I run watchdog and every single night I get woken up with a notification that my cars.com app is running @ 50% CPU. This is the only app that has a problem -- is there any app or service that can schedule to automatically close this app whenever it is open for more than x minutes?
This is from the watch dog application, sounds like what you are looking for:
The paid version has all the features of the lite, removing the ads, while adding a “blacklist” feature. This allows you to pick a single app that is constantly misbehaving and assign a CPU % threshold to it. When that app exceeds the threshold, it will be automatically killed.

On my BlackBerry, I could tell the thing to turn off/on the attenna at certain times. This allowed me to disable notifications at night and resume them when I got up.
If there isn't one, is there one for sound? Sometimes I forget to turn it off and woken up multiple times due to incoming messages at night.

If you have some tech/application savvy, then get Tasker in the Marketplace for a couple bucks. It's like a custom feature development program; basically it lets you establish 'profiles' i.e., conditions under which certain 'tasks' are triggered, then the tasks themselves.
So for example, you would create a profile called 'Sleepy Time'; you could set that profile to activate when you hit a toggle switch, or you can even set it to turn on at a pre-specified hour. Hell, you can even set it to turn on at a pre-specified hour unless you have an active data session running.
The possibilities are somewhat limitless, but that's why I recommend it for more savvy users, because you have to 'build' the profiles and tasks manually (it's not very difficult, but it's not like your one-and-done single-purpose apps). Also, some folks post their purpose-specific pre-built profiles on the developers wiki for others to use.
Same goes for sound. You can have it disable all sounds except your alarm clock starting at a certain hour, you can even program it to disable all sounds unless you receive a call from, e.g., your wife/girlfriend/mistress.
Other than that, Juice Defender (also marketplace app), also has customized profiles for night, etc. and is much easier to configure (though you are more limited on WHAT you can configure). You need the Ultimate (paid) version for access to the most granular optimizations (e.g., disable all data synchronization between 1:30AM and 6:30 AM unless the screen is on, auto-disable my wi-fi when I'm not home, etc.).
As a recovering Blackberry user, I can empathize with some of your withdrawal symptoms. If you do end up with Tasker, PM me and and I will send you a copy of the profiles/tasks I built to replicate the Blackberry 'Sound Profiles' feature using a one-touch widget.
Juice defender, a couple bucks on the market saves your sleep. A few profiles and your set plus good training to get you started for the future. The extra battery life is just sauce for the goose
Got my oneplus yesterday finally after 11 days from ordering.
One thing that is annoying me is on my old phone which was a htc one m7 I use to be able to hold down the back button to kill the app. This means it wouldn't even show on my recent apps menu
On 5t I went into the button setting but there is no option to kill an app while holding the back button.
Is there another way ?
I use gravity box but it requires Xposed
Why would you want to kill apps? Killing apps means if you want to re launch the app it will start from beginning costing you extra cpu power. Anyway if you don't want to root you can control your background activity on the developer settings

For me, it's just nice to have when an app is misbehaving. It's quicker than going into the app info and force stopping it from there. Sometimes my WhatsApp gets disconnected from WhatsApp web on my laptop; a force close of the app tends to fix the issue, and having a long press shortcut seems to be the quickest/most efficient way to do so
I've been trying to get a water reminder app to help me drink more.
I have done the manual app control thing but the hourly notification part stops after an hour or so no matter which app I use.
It feels like another power saving thing is operating in the background and I can't quite figure it out.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks
Joe
When even manage manually isn't enough, I disable battery optimization for the app in settings - apps - 3 dots menu - special access
Ever since the most recent forced update on the 10th my LM-G710VM has had an issue with memory management.
It will literally kill ANY app, twitch, YouTube, maps, music etc. The moment it's in the background.
Here's an example, watching a YouTube video, click the home button to listen to it in the background while using maps, it will play for about 5 seconds then stop playing. If I pop out the screen for the little floaty picture in picture it won't kill the app. (usually)
This is the same with any of these apps.
Sometimes even just getting a text message and opening the pop-up response will kill all apps underneath it.
I've checked developer settings, adjusted the allowable background apps, Uninstalled a bunch of unused apps etc. I can't seem to find exactly what is causing this, it's really starting to make my phone hard to use.
Ideas?
Sometimes I turn on my phone screen and a bunch of texts drop in. For some reason my FB messenger is going into hibernation or something and I don't see an option to make it stay awake. I'm sure I'm just not looking in the right place.
Edit: found a setting that was set to "intelligent control" and had 2 other option, Optimize and Don't Optimize. It was under Battery optimization so I set it to "Don't Optimize". It was probably intelligently putting the app to sleep. Let's see if that fixes it.
