maps and other apps keep launching in the background?!

Im puzzled why maps and other apps keep autostarting in the background?
and eat battery... maps alone can eat up to 10% of my battery in the duration of a day, even if I dont use it...

Get a task killer app and set it to always kill maps, and set a schedule for pruning (like every 30 mins). It's not supposed to start by itself. If you haven't rooted/flashed a custom ROM on it, call HTC. If you have, unroot and go back to stock for a day and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, it's the ROM's fault.

its not rooted, so if I understand you correctly its a bug?

Either a software bug or an application issue. Have you reset to factory settings (full wipe)?

no not yet..

how much does a 'full wipe' .... 'wipe'?

About as much as 2 packs of Kleenex.
Okay, serious answer. All data on the phone, but not SD card too (on the off chance that something goes wrong, just copy/paste everything on your SD card to your PC, so you can restore)

heh heh
my point being.. I keep the 'backed up' settings and info on the sd? or is it completely blank?
also I need to apply firmware upgrades again?

Don't think it touches software version, but it might. I suggest you backup either with MyBackup (30 day free trial) or TitaniumBackup first.

i have the same issue, everytime i check my task manager i see apps like maps launched even though i never use them, sucks more battery for no reason, i hope froyo sheds some light

Please check one of the many battery/task manager threads. Cached applications don't use anything if they aren't somehow active. Also you could have lots of applications open at startup which must initialize something or cache themselves.
I also have maps and many other launched at startup, and my battery life is more than good.

well its claimed that they dont use any ressources.... but the reality is that something like maps eat 10% of my battery in the course of a day even if i dont use it...
if i regularely kill off unused tasks I have plenty of battery for a whole day including wifi
but if I dont Im down to the wire..
apps like maps, gallery etc. alll runs on bootup, and maps at least restarts every ... minutes..

got a response from HTC:
Dear Mr Jacobsen, Thanks for contacting HTC Support. Regarding your question, the applications will run automatically in the background as you pointed out. And yes, they will affect the longevity of the battery. Phones operating on the android platform or the Windows Mobile platform will need to be recharged on a more regular basis than other mobile phones. “Heavy” users might need to recharge their phone as often as every 24 hours, and this applies to every brand (Nokia, Sony...)out there. That aside, I do share your frustrations regarding the energy applications waste. If you go on to the Marketplace (market) and search for the application task killer, you should find an application enabling you to close down applications you do not need on a regular basis. Yours Sincerely ****** HTC Support
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number *******.
Sincerely,

Task killers, full wipes, uninstallation...
...People could you calm down?
OP, could you check you don't have Latitude enabled in your Maps app? I found this too and it was because I set Maps to report my location. If it's not thats a good start. Now go to your settings and select Location. If you want turn off the use of wireless for location acquiring.
Ensure you're not using any widgets that need mapping data, or the Maps live wallpaper (that's a REAL juice hog)
You'll find a service running called FriendsAppWidget or such. Not sure what it does, but it's the only Map service I know that runs as long as the phone is on. You can kill it if you want, but I'm getting about 16 hrs use with it running all this time and no task killers.
[EDIT]
From some searching is seems quite a few 3rd party apps plug into this service. Foursquare, Buzz, Twitter etc... Also , run maps and turn off any location aware features you may have enabled in the Labs section.
Basically seek out any apps you use that are dependant on getting your location to work. Even your weather widget might be the culprit.

Menu > Add > Shortcuts > Settings > Battery Use. Charge it to full, use it til it's running out of battery, then open Battery Use and tell us if there are any apps that you didn't open once (like maps) that use, say, 10% of your battery.
Sounds to me like they're just background services (which consume 0 resources)

well maps for sure, it seems its the single most powersucking app...
when Im down to orange/red on the battery from full charge its rated at 7-10%

Are you using Foursquare/Facebook/Twitter/geotagging photos & snapping a lot of them/etc? All of those use Maps, to a certain extent. If not, and you're on a stock ROM, call HTC and *****.

I do use geotagging and some facebook, but that ... in my opinion does not excuse maps not quitting after its done what it has to do...

