Accept terms whenever you access the market application?

Every time I press the market application it takes me to terms and conditions. Its not a huge hassle i just accept them over and over again. Anyone else?
not rooted

Did you try to clear the data from settings>applications>manage applications?

thanks for the reply. Yes i actually do that with a lot of apps pretty regularly.
I also just pressed Maps and it went through the initial page like its the first time to press it ever or after an update. It doesnt happen every time with this app but sometimes. Again its not a big problem just kind of curious...Im going to keep track of all of the apps this happens with, maybe its native apps only, not that that would necessarily mean anything to me. Oh well, i forgot to mention i have the test froyo so in all probability its just a temporary issue until the official 2.2 is released.

I'm alos using Froyo and i don't have this issiue. do you maybe have a app that clears everything, like cache?
What i noticed in Froyo you can clear everything, if you do this the app acts like a fresh start. I had this with browser, lost all my bookmarks. Luckily i had a backup with titanium.

I don't have an app like that afaik but it sounds like it could be the cause so I'm going to go ahead and check my apps again. Thanks

If you are running an app like Advanced Task Killer or any other task killer app, you need to make sure Maps and Market are on the exclude list. From what it sounds like, you have it set to kill apps whenever you turn the screen off. So when you click on Market, it asks you to accept. Try this. Go into Market. Hit Accept. Click the home button, then click back on market. Does it prompt again?

So i tried what you said and when i immediately reentered the market i didnt get the terms and conditions page. Ive accessed the market 4 times today and ive had to accept terms twice.
However i stopped using a task killer a month or two ago. Could it be some app interfering?
Also, I have one nexus one that i use just to charge a battery so i exchange batteries usually at least once each day, i wonder if that could reset it? Except Maps has worked fine all day and i have to go through the initial info screen in that app every now and again. strange...
One last thing. When i use Flikie HD wallpapers, about evry third time i use it it freezes my phone and i have to pull the battery, but im not exactly sure when i installed that app and i believe the market/maos and other apps issue began prior to installing it, but possibly not. A lot of factors in play here

Jerky performance problem, is it RAM or too many apps etc?

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone experience jerky performances.
I have about 10 pages of apps installed mostly games and stock apps.
When I use advance app killer, usually i see stock apps eg. facebook, browser, ebook, etc.. When I kill them all, performance doesn't improve much.
If the 10 pages are the reason, any way to know which is running in background and sucking up resources?

The performance of your Gtab is jerky coz of the apps that run in the background even if you close them they restart.. u cn use startup auditor app to increase performance... if all fails hard reset nd install only required Apps not the apps u don't use but run behind nd eat up RAM nd battery

a certain app may be using up too much background resources. try uninstalling the culprit. detct it by trial and error

I was in a similar situation until I last had to factory reset my Tab due to the whole issue with Google Apps Google Accounts not having access to Google Checkout on the Android Market.
Installed over 100 apps on my first day with the Tab (over-excited, I know ), and realized that my Tab started to lag when opening the app drawer. The problem became most apparent when I shut down or rebooted the Tab; it would literally take minutes to boot up, and often it would freeze and force close my launcher several times in a row.
I chalked it down to having too many apps, but later read that many apps start themselves up on boot even if they had no reason to (e.g. Amazon, Aldiko, etc.)
I've since only installed apps that I would really use throughout the day, but would you guys say that so long these apps do not run on startup (say I disable them using the Autostarts app), I can install a hundred or even two hundred apps without the boot up lag?

So there's no way to see which app is running in background and % memory used, similar to windows task manager?
When I use Advanced task killer, are those 'apps shown' considered as background apps or are background apps invisible?

From my RAM manager, I see like 180+ to 200mb out of 400+mb. I think that's the remaining RAM ?
Anyone knows the stock RAM out of the box?

It might be because carriers pre load crap on them

Installed the free startup app and found the culprits ... GAMELOFT games. They are huge in size and think they eat up the memory in background/at startup.
After disabling, all back to normal.

Why on earth would you want to detect it by trial and error when there is plenty of apps you can use to find it specifically?

Use a app like system panel, It will show you all the running apps and there memory/cpu consumption etc.

Prevent apps like Facebook from automatically running

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.

[Question] Some games run in the background at boot? How to disable them from booting

So apps such as; MP3 Music Download, Pulse, some games etc. They always seem to pop up in my task manager, even though I don't run them. Is there any way to stop them from running in the background and ONLY run when I actually open them?
*Note, they are not widgets, and I have disabled push notifications in the app."

Use autostarts or the autorun function in Gemini app manager!(both require root)

Can you help me, like tell me what I should tick to make it so IT doesn't auto run when I don't want it to? Such as booting, and not even opening the app.

Download Gemini app manager from market!open it --long press on the app--configure autorun--ensure the indicator is green in*boot completed!

Also try to remember that just because they show up in your task manager, doesn't mean they're actively using RAM.

[Q] Need your help - Hardware buttons stop working

Hey, guys. I need your collective genius. I have a weird issue with my Note 3 that I can't figure out and it's driving me crazy. Basically, after a random period of time, my home button will stop working for single press (so, I can't go home). Long press still takes me to multitasking and the back and menu softkeys still work, but after the device turns off, the power button will not turn it back on. A reboot always fixes the issue, but then it crops up again later at a random time.
Relevant info:
I am rooted
I have Adaway installed and blocking ads
Running Nova Launcher with Teslaunread
Froze the Knox apps with Titanium backup, but I did not use TB to do a restore of any kind. I also have a few assorted bloatware apps frozen like Yahoo finance, but nothing critical.
I do not have a custom recovery and there are no other hacks (i.e. xposed framework, etc)
I uninstalled all non-essential apps, but there's no pattern to when it happens, so an app is unlikely to be the cause.
Basically, I'm just rooted with adblock and a few apps frozen. Nothing crazy. No custom rom or anything and I didn't mess with any system files. Does anyone have any ideas? My next step was to uninstall Nova, but I don't think that's the cause. It's maddening because it happens so randomly that there's no way to really nail down the cause and I'd really rather not do a wipe.

I dont think you have software issue I think its a faulty device. My galaxy tab 3 7.0 had the same issue where it would randomly stop working I had to trade it in

Try "swipe home button" app from Google play. Whrn you think the home button stops use that one instead and if swipe works then it might be a hardware issue if swipe doesn't work either then probably a software one and perform a hard reset. That's all I can think of now.

So, it looks like it may have been the memory card. It was one of the SanDisk class 10s and I had had it for some time. It had around 1000 pics on it. I got a new class 10 SanDisk card, formatted it in the phone and haven't had a freeze or lock up since.
