Hello,
I just wanted to know if there was any way to block non-android apps? I know you can do it from settings, then applications, but you can enable installation of apps by just checking that option. Is there any way I can block them? Thanks, and I want to do this because my brother keeps installing useless games and apps again and again.
I don't think you can any other way.. but one thing you can do is install a app that can hide your android market app or any other app you choose so he cant access the market... I can't quite remember the name of it but its a pretty cool app.. you can also hide pics, movies, and other media on your phone.. wish I could help a little more

yes but there are many background processes that will be running. You can use an app called NQ mobile booster on the market which will freeze certain background processes and actually close apps when you exit out of them. This app is one of the few that doesn't actually damage the system by freezing apps
So I'm running a 2100 m a h extended life battery and I know I should be getting better life than this. I'm running 4.1 jelly bean on cdma phone, stock kernel. I also have the app killer checked on, and my screen brightness is pretty low. I've been having my wifi at home but still for 4 hours in 40 percent screen time that's really bad numbers. just wondering if anybody has any input

Uninstall your task killer, those do more harm than good. And download BetterBatteryStats to see what is draining your battery.
More likely it's your apps that are causing it to drain very badly. Any shady looking apps I would uninstall. And like above me, do those both as well.

What setting is this? And don't use it.
You may want to use the Better Battery stats application to check for wake locks.
Trying a different kernel may also help. The Faux kernel works well for myself.
Lastly, the standby time doesn't give as much insight into your battery life as well as screen on time does. What kind of screen on time are you getting?
Note: don't use task killers, and don't manually kill applications.

Wow your right. First for some reason I couldn't even click back on x d a developers app kept force closing and after I check that I can finally go back didn't think that would effect so much

Turn off any app killing, as you've done.
In your screenshot, you had a lot of calls, that'll do it too, so battery life can vary.
Here is today's. I don't get it. 2100 math battery low brightness display

I am not sure about the stock app killer but any 3rd party app killer is constantly scanning your phone looking for apps running even if there is none so it's constantly using battery power

You really don't need to use a task killer after froyo. If your running jellybean, or ICS, just swipe the app off the built in task manager, that works better then any third party app.

Some people are dumb.
Beyond froyo, android will kill apps as resources are needed. Auto task killers use more battery by making you constantly restart apps.

Amen to that :good:
I let Android handle it on its own, unless it's a seldomly used app that I've only temporarily used.. I'll close those when I'm done. Task killers aren't worth it.
I see tons of people recommending against task killers, which is fine. That's no reason, however, to allow hundreds of apps to start up on their own (e.g., at boot, when Internet access is active, etc.). ROM Toolbox Lite has many useful apps, one of which is an auto-start manager. I'm sure there are others.
Autostarts is very useful for preventing apps from starting. Before ICS, I relied on Advanced Task Killer. Now I just use Autostarts and the stock task manager to manage running tasks.

Hi I have note 2 which is fantastic and I am very pleased with it. So far I was getting perfect battery life but lately it doesn't last that long so I installed BBS and this audioOut wakelock is preventing my phone from sleeping. Is there a chance to find which program is keeping this wakelock? I searched the web and there is Nino help. It is almost always on silent and I am not using it to listen to the music. Thanks

I've seen all kinds of "fixes" here - e.g. switch ringtones and reboot, turn off all system sounds, use Task Manager to turn off everything and many more.
Not one has worked for me on any ROM with any kernel, which makes me suspect that it's a rogue app. It never takes me a long time to realise that I cannot be bothered trying to track down the responsible app, so I live with it. YMMV. Viber has been mentioned frequently (never had it myself).
Sounds very similar to the Media drain problem. Similar alleged reasons, similar useless solutions, even poor Viber is also wrongfully scapegoated. What kills me is once the problem start it remains no matter what the heck you do, even if you wipe, root, change roms, format, remove/change sd card, etc... Nothing short of a hammer will solve the ****ing problem.
Download advanced task killer and set it to kill all apps at screen off. Also configure greenify to greenify all apps.

delete viber and reboot and you'll be good
Yes I have Viber but I can't see it is running in background... Sometimes I am not accessing gallery or any media files for days and that wakelock is on.. and it goes as our comes.. And I just started to brag about its fantastic battery life...

Ffs I am saying since so long. You just need to configure advanced task killer and greenify. But no. We want some other kinda solution.