[Q] Phone freezes, looses connectivity

I cannot figure out a way to manage currently running apps more efficiently then the program already installed on the phone under "manage apps"
Basically the phone freezes and randomly drops signal. It is also running extremely slow and laggings even during simple txt messaging.
Any ideas

You need to be more specific, because right now the only thing more vague would be to say 'i have a phone'. But, seriously, we need to know if it's rooted, if so what ROM, any hacks or mods, and even what phone it is. This wouldn't be the first time someone posted in the wrong section.

I can see your point... I am more familiar with the inner workings of automotive forums then this forum.
The phone is a t-mobile my touch 3g slide.
It is using the stock t-mobile program... I hate it, I dont know how to change it
It is not rooted, overclocked or modded in any way.

Ahh, ok. I know of a couple things that could cause the phone to be laggy. One is if you have a lot of text messages, you'll want to delete them. The second would be to clear your cache. Over time, apps that use data, such as the browser, will build up cache. To clear it you go to menu > settings > applications > manage applications > and you'll be brought to a list of your apps. Now just go through and start selecting apps and see if they have any cache and if so clear it. It will look something like the attached image. You'll also free up storage as well. The way you get to it may be a little different as it's been a while since I've messed with stock. Worst case scenario would be to do a factory reset, but I don't think that's necessary and should only be used as a last resort.
Also, I don't know about the random freezing, but the signal loss could be due to the SIM card coming loose or dying. The "locking" SIM card tray sometimes has a tendency to work it's way loose.

[Q] phone downloading 80+ megs every night

About a week ago my phone started downloading 'something', about 80 megs of something, every night. It must happen in the middle of the night, I've never been awake to witness it happen. When I look at my phone in the morning I have no system messages, nothing indicated in download manager, basically no hint that anything had happened. I would not have noticed had I not been checked my data usage with my provider.
3G Watchdog attributes it to "Downloads / Media Storage / DRM Protected Content Storage / Download Manager". I have no idea what is afoot here. I don't remember much changing in the last week except for the Market update that was pushed out. No ROM changes or anything radical like that.
Look for advice how to isolate this and make it stop.
HTC Desire Z running Gingervillain 1.5
Thanks in advance.

There's nothing like a podcatcher that runs at night? Or maybe updates? Hmm...

Not that I am aware of. And I hoped that 3G Watchdog would tell if that was the case (I only installed it last week, to try and sort out this problem.)
I have my market updates set to manual. I'm not subscribed to any media services as far as I know. And this is the same amount of data every night. Is there any possibility I'm received an OTA Android update or something that my phone doesn't know what to do with?
I tried *#*#4636#*#* but could not figure out how to get any bandwidth usage stats out of it, so for now this is all the detail I have.

If you don't have any podcast apps installed and set up to run, or anything obvious like that) you could always mount your media card on your computer and sort by date to see what's new.

Thanks, good idea. I just did a complete search via USB connection (I assume this only checks the SDCARD and not the phone's internal memory?) and I can't find anything new from the last few days. There were no new media files except for a few photos I had taken, and no large system files or anything I couldn't explain.
It definitely doesn't seem like I'm lost 80 megs of storage every day, I probably would have noticed that (maybe.)

Only thing I can think then is to check your sync settings and make sure all the apps you've installed since this has happened are from trusted sources (a few botnets have shown up in Android recently); that and go through your list of installed apps to see if there's anything there that you didn't install (note: there is a rogue app that is listed as 'System' but doesn't have the default Android system icon out there).
Does the app that caught this distinguish (damn, how do you spell that word?) between something actually being downloaded and just general network traffic? Your device may just be hammering the towers for a better signal or something like that.

Actually, there's a means to do this in Spare Parts
Dial *#*#4636#*#* (or launch Spare Parts if you have it installed)
Click Usage Statistics
Click Battery history
Click the Other usage dropdown
Click network usage
Since this is happening at night, you'll need to reboot before bed and then select "since boot" to see what happened overnight.

