40-50 apps? I guess it's showing you the running processes and not apps. Some of them maybe system processes. And you can disable the apps through settings-applications-running-click on a app and disable. And 5 hours battery life isn't very bad if the usage is continuous with WiFi on!

Yes, i think that is a process running. I dont use wi-fi only gprs and still 5 hours of battery is a very litlle time to use_

Look 5 hrs when youre using your phone constantly isn't very bad! How old is your battery? Do hit thanks if i helpes

Battery is 2 months old.. but i wont to solve problem with that process that open in background,is that also normal? To be so much open,some of that is process but some of that is program..i will put a screenshot..
RUNNING PROGRAM:50!! I DONT USE HALF OF THAT BUT STILL IS OPEN,how can i close em down?

It isn't normal for so many processes to be running. You are using the Touchwiz firmware. When you restart your phone and start an app, say messaging, it takes a certain time to open. Now when you close it(Not force close), and open messaging again, the time required for it to open will be significantly lesser than the last time as the process is running in the background. What I'd suggest yoy to improve your battery life is you make it a habit to periodically close the recent apps(long press home and slide the apps sidewards). And for apps like viber, uninstall them if you don't use them because apps relating to IM like gtalk, viber, skype, whatsapp will always run in the background. And do go to settings-battery to check out the battery consumption and you'll know the culprit there
Try this app Greenify if your phone is rooted, works wonders
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eenify&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Ya. Greenify is able to hibernate downloaded apps.

or you can try go to settings > developers options > limit background processes > and set limit to 4 process only, it doesnt affect stability and it boost performance a bit for me
I think it can help a little,..

As a general rule, free RAM is wasted RAM (except when it gets too low): http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care.
As you will read, task killers are additionally counter-productive, because most of the killed apps will restart, using more battery and cpu. The most sensible way to preserve battery and resources it to use app like Autorun Manager or Autostarts, with which you can disable specific triggers causing selected apps to autorun.
If you care about battery saving, you can find more info in those two threads:

It helps me a lot. I don't have rooted phone
But can I root the phone and get access to system and root files but I want to keep this official ROM but still have rooted phone, is that possible?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Very much possible bro. Just root the phone, don't install any new ROM. There are very safe threads on how to root here in the android development forum. The PhilZ method is very easy and recommended.

What about upadete? If I root the phone,if there be an official update can I download and update the phone or 4.1.2 is the last that this phone will get? When I root the phone then I will can turn off this background programs and process?

Follow that link above. And after you root, you'll be able to use apps like greenify and the others suugested earlier in the thread. The app greenify is very useful, developed by a xda member, it allows you to hibernate apps so that a non-system process starts only when you use the app and not by itself. And yes you'll be able to update though im not sure if there will be a 4.2.2 update for note any soon. Anyway once you root, you can always install a supported custom ROM with the highest android version!

Yes. It is possible to have stock rom with root. Try searching for philz kernel. Get the one that matches your rom and flash it in recovery mode. But of cause your recovery will be changed to CWM recovery.
And it is also possible that you will not he able to.get OTA or Kies update anymore.

Running apps in memory

I happen to have 3 Galaxy Note devices, original, 8 and 10.1 and I use Samsung Link to stream shows to a tv using AllShare. When I stream something on the original Note the stream is often interrupted (perhaps twice during a 45 minute show) due to lost stream. I have finally figured that the problem is on the original Note. The Samsung Link software is "pushed" out of memory, due to incoming notifications or Dropsync doing something.
I went into the Task Manager> Available memory> Running applications, there I discovered that the Note seems to only hold two apps in memory at the time even if there are some 400 MB memory available and one of them seems to always be Google Music Player, even if I haven't launched it, not even once since booting the device.
Sooo, is there a method to a) make the Note accept more apps in memory, or B) temporarily disable GMP?

Google music player can be disabled from settings - applications. Find it and press disable.

I could probably use Tasker to simplify the process, thanks.

Freeze as many apps as possible with titanium backup (Root required). Also, install Geenify for user apps taht you din't want to run unless they are active

Discovered that i couldn't disable Google Music Player, that would require me to first uninstall all the updates. Stupid setup.

It's stock. Running 4.1.2 (I think)
With all the RAM it just surprised me that it doesn't hold more than two apps in memory simultaneously and it seems rude of Google to monopolize one of those spots.

If you are rooted. Delete play music from system. And the .dex file also. If you want that app, install it from play store like a normal app. Install Greenify also. Use Greenify to hibernate play music. In that sense, you can still use play music when you want.

Unfortunately I'm Linux/Android illiterate so I run stock on everything. I see that I perhaps need to become more literate.

Thats the way to do if you want to carry on using play music and want to stop it from running when you dont use it.

Battery issues GT-S6012

Hello xda.I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Music Duos GT-S6012 from ICS to JB 4.1.2 using Odin and an update package intended for another region(still counts as official update) and rooted it.I did this mainly because the TouchWiz UI was really laggy,mainly the dialpad and contacts.So i also installed Nova Launcher.The UI is now noticeably smooth apart from the uncommon lagging.But it seems I had to pay for smooth use with my battery life.Using the internet greatly reduces my battery life.Is there any remedy for it?Is there any good ROM or an efficient custom kernel out there for my device?
Sent from my rooted Samsung GT-S6012 running 4.1.2 via Tapatalk

You can try an app called Battery Calibration ,calibrate when your battery is 100%.I also use Deep Sleep Battery Saver,see if those apps help you,if not it may be specific rom problem

Is battery doctor helpful?I have not kept note of timings,but i think the app does help the charging process faster,but i can see a drop in my battery's endurance....below 30% the charge lasts the most and below 10% sometimes it's a countdown...What's your opinion of the app?

