hey mates, many times i see walkman stops playing, i think it is just getting killed for low memory? in that case is there any tweak i can apply to tell android i don't want walkman getting killed? i guess there's some tweak involving editing of build.prop?? :crying:
The build prop edit doesn't work. Get system tuner and set custom ram kill values or else get ram manager and select high multitasking.

can't get it, bro? how to do it using sys tuner can u plz elaborate the process?
I can't think it will be low memory - the SP has plenty of RAM to run JB and some serious multi-tasking.
I imagine it's an incompatible app or some setting that has been changed.
From past experience I know that some custom kernels with a deep sleep profile can be very agressive (killing background processes) when the screen is off.

no bro, it kills walkman when screen is on, usually when i use chrome to do a lot of surfing. anyways i have installed supercharger script!! :victory: let's see if it solves the problem.
I have the issue of the Sound effects of the Walkman geting killed off if I do some serious facebooking or G+'ing on the phone. The Walkman app itself still works, however the sound effects app gets killed and there's no way to get it back except a reboot.
Killing and restarting Walkman doesn't help.

Well I've only had the SP for 6 days, so haven't really put it through it's paces. I think I read somewhere that the default out of memory app killer is set at 200mb which is probably too conservative. Even so for it to kill an in use process rather than a cached one does suggest a bug of some kind.
I came from a phone with 512MB ram - so far the SP is exceeding my expectations (especially when it comes to multi tasking). Of course facebook is a bloated app that doesn't seem especially well optimised for android, I try to avoid it - it's possible that apps that cache a lot of media might cause trouble?
i have installed supercharger script and it seems to resolve this error.
I know this is a bit of an old thread but I'm having a similar, and at times worse problem. I also think the default task killer has some bug or something because it kills the walkman app every now and then while I'm listening to music. I installed the Xposed framework and the App Settings module to set some apps to be 'Residents' and that has worked very well with some apps. The really big problem is that, there are times where the phone literally closes an app that I'm currently using while it's still visible, I've had Chrome close on me very often and sometimes the keyboard doesn't appear when I want to write something, which makes me believe that somehow the keyboard app/service was killed. I'm hoping that if CM or some other custom ROM gets released, it'll have better memory management, but for the time being, is there any way I can quarantine a Sony service or app to stop this from happening so often?
I am using the latest .245 firmware, rooted and with unlocked bootloader, and I've never installed any third-party task manager/killer. I'm pretty sure it's not that I'm running out of RAM because I usually have around 200MB free, sometimes a lot more.

I've had a similar issue with the Xperia T. Listening to music through Bluetooth, and browsing using the stock android browser (not chrome), the music used to stop and it would loose the stopping point and reopening walkman shows the music as if after its been refreshed. Posted on Sony forums, to which I was asked to repair the phone and didnt seem to slove it.
Only change that happened was I stopped using the two of them simultaneously for a longer period of time
Btw, this was on the original ICS fw, for Xperia T. Can't comment on it on JB as I havent put it through the same scenario.
But RAM used to be around 667MB when on ICS and ~800MB for JB on Xperia T

Well as someone else suggested I installed the supercharger script. So far it seems a LOT better, but I'll have to test it for a few days before I can be sure.
It's weird that Walkman has such a low task priority

Its not about which player you are using.
Its the OOM groupings that are a little f-ed up in SP. This happens with Pandora and Spotify for that matter too..
Well nevermind what I said, if anything something seems a little worse now, my launcher keeps randomly crashing and I'm getting a constant weird notification about a failed bugreport. Supercharger scripts says that everything is working 100% but I think somehow the phone is still managing to kill its services. It's driving me a little crazy and I'm not sure what to try, I'd reflash the stock ROM and start from scratch but it didn't work well before, that's why I started installing other apps...

Ok I might give it a try but there's one specific thing that's driving me insane. I've already installed Xposed framework, V6 Supercharger and Crossbreeder. They all seem to be working correctly and some things work fine, but my keyboard keeps disappearing very very often. I don't know why, I click on a textbox to write something and as I start typing they keyboard just goes away and doesn't come back for a while, I don't even know why or if it has anything to do with RAM (which I doubt). I'm using the Kii Keyboard from the Play Store and I've bulletproofed it with the Supercharger scripts, and it does appear with an OOM priority of -17. I've tried reinstalling and also using the default Xperia keyboard, but it keeps happening.
Any input is appreciated, or if someone knows a way to maybe make a log or something to identify the culprit.
It gets killed. Happens seldom with my SwiftKey.

If you visit the themes and apps section. You will find a modded services.jar which will stop your home launcher from being killed. Currently working on the team management. So expect a fix by next week. Cheers!

I spend a lot of time reading on opera mobile and if I get a call in between opera Is closed by the system and I have to load all my pages again.it's pretty annoying, is it possible to stop this force closure of opera ?
my observation -
I've noticed that if Iam doing something intensive like steaming videos or downloading stuff opera doesn't crash during calls, but instead if Iam on a simple page like google it's terminated. so Iam guessing that when Iam on a simple page for a long time the phone is underclocked automatically and opera process is killed by Android when I receive a call as it can't take all that load in an underclocked state .
Do you guys think that underclocking is what's causing these crashes ?
Yeah as long as I know. Thats android managing the RAM and clearing it when it thinks the running app is not being used
Sent from GNOTE - The Indisputable Beast of Android World
So am guessing there is no workaround to make opera stay on no matter what other process is running ?
Why is Android terminating opera unecessarily?..
... because the fat lady sang!