I just eyeballed all of my applications and I don't see anything I don't recognize. Nothing called System. A few system-ish things where I don't know what they do, but they all have Android icons.
I did have all untrusted applications selected because I installed the Amazon app store a while ago.
The Watchdog app seems to indicate the downloaded data is happening all at once, it's not cumulative data from the day, I can update it real time and see what's happening. Moreover, nothing has changed with my location or phone usage, and I normally would have 1-2 megs of data usage a day tops.
Tonight I will shut of 3G data when I go to bed and I'll see if it generates any kind of warning overnight. Good thing I have a big data plan...

twelvebit, I ran into the same problem you had as my phone was also downloading 80-90 megs data every night for about three days before I noticed it. I also narrowed it down to Download Manager. Another problem I had with it is that it uses a constant data connection at every phone bootup. I had to manually force stop Download Manager at every bootup so that it'll free up the data connection again. I pretty much went through my phone and SD card and there was no new files of any type. I don't use any podcast apps. I also didn't install any new apps before this started. After a couple of days of trouble shooting, I gave up and just did a complete wipe. The phantom data stopped after I reinstalled a new rom and hasn't pop back up since. I was running CM 6.1. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

I just turn my data off at night because for some reason my phone would do the same. I even got rid of my weather widgets because I couldn't figure the problem out. For weird reason android does that mystery downloading.

So I left data off overnight, and as soon as I turned it back on this AM it immediately did performed the phantom 77 meg download. There was no indication on the phone anywhere that it was downloading anything, it's only because I looked a my usage stats that I saw it happened.
Guess my next step is to wipe...?

I flashed to the nightly cyanogenmod this AM, and in doing so I guess I lost my stats. I've never really used spare parts before. It doesn't look like "the" download has been attempted since I reflashed, but that's typical since it happens once per night.
Right now my biggest network using item is called "0", the others are dialer and android system. What is 0? When I try and select it, spare parts crashes.
Is there a way to get hard numbers out of spare parts, or just the graphs? (it's showing blue and pink bars for each.)

Not sure what '0' is.
Spare Parts just gives you the bar graph but I did another search and found 'Stats' and 'Onavo' in the Market, both should help you find the problemed app. Again, Spare Parts should show it if you reboot before bed and then check it in the morning and narrowing it down by "since boot".
EDIT: I take that back, hit the bar graph in Spare Parts and it gives you the actual data.

Guys, I'm having the exact same problem and I am puzzled why it's happening. I came across something from the droid forum:
In brief, to quote the poster:
I found a thread on the Cyanogenmod forums that supports the idea that while my oldish CM kernel was effectively blocking an OTA from installing, it wasn't preventing it from repeatedly downloading and attempting install. There is an app to fake the fingerprint so an OTA is not even downloaded since it appears to have already been applied. Just installed it so no confirmation of the fix yet, but I should know in a day or so. I'd pretty much concluded that the issue was an OTA since it was always coming via 3G even when I was at home with Wifi on. If it had been a misbehaving app, it would have originated on the phone and would have used Wifi. An OTA originates from the carrier so always comes via 3G. IMHO.
Any comment?

It's a little too early to declare victory, but last night was the first night on the new ROM and the phone did not do any inexplicable downloading.
If I learn anything else I will post it here for those others who are suffering the same issue.

Get traffic counter. It'll tell you what's using those megabytes. I used almost 1GB on my phone and it was the friend stream app on HTC Sense & Sensation.

[Q] A few questions regarding Froyo 2.2

I just downloaded Froyo 2.2 on my new TP2 and i LOVE it miles more than the WinMo setup.
Some problems i'm getting,are the physical keyboard layout seems to be different,like i can't use the numbers on the top row and just a few others,I don't care too much about the other things,but i would like the keyboard to be as accurate as possible.
Another problem i have is,i can't get into the phone and edit some files in the Sd card.
In a tutorial it says i can't use a HC sd card but it would be great as it offers 4 gig of space compared to my 1 gig of space on my current card,can i use a hc sd?
Thanks.

First, this is the general section - you should post in the Android section.
Second, no clue what tutorial you're talking about (you didn't provide any links!) - mine doesn't mention anything about high-capacity cards - assuming your phone can read it, you can use it. Up to 32gb is what our phones can read.
For the physical keyboard make sure you're using the correct startup.txt and corresponding physkeyboard setting.

