Ok, this has been an ongoing longtime frustration of mine with the Android operating system. There are always numerous apps installed on my phone which are running in the background constantly, AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE!! I use Advanced task killer to kill them, but you can sit there and watch them all come back within a minute or two. I want something that will keep these apps from ever starting unless I manually start them myself. Is there anything that will do that?
You could get bloat freezer and freeze them. This effectively acts as though they are uninstalled, except you can unfreeze them at any time in case you need them.
This is in the wrong section, but if you use the "back" button or the app's "exit" button it will properly close the app. Don't use the home button or it'll just put the app in the background.

The problem is not with closing apps. I could restart the phone. Then run task killer and kill all open apps, and 2 minutes later, there would still be 10 or more apps running in the background. I will try this bloat thing.
Your gonna do more damage than help by killing all those tasks. A lot of them are stuff the phone needs to operate properly. And, in general, task killers are just not a good idea for use with Android.

If you wanna get rid of the pre-installed bloatware, thats fine. But don't go killing everything thats running on the phone.
I'm using Task Manager at the moment which lets you kill everything with one button but my problem is with the amount of tasks that keep coming back. For instance I rarely use Skype or Photobucket (although I like having them) but they still end up in the list of running tasks. Is there anything that can stop them from starting at all?
Thanks.
They always advise here not to install any task killer..
But I'm interested too on how to stop those apps like skype, YM, etc. that keeps on running, I get irritated sometimes even I just recently stopped them using settings-app-running services, but still they keep on coming back..

They may appear in the Running Services tab , but they're frozen, they're not taking ressources in that state. Killing them with a task killer causes them to respawn, and if the process is frequent (such as autokilling every 30 minutes) there is a cycle of constant kill-respawn which affects your battery life.
so thhere no way to stop it..kinda annoying
Yes,they do that alot dont they?
well,fear not,you dont need the task manager because its GOOD that your memory is free,it means your APPS will boot QUICKER! This true! it works differnetely than on windows,so you dont need a task killer,i dont use it anymore

You can root and delete them.
Or
You can try Android Assistant which can prevent programs from loading when you turn your phone on. Dont need root.
Either way, you should get android assistant. It is an excellent phone manager.
And oh yea, never use a task killer. When it kills an app, the phone will load it again, then task killer will kill it, then the phone will load it again, then task killer will kill it, etc etc etc in a never ending cycle of processor and battery wastage.
Thanks, I'll try Android Assistant
i second the recomendation for android assistant! everytime i reflash my firmware or whatever, that is one of the first apps i download. i like to compare it to the msconfig utility on windows you can stop things from loading at boot, kill things that are currently running, and so much more
can automatically stop certain programs from auto-starting? I downloaded the wonderful Elixir 2 program and it showed me (and yes, I know that the OS would have showed as well), that apps like Stocks, First Aid, and Trillian were loaded/running even though I had not started these apps since the last reboot.
Is there a way to stop rogue apps from autostarting?
Why do you need to stop them? What makes you think that they shouldn't start?
???
Well, I am not sure WHY they need to start, but I am sure that they take up memory. "First Aid" is certainly an app that can start up when needed, no need to run in the background. Same for the others.
That said, the original question remains. Anyone know of an app that can adjust the autostart of apps that have no business starting automatically?
Haven't tried it but may be worth a look:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/autorun-manager/com.rs.autorun
Interesting
First - Thank you for responding to the question! I have downloaded and run the app. It certainly professes to do what I was asking. Stopped some apps from loading, but others seem to be more persistent (does Titanium Backup need to run on boot? MyBackupPro? Don't think so). Thank you!
Read the hundreds of posts on task killers. Unless you are having a problem with a particular app, it is best left alone. If the memory being used for the app in question is "needed", android will kill it on its own.
Deleted because I realized I do not need to stoop to respond to nonhelpful posts (but really, people. when is "read random amorphous posts which are not on topic" a response).
only came across 2 apps that run constantly in background vs cached like their supposed to. Fbook and okcupid. autostart managers sorta work but they break functions
In a perfect world, every app on your device would start at boot and reside in RAM. I've never understood this idea that killing apps somehow conserves resources or saves power, because it does neither. In fact, it does the OPPOSITE. For instance, Trillian: Do you REALLY want to kill it whenever you're not using it, only to reopen it the next time you want to use it? That eats about 4 times more power than just leaving it running. NOTHING your cpu does eats more power than reading and writing to NAND. RAM should be as full as possible all of the time with as many apps as are recently or likely to be used. RAM operations consume FAR less power than NAND operations. Unless the app is simply an abusive piece of crap, like Amazon's market and music apps, there's usually a reason for them to run. Titanium Backup never starts unless it's got a reason to, in my experience, such as scheduled auto-backup operations. The better question to ask is why apps are starting at boot, not "Where can I get one more resource-hogging app to whip bad behavior into shape?"

