Apps with a mind of their own

After own my device for a couple weeks, numerous stock apps have started opening themselves. The main offenders are social networking, media share, maps, google search, Google+ huddle, mobile hotspots, email and gmail, along with a couple downloaded apps. This never used to happen. I did notice it was around the same time as I got the Facebook update, which also never closes now. Anyone know how to prevent this. I don't use most of these apps and don't need them using up my ram

factory reset, or root and install minfree and tweak it to your liking
auto mem manager doesnt work for crap

This is my first android and I've got some hesitation on rooting since I have the Canadian xt860 and the all the efforts of root and more importantly recovery, should I brick my device, are based on the Droid 3, or xt862

Open the Task Manager App and go to the Auto-End List tab. you can add apps that you want to be killed automatically after the screen is off for 2 minutes. It works well for social networking because i think different apps that you use opens it in the background and it never closes, and its constantly gathering your GPS info.
Also Juice Defender is good to turn off your data connection while the screen is off so apps running data like that will only be able to sync when you want. And not randomly turn on/continue running while your phone is in your pocket.

Not all the apps can be set on the auto end list, social networking and mobile hotspot for example. Although I think the biggest question I have is why is this happening?

my mistake i have social location on the auto end list not social networking i got them mixed up. a lot of apps are launched in the background by other apps or launched at startup. My understanding is it is the way that Android helps it open faster the next time you need to.

Ya except I don't use them ever so I don't care if they open faster. I know rooting would solve my problem but until there's a little more support for the xt860 I'm not willing to risk bricking my device. I just thought it was odd it all of a sudden started. Someone had said do a factory reset. What does a factory reset wipe. Would I lose all my paid apps?

(Q) ANY Jawbone Owners?

I just picked up an era and the only thing I don't like about it is the long press of the function button brings up voice dial, but the native program it opens is svoice. At first I thought that would be ideal, but it take literally 5 seconds before I can speak a name. I would much rather have the function button open gnow.
How do I change this?

I have both the Jawbone Era and Big Jambox. Unfortunately, I never set up any voice dialing. Maybe it's something you can change if you connect the Era to the PC and open it up in MyTalk.

I know if you delete s voice then Google voice search comes up instead, does work better than s voice, just no voice texting feature

Ok now I have a new issue. The era will connect to phone, then to media, then instantly disconnects from media. I was playing music all day without issue, but now I can't get it to connect to media.
And no, I don't have cpu access currently so I can't connect it and check the my talk settings.
Any ideas?

I tried this but when I hit the push to talk button it just freezes and then shuts down?

I found an app called bluetooth launch from the play store (free) that allows me to assign any function I want to the smart button. I was able to assign google voice search but it's still clumsy. I think I'm gonna give svoice another shot, but the issue I have is that whenever I hit the button it takes like 7 seconds before it listens for my command.

Auto Rotate Lag in KK

Guys, any of you seeing the lag in auto rotate after the kitkat update? It's ridiculous to the point I've just turned it off. I'm talking like 5 secs for orientation to change. Plus when I open the messages app and the phones in portrait, it goes straight to landscape. -I'm thinking because at some point within the last 10 seconds the phone was oriented differently.
Is there a fix? Would rather not reset. ..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

I'm not having any trouble with my auto-rotate, I just checked in like 8 apps just to make sure. But I am have a lag issue where when I am in the conversation list in messaging and open a conversation, it lags like 5 seconds until the text bubbles load.

Hmm Def strange. It's the worst for me in the messages app. I was looking on the t mobile forums and there are quite a few complaining about it there.
If it's not affecting everyone I'm optimistic that a reset might fix it...

Issue is definitely with the messages app.

Moto display/hangouts thread issue

Whenever I open a message In hangouts directly from the moto display screen, it automatically goes to the top of the thread rather than the bottom where the new message is.
This does not happen when opening hangouts from the Android lockscreen or when the phone is unlocked, so I'm assuming it's a moto display issue. Anyone else have this?
Sent from my XT1095 using XDA Free mobile app

I have this happen but not all the time. It also happens sometimes on my nexus 4 and 7, so I think it is a Google bug that came with the new material design version of hangouts.
Sent from my XT1095 using XDA Free mobile app

It happens every time for me. It's annoying, but if you got to read the message when you were on moto display and know what your reply is going to be you can just type it in and hit enter and it jumps to the bottom of the thread. Definitely annoying though.

Temporary lock on smartlock doesn't work.

Hi XDA, I'm new to this, and I finally decided to use XDA since I've found lots of use out of it. In search for a good android support community I think I found one. I have a nexus 6 with smart lock enabled. Usually you can push the little lock icon on the lock screen to lock your phone with the pin even if you are at a trusted location or connected to a trusted device etc. I used to use this a lot, but it just stopped working one day. Unfortunately I don't know when or what could have caused it. I am not aware of any setting that toggles it and I don't get any error, just no response when I click it. Although I don't think its the cause, I am rooted, I have twrp, tasker, and titanium backup with nothing important frozen. I would really appreciate the help and would like to avoid wiping my phone to fix this. If that's what I need to do then so be it, its really annoying though!
Thanks,

Are you using a smart watch for smartlock? do you have tasker disabling bluetooth?

Thank you for your reply. No i do not have a smart watch (anymore) and I disabled tasker and restarted to see if it had caused any issues.
