[Q] Internet not closing on JPO - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've found on JPO that when I exit Internet normally the app doesn't close, I have to go into the app manager to end it. Has anyone else found this / got any idea how to fix it please (other than a factory reset!!)?

I am on jm1 and the internet app is behaving the same way. I don't think it's a jpa problem

Same here, i guess it's normal since its part of google core apps, i would leave it alone seeing as it doesn't cause any additional battery drain and android will automatically end it when it needs the RAM.
Google know what they're doing

JPO (Froyo) allows multi-tasking I guess it's so you can look at something else and return?
If you press the Home button in call it leaves you connected and you can check your calendar?

This is standard behaviour.
Otherwise how would you multi task? If you just leave it the OS will eventually close it if needed. This is also true of the gallery, music player and video player.

Run/Bike app?

I've tried just about every reasonably rated run/bike app on my Aria (Endomondo and RunKeeper seem to be the best) and always have the same problem.
I start them before a run/ride, but shortly after I begin, my screen turns off and the app seems to close. It actually is still running (when I press and hold the Home button, the app appears), but when I reopen it, my current run/ride has terminated.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to keep the app going when my screen turns off?
Thanks in advance.
i use runkeeper and dont ever have that problem, the screen normally stays on the entire time unless i manually lock it or change screens
i dont even know how to change the settings to make it do anything different
I also use runkeeper without any problems (running Liberated Beta 5). I start the application/activity, lock the screen, and it runs without fail either in the background or as the primary running application.
Are you using some kind of automated task killer or battery saving application? That is the only thing I can think of that would explain the closing of the app when your screen shuts off.
your old thread is still here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742912&highlight=endomondo
did you try the app fix i mentioned?

I never saw your trackboost suggestion. I did a search on the Market and it couldn't find it. Can you send me a link to it?

I don't use a lockscreen. I just turn off the screen with the power button.
Not aware of using any task killer or battery saving app. In my task manager, it is still running.

[Q] Contacts Won't Close?

Anyone else having a problem with the Contacts app not closing? When opened Back won't let you exit it, and I have to launch task manager to kill End it.
Me too...since jpy....also internet has always done this too....any reason?

Yeah forgot about that too. Some other apps do this as well such as TD's app. I was assuming it was just either poor programming or the app stays running to launch it faster next time and or save your space. This I don't believe is the case for Contacts though.
Hi its a new task manager bug if you can rollback to ver 1.5 problem will disappear.
Anyone else have any solutions since I don't know how to rollback the version?

[q] Issue of Gingerbread 2.3.3 on N1

1) Genie (news/meteo) widget is broken. I remove the widget but, when I try to reinstall it, "genie" process suddenly ends.
RESOLVED: clear data from Application Settings Menu and then re-apply the widget.

Same issue with Meridian Pro player, the widget would make it crash.
Deleting the widget, clearing application data, then re-adding the widget fix it.
Note that clearing the application data makes it forget your unlock code for the pro version. Make sure you have a copy of your code before clearing the data.
I miss the Froyo keyboard, i loved to just swipe my finger up and get another pair of lines with symbols, WHY WAS THIS REMOVED!!!
Or perhaps is not removed, anyone knows?

Annoying amazon mp3 app is still there!
Can't access to Google Voice app (no more icon). The application appears as installed in the market. Can't open / uninstall from the list of applications (appears in grey in all apps list).
Anyone have the Trillian 1.0.145? (final beta before it went to market)
Seems to be the only app not working for me, never completes log in.
Not really an issue, but I.was so much hoping for copy/paste to work in gtalk but I still can't copy in gtalk.

I always chuckle when people say they avoid CM7 and other ROMs because they want to "avoid bugs".
Irony at its finest?
Don't know if anyone will care, but if you spam tap "Android version 2.3.3" you will see this image:

Do you really need to keep evangelizing CM? This is XDA, we know about CM7. If we wanted to be running it we would be already.
When you go to the USB storage connection screen the button seems to say "Turn off USB storage" no matter whether it's already on or not.

Yeah, me too.
Just close the Market and then re-open and you're back at the new one. You may need to kill Market in app management, or just wait a couple of minutes to go back in.