Yeah,i was actually ready to post in there,in the actual sticky that you made but it didn't let me because i didn't have more than 10 posts.
Oops and it was this this tutorial [Ah can't post links neither since i need more than 8 posts lol]But the tutorial said NOT to use an SDHC card.Also the question i asked about not being able to access the SD card's file from a usb connection,should i just remove the card and plug it into my computer if i need to add ringtones on it or access the android files?
Can't say i saw a physkeyboard setting or file as all i did was download your bundle and place the Tilt 2 startup.txt in the SD card's root location.
Thanks for the quick reply and sorry if this was asked tons of times.I tried to click the FAQ on the sticky but it just weirdly kept redirecting me to the sticky thread again.

You're either blind, or... well I won't go there.

Yes i clicked that in the sticky thread several times and it was just acting weird.But it seems to have answered most of my questions,except my physical keyboard is still wonky.I have found the setting you were talking about in the system.txt and it does say physkeyboard=Tilt 2 but i still can't use the row of numbers at the top,and now after a second bootup the on screen keyboard won't show up anymore.

That's not normal. Try a different SD, wipe the current SD with the HP Tool...
Short of that, nothing gets fixed or at least confirmed as to what the issue is without logs. From reboots there's ramconsole and dropbox logs. Dropbox logs are easier to gather, as they're just sitting in /data/system/dropbox. Grab all the SYSTEM_LAST_KMSG files. The ramconsole method is a little more involved, and I won't go into it here.

Make sure you boot with WinMo in airplane mode. No radios should be on in WinMo when you're booting Android..

My phone used to reboot a lot too especially when I'm moving around. I discovered it was a network thing, so each time I'm moving from around town, I disable data connection. I think Android has trouble understanding fluctuation in data connection, so I noted areas with little or no data reception and switch offg data when passing through such area.

[Q] My problems with HTC One V

OK, so the following are the problems I have with my One V (PLEASE SOLVE NO. 1, 4, 6 FIRST!):
1. The Stock Messages App.
The stock Messages app on my One V got slower and slower and now it takes about 1 minute to open a conversation. :crying:
Moreover, if I want to send a message to someone, the contact name never appears when I type his/her name in the recipient text box.:crying:
To send a message, I have to open any conversation which I have in my Inbox and then when it opens up, I have to again go to compose message and then everything works fine. What's the problem?
2. Cannot view vCard Files.
When I open a VCF File, it asks for 'Contact under account'. And when I select one, all the contacts automatically get copied to the selected account. I want to view the contacts in my vCard file before copying them. How to do so?
3. It's Super Laggy
Now it's been a month I've use my One V and it has started lagging. Even updated to the latest Firmware update available in India, but nothing helped.:crying:
4. The Stock People App
The People app on my One V has become slow. I don't even have large number of Contacts (about 50)...:crying:
5. Temple Run
Gets stuck when I play Temple Run.:crying:
6. USB Tethering
First of all, when I connect my phone to my PC, the options for selecting Disk Drive, Charge Only, etc. pop up after 1 min. Earlier they appeared immediately.:crying:
Next, USB Tethering doesn't work every time.:crying: When I select USB Tethering and tap Done, the disk drives (HTC STORAGE and Removable Disk as they were named by default) are unmounted, but my PC does not get connected to the internet. After trying a lot of times (by unplugging the phone from the computer) it works once (I mean works after trying for at least 4-5 minutes).:crying: Why does this happen?

No!
No... I won't root it...

Give the little guy a restart now and then. Also, don't install loads of apps because they will open by themselves and eat memory ram! Install only what you need and delete what it is useless.
Think about it this way: The phone is your home and you are the janitor. You need to clean it up and keep it clean in order to be smooth. Do not put crap inside and leave it there.

I think the software version is the main problem here. 1.xx are damn slow, just as you say (and if I remember correct, there is no 2.xx update at your location ATM but this is not for sure).
If you are on 2.xx then I don't really know, mine works just fine altough it is loaded with contacts/sms/programs really badly . USB tether works fine, SMS is just as HTC dreamed it.
Oh and BTW I haven't ever played temple run, so can't help you about that

in India that is the latest version...root and use some rom to get latest firmware...

