[Q] Google Maps Traffic Widget Updating - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has this happened to anyone else? I used the Google Maps Traffic Widget once but then deleted it from the screen. Now the updater for the traffic widget always seems to start itself. I force stop it and it always comes back after some time. I also try to force stop and clear the cache of Google Maps and also hibernating maps by Greenify that will stop it for a while but again it always comes back after some random amount of time. It is eating up my battery. Anyone know if there is some way to permanently stop this thing from "updating"?

Juz disable da application or uninstall it with titanium backup.

1. Why uninstall? Never uninstall system apps if not sure it will work. There are apps that can freeze apps, then simply unfreeze if needed. Titanium backup can do this and much more like backup.
2. Don't know, never used launcher pro, xperia launcher are the best Imo
3. Choose yes to use wifi, and use an app to set it to use in eg Europe, Japan or wherever....search in xda for like gps faster fix.
As for 1 there's also a list on the web stating which system apps can be deleted or not. You risk fc and apps mot working properly as they depend on another, easy freezy are also an app to use for freezing apps
Easiest for you would be to install a custom rom, you need clockwork mod recovery and root then. Pm me if you need a guide
Thanks for the sugestion now i have reinstalled messaging app and disable it using root app delete
Now want one more thing to ask
Can i freeze the system app like
Lg home(i am using launcher pro)
Browser (using dolphin)
Hidden menu-use it very rarely
Rsstarter- don't know what is this for !!
Plz reply
Thanks once again

I'd advice you to keep from freezing / uninstalling apps if you don't know what they're for. It's not like you will get a huge performance improvement if you delete these, so I'd let them be.
You can freeze the LG launcher (or uninstall it if you want) as long as you have another launcher installed. This is required, otherwise you're in for disaster.
Thanks for a very quick reply
Just wanted to say after freezing some of the apps that i donf use i got a very good ram space and i feel that my device is now working much faster
Now what about freezing browser and lge hidden menu
And yeah what is rsstarter ??

It's for the Remote Screen service. If you don't use it, you don't need rsstarter. I removed it with no evident side effects.
BTW, thanks to SuperSkill I learned something new -- I didn't understand before what exactly "freezing" meant...
Thanks freezed it successfully..!
and yeah +1 to superskill from mr as well

(APP) What is this app?

Can anyone tell me what's that app in notification bar?
Looks like some sort of Task Manager telling you CPU/RAM usage
I'm thinking about a firewall or something like that because it was on a "Best android antivirus for 2013" forum...and on PC, ZoneAlarm firewall has exactly the same systray icon...if anybody knows, feel free to answer :good:

Realy? You don't know which apps you have istalled? Try uninstall master it shows nearly all installed apps. Maybe you'll find something you don't installed

i think he should first get rid off either avast or avg because having two antivirus softwares on one device is a no go (much like on pc's)... stick with one...

why the hell would he do that? factory reset would be an absolute last resort.... and i have no idea why the hell you think installing apex would help him?
OP do you have google now enabled?
first thing i would do is disable data and disconnect wifi - make sure it is an app trying to fetch data that is causing the problem, if that turns out to be the case then simply stop all apps from syncing automatically and reenable a few at a time until you capture the problem one.
check out whether your GPS is being used too - google now would use your location and fetch data a lot, my money is on it.

fair enough... but you can be 99.99% sure that it is something you have installed that is causing it.
