these apps say that the progs are killed I still have the "Force stop" button highlighted and my battery draining in the background.
Please help me understand this? My next thought is to as for help writing a simple bit of code that kills all of the apps that I hardcode in the program.
Try Greenify from the play store it hibernates apps your not using and it has an extention in xposed to do even more with system apps try it b4 doing something more drastic

I'm not rooted if that matters but ill give it a try

This Greenify program is perfect! It does exactly what I was looking for. I pick the apps that I want to participate in this and it creates a hibernate shortcut on my desktop. I click the shortcut and it "Forces Close" all of the apps that I pre-chose! Thank you!
Your welcome glad to help
