apps on startup

hi guys was just wondering if there is a way to change how apps there are running on startup, because i noticed that whenever i turn my phone on it takes a while for everything to fullly load. i checked my task killer app only to find all of my apps were running which is why i think it takes a while to load after being turned on. i think i saw a thread on here a while ago but i can seem to find it. thanks in advance.

bump someone must be able to give me an answer...even if its to say that it isnt possible.

You can use TaskPanel, which is free on the market, works sort of like task killer but better, you can add programs to an autokill list and it stops them from running services until you want them too. I use it for my craigslist app cause I never set alerts on it but it's always running in the background which I don't need.

ok thanks will try that now

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.

[Q] Why does applications "Maps" and "Sms" keep starting?

Hi,
I notice that even if I kill applications "Maps" and "Sms" they keep showing in the list. I guess they are restarted by something. I have my GPS turned on but surely that should not start Maps? And I'm using Handsent for my messaging - not Sms.
Any advices?

Don't quote me on this but I always thought that 3rd party messaging apps need the stock app running to work correctly

Sounds reasonable, then I'm only left with why Maps is restarting
Thanks.

Lately I've noticed a lot of apps myself that never used to start by themselves doing so now. Even after shutting them down in settings they seem to start up again. The only way I've found around this so far is to clear cache and data. Clearing data is a bit of a pain because it means entering user names and passwords again everytime you wanna use the app. If there is a better solution I'd also be interested to know. As far as I know from my own experience none of the app killing apps out there really work and I've tried a good few.

Hope you are not right. I'd hate to reset Maps. On the other hand I dont want it to use 25% of the battery doing nothing as it does now!

call me stupid, but i think the device is preloading all the system apps...

No that I'm seeing "Maps" in the application list without starting it is a new experience. And surely a navigation application is not a system app...

Got it!
My GPS was lit (as it should be), and if the "Maps" application is set to automatically register my locations it will fire Maps when the GPS is lit. Disable the GPS or disable the automatics in Maps and it all works
Thanks.

with system apps i ment the default apps that are preinstalled on your device / rom...
and it does preload these ^^

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.

p9 keep closing all apps also after nougat update, how disable auto/force closing?

ive already disabled battery authorization and autoclosing for any app but also after nougat update this phone keep closing apps that should stay in background and never close with other phones, what can i do to disable auto closing of apps? theres any way or with this phones its impossible?
also the manufacturer smart features like answer when you put the phone close to ear or silent ringtone when you put te phone upsidedown are auto close and you need to restart the phone or disable re enable them from settings

My P9 does that too. I'd be happy if it'd let me select apps to leave alone, like Orbot, I2P, Servers Ultimate, Limbo x86 emulator etc.
Apart from that, it's a great phone (bought it after my Galaxy S5 Amoled screen crapped out when cold, worked fine warmed up again! Looks like Huawei are going to be offering LCD screens on most of their phones.
Just found it after first attempt at posting reply, it's in: Phone Manager then Protected Apps, you can select them individually, or all together.
On an unrelated point, I read that that the backup utility even backs up app data, also their phone clone app migrates apps to a Huawei phone, even app data if the old one was a Huawei too. Have you tried any of that, does it work?

Mine too, how come nobody else noticed that. Would like to have a fix for that. 3Gb RAM should be more then enough, cmon..
The most annoying is that it closes music apps as soon as you shut the display but if you promptly switch it back on and put music playing and shut again it will stay.
Really weird. And It doesn't help if you put the app to stay in settings and put a lock on an app in running app drawer, it closes it anyways.

I don't have such problem in mine, everything works fine

I had the same problem and I have found out that custom launcher is causing app reload. I was using nova launcher and tried few others, and now I am back to Huawei stock launcher and it's good.
I had the problem that it is not closing the apps but whenever i come back to some app it starts's reloading the content from start.