I agree with this 100%.
Yes But
Yes - I get all that, but it bugs the heck out of me that some of these apps feel the need to auto run and worse still, are classified as "self restarter" by the recommended app.
On a cold power-up (I charge with the power off), and without running any apps (in response to the Titanium reference above), the following apps not only started, but restarted when stopped: Appstore, Ebay, Elixir, Mortplayer Audio Book, MyBackup Pro, ROM Manager, Stocks, Titanium Backup, Trillian, Wordsmith, and XDA. Mind you, I am not including apps that SHOULD start up (swype, timeriffic, lookout, etc).
Why any of those apps start on power-on is beyond me, and why almost all of them are set by their respective authors to restart if they are shut down, is even more perplexing. Hence my desire to try to reign them in, especially since they are taking 20MB each of RAM. That's the story

Got me on a few of those, but other ones make all kinds of sense. Any app store sort of app is going to start to authenticate with the service. Amazon is known to do this abusively. The same would probably apply with audio books. MyBackup Pro is probably assuming there's a scheduled function to perform. Stocks is just part of Sense and it doesn't go away. TiBU has never started on any device I've had it on unless 1 of 2 things was the case; I ran the widget or had something scheduled. Trillian SHOULD start up because it's a chat client. If it's not running, it's not much good as a chat client. Not sure what Wordsmith is. XDA will start because it's set by default to sync on a regular basis if you're signed into it.
I don't know what to tell you. You're probably never going to find a way of permanently killing an app connected to a market, and if you do, whatever you use from that market probably won't work right. The best I can say is figure out why those apps you listed do what they do. There's probably a reason that can be fixed or better understood. Some, like Trillian, will self-start no matter what because failure to do so is a MUCH more aggravating issue than the app starting with nothing to do.
only 2 I have that aggravate me is Fbook and okcupid. understandable if both run and autostart for push capabilities but I've disabled sync and push and still runs in background vs cached in background like it's supposed to

True however some of the apps that are residing in RAM, pop up and do updates and checks that do eat data and cpu than if they were killed. Most apps don't do this and typically it's bad to kill apps because the act of killing it uses CPU and especially the act of that app starting back up uses more CPU.
----
RAM is not an issue so don't even consider it one, even if your RAM is full it doesn't matter. This doesn't run like Windows does where things slow down if you don't have enough RAM.
Most apps that use resources in the background I uninstall, but for others (I think I only do this to 1 app) you can use "autostarts" to disable them from starting upon launch, or stopping them from starting upon other events that may trigger an app to automatically start
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en
It has much more control over when apps automatically launch than the other app I saw posted on the main page- also it doesn't kill them, just prevents them from starting so it's not like an app killer.
Hope this was what you were looking for.
Let it be
Just let the programs start to let the phone fully awaken
Then kill the apps with any klling apps app task killers and so on

