How To Close Individual Prior Apps? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can see the previousIy opened ones in tab style and cannot seem to find a way to individually close one. The X at the top of the screen closes all the apps. Is there a way to do it?
Thank much!

End All Task Accept....

I'm always in the habit of going into the task manager and ending all tasks accept 2. Is there a way I can script this so that I can end all tasks accept these 2?
Thanks guys,

You can use CeleTask and hover over the task you want to keep open and press Menu\Action\Close Others

there is an app that will close apps in the background after a certain period of time. Go on www.smartphone-freeware.com,unfortunatelly I cannot remember the name of the app,but I know i have seen it there a couple days ago.Dont know if it is exactly what u are looking for but it worths a try,right?
Found it:http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-appcloser-v0-1.html
Thanks
Perfect tomiglio, thank you. I installed the appcloser and so far it works for my needs.
FYI, for others who might want to try this app I couldn't get it to work until I rebooted.
mikey did a little write up a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380473&highlight=appcloser
After trying this app for several days, it doesn't really work. It seems like it worked at first, but does not seem to work any more. Any other suggestion? Perhaps a script running against CeleTask that does the same thing? Is this possible?

It's a good suggestion, but there are 2 programs that I want to leave open and this solution would close one of them.

Don't normally answer myself going to blaim it on 7" screen
If you open up CeleTask and hover over the ones u want to keep running and pess Menu\Action\Exclude so you have done this for both now they will not show up in CeleTask Tasks.
If you want to show them again Menu\Options\Show Exclude if you also want to say add them back as they were before you just press exclude on them again and they will show in the list.
Hope this helps.

I was hoping for a 1 button solution, but this comes in a close second.
Thanks stylez.

hi DanDroidian. HiddeEye functions as device admin to monitor screen unlocks. you must first deactivate it before you get to uninstall it. no need to worry.. thats how device admin apps work..

Fair enough.
Ifirst went to "manage apps" and it was NOWHERE to be found.
I finally deleted it with Titanium Backup.
When I went back to the Market, it gave me that screen shot and neither option worked at that point.
I guess it's uninstalled though.
Thx.

It works though. It would be nice if you could ENLARGE the picture though. The pics are small.

Thanks DanDroidian. Glad it worked for you now. Intentionally the images are kept small to conserve storage & memory. I can take a stab at this in a future release. Appreciate if you can revise the feedback and rating on google play...

Any chance you can change it to take a photo on unlock without a pin/pattern?

I can do that... But whats the point.. It will always take pictures when you unlock it.. So everytime you unlock the screen, it will picture you
Works well. Congratulations.:good:

I'm just interested in enabling it when I leave the phone lying around the house/on the bar/on my desk in work/etc to see if anyone's accessing it. I don't want to pin/pattern lock it as my kids play games on there, and it will draw suspicion if my phone is suddenly pin/pattern locked.
nice! this is a VERY interesting app :good::good:

Cool idea. I will try it out for a day or two and then leave feedback. So far from my quick testing of entering a bad pin it took my pic. Interesting...

Nice app...
Syncs the feeds properly...
didn't quite like the list view, and on click which displays only a preview and on second click the article is marked as read....need to check settings to change this behavior....to display previw in list view and open article on click.
need to get used to the bottom icons in the list view... they look all too similar....

Hi, click shouldn't mark items as read. Items are marked read on image button click only (the top rightmost one in item's expanded view).
I agree about action bar icons, will try to think of something new
Thank you for your suggestions!

Need help with screen shot editing(SOLVED, I'm an idiot)

From the time I've got the note 8, I've always been able to just take a screenshot and right after that it'd open my screenshot and i'd be able to edit it straight away (drawing on it etc.). However, for the past few hours now, that doesn't work anymore, initially it stopped opening the screenshots straight away but, it would show up in the notification panel and I'd click on it and be able to edit it like before. But now even that doesn't work it shows up in the notification panel and I click on it and it give different apps to open it with (paper artist etc.). Any suggestions? I haven't installed or uninstalled anything recently, I'm running the stock rom. I haven't touched anything to be honest but, it changed all of a sudden. Am planning of doing a factory reset, but I'd rather not. I'll be really grateful for any help.
edit:-ok, if I click edit it only opens with paper artist
I just a factory reset, but even that didn't help. Any ideas? Anyone please help, I'm desperate

How are you taking the screenshot? There are at least 3 ways to do it.

Hmm i had never thought of that, I had been taking the screenshots using the swipe screen method. I just tried using the s-pen and it worked like before. I used to take the screen shots like that before(s-pen) and only recently started using the swipe screen method. My memory tells me I edited the screen shots the same way using the two methods, but I'm pretty sure my memory's wrong. Thank you so much,this had me bugging out.
Just wondering, when you take a screen shot using the swipe screen method on your phone, does it let you edit like it does normally(using the s-pen) or does is bring up the choose app thing?
Anyway thanks non the less, much appriciated.

It just gives me the option to choose an app to edit with. Does not give me the immediate edit option like when using the S-Pen.

One s pen screen shot is immediately editable. . Same as on note 2