OK, so the following are the problems I have with my One V (PLEASE SOLVE NO. 1, 4, 6 FIRST!):
1. The Stock Messages App.
The stock Messages app on my One V got slower and slower and now it takes about 1 minute to open a conversation. :crying:
Moreover, if I want to send a message to someone, the contact name never appears when I type his/her name in the recipient text box.:crying:
To send a message, I have to open any conversation which I have in my Inbox and then when it opens up, I have to again go to compose message and then everything works fine. What's the problem?
2. Cannot view vCard Files.
When I open a VCF File, it asks for 'Contact under account'. And when I select one, all the contacts automatically get copied to the selected account. I want to view the contacts in my vCard file before copying them. How to do so?
3. It's Super Laggy
Now it's been a month I've use my One V and it has started lagging. Even updated to the latest Firmware update available in India, but nothing helped.:crying:
4. The Stock People App
The People app on my One V has become slow. I don't even have large number of Contacts (about 50)...:crying:
5. Temple Run
Gets stuck when I play Temple Run.:crying:
6. USB Tethering
First of all, when I connect my phone to my PC, the options for selecting Disk Drive, Charge Only, etc. pop up after 1 min. Earlier they appeared immediately.:crying:
Next, USB Tethering doesn't work every time.:crying: When I select USB Tethering and tap Done, the disk drives (HTC STORAGE and Removable Disk as they were named by default) are unmounted, but my PC does not get connected to the internet. After trying a lot of times (by unplugging the phone from the computer) it works once (I mean works after trying for at least 4-5 minutes).:crying: Why does this happen?

1. Sounds like the database might be corrupted. Try rebuilding it by going Settings > Apps > All > Messages > Clear data. None of your messages will be removed.
2. You can't see the contents of the vcard file before importing it. Not without third party apps at least.
3 + 4. Your phone might need a factory reset to be honest
5. Yep. Kill all other applications before starting it. ALL other. You might even need to go into settings > Development > Don't keep activities. The One V is simply not powerful enough to run it comfortably.
6. Can be that the USB cable is not working properly. Sounds like it at least. Otherwise it should work I guess, but anything involving HTC Sync is on a "lucky if it works"-kind of basis. Use wi-fi tethering if you can instead as this doesn't need HTC software to run and is therefore much more likely to work without problems.

Donno why but after starting this thread, the lagging problem is gone!! Now it lags rarely!!

That's good to hear. If you can wait for the official 2.08 then the problems will be mostly over, if of course, you don't want to root your phone.

Any clue when will this update come to India?

So, you're on 2.xx na? Can you get me a video in which I can see One V running faster and the Software Number 2.xx?

U're quite dense. If you look at his signature you'll see that he's running a Custom Rom and the most logical explanation for him specifically stating 1.5Ghz is that he's using an overclocked kernel. You really should read a bit about rooting and go for it. Xda has a brilliant bunch of devs working towards better working ROMs for your device. Its not too difficult.....to root I mean.

Cannot really send video, or that it is faster, I can only say, that it is working fluent, and not really thinking of anything.
Software rev in my phone is 2.08.401.2 (europe of course) but I can assure you, that it lagged in 1. IDontKnowWhich version, at least with me.

I neglect looking at everyone's signatures... some are so powerful that they can drive me off to root my phone!

The USB Problem is 50% solved!
My 6th problem (USB Tethering) is gone!:victory: Not completely, but now my PC gets connected to the internet every time when I select USB Tethering on my phone.
However, when I connect the phone to my PC and I select 'USB Tethering' on the 'Choose a connection type' window that automatically pops up, the notifications area says USB Tethering but my PC doesn't get connected to the internet. Even the USB Tethering option in Settings->More->Portable hotspot and tethering is not checked.
Then, when I manually check this USB Tethering option in Settings-> ... Portable hotspot and tethering, my PC gets connected to the internet.
Is there a good app that lets me make a shortcut of the 'Portable hotspot and tethering' area on my home screen?