Install greenify
It's one of the best root apps and use it to hibernate unwanted apps as long as you're not using them.
Juice defender ultimate is also worth a try... But I would recommend greenify.

Hi Monty Bhai..
Sorry to know about your problems . Well, I have the same phone and updated it to jelly bean before someday. I'm not experiencing any battery problem .
Well, I googled but didn't get any rom and kernal ..
Hmm. Some tips for you. It may help .
1. Reduce the brightness of
your display.
2. Set your screen timeout
to the shortest length
possible.
3. Turn off the wireless and bluetooth
feature when not
needed .
4. Turn off the GPS when not needed .
5. Do not leave applications
running when you don't
need them .
and lagging problem .. Hmm . Uninstall some apps which you don't need . more phone space= more smoother experience .
Hope it helps.

Get either Battery Doctor, like mentioned previously, or JuiceDefender. Battery Doctor also adds a circle battery as a notification in case you don't have one flashed or a custom ROM/Xposed module that has one.

I also hav updated it to jelly bean...batgery life is wonderful now...at 12 in the night if its 100 percent..at 8 in the morning it will be 98..and i use internet frequently and i can manage till night

CM11-NIGHTLIES issues

NOTE: I'm including here all issues I found, some seems not to be CM specific, but related to all KitKat ROMs and others to Note's Exynos hardware. Above all, big thanks to the ROM's developer(s) for his awesome work!
Hi all,
I can't write in the official development thread, so I'll post here (BTW eventually I'll get rights to write there). I've been using CM nightlies since one year ago. Started with 10.2 and now I'm using 11.
I've been suffering for a long time an issue that I've finally fixed, from time to time my device was very hot and battery drained very fast, only a reboot helped, looking into Settings > Battery I always find GPSD to be guilt guy, that problem was caused by Google's Android Device Manager, once I disabled the extended permissions in Security > Device Managers, the issue disappeared. I'm putting this here for the record, so maybe other people could find it useful.
Other issues: I tried to use a external microSD card filled with music, but from time to time the card freezes (player won't work, and file explorer apps also can't list directories), after rebooting is ok again.
Another thing, yesterday I updated from some February's nightly to CM-11-20140326-NIGHTLY, and now google's calendar app will FC when agenda view is requested. Also my agenda widgets won't show anything.
EDIT 3/28: Some people in development thread are reporting that their devices freeze for some seconds, this seems to be related to the lack of trim optimizations, I've also solved this by always having more than 50% of free space in both partitions (internal & external), unfortunately, this means for me that I can't use ART and I must hold to Dalvik, not a big deal anyway. BTW, does anybody else lost icons in Google Now Launcher after every reboot? God I miss Trebuchet....
EDIT 3/31: The FC issue in calendar is gone after updating to CM-11-20140330-NIGHTLY, and for the lost icons issue I've finally switched to Nova Launcher Premium, great app BTW.
Greetings

Hi, are the icons of apps that disappear ones you have on SD ?..

Music player bug is a known bug (not a feature) on all KitKat Roms for our device and the S2. Bug on Exynos 4 devices.
There is a thread in omni sub-forum dealing with this issue...
Forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49470330
You can fill up your internal and external SD. Shouldn't have an impact on ART or dalvik, but if your /data partition is getting filled up with your user apps (2GB), then you'll get in trouble with ART...
You'll get "write rights" in development section when you have successfully posted 10 times on XDA...not a real hurdle...

hi,
juste like you i've been using CM10.2, and then updated to a clean CM11.
Things works great and stability is quite impressive for a nighty room.
The only thing that really has big problem is the camera... It's making yellow pics !!!! Solve by using focal ....

Hi, yes, thankyou somebody else point me in the same direction, the icons disappearing are related to apps allocated in "external" memory...

Hi thank you for your answer the problem is, generated cache using ART is a lot bigger, and I empirically tested that whenever I get more than 50% of the internal (or external) memory full phone starts to freeze from time to time, seems to be related with the lack of TRIM optimizations

Using Phone as Music player

Hi.
Ive been using my S3 for a few years now and found my old S1 the other day still working.
As there is still alot of support for this phone i upgraded the ROM to KK and all looks good, but i dont really need the phone for general phone stuff so was looking to use it mainly as a Music player.
Im running OMNI on it with Apollo, DSP Manager (but still stock OMNI Kernal, which i might update if a better one is available for Sound?)
What i would like to know is what can i delete off the phone but still have it function without any FC? i.e it will never be used for text or phone calls or navigation, only music and maybe games (but still would like Play store access for app download, via WiFi.
Has anyone ever done this before?
Thanks

From what I know deleting any of the telephony features causes a whole lot of problems for a rom. You could try disable every app you don't need and see how it goes?
Alternatively you could always leave it on aeroplane mode (you can still access wifi)

Yeah i think the best option is Airplane Mode to be honest. I did delete some of the Messaging files and so far no FC, but think i will leave the rest for now.
Thanks