I read that this is a bad habit carried over from pre-froyo days where memory management was different and this was recommended then. I don't have a link but trust me and don't just kill stuff like that.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I recently installed two apps from the App Store both by Disney. I noticed on the Settings/Battery screen that both apps are using 21% battery when playing and 10% when not playing. When I tried to Force Stop I noticed that both kept using about 10% percent battery power. I thought that the Force Stop actually stopped the app from using the phones resources. I even tried using Advanced Task Killer which also failed to completely stop the app from consuming the system resources. The only sure why to stop them was to uninstall them, which sucks because they were fun games to play.
My question is what's the point of Force Stop if it doesn't actually stop the app and how do you stop an app from running without uninstalling?
The force stop is just like an end task in Windows.. it just kills the current task.. it does not mean stop it forever. If the app is called again it will start up again...
Now there are apps that are automatically called if the are stooped, mainly service type tasks, but there are some bad / misbehaving apps out there for sure.
This type of behavior is why taskkillers can actually cost you more battery usage, because the app is always having to start-up again and why with the current revision of Android - Gingerbread on up it is not recommend to use them.. the kernel is best at managing resources.
The main question is why is the Disney app running all them time? I'd bet it has some suspicious permission and is phoning home quite often... I wouldn't run it at all with that kind of behavior..
After you force stop those apps, are you resetting the battery list by charging to full again? Cause those percentages will still appear in the usage list even after you stopped them because that data was already collected. You'd have to start the tracking over at that point.

Thanks for the reply, how do I start the tracking over? I have the phone at 100% charge and it's still there but instead of taking 10% now it shows 2%. I tried several times to restart the count and every time the game app comes back showing that it's using battery.
I've attached three screen shots so you can see what I'm talking about. The three screens shots are of Disneys app Temple Run: Brave. The first is just after I closed the game app, the second is after I Force Stopped the game app and the third is after charging my phone 100%, disconnecting the charger and resetting the battery status. The app starts up again and uses about 2% which I can't stop it unless I uninstall the app. It does go away if I reboot the phone itself but who wants to restart there phone just to close an app?
I also have installed another Disney game app Where's my Perry and is similar except when I restart the battery app it doesn't start up again until I play the game app.

Hmmm well you're pretty much doing exactly what I suggested. I don't know what that app could be doing. I'd need to see a system panel screen shot of maybe an hour or 2 collection of data monitoring to get a better idea. It must be running a service. If you go to settings, apps, running apps, does it appear there? And even after you force stop it? That list only shows running services, not activities. Does it show up there?

I'm not sure what's going on with the app. I've attached two more screen shots. To answer you questions No it doesn't appear to be running on the Running apps page and yes it was showing that it was Force Stopped.
Is there a way that I can collect data to see what the app is doing? Does my phone have to be rooted, bootloader unlocked, etc?
Oh by the way you've been Thanked. :good:
Anyone know how I might go about diagnosing why my phone has been running much warmer than usual? Just browsing Facebook (posts, not video) for about 5 minutes with brightness around 25% the temp was up to 41 degrees. It happened earlier today when I was just using Chrome, and it happens most days now. The issue began when I updated to 11.2.8.8 (the very next day), and the phone overheated several times the first few days, evidenced by the system warning about temperature, then recovering several minutes later. I haven't seen the system warning since then, but it's frequently above 40 degrees just doing everyday tasks. Oddly, I haven't noticed it overheating when playing games.
I usually run Omega kernel, which has always run cooler than stock during both normal use and heavy gaming, but this issue has occurred with both stock and Omega, so it's not kernel-related. The only magisk modules I have installed are debloater (for YouTube only), font manager, and systemless hosts, so that's not it either.
Maybe some app going haywire (how to find it? Nothing in battery usage) or some system behavior that changed in 11.2.8.8? Anyone else have this issue or find what's causing it?
That's just how this phone is. It was worse when the phone released before all of the updates. They've been slowly trying to fix it with each update. The 888 is a hot *****.

