I have couple of programs (Messaging and Comm Manager) affected by this. I use the Messaging app to check my ISP email. It connects via HSDPA and downloads the messages correctly. I then close Messaging by tapping and holding the X button (according to my setting in Task Manager). I check in Task Manager and the Messaging app is not displayed as running. I also close the HSDPA connection and Comm Manager and again check in Task Manager that Comm Manager is not running.
Some time I check in Running Programs under Settings/Memory and find that Messaging and Comm Manager are running. I stop apps from Running Programs. Any ideas why this happens, and anyone else experiencing this issue? This occurs both if the Task Manager setting for closing apps is set to 'Tap' and 'Tap and Hold'.
You do want the messaging app to be running all the time... so it can receive texts emails etc in the background.

Thanks. That makes sense. I posted a related message in another thread about my HSDPA connection being opened when nothing is running. From your reply I see that this happens because the messaging app is always running even if not displayed as a running app. That is why Task Manager never lists it.
Does this apply also to the Comm Manager?
Even if Messaging doesn't show all the time, it's there running. It'll only hit the task manager if you've opened it manually, then minimized it. Even if it's not visible, you'll still be checking your e-mail.
Comm Manager is a different beast. It's not required to manage communications, it's provided so that you can quickly manage what's on and off for communicaitons.

quick question.
how do you go about removing apps from auto-starting on a reboot??
things such as facebook app, voice dialer, messaging (i use handcent, do i still need to have messaging installed) and such.
also what are the "my uploads" and "pico tts" apps for?? ive just noticed them since i upgraded to cm 4.2.11.1. they seem to be always running, and if i kill them they just re-open.
thnks

tts = text to speech, needed for among other things voice nav.
Yes, you can delete the messaging app, search for commands or use a file browser to delete it if you don't already know.
You should read up on how android manages memory. It kills old processes and keeps others for quicker access. I don't notice a slowdown until ram dips below the 12mb - 10mb range.
Or you could get advanced task manager and set it to kill apps on start and every 30 min thereafter.
Good luck
A few days ago my N1 received the update to froyo . A difference from the android 2.1 update 1 is that from task manager ( installed from market) I can't kill anymore the sipdroid process as I was doing before update. Now it is restarting automaticaly after a second. I want to kill the sipdroid process because I do not need all the time the VoIP client and if is alive all the time it is checking all the time the conection with the server and is consuming batteries .Before the update the sipdroid was restarted automatically by dialing a + ended number
Yep, that's new in Froyo - you can't seem to kill network-aware services. This caused my to uninstall Y5 (which I love) because I couldn't force WiFi off when I needed to do so.
Froyo does have it's own very limited daemon-killer, though:
Go into Settings -> Applications -> Running services and you can sometimes kill the unkillable.
tried to do so but sipdroid is still restarting.

Yeah, I had that same problem with Y5. You might just have to wait until the sipdroid app is updated to work properly with FroYo.
I had the same problem. Its anoying! Fring sometimes does the same too and disconnects me from my desktop MSN.
Ahh - this might be why all the task managers have been failing me?
just go to the menu in sip droid or fring and choose exit, it won't try to restart, or use the ' running' tab under manage applications and force stop from there
I don't really know the problem. When I don't want sipdroid, I just turn it off. Never had to use a task manager for it.
before froyo even the sipdroid was killed if I dial a "+" ended number was restarted . If I close sipdroid by exit menu this calling is not working anymore. I have to understand more about the process management in froyo.
I am on CM7 on my Milestone and have the SMS/launcher apps locked in memory (although I uninstalled the stock sms to just use handcent) and I am sick of missing messages to the point I have got in trouble because of missing messages.
What else can I do to stop this problem?
Just today I tried texting myself a number (quick way to get info to the phone and never even got the message.
I have been in the application settings and watched it randomly restart which I believe would miss any messages at that time. Since I heard before when either the SMS app or Laucher is loading that any messages will be lost.
Try using the default messaging apk inside CM7 Milestone. As Handcent uses much more RAM compared to the default one. Also, try minimizing widgets on your homescreen, and other apps that constantly run in the background (i.e. antivirus, CPU/RAM/system monitors, social networking apps, etc.)
I will think about trying the stock again but I remember it as being pretty basic.
I have no widgets at all and Facebook sync turned off only other app I know that runs in the background is my voice caller id, which I can't live without.
So I have the note 5 for few months now and after all this time I haven't found a solution.
Basically I use the app called livescore and few other football/soccer apps that notify my when I select certain matches for goals to show up like notifications.
The settings in the app its self is fine, notifications are on, the settings in app manager are also fine.
I haven't found anywhere settings for notifications to show up or not when not on wifi. Do those settings exist? If they don't then what the problem might be?
Its really frustrating as the same thing doesn't happen with whatsapp which works fine with notifications over LTE/4G but when it comes to other apps it just wont work.
ALSO my samsung default email app wont show up new emails unless I am on wifi or unless while on LTE/4G I go inside the app and refresh it.

Hey,
This also randomly just happened to me. The way I fixed it is by going into settings --> Applications --> Application Manager --> MORE --> Reset App Preferences. Notifications all came in after i did that and haven't had a problem since. Let me know if it works!
I have a doubt and it is the following: when I close a mobile application, it closes completely. I do not want this to happen, 2 examples of applications that I do not want to close is Whastapp, after I close this application I no longer receive the messages and I have to reopen the application, and the alarm when I close it, it is not Run in the background. Are there any settings to run in the background?

Long press WhatsApp icon and choose app info,go to power saver and maybe change to allow running in background.
I have it at smart restriction and I do think it works mostly but Maybe allowing it to run in background always will help but could also affect battery
