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 am using 2.3.3
the mobile is always out of memory and restart the launcher except the original one
after playing games, internet browsing or youtube, the launcherpro must be restarted
Anyone can help to solve this?
Are apps running in the background?

Try using GO launcher EX instead. . . In the app drawer there is an option to clear all background apps that are not being used. Or you can also go to each app in settings >applications and force close those background apps though it is tedious. Both work for me.

I enjoyed being a symbian user , till it became extinct.
Now that i have been using android on my I9000 , the one feature i seem to miss is "one step" task switching / ending , like in symbian .
In android the switching is done from the recent apps list and the ending is done from the actual task manager , this is done in two steps , and it's a major incovenience .
Any workaround guys ??
Also have a look at this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-DGZv1SrqQ
At time 1:23 the guy switches , to another task just like i wanted it ?
How was that possible ??
which android ver are you using?
and there is no need to close the background apps..nd using a task manager spoils your ram too...android automatically stops the apps when it needs more Ram
Thanks for your reply
All i want to know is how was switching to opera possible in the video at 1:23
İ want that 1:23 task manager too
long press home button -> task manager and it shows your active apps... but i guess it works differently from SGS1 because if you do this on the I9000 it will show you the info regarding that app
Yes showing info about the app is fine , but i really want it to switch to that app when its touched
Am starting to miss my N- series now
That looks like the stock samsung app manager from settings in older android builds.

I think it was last on eclair, but possibly froyo - so not without a downgrade.......
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Task switcher from market is similar.

I think you've got it wrong , if you see the video , it looks like touchwitz 4 .
Also why would anyone run such an old thing on their galaxy S2
I'm running stock ics 4.0.3 rooted with GL Notecore Kernel v 3.15.
i'm getting a lag in opening the dialer and contacts. Is there any way this can be corrected ? Please help.
Have u tried to clear contacts data or cache from settings.. applications...contacts. ?
U may also try another dialer other than stock dialer and contacts as Go Contacts, this may solve all of ur problems..

Tried doing it but still getting a considerable lag of a a second or two while opening. Meanwhile i'll try using Go contacts and revert back.
Dear akhilesh
Even I an facing the same problem
Haven't been able to find a permanent solution yet
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
same here...I've just learned to live with it.
There must be some way to speed up the process. can't we odex the two applications alone for better performance ?
Edit : Can someone who can work with the file-system odex phone and contacts .apk based on this and repost the files.
Actually on my friends sgs2 its opens very quickly

Exactly, but with the note running better specs, it must open faster. I don't know what's wrong in here. Hope this thread finds a solution.
Can someone turn the spot light in here. please.
Help wanted. Some dev please help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm no dev but it's common for the contacts or phone application to open with a 1 or 2 seconds delay if they are started for the first time. Every succeding start is considerably faster. Do you use a task killer? Next time you want to open the contacts or phone application take a look at a task manager whether the corresponding apps are already running in the background or at least cached. If they are they should open almost immediately. If they are not what you described is absolutely normal.

Hi guys,
I was experiencing the same problem so I tried some other apps and I found one that in my opinion is the best - exDialer (it's free)
It opens very fast, has all functionallity of the stock dialer, and has also skinning capabilities, which I set to ICS (blue fonts on black background).
Give it a try - I hope it helps you!
I tried it. But then having two applications to perform the same task becomes useless ri8. Just one doubt, why a powerful device with 1.4Ghz process. A full gig if Ram take so long to process a simple app and that too a system app.?

I don't know the reason of the lag - but it is there and is really annoying. I had exactly the same thought as you - but I think this is related to TouchWiz UI.
Regarding having two apps for the same task is no problem to me - I just defined the exDialer as default and the stock dialer never comes up again.
And for me is common to have more than one app for the same task - I have 3 browsers, 3 e-book readers, 2 RSS organizers, 2 file browsers, and so on.
What I do is to try many different apps and eventually I find the ones that best suit my needs and then uninstall the others.

Does the stock s3 contact app open faster? If yes we can use that.

I had the same problem, while on Criskelo rom. I've gone to 4.0.4 , rooted and speedmod 3-6 kernel , and now I dont have this issue anymore. However, I belive that if you close your dialer, or contacts by using the back key, instead of Home key, you will always have this "lag". You should close your contacts and phone app , by pressing the home key.

Dear Friends, I'm Currently running in Stock I9305XXBME1 rooted deodexed, i had problem with stock browser, sometimes it closes when I try to return for previous pages, is this normal? well could someone here can help my question. Many thanks
Definately not normal, I've had the browser open with a good few and very rare for them to reload.
You might have some memory hungry apps running in the background, get a task manager to monitor apps ram usage
