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.

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.

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.

I had tried to make my Keyguard go off when I'm at my home wifi, and it simply doesn't work. I'm using tasker and I'm using the same profile as I did on my SGS2 and that was perfect but the HTC One is a bit more trouble some with this setting. If anyone has done this and got it to work successfully please include it. Much appreciated to sharing your time.

I am having the same problem with tasker, I am gonna try older version of tasker!!
I just started using Tasker... and it really works funkily. I have used Tasker itself and Secure Settings, both, to disable the keyguard when I am connected to my WIFi... And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes while I am using the phone and hit the Android Home button, it actually goes to the Pattern input lock screen.
I am using CM10 with Action Launcher on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus 16gb GSM
I posted this in the Sprint HTC One forums and got little in reply, let me know whose you guys think
I don't know if this is an issue with 4.3 specifically because I don't recall if this was happening since I installed the update..but my multitasking with this phone has been horrible lately. I mean no matter what app I switch to it begins to reload, even if it's the last one I used or a light application (ex Google Now to Messaging). I already found it frustrating how upon switching apps with this phone it would show you a frozen image for a brief moment before before allowing you to interact with the actual application, but now apps are actually having to reload. I'm using apex pro and it's also redrawing nearly every time I go back to the homescreen, be it from internet, floorboard, messaging etc. Not sure why it's happening but it started like a week ago and my phone has been feeling pretty ****ty because of it. My GS4 w/touchwiz has less multitasking issues than this phone right now, any ideas on what's going on? Stock unrooted 4.3

Isn't there a specific setting that locks the launcher in memory to prevent the redraws? Are you running a custom rom or you're using apex on a stock rom?

There is that setting, but when it's enabled a notification sits in the dropdown that says to remove apex from the permanent memory, you can't swipe it away either. Really stupid, never seen a phone with that notification before, my s2 with 1gb of ram multitasked amazing. Regardless it's all aspects of multitasking not just launcher redraw, if I switch from messages to setting and then back to massages, it'll have to reload regardless of how light of an app it is.
Stock unrooted 4.3. Rebooting gives me a few days without hindrance but eventually the problem resurfaces, I barely have any apps installed and none of them are out of the ordinary.

I was about to backup my apps with titanium and saw the option to integrate system app updates into rom and figured it would be safe and a smart thing to do. Well as it progressed I got various force close messages and ultimately several system apps ended up being uninstalled such as launcher or keyboard. I got them back and running fine but now I can't turn on my data. I can see a signal just not access it. Do you think that's a app titanium messed up or what.
Ok just browsing my phone and the radio folder is empty. Could this be it?
still Need help my data usage force closes too but it's installed
Fixed
I would say how honestly im not sure. My data usage screen was crashing so i restored a backup of the netpolicy.xml and netstats folder which were apparently deleted as well as restore my htc sense service pack and rebooted and it was on
I like root but ill think that aside from a custom boot animation im gonna leave the rest alone.,

Yeah, until we get RUU's from HTC, you're better off safe than sorry!
They should not release phones without also releasing the RUU's along with it!
Glad to hear that you got it fixed though!
