Hi
I'm running cyanogen 4.2.4 and its AWESOME. But I've found a problem which I'm hoping someone on xda can help fix. Everytime I'm running an app (browser, messsaging, etc) and either I lock my phone, when I unlock it the app I was running is automatically ended. This has now got a bit annoying as my phone is set to timeout after 30 seconds and if I'm @ work and I'm halfway through texting someone but I have to get back to work I find my phones locked and the message disappears
Thank You in advance
Ps - I'm running stock 2.0 theme
regarding apps closing on their own
The first thought that comes to mind is... Are you running a theme? Are you using a task manager type app? If so are the apps you're seeing end on their own in your exclude list? Most task manager apps have a settable time to stop all running apps to free up ram and save battery. I've tested your issue and I can't seem to duplicate it. So I'm leaning on the idea you have a task manager app turning them off for you. If there is an app you don't want to close, then put it in the "exclude list" and you should be fine
and if that doesnt work you can always wipe and reflash

hi guys was just wondering if there is a way to change how apps there are running on startup, because i noticed that whenever i turn my phone on it takes a while for everything to fullly load. i checked my task killer app only to find all of my apps were running which is why i think it takes a while to load after being turned on. i think i saw a thread on here a while ago but i can seem to find it. thanks in advance.
bump someone must be able to give me an answer...even if its to say that it isnt possible.
You can use TaskPanel, which is free on the market, works sort of like task killer but better, you can add programs to an autokill list and it stops them from running services until you want them too. I use it for my craigslist app cause I never set alerts on it but it's always running in the background which I don't need.
ok thanks will try that now
Hello all, a little information about phone:
Magic 32b
Stock SPL
Stock Radio
Cyanogen 4.2.15.1
Have been having issues the past couple of days with sms notifications not actually coming across. No sound, nothing in the notification bar, nothing. However, as soon as I open the messaging app, I see I have new text messages. Anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? I have already run fix permissions to no avail, wiped phone, ext, all that stuff, and still no fix. Any help is appreciated!
Settings
Did you make sure that notifications is checked off in the message settings.
Yea, everything is checked and all that. It only happens periodically, if I have been active with the application, it picks right up, but when I haven't been in it for awhile I don't get anything until I open it back up...
Task Managers?
Do you have any task managers active that might be closing the messaging application? That might be your problem.
I do have a task manager, but always kill it to close out of it. I guess that could be the problem, but how, then, do I verify that the task manager is actually not running in the background and killing off the Messaging app?

Maybe try uninstalling the task manager.
I'm using the stock 2.2.1 firmware which works great apart from one bug..
When I open contacts.. it doesn't close properly and runs in the background. If I go to task manager and kill it the whole GUI restarts itself.
Also if I leave contacts open it seems to eat up memory (upto 80MB at times)
Does anyone know a way to fix this?
I like to know also....
Same thing happens on the vibrant. A fix would be really nice

This happens if you installed the update to the samsung task manager through samsung apps. Uninstall the update to revert back to the original version and it will close the contacts app
^Thank you veryyyyyy much. This also removed lag when entering contacts for me!!! B)
I'be had fairly poor battery performance. When i went into running services i saw that quite a few were running that i didn't start up myself. Like Facebook. Tripit, hootsuite. I've made sure that notifications have been turned off but these apps are still loading up. Any way of making sure they don't load unless i manually load them?

I've been using watchdog. It lets me know when an app is running in the background and lets me kill it. If there's an automatic solution, I'd like to know about it too.

Don't use task killers/managers. It's like shutting your computer off repeatedly without shutting it down properly and has the ability to screw **** up.

Agreed, task killers... kill batteries.
Honestly, having it run in the background doesn't kill your battery. Its the syncing. I'm assuming you are NOT rooted? If so, then there are a number of apps to help you, primarily Titanium Backup so you can FREEZE the app.
If you want to have a quick free fix, go under accounts, and turn off sync for those apps. Saves battery life like you wouldn't believe.
There's also an app called "LTE Switch" that brings you to the LTE Menu so you can switch to CDMA (Also a HUGE battery saver)
Good luck!
I am rooted and running UNL3ASH3D V2.0. And yes I understand it's the syncing that kills the battery. I've turned off syncing on these apps but they're still loading which makes me think they are still using at least some battery. None of these programs (like Facebook) are listed in Accounts.

None are showing under Accounts? Hmm, thats odd. Usually, when you first get your phone, it asks to set these up. What all apps start up upon reboot? And you are NOT rooted, correct? I'll do some research
I'm not using the Social Networking app. Standalone versions of Facebook, Hoot Suite, etc.
What I'm using is a program that is a part of my file explorer, ES Task Manager. Instead of KILLING the apps, I can force them at startup to not run. So I stopped Gun Bros and Contract Killer from running at startup because they had these annoying notifications they would send me about buying in-game stuff and really didn't need to be run at all. And I couldn't find a way to turn them off lol, so this works out well for me. If you don't want something running at startup, you can do it this way, and it could potentially help battery life because it would only run when you tell it to. And you need root access to do this.
Great suggestion

Look for program called "Startup Manager" in market - works great!
hello...i used a auto start manager, works great..but i also want that when i close facebook from recent app that it kills the process...in rom tools task manager i see that facebook is a hidden app (like whatsapp) so the built-in task manager doesn't kill it when i close the app..any ideas how to make the facebook app "visible" so that the task manager auto kills it like other apps and games?

People say that but whenever I haven't used one, I can notice the difference in performance. My bionic runs better with ATK.

Help guys, since i use stocklite 7.1 that when I open certain apps like mms.apk or the Phone apk to call someone they just go back screen and simply close. Thats extremly annoying since i run a company and when i'm wiriting big sms it simply closes and the text isn't even saved on drafts.
Recently i also installed Viber, and it also happens there. What can be wrong?

Anyone knows? I searched a bit and some said ATK (Advance Task Killer) may cause this. Strange since i always press Menu-> Exit ...
Also i have a moded mms.apk to dont have limit in SMS, but i don't think is either of them thats causing this... or Tasker... When I had it before SotckLite 7.1 it worked fine...
Try reflashing the rom.