I remember having that complaint when I first got it, especially when gaming, but it's been fine for me since like April, until this last update. And with Omega several degrees cooler. So there has to be something new causing it....

Latest version of Omega (8/7) since yesterday, but was having the same issue on the previous build (7/30). I'm on OOS 11.2.8.8 BA.
I haven't noticed any apps using more battery than expected, but I guess that might be part of my question... If there are any, what's the best way to find them? I'm not seeing any useful info in BBS or anything in GSam I wouldn't expect, except overall battery drain is a bit higher when it's been running hot. I do have a lot of apps installed and should probably clean up what I don't use, so I guess that's a place to start.
Find which apks are using the battery.
Google system apks are prime suspects.
Trash apps like FB, WhatsApp, LinkedIn... none of that junkware runs on my device, ever.
Examine all startup apks closely, take out the trash.
Power management can end up causing excessive battery usage, try turning it off.
Track down each battery hog and deal with it on a case by case basis rather than the flip a switch shotgun approach.
I use Karma Firewall's logging feature to help track down offenders.
Dependencies... sometimes the source of the high usage is hidden. What apks and services are running? What apks are using what services and why? What's apks are getting cached first when you clear them all? Any memory leaks?
Play with it... Androids wuv attention

Good ideas. I just installed Karma Firewall and will see if it turns up anything.
How do you manage startup apps and running services? I used to use Servicely, but with Android 11 I find that even when I disable apps at startup they still start on their own, and it seems to use more battery than it saves. I've since disabled all apps of that kind and just let Android manage things itself. The only thing I do is go to individual apps and turn on battery optimization and disable background data if not needed, and I keep apps I don't use often in Icebox, including Facebook, which is the only social media type app I have. (Uninstalling FB isn't an option unfortunately.)
What do you mean by "which apps are getting cached first when you clear them all?" and how might I find it there are memory leaks?

Karma's logging feature doesn't work in 10 and above I believe, I run Pie. See what you got though. It will still block apk internet access though and uses almost no battery.
The battery optimization option can cause erratic behavior and I never use it. Close apps when done with them. Brave browser for instance will run in the background until closed.
Developer options>running services memory leaks show up as an apk who's memory usage just keeps increasing with time. It can get quit large. These are rare and poorly coded programs. More common on Windows.
Keep an eye though for memory hungry apps as they may be using excessive power but not always. Small memory users can be worse. Dependencies, sometimes a apk or service keeps making repeated requests because of a disabled apk or service.
Killing Goggle play Services and Playstore when not needed will help battery life.
Google backup Transport, Framework and Firebase are always disabled on my device.
All carrier, manufacturer, and Google feedback are disabled.
I have a Samsung device and I use its Device Care app to clear the cached apks. Then watch as they repopulate. You'll need an app that does this. In running services you can disable a suspect apk and see how long it takes to come back. I find that Device Care is more effective though and that ability has let me track down some misbehaving system apks saving me a reload.
FB is weaponized and a proven liability. Known data miner. Purveyor of disinformation and dissent. It has ruined countless lives and careers. It deliberately makes you have load the app to be able to send messages. If this last year hasn't taught you what you need to know...
I used it for one month 15 years ago and knew what it was back then. It's far worse today.
Don't feed the beast.

Thanks for the info, it's interesting. However, if you're running Pie & not even using a OnePlus device, none of this is going to be applicable to my issue which is specific to OOS 11.2.8.8 on this particular device, only present since last month's update.
Re: FB - I'm required to use it for my job (well, second job), and I need it on my mobile device in order to do that job, so it's not going away. Freezing it when not in use is the best I can do.

You cross platform OS version and manufacturer to find solutions. I have a lot of posts here but few asking for help because I do the above or just keeps at it until I work it out as it's my issue.
*shakes head*
You've painted yourself into a corner.
@terlynn4 I use BatteryGuru because it uses root to find rogue apps that are draining battery unnecessarily. Give it a go and see if that helps pinpoint the problem at all.
