Does anyone know how to disable this? I searched around and found 2 possible solutions which didn't work at all. I disabled it with Advanced Config, and I tried that EverApp thing, and I'm still having this problem.
It's just really frustrating because I try to open Palringo, and then switch to Opera Mobile and then Palringo closes! And then if I wait long enough, Opera will close if I get a phone call or something and I'll lose all my tabs!
I really don't understand the point of this? I could do more multi tasking on the first Tilt than I can with the Tilt 2.
I think the problem you discripe is a memory problem. When you run out of memory windows will automaticly shutdown some non-essential programs.
What windows/sense versions do you use?
Im not sure if this is what you mean, but here's my suggestion
Tap the top right corner of your screen to open Task Manager.
Then tap settings (Little pic of a spanner)
Then go to the 'Button' Tab.
Is the 'Enable the "X" button to end running programs' box checked? Check if unckecked.
Make sure 'End programs by tapping and holding "X"' is highlighted, NOT 'End programs by tapping "X"'
Now when you tap the "X" button to close running apps, it'll just minimize it instead of closing it. To close a program hold "X" down
its a memory thing, opera takes a lot of ram, so windows is wanting to close other apps when running it (or close opera when you run other apps)
Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how many times will this nonsense circle..

No, that's not the problem, I have it set to keep things open when I click X. I don't understand why things are getting closed when there's like 30 to 40m of ram free. I know about the issue with only 32 applications running, but I only have 18 open?
What other applications does this occur with other than Palingro?

You've verified you have 18 open how? MemMaid is what I use to see how many are running total, anything else who knows.
80% of this problem went away for me when I got rid of a few utilities I didn't need to run anymore and brought my idle processes down to 20ish.. Flexmail and Palringo are always running, often on top of that are Waze, GcZII, random other things.. and I use Opera a bit too. Haven't had a program get killed by the system in quite a while.
I have an HTC Droic Incredible 2. Recently, I disable auto-syn to save battery. Also, lately, when my phone boots up, I am greeted with the following Android Assistant message. "Becasue of google's limits, the following apps cannot be killed. Please click to force close from application info." It then lists the apps that cannot be killed: Sync Service, doubletwist, Mobile IM, Sound set, maps. I then have the option to click switch to all or close (notification). Anyone have this problem? Anyone have any ideas on how to get this annoying notification to disappear? Thanks.
I don't want to be "that guy", but this is the Droid Incredible OG forum. Look for the Dinc2 one.
Look at dinc2 forums. Try a Google search.
But no, I can't say that I have seen that message.
Try looking through settings to see if there is a battery saver option, auto task manager, etc then disable it and see if it happens again.
What is default setting for this option on HTC One V, was it on default or what
Standard Limit!
My daughter often complains that a couple of apps like the facebook one and also sms messaging on her phone tends to freeze for a few seconds now and again, would setting this limit to 4 help in any way? Thanks.

my experience has been either tgis function does not work at all or as i understood it to be. for instance in stock or modified,updated sense it just does nothing and only force killing an app makes it terminate and comes right back. similar experience in other non sense roms with feature. i use system tuner to remove apps from startup that are not essential and use kill app with back button available in roms that have the feature. the app terminates and does not restart until i restart it and i always kill it versus simply exiting the app.
So I have had my Pixel XL for just over a week now and for the last few days I have been getting annoying pop ups appear in chrome when browsing sites such as xda, phonearena and techradar.
When the pop up appears in chrome the phone vibrates and it will not let me close the tab. Usually the pop up will claim that I have won the lottery or a free iphone etc.
I have tried, deleting all history, cache, cookies etc from chrome since the beginning of time and I have done the same on my laptop to prevent it syncing back across. I have also tried resetting all network settings but the issue persists.
I get the same issue both on WIFI and on 3/4G.
Has anyone had the same issue? if so how did you fix it? I thought the Pixel was supposed to be a secure phone, i feel like its already riddled with malware!
Thanks in advance!
* I will grab a screen shot of the next pop up and upload it to this thread. *
Update 5th Nov: added Screenshot.
This happens to me from time to time. My best guess is that it's just malicious ads on the sites, and not actually malware on the phone or anything to worry about. Closing the tab has always ended it for me. What happens when you try to close it but can't?

