can i stop all running apps at once ?
Be more specific. For what, why, and how
I believe that going to the app switcher (square button) then hitting Clear All will close everything.
no ..
even when i close the, they still running i think .. i want to stop them all .. form the app manager

Why exactly? No good can come from doing this.
You can go to developer options and set the process limit lower.

What you're asking to do is pointless and counterproductive. Android manages memory for maximum efficiency already

In theory. Don't forget this is 5.1.0
Closing all in recent tasks will close programs that are not set to always run in the background. Force quitting all apps is pretty pointless though, and if not regularly like a task manager will hurt battery life as the apps fire back up again.
Your best bet is to use Greenify, add all the apps you want quit, and use a custom action like double tap to hibernate and then shut the screen off. This will force quit all applications you select.

Wondering how some people set up the auto killer. I want my phone to kill all un necessary running apps when my phone is sleeping.
I guess what I want to do is have the least amount of programs running when my phone is sleeping
Honestly how Android handles its processes there is no need for a third party manager.

I rarely kill any processes unless things get out of hand or don't close properly. I can leave my phone with the screen of for +30 minutes sometimes and not even lose 1% of battery.
I've tried using and not using a task killer and can say i havn't seen much a difference, probably an edge to NOT using since its one more thing to worry about.
Does anyone know why Tele Nav keeps running? I checked my "Running Apps" and noticed it is always running. I have tried to stop the app from running but it restarts immediately.
Thanks for your help

TeleNav is a big pain and just does that. One of the reasons that I rooted my Evo was to ditch it. I used it all the time on my Touch Pro 2 but once I used Google Nav on Android I had no use for Telenav anymore.
A while back I read something that it does that, but the simple fix is to launch it and let it connect to internet to check/update it's self

Do you think its eating up your system resources and battery. If so get an app like Autostarts and kill it on boot up

i personally love telenav. much better than google nav. i dont know i just like it better. one thing that i am so confused about tho, its when you put an address in, it gives you different routes in different colors...could someone explain this to me? for the most part i always choose fastest, avoid tolls and hov.
ive seen people saying about deep sleep how do you do it? sorry for a noob question.
It's automatic. When you lock the screen it should go into deep sleep. Download cpu spy to check cpu states
so basically to save you battery . should i use JD?

No need to use Jack Daniels to put your phone into deep sleep. (I dunno what you mean by use JD lol)
Most ROMS, including 100% unrooted stock will use deep sleep.
^^^^^^^ - Bahahaha!
I read the Thread title and started laffing immediately.
========================
Just smash your phone against a wall to make it go into eternal deep sleep, mate.
========================
I believe the chap means 'Juice Defender.' Make sure you don't have apps keeping your phone awake, too.

Right, deep sleep is a battery saving state when phone is not in use. JD makes a smartphone dumb by disabling the radios. It generally uses more battery than it saves. I don't use, nor recommend JD(Have tried it though, and quickly realized it ruins a smartphone and makes no difference in life). However, some people still seem to think it's some great gift from God, but they are mistaken. A simple script to UV and UC/OC can take care of all your battery saving needs. Or if you can't manage to run a script use system tuner to do these things.
If you are planning on running an ICS rom you cannot not UV or OC until kernel source is released, though. You can UC it
Turn the power off lol
Nah I usually close all apps and cached ones as well. No oc UV apps either

Is there a special way to close those apps??
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda
Like this:
Settings > Applications > Running Services.
Press Menu, and select Show cached processes (you don't have a choice, really).
Now select whichever processes you want and stop them.
Say, M&S, is it ok to stop ALL of those cached processes?

Put the application monitor widget somewhere on your home screen, open it up, and exit all apps.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
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.

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.
I have a stock s3 every time I go to kill tasks it shows 49 apps were killed... why is there so much stuff running in background is there a way to stop this without rooting this phone?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
There should be no need. Itws better imo to kill the ones that show up in running that use aldt of ram.
Without rooting? Yes.
Setting, application manager, all, then you can click on certain ones and click disable.

Before you start killing random apps you need to know what they are and why they are running. There are a couple of programs in the play store that tell you if the a problem battery wise. I do not recommend an app killer because all the programs restart eating more battery life each time the restart. Most of them are supposed to be running.
Should stop using task killers, that'll make it worse.
