[Q] Problem with all apps connected to the internet.

I been using Advanced Task Manager 4.1 before I updated to froyo and it killed all my unwanted apps very well. All the roms I tryed on 2.2 do this: they leave the apps connected to the internet open. It just wastes my battery. I tryed a bunch of other task killers and none of them work, the apps still stay open. I need to kill the apps untill the next time I open them. Anyone know a way to do that on 2.2 or what my prolem is?

Might want to state what your problem is or ask a question

I edited my post, any way you or someone else can help

For one thing you might want to download DroidWall and disable internet access to all unwanted apps. It is like Firewall for your android.
Also try Taskiller. I m using it and it kills apps and never let them start until screen turns on again.

See thats the thing, I want them to be off untill I turn them on myself. I think I'll re-download DroidWall (I have known about it) and all task killers do the same thing I guess, which is kill the apps untill the next time you turn on your screen =/

Could you give us an example of these apps that are "staying connected" and some indication of what you're testing to know that they are staying connected?

Apps like: Bloo (Facebook), Hi IM, Android Market, Weather Bug, & others that dont use internet like Astrid Tasks, Startup Cleaner Pro, Titanium Backup, TeslaLED & toggle apps.
I just want them closed when I kill them. Right now I have a shortcut to managing apps so I click on the running tab and manually force close them but thats a pain.
INDICATION: killing weather bug and the notification with the temperature stays.
After killing the apps I have listed they pop up again in the task manager 30 seconds later.

[q] how to stop googl apps from reloading to memory???

Hi.
Im using android mate and I see that I have 12 apps running on startup – google maps, Navigator, Locations and that other app which sends your location to other.
All are google apps.
I have this autostart killer app but these apps are still running and I'm sure they consume battery power and eat up some RAM.
Someone has an idea?
P.S. – I don't want to uninstall them.

[Q] Opinion: Task Manager or No Task Manager?

Hey Folks,
Just wanted to hear some opinions on whether having a task manger is worth it. I've heard from both sides of the camp, stating newer versions of android can handle the load fine, and that more and more apps are running unnecessary background services.
I just did a clean wipe and reload of CM7 and I'm wondering whether I want my advanced task manager anymore.
Thoughts?

For me, I prefer no task killer. If I must close apps I go into running services and stop them that way. Usually they stop without me doing that.

I don't use one, not needed.

i never ever felt the need of having a task killer on my Inc S
the apps close by themselves when not in use.

v6 supercharger
just use v6 supercharger it is better than all the taskillers you may find.

I don't use one. I'm running CM7 and as Saenzscene said, I stop programs in the running services menu. However I never really had the need to do it as RAM was never a problem.
But I have noticed while running certain programs that if you press the "home" button, the program may keep running in the background afterwards. Whereas if you press the "back" button it will close the program's running service. Can anyone confirm this?

Never had the need for a TaskManager with CM7 or ARHD.

if you're using a task manager or task killer since froyo, urdoinitwrong

I'm using advanced task killer simply to kill anything that may not be shut down even tho I mean to.
As someone said above, it's possible that some alps stay open and keep your phone awake. I have a large ignore list which I use to ensure nothing important gets closed down, only the rogue apps, now my phone never stays awake when it shouldn't.

Yes, some apps like to run as a service process if you quit the app. FriendCaster is one example. I think they do this to handle sync process in the background.

I don't need anyone!

My choice is no task manager, android is good.

Does stopping running processes have any permanent effect?

Does stopping running processes from the Manage Applications settings have any permanent effect on the phone? If I turn off the phone and turn it on again, will it fix whatever I stopped?
It's ok right to turn off processes? Nothing is really deleted right? Sorry, I'm new to android and smart phones in general/

Running processes are running programmes located in the RAM, so turn them off will only stop them running without wipe them from storage.
Not sure why you want to manually stop running processes, it’s likely they will auto restart after a while anyway. Beside Gingerbread is quite good at manage running apps, so there really is not a need to manually terminate running processes.

Nope. It will not have any permanent effect. You'll just clean up your RAM a bit, but everything you stopped will be started again when you turn on your phone or even in a few seconds.
Agree with the user above about Gingerbread app managing.

In my opinion, the *only* reason to manually stop a process is because it's gone rogue and slowing down your device.
Any form of automatic task killing is ultimately counter-productive!

If you root u device, u can use "Gemini App" to kill apps permanently. Just select them and mark " block", u also can kill processes completely and configure the auto-run

[Q] Limiting the amount of running services

I have installed dozens of apps on my Galaxy Ace and I think it's becoming too much for the poor device. I found out it frequently reboots because of RAM shortage. I tried killing all running apps, but all the memory-hogging services will just restart themselves, which also drains my battery.
So, is there a way to permanently disable Android services, other than to remove the corresponding apps? I don't need Google Maps running in the background (I don't care for tile caching), nor do I need Google Play to check for updates, yet they are active all the time and consume ~25MB of RAM, which makes the difference between freezing and a snappy phone.

Disable/force stop the apps that you do not use from the manage apps option in settings. If you are rooted, use titanium backup to get rid of apps that you don't use. Remember, do not disable any android system service unless you know what it is. You might get into trouble.

Try this...
Use RAM managers, decrease VM heap size and remove JIT also use root startup managers to avoid apps from starting automatically other then system apps.

try autorun manager..
disable useless apps which constantly runs on background and auto starts after killing.
best one so far..