. Thanks that was really helpful lol
check your battery saving setting make sure they are off
May be there are apps in the play store which will prevent user defined apps getting killed by the os.
OR
Install V6 SuperCharger and add opera mobile to Bullet Proof Apps List.
If you are using franko kernel, be careful just use BulletProof. Donot supercharge or use kick ass kernelizer. (I had random reboots.)
Hope it helps.
I don't know why bulletproof apps is not working for me
Hi,
It is possible that after a period of no system resource use by Opera, the system would be terminating the application to conserve resources.
What kenel and ROM are you using? There are task manager apps available of the market in which you can mark certain apps not to be terminated. You can give those a shot as well.
Consider shifting to Chrome...i use it a lot and have not experienced the problem you have described for Opera.
I often face this issue too. While watching videos, and with multiple wondows open, Opera crashes.
Criskelo 4.04 ICS LRK v11.2, LRK Modem, speedmod k3-13 kernel, Carrier: AT&T (US)
fix permissions if you have a cwm kernel,
that doesnt fix it then download phantom of the opera, watch it and wait till the fat lady sings. No fat lady sings?
Continue, delete data, uninstall opera, reinstall,(proper way, not through recovering)
Bug reproducable? Check logcat, and submit together with bug to Opera so they can fix from Opera end.
It may be a rom issue, so list rom, versions and such as well as opra versions. lol.

Hey, since I have galmin, I noticed some weird behavior of browser. No matter what rom I'm using, it closes by itself. It's not force close, it just takes me to homescreen, like I have pressed home button. When I start it again, it takes me to google... I just want to ask, did anyone else seen something like that on their phone? I think it might be related to ram management but I can't be sure

right, i forgot to add that it happens only on stock browser, and using something else is not a solution for me i just want to know if it happens to someone else too, and why it happens. it's not like browser closes itself every day, maybe twice a week tops? so it's not bothering me that much. and no, i'm not using any scripts or battery savers.
its on stock browser only..happened to me mostly on CM7 builds idk why..now am using andro-id so its a lil less..but it deffinitely happens..and happened in froyo too..Its not regular problem but happens sometimed like 2/3 times a week..So never thought of it as a serious problem

Yes is happened also to me but only on this forum if i go on full site from stock browser and i've found the way for "fix" this issue and the ways for "fix" this issue in my case are 2:
1. Use adaway for remove the ads from internet.
2. Deactivate the javascript.
and then all works good, however don't i've understood the exact reason of this issue but is sure that too ads freeze the stock browser.

I guess that bcause the stock browser use a too high amount of ram, so it will close itself if system is in low memory state.

Yes...but in my case this happens only when there too ads and only on full site of this forum happens that the stock browser it closes itself then i think that too ads eat too ram and then the browser it freeze and it closes itself because if i use adaway or disable the javascripts this don't happens anymore.

To much image to load its make stock browse lag then close its self, because browser make a big chace on system.
I always found this problem while browsing, not only on GingerBread, you can found it on ICS to.
do reset chace and cookies before browsing, and if the stock browser feel little lag than before, back to homescreen and delete it from recent app then open it again. you cant try this method on gingerbread because GB doesnt have recent app layout.
Recent app layout on ICS looks like taskmanager but not same with taskmanager.

From what i've read seems like a regualr problem, Just picked the phone myself, But when playing things like Temple Run 2, Candy Crush & Tapped out, the phone just cuts out.
Problem has happened with Stock ROM, and on CM 10.1.
What am I best doing?
Sometimes apps can close on their own if Android is running out of free memory. Check to see how many processes you have running and free up some memory before you start the game by closing running apps . There are so many memory cleaner & app manager apps but the best I have found is a very basic app called fmr memory cleaner and then I use SystemCleanup by inteks which is the best cache cleaner out of so many that I've tried. So if this is the reason your apps are closing this should fix the problem.
U shud try a kernel with no ram hack

I use GO Task Manager to clean up my RAM memory. They have a nice little widget which shows the percentages of RAM in use. Click the button (might have to click it 2 times every once in a while) and you'll see the percentage go down. This might help clear up some RAM for your games.
If this doesn't help, try reinstalling the ROM, preferably with a full whipe (remember to back up your data, just in case).

Probably means you've got quite a lot of background apps running and they're causing this issue. I've personally never come across this issue on my tx, but it was a regular occurrence when I had my arc s.

Even I am facing this problem recently. I also had an Arc s before tx. But this phone is a much better performer and has been really smooth. Free RAM is around 300mb , I do clear RAM and running apps are also not that much. Still cant figure out what could have gone wrong. I have rooted my phone and slight modifications have been made ( changed the on screen button theme ) but this issue has cropped up recently.
Depends on the app your running(those ram hungry), try opening a couple of tab pages in chrome and your launcher will surely reload if you go back to home screen. I'm a heavy user of chrome and this has been a normal thing already for me.

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.