[Q] Disappearing launcher problem + maps problem

Hi,
I'm using stock 2.3.3 w/ stock launcher, build GRI40. Occasionally, when I press home, I see my live wallpaper but no launcher. I either have to sit for a while until launcher reappears or reboot the phone (or kill the launcher app if System is in app history). Does anyone else have this problem?
Another problem I have is with Maps. Sometimes when searching, the soft keyboard doesn't show up but if I tap where the keys would be, it registers the press as if the kb is there.
And sometimes when going into the details for a point in the map and bringing up the context menu for more options, the screen darkens as if the dialog is there but no dialog is shown. Again, when I tap the screen, it registers the presses as if the dialog is there. I'm using HTC IME mod for N1. Killing the map app doesn't help, only a reboot seems to solve it.
Anyone else having these issues?
Are any of these apps installed on your SD? That would be the obvious fix...

No, all on the internal memory. This is stock Android so stock apps can't be moved to the sd card.
When you update from the Market, the update is placed in /data/app, not system/app, so it's possible your Maps is in data. I know that was a source of Maps problems for me, which I resolved by moving it back to system. If you're not rooted, you don't have that option through... Tricky... :-/

I know that I've been having problems with the new keyboard, wont show up, wont show key press popups, crashes completely. Maybe it's something I'm doing... I think it's something system wide that just effects the keyboard workings.
I don't know. but you're not the only one with key board issues. =)

I've started having a strange problem with HTC IME Mod. I type stuff and it never draws the suggestions although the suggestions are actually there - moving the Dpad left/right shows the text being replaced in the input box with the suggestion.
This is starting to look like a GB issue tbh, I never had any of these problems in Froyo. All my stuff is stock.

I saw this problem once, about 24 hours after installing 2.3.3. I was also experiencing severe battery drain. The battery monitor showed "Android OS" using most the battery. I found references to setting the Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never" to correct this. Sure enough, the battery life has been fine and "Android OS" no longer uses much battery.
It may be coincidental, but since doing this, I haven't had the empty home screen problem and my phone has been up for over a week. You might give this a try if you haven't already and see if it helps.

problem with browser

Hey, since I have galmin, I noticed some weird behavior of browser. No matter what rom I'm using, it closes by itself. It's not force close, it just takes me to homescreen, like I have pressed home button. When I start it again, it takes me to google... I just want to ask, did anyone else seen something like that on their phone? I think it might be related to ram management but I can't be sure
haopened to many times..b didnt think of this way

Dolphin Mini? or try Maxthon...
right, i forgot to add that it happens only on stock browser, and using something else is not a solution for me i just want to know if it happens to someone else too, and why it happens. it's not like browser closes itself every day, maybe twice a week tops? so it's not bothering me that much. and no, i'm not using any scripts or battery savers.
its on stock browser only..happened to me mostly on CM7 builds idk why..now am using andro-id so its a lil less..but it deffinitely happens..and happened in froyo too..Its not regular problem but happens sometimed like 2/3 times a week..So never thought of it as a serious problem

Happens to me as well. Andro-ID 3.3.1 no scripts.
Yes is happened also to me but only on this forum if i go on full site from stock browser and i've found the way for "fix" this issue and the ways for "fix" this issue in my case are 2:
1. Use adaway for remove the ads from internet.
2. Deactivate the javascript.
and then all works good, however don't i've understood the exact reason of this issue but is sure that too ads freeze the stock browser.

I guess that bcause the stock browser use a too high amount of ram, so it will close itself if system is in low memory state.

Yes...but in my case this happens only when there too ads and only on full site of this forum happens that the stock browser it closes itself then i think that too ads eat too ram and then the browser it freeze and it closes itself because if i use adaway or disable the javascripts this don't happens anymore.

To much image to load its make stock browse lag then close its self, because browser make a big chace on system.
I always found this problem while browsing, not only on GingerBread, you can found it on ICS to.
do reset chace and cookies before browsing, and if the stock browser feel little lag than before, back to homescreen and delete it from recent app then open it again. you cant try this method on gingerbread because GB doesnt have recent app layout.
Recent app layout on ICS looks like taskmanager but not same with taskmanager.