I find it strange that sites like xda and techradar have malicious ads though? also this has only surfaced in the last couple of days? before this is had no issues...
My concern lies mainly in the fact that you can't close the tab. What happens exactly when you try to do that?
when the pop up if present on the screen you cannot press the tab button (top right) to close the tab. The way I get around it is pressing the switch app software button at the bottom and then selecting google chrome. I then get a split second to quickly press the tab button top right on chrome or the ad wont let me press it again. The pop up ad causes the ad to vibrate violently when chrome is open. Its winding me up.

I expect that it's a dialog box preventing you from pressing the tab button. Is this the case? If so, did you try checking "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs", then dismissing it?
Thanks for your help, I. Was trying to find a way of preventing the pop ups in the first place if anyone has any ideas? Could it be a rogue app on my device, I've only installed a handful of 3rd party apps and most are from large companies, BBC, premier league etc.

Not a rogue app, my freshly restored Pixel does it. I installed an adblocker.

I installed AdAway, I did root my device.
Adguard works really well if you don't want to root.

Thank you, I will give this a go.
So I remember having this issue a few months back. I'm looking for the Google problem that was logged but from what I remember the issue is not device specific but actually based off of your unique google ad profile. These malicious ads are going after those ID's and then that's how you get vibrate ads on reputable sites. I stopped using personalized ads and that fixed the issue for me a few months ago. I will try to find the link to add. It is an issue Google is aware of.
Ad support is fine and XDA has the right to have ads.
Where I draw the line is the Ad described by the OP, I would complain to XDA.
With XDA I support the site by subscribing
I had the same thing happen to me. I determined it was a bad or unofficial .apk for ShowBox. Once I deleted it, the vibrating pop-ups stopped. I ultimately found the proper .apk, installed it and haven't had the issue again.
So I've installed Adguard and I'm a little concerned that my traffic is being routed through their vpn. I don't really trust that.
Also I've added a Screenshot of one of these annoying pop ups that vibrate my phone. FYI I didn't have Adguard running at the time.
I've also gotten these a few times. If I remember correctly I also noticed it on my Note 7.
Vibrating ads have nothing to do with malicious apps, webpages have permission to vibrate natively
Narrow down the problem... process of elimination.
Exactly what sites/pages/tabs do you have open when this is happening? Either your phone has been jacked and needs to be wiped (or maybe Chrome removed/reset) or you are visiting the same page(s)/websites that have been jacked. Believe it or not, this happens to some very reputable sites due to poor security on the part of themselves or an advertising vendor purchasing and displaying ads on the site.
I've had my 7T for about a week now. Its such a dang good phone. I love it. But I've one issue I'm looking for help with.
Apps that I expect to do things in the background don't work.
Example 1: Spottily is set to auto play when the bluetooth connects. On my Samsung as long as the app was in the background I didn't even have to unlock the phone. On the 7T I have to wake up the phone and bring the app into the foreground before it will start playing.
Example 2: I have an app that will let me download from instagram, it sits in the background and intercepts clip board links. Works great on my samsung but on this phone I have to switch to the app before it will do its thing.
Its as if its heavily throttling apps in the background and I've found now way to change that. Any advice?
edit: I have tried the following with no effect.
1. Tried locking the app in multitasking
2. Turning off battery optimization for the apps in questions

I have no such issues. Whatever app I want to keep running in the background is always running. I've had such an issue with my previous huawei phone, and the button mapper app. I don't experience any of those. I have a 7T HD1903 on OOS 10.0.8.
