Samsung i5800(galaxy 3): Lag in opening contacts/favorites - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Dear All,
I recently bought the samsung galaxy 3 and I notice a lag of around 2 seconds (sometimes could be more) to go to favorites or contacts or call log, when I press the phone button from start screen.
I only have around 150 contacts so this should not be a problem, and I have only installed only one application (a dictionary) from the market.
Any help about resolving the lag issue would be great!
Thank you and wish best to all

I have the same problem

Hold home button for task manager? Possible?

Hey.
Hold home button for task manager? Possible?
I am talking about just like the Vibrant, where you would hold the home button and then task manager would come up, where you could END ALL apps?
Is it possible on G2X?
Thanks.
actually, holding home on the g2x brings up the recently used apps for faster transition. its not used to end/kill apps. just to switch between 8 recently used apps.
Why are you using a task manager?

I don't know if either of you understand his question. The vibrant, stock, would bring up recently used apps like most other android phones, but also had a button on that "recent apps" pop-up that took you to the built in task manager that touchwiz had. This would allow you to kill any programs that were still actively running in the background.
I don't have an answer for your question though, sorry. I think that's a touchwiz only(and possibly sense) thing.

Active Applications in the market. Its free.
Its exactly like the vibrsnts task manager.
And don't worry about defending yourself to these people.
They did not understand my love for the vibrants task manager.
They ALL ripped me
But you want to be able to kill task like browser which does not close with the back button like other apps.
Yet leave the apps that would reopen alone. Just like the OFFICIAL Samsung task manager.
Active Applications.
Your welcome in advance my friend.

Actually doesn't CM7 have the ability to choose which program launches on long presses? I don't use task managers but I'm pretty sure I played with those in a long time.
Outside of CM7, I know there are other sneaky apps in the market to achieve the same effect.
On my cheap android tablet I bought for my son, he had the habit of running a game, hitting home, and launching another one. So I installed a task manager to kill all apps while the screen was off.
Sure it might not be the best idea on a PHONE but it worked VERY well for saving battery life. I think if you excluded the proper apps, you could gain the same results.
This, coupled with SetCPU, did wonders. Night and day difference.

HELP! Applications keep opening. Killing battery

I have advance task killer and I close apps frequently through out the day. For some strange reason there are 30+ apps running when I'm only using 10 of at the most or a little more. How can I keep them from opening after they have been terminated???
My S3 is starting to move slow and I don't like it One bit!!!
One of the cardinal rules of Android is to never use a task killer......
As you have found out, the apps just open again anyway & all that open/closing will absolutely kill your battery life.

Don't use a task killer, especially on Froyo and above.
Task killers are totally counter-productive in Android.
Android does a great job of memory management all by itself, just let it do its thing & don't worry about it.
Never use ATK. Wastes more battery then the apps themselves.
As everyone else has said, using a task killer makes things worse, not better.
What everyone has said about not using task killer plus, exit apps using the back button and not home if you want to close them. That way they will exit rather than stay in memory. Also, if you really want to dump everything out of memory then hold in home>task manager>end all.
And it's moving slowly since the task killer kills the app so the app relanches itself. Killed, relaunch, killed relaunch, killed relanch. Now multiply that by 10 or 20 or 30 apps and it's a wonder your CPUand RAM haven't melted yet.
There's a stock option in 'settings-developer settings' to limit background processes. Also to kill any app you leave right away.

I have an app called Eva which is a voice assistant. I believe ics is sometimes closing the app when its in the background, because the widget for the app is not responsive and has no text sometimes and works fine other times. I don't know of anyway in ics to set an exception in the task management to never close this app or its background process. Any way to get around this without a 3rd party task killer? Or is there any way to see a log of what ics is killing in the background to confirm my suspicion?

It's probably the apps problem I'd contact their user support.

[REQUEST] Quick App Launcher like Samsung tablets

I used a rom on my Transformer TF101 that had this kinda ported but I don't see it anywhere else.
Basically it is an app that just pops up with a "folder" of assigned icons. Similar to like an ALT-TAB app but displays custom apps vs recent apps.
The Samsung devices have this in the middle of the bottom tablet-mode status mode. I've been looking for even a simple app that I would map to a softkey... but I just can find anything.
Is there anything that can popular a window of apps that can be mapped to a button or can someone with some serious skills create an app that works similar to the Samsung Quick App panel? It was super handy to go between apps without going back to the launcher.
I know you could basically launch everything once and use the built in taskmanager to flip back and forth, but it doesn't solve launching new apps quickly.

Random Menu Bar appeared on phone?

Hi just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this random menu bar that's appeared on my phone? I've closed all applications with es task manager and it's still there. I'm running Jellybeans on a galaxy note 2
If anyone can direct me where to get rid of it would be most appreciated.
Cheers guys!
Do you mean the bar on the side with the icons?
I think the phone has TSF shell launcher, try a launcher like apex or nova

If that doesn't work you can try this app
I had a app popup as the playstore, and it was a spam type popup from an app i installed a long time ago, DOWNLOAD AIRPUSH detector also as a double check if experience any abnormal popups to your GUI . it found the app and i uninstalled it ASAP (it was a workout app)
That popup is not abnormal, it is a feature of the last update. It's called multi-card, and allows you to manage 2 or more applications simultaneously on the screen; if you drag one of the icons on the desktop it opens the corresponding application, and if you drag another will open the new application under the one that is opened before
That's amazing cheers guys! It was properly bothering me becaues it would pop up every now and then and I didn't know why!
Is it possible to add other applications to the selection to use in multi windows?

[APP][2.2+] flashME - never miss a phone call or text again

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lovetere.flashme
flashME will be your light notification in your Android phone.
The flashlight embedded in your device will promptly blink as your phone is ringing, or a new text has been received. Moreover, you can set/unset the flashlight blinking for each different notification event (Facebook or Twitter update, calendar alert, any other apps events). You can decide to have your light notification only when your cell phone is upside down, and the light will continue blinking till you get the notification.
This app is greatly helpful for people with hearing disabilities.
Some features may require the full version.
The app was tested on:
- Samsung Galaxy Nexus,
- Samsung Galaxy Note,
- Samsung Galaxy S2*,
- Samsung Galaxy S3*,
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1,
- Sony Xperia miro.
We are aware that flashME could not properly work with some device configurations. This is not a bug, and the issue could be fixed after a custom device configuration. Please contact the developer for any feedback and any further comments.
(*) If you buy the full version with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 the following procedure is required to fix a problem with TalkBack: go to Settings -> Application manager -> All - Disable Google TTS (text to speech) - Disable Samsung TTS (text to speech).

Released v.1.0.3.2
Fixed a problem with in-app purchase
Good app, was going to make one w/ Tasker but found this. (donated via in app purchase) one suggestion though... Would like to see an option to set hibernation times. Don't need my flashlight going off all night.
Good app though! I will use the orientation setting though till I see hibernation option. Thanks
Edit: you can add that your app has been tested and works on the HTC EVO 4G LTE running CM 10.1 toasted deck build from IRC 2.15.13 (4.2.2). (i.e. Works and does what it's supposed to do)

The notification feature of flashME works on my Galaxy SII, but I seem to have one problem. After I give the application permissions under accessibility, voice notifications turn on automatically, telling me things like "folder open", "menu one of three" and so on.
Is there a way to turn this feature off while flashME is running?
