Xheck your RAM and check for settings in any task killer/launcher/apps you may be using including pandora if it has a option to close when RAM gets close to none available it will close out the biggest strain...
When did you get your ET4G TODAY?
also make sure you have the newest version of pandora ;p

Yep, I've got no task killer (other than the preinstalled one). Just got the phone today and I got the latest pandora. Maybe once I root it, it'llsolve the problem itself.

[Q] ICS Task Manager/Clear Memory exception list?

Hey guys, is it possible to create an exception list for the ICS Task Manager. My problem is that whenever I "clear memory" it will close my Widget Locker and I have to go in and restart it. As much as I clear memory in a day thats alot of restarting. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I don't need recommendations for other task managers, I would like to keep it native.

You shouldn't be frequently clearing memory as is. Android isn't like a Windows Mobile phone. You're supposed to use the task manager in the event of a misbehaving app and thats pretty much it.

So it isn't necessarily a bad thing if the memory bar is full?

I never clear memory. Just use task manager to close open apps. My battery life is great and phone runs like a charm. Just my 2cents

Hold home and swipe the apps you're not using to the left or right.

No its not. Those apps are just being stored in cache. They aren't actively using battery (unless its a poorly programmed app). Android should automatically remove the ones that are idle on its own, though. Just let Android do its thing.
If you're really worried about runaway apps, use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnpvbXV0LndhdGNoZG9nbGl0ZSJd
Its a different kind of task manager. All it does is monitor what apps are using the most CPU. ONLY kill the stuff it alerts you that are using crazy high CPU processing.

(Q) Lookin to get a task killer any suggestions?

yes, i have one, don't waste your time with them. let your RAM disk do clean up for you. your phone is fast enough that you should need a task killer. task killers are soooo two years ago
but in all seriousness, you don't need one bud. just use your device it will be fine without one :good:

Well when I used to have on it would say it killed 35 apps or so everytime I pressed it. I should just do nothing?
My ultimate goal was to cut down on battery usage by not letting them run???

you'll be alright without it man, trust me. i haven't used a task killer since i had my samsung moment and never needed one. battery life is great on this thing, and performance with be there.

Leave it alone. Search on Google you'll find detailed reasons why task killers are useless, even harmful if not used with caution. Android is smart enough to do it on its own.

Like everyone else says. Task killer is no no ^-^
But what I actually love and use, is startup manager. It allows you to choose which programs run at boot. You just have to be rooted. It cut my boot time in half and saves a lot of resources by not having random things running that you don't need. And I don't notice a difference in the time it takes to open those disabled programs either.

Yeah.... Don't get one. And tell all your friends that probably told you to get one to Uninstall theirs.

Kinda hijacked and off topic but what about CACHE cleaners? or something to remove web/apps cache, recommendations?

Those are good. its like "rebooting" but without rebooting. Pick whichever gets good reviews.

Cache cleaner NG is the best one. Just don't use the "old cleaning method" because it will hang on you. I also like this app because you can set time intervals on the clean up process. I always have mine run late at night when I'm sleeping. Just wake up with a notification to clear with details on how much it cleaned up
And IMO disabling apps is a waste of time. I prefer just going in and deleting them manually and wiping dalvik cache because it frees up storage space in your system and data directory. Just a cleaner way to do it I think. But either way works.

Thanks for the app cobraboy85! And if you are talking about disabling apps via the startup manager, it actually does help. I do delete apps i dont use. But for things i do use but dont want running (ie Spare phone, youtube, google voice, tapatalk) i remove from being started at boot and then they dont run until i run them and i always completely exit them when done.

Phone is SUPER SLOW

My wife's phone just got super slow like 2 days ago...it just takes a long time for apps to load...to download ANYTHING...and I mean slow...I cleaned her phone...I used sd maid pro...and went through her internal storage and she now has 8 out of 12 gigs free...so what could be causing this...?...I tried switching Roms and it still acts the same...any help would be great...Thanks in advance...
P.s...she does download ALOT themes...wallpaper...and music...BUT like I said I cleaned her phone moved a lot to her sd card...

Download an app called Elixir 2. Open it up and touch on "running" and keep on tapping on the right arrow until it says "top" in the middle. You'll then see which app(s) are taking up the most CPU. If its com.sec.providers.downloads, that's the same reason I stopped using Touchwiz roms and switched over to CM. That problem crops up for me randomly and I've tried many different methods to fix it to no permanent avail.

She not on touchwiz...she's on cm10
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Still try the method though. Could be a rogue app that needs to be manually closed. I discovered that the current version of the engadget app gives me that problem, sometimes facebook too.

Is it possible it was accidentally put on powersave Governor? Also clear the dalvik and cache from recovery. If that don't work your best off just wiping. Sheer could either have too many apps or rogue app using up to much of the cpu

Have you tried odining back to stock, performing a factory reset, then reflashing CM10?

O.k...and she told me she went into the file explorer and under android she went onto cache and deleted all of
The files... Would that make it slow...they were only cache files... But under android-data-cache...????

Power saver cuts down the CPU speed and does other things that I don't remember. With my s3, it would take hours after turning on power save for me to see the phone get slow

Theres more roms my friend!! the closest one(s) that are similar to cm10 are PAC-MAN PA-KA-DR they are similar.. it has cm10 parts as well as the other roms youll find on the original dev section and if you ever decide to pay attention to what im telling you... download an app called FAST REBOOT its really simple(not rocket science) and it frees up ram memory that apps are using on background.. its not a task killer....

No apps no cached processes no ram. Can't even start keyboard

So the title says it all. After ~1h of use my one x runs out of ram while not using it for cache or apps. I realize that unused ram is wasted ram but what is happening to me is definitely not normal. After a while after reboot all apps immediately closes after use, app drawer including. I can barely start keyboard. And settings shows that there is no cached processes which is unusual. I'm using icj 3.8. Any advice would be appreciated

Tried a different ROM or kernel? Perhaps Sense as opposed to AOSP?
That's definitely not normal.

No, but before this the rom worked well. I want to keep changing the rom or cleanly reinstalling it as the last resort option, because it is the most time consuming.

Then it's likely down to a specific app with a memory leak.
Start working backwards and uninstall apps one at a time until it goes away again.

Wouldn't that show in settings running apps and services? I tried stopping all and using task killer but that didn't help

Not necessarily.
You can shut down the app itself and remove it from the list, but it's possible the leakage is remaining memory resident.

Thanks didn't think it was possible
