Does anyone else have this weird memory problem. So I start my day off with my in use program memory at about 49%. Check a couple emails, turn on my wifi, make a few calls and by noon my in use program memory creeps up and up. I close all applications and have nothing running and keeps going up till my TC is virtually freezing up. Any insight?
Thanks,

Well, Windows Mobile alone usually does not close apps. It only minimizes them.
Make sure you have installed HTC Task Manager aka HTC X Button or another task manager like WkTASK. These apps have the ability of really closing the app and thus making memory available.

Do you have it set to close apps on X tap, close apps on tap and hold or disabled?

Then try switching to WkTask. In my opinion it's the best task manager available for the mobile. Amongst other things, it shows you cpu usage and running processes.

ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.
There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.
just downloading now will update on what its like
that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand
Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.
yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.
setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me
Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.
thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

I guess google will be your friend ^_^ [hint: search: benefits on rooting android]
Your question about rooting almost applies to all devices and not just this phone alone ^_^
others can add as well...
Download any easy to use system app uninstaller. I used Root Uninstaller, even though it gets kinda buggy sometimes. Back up your apk before uninstalling it, in case something goes wrong and you need it. Also freeze the apk if you think that uninstalling it will cause serious problems.
you can uninstall any bloatware ifyou have any, or other system apps which chomp away at your battery life with their running services. just be careful not to remove anything important.
Download a CPU app which changes your CPU frequency to conserve battery. SetCPU is what I use. SetCPU also provides a pretty detailed explanation to how to use their apk on their website. While you're at it, you can download an overclocking apk as well if you think it lags sometimes when you play games or have alot apps running.
I use the apk, Milestone Overclock. It is simple and works.
This is what I've done after rooting, just giving a few suggestions.
Thanks....Can we increase our app memory? Can I install more than 175mb?

For the app memory problem, download any kinda app that has the keyword APP 2 SD/ Apps2sd. Theres several free apps out there that can do this, and paid apks floating around the internet as well. This is just one of them: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&hl=en
It moves your applications into your SD so that you can free up your internal phone storage. The downside of that is sometimes if you connect phone to your usb, you will have no access to the apk on your phone.
ex. if you move texting app to SD, when your computer has access to USB, the cannot work.
So, just move accordingly. Not really much of a big deal.
Hello
Just checked. App 2 Sd is incmpactable with my Milestone XT 720
Now, how rooting or any app help can help me?
P.s - I am sorry to keep bugging u. I hope, m in compliance with forum rules

App2SD only works in 2.2 or higher. I think you're running the stock 2.1 with root? If so, look for an app called Link2SD. You will have to partition your SD card with an additional FAT partition, but otherwise it's very similar to App2SD (it's actually superior in many respects, really).
Thankyou. Yea...All Milestone XT 720 are 2.1 . I have installed Link2SD...Now, how to create partition? Btw, is rooting important for this app n procedure?

Read my thread this will help you. Androidiani has an option to remove the camera click.
Also reverend is a valued member of this forum and his videos have helped all of us. Please refrain from calling something you dont understand fishy.

You can get rid of the camera click sound by going into /system/media/audio/ui and delete the camera_click.oog file or rename it to something else (like .goo) so you don't have to delete it.
Obviously make backups before doing this though.
Yes guys...! Finally problem is solved guys. I got one paid app on market 'ram manager' which has special features to control ur ram. Especially it has option for multitasking with non killing apps. Means u can now multitask & still ur apps will run in background until you choose it to close. I have tested it since 1 hour. I have opened gallary, ucbrowser, opera mobile & go launcher (above mentioned every app is so much ram hungry app). And I am amazed that even after 1 hour all apps are still opened. Its really so amazing guys Really its a worth app.
Here is link of that app.

I am really fed up of this problem. I surf alot xda using opera. Opera mobile nearly take 30-40 mb ram. So for me I get nearly 130-140 mb free ram. But even though when I try to open some other apps then automatically android closes opera. So I have to reopen it. No problem in re-opening an app but then it start to load links which I have been surfing which really annoying me ::
I want simple multi tasking like nokia which keep open every app until u choose it to close it. I am really impressed with multi tasking of nokia.
Can anybody provide a solution, app or script or anything which will KEEP APP IN OPEN STATE until I choose it to close it ?? I searched on net. I found same complaints on net related to android muti tasking...!!! I dont use any task killer app.

try this. I don't know if it's only the paid version that allows exempting, but it's worth a shot. once you go into the processes, you can click the browser specifically and click to change it from "excluded (no)" to "excluded (yes)". this should make it exempt from android's method of memory recovery (not a task killer app)
Are you using this? Try disabling it and see what happens.
You can do it from terminal emulator:
Code:
su
chmod -x /system/etc/init.d/S95allinone
and if you want to re-enable it:
Code:
su
chmod +x /system/etc/init.d/S95allinone
(reboot your phone of course)
I had the same ques initially

Q
Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone actually found a solution to this problem? I've tried supercharger, minfree manager, RAM manager pro, and Galaxy Tuner. None have proven to be an actual solution to the problem that seems to be baked right in to the heart of all versions of Android after eclair.
Is this at all fixable?

Sorry I forgot to follow up, a solution has been found after many hours of searching: using the "Xposed app settings" add-in for the Xposed Framework will let you whitelist applications from Android's "banhammer of destruction" and it works particularly well on devices with little free ram.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to inform you about two apps I found recently that appear to boost performance and battery life a bit.
The one that boosts performance is a better and more efficient version of Seeder. It's called SeFix and (as opposed to Seeder) really does seem to work!
The second (the battery booster) is actually way more versatile:
It's called Greenify and it lets you disable apps to run in the background.
Eg. I set it to decline the Google Maps request to run in the background all the time; because as we all know, Maps often sucks somewhere near 7% of the battery.
(However, it needed me to root uninstall it and then install it from the play store, so it wasn't a system app anymore)
Anyway: I hope this helped and that it makes your device nicer to use (like it did for me)
Last but not least: as you are probably aware: Orange Backup is a backup app that lets you do complete (CWM or TWRP style backups) without having to go into the recovery!
Really awesome.
I guess you could use it for Facebook too, to keep it from running in the background all the time.
Or... You could also *not* use Facebook and switch to cooler social media, such as Google+

You might have to root uninstall it and then reinstall it from the Play Store (to get rid of the 'system app' issue).

Never happened to me.
Are you using data2sd?
Maybe it's confused because of the switch?
I can only say that it works like a treat for me and that it makes these backups quite fast considering that it doesn't need to boot into recovery.
Have you tried contacting the developer? He's called snoopy333 and is to be found in the original thread. Maybe he can tell you what's going on?
Thank you for sharing the existence of greenify.

How do I block the playstore?
Titanium Backup does not turn me or makes user application and remains in system application.

Yeah like I said: go into Titanium Back-up, select Google Maps and convert it to user app (or root uninstall Maps and reinstall it through the Play Store)
Afterwards, you should be able to select it for Greenify!
