Hi Everyone,
I have big problem which is i cannot close apps. When im done with app i cant close them. I push back button, but it just send app to background. So it is still working and draining battery all the time.
I have same problem with every app. I have Advanced Task Killer Pro but i dont want to use it all the time. It is ridiculous.
And some apps are restart after i close them with Advanced TK Pro. Like Letsgolf,postcard.. I dont want those. I will uninstall them if i can..
I need to close apps when im done with app and uninstall some other apps. Is there any solution for that ? Because it is really annoying and big problem. Simply draining battery..
Thank you for reading.
Best regards.

Hey guys, I've managed to download Daily Challenge from the get more widgets option and its on my home screen... but its just blank, how do I get it to work? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers. im on complete stock 2.2.1...
The only thing I've seen cause problems like that with widgets is when a task killer is being used (either manual or automatic), and the TK kills the task that is needed to run the widget.
I dont have a task killer installed...just bought the phone yesterday...even tried a hard reset...
Brand new to Android coming from iOS. Battery life is an issue. Reading up. Ran Carat and found the Battery Percentage App I installed was identified as a Battery Hog itself! Going to run a couple more days before using something like JuiceDefender Plus.
How essential are these processes?
GO SMS Pro (does it always have to be running? should I dump it and go back to stock messaging app?)
HTS Sense (assume no way around this except custom ROM)
TegraZone
Google Services
Media
Maps (Haven't even run G Maps once yet!)
Swiftkey 3 - wow, takes up 19MB. Hope it is really THAT much better than HTC keyboard?
And odd thing is that in many cases, I can't see how you close the app, let alone, REALLY close it. Of course this was no different than iOS, when you closed it, it still was in memory in the background so it would resume when you brought it back up. On iPhone you press the Home button to close it and go back to the spring board. Same here? I know - dumb newbie question.

It's not a dumb question at all. Android uses a different system to manage memory, and does a good job. To get better battery life, look at your settings and turn off automatic syncing, gps, location services, etc. The problem is that not all the time you will have wifi/data. The phone constantly is looking for data and that uses battery as well. You can kill the maps in the task manager, but it might restart itself when you reboot and update the app, and there's no way around this unless you root your phone.
To find the task manager, go into the apps menu, and look for Task Manager. You can completely kill apps from there, but I wouldn't worry about it too much, android does a good job most of the time. For those apps that are stubborn it's good for.
If you don't want to root, try going into settings and then apps. You can disable apps that you might consider "bloatware" such as AT&T apps and youtube, etc.

Actually on iPhone you don't just press home, you double click home hold the app when a minus comes up then you close it.wow I never knew how many clueless people could be with an iphone..anyways for the HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated
Ya, I knew how to close apps in background on iPhone, just didn't explain it right. To bad there's nothing close to Intelliscreen X for Android. Really miss the collapsible notification widgets on the lockscreen. Widgetlock with Tesla Unread Counter is a step in the right direction. I guess with such a small screen the iPhone developers have always been forced to get creative with how the apps use screen space. Those guys at Intelliborn really pulled off an amazing app. Too bad none of the people that have not jailbroken their iPhones can use it.
Battery life is much much better now (still in first 24 hours of usage). Not sure what I had running, but it could have been the Battery Percentage App I downloaded that Carat listed on the Battery "Hogs" list that I uninstalled. Ironic a battery meter would cause much more battery drain. Unfortunately I read than on HTC they have no option to switch to % where other phone do. Haven't used JuiceDefender Plus yet, but maybe that will give me the info. The battery icon is so worthless for knowing "really" how much you have left except for a general estimate.
Oh and THANKS on the swipe up thing. Is there a "must know" guide for "power users" coming over from iOS to Android/Jelly Bean that would tell me more of this stuff. I never would have guessed it and was flip through the apps wondering "how the hell to I close all these?" Still in my first day though. Man this phone is fast.
Well, battery was doing great then I wasn't doing much with phone and could feel it get hot. I watched Battery go from 85-65 in about 30 minutes! I went into Carat and saw high CPU, but you can't see from Carat what is eating the CPU so downloaded Android Task Manager, great app. Used realtime processes report. Of course #1 CPU eater is the Process Monitor itself (only when you are looking at it). But I was seeing the PowerAmp "Service", "Music Enhancer" and "Sound Set" and "HD Widgets" all very active in CPU usage. Wasn't using PowerAmp or HD Widgets. Haven't even used any of the widgets!
Is there something other than carat that will give me an average CPU usage say in the last hour of all the background services and processes so I can determine what's eating the battery in a short period of time - or am I stuck just looking at realtime process info?
It looks like from a brief search PowerAmp service is "normal". I have a HUGE MP3 library of 3000 songs I just synced yesterday - is gradually processing them or something? I also downloaded Neutron Player. Both have excellent sound quality but the Neutron interface is geeky - PowerAmp more like iTunes but I'm an Audiophile so if I have to go to Neutron to avoid this PowerAmp "Service" from eating my battery from time to time I will.
I've been using the app button and the swipe up a lot now to clear out apps - but like iPhone I'm guessing in most cases it doesn't make a huge difference as Android, like iOS sort of sleeps the background apps anyway. Or should I be in the habit of checking and closing background apps not being used? It seems the "services" are what can cause the issue more (other than foreground apps). Still learning. Bare with me.
I'm not a gamer. If there was a setting (without needing root/custom ROM) to underclock the CPU a little, I'd probably take that for more batter life. Seems on the One X+ I'm guessing much of the extra battery capacity is offset by the higher clocked processor! It's probably just a matter of me finishing getting the phone configured the way I want, stop adding apps, then debug the CPU/Battery hogs and uninstall, change settings, or start using JuiceDefender. My guess.
Feel like such a newbie. Found the built-in Android Battery Usage screen. Shows Android Task Manager as using it the most! But I was having the hot temp/battery drain before I even installed that! Second is the Android OS. Third is WL Theme Viewer. That makes sense as that WidgetLock Theme view app created a big database. But the battery drain continued after it was done! Then Sounds Set, HTC Sence, Google Play Store, Carat, HD Widgets. What the hell is HD Widgets doing? So no jump out culprits - except Sound Set seems suspicious!
as my view i got some cool and awesome app to Ram optimisation......
*fast reboot
*clean master
*advance taskkiller

In my opinion, almost every task killer app works in the same way. So there is not much difference there. U may like the interface of one more than another but they do the same thing.
The problem with task managers is that they kill the running apps randomly. I noticed that some apps which have to run in the background simply restart after they are killed. It is simply useless to use task killers in my opinion unless b4 running heavy apps/games.
I suggest u greenify them or use titanium to freeze unwanted ones.
Hit thx.

bro! messenger facebook and whatsapp only consuming more ram usage any idea to reduce it??
A110 needs only 2 apps:

Greenify best
Xtreme booster (which is my favorite )

going to try this
Greenify is the best. It automatically starts the apps if it gets a GCM push(example when a message arrives). It might not work for some apps cause they don't use GCM.
Es task manager

memory booster
memory booster is good for memory management
So its pretty simple but im not developer so i don't really know for sure.
First you set up what system apps and normal apps you want to freeze and kill(optional)
Then you tap app what you want to boost and gamebooster freezes/kills those apps.
I have noticed that some system apps cause medium lag(play store for example) but they get back soon so again lag.
Tell me if someone starts doing this and sorry if this is just a stupid idea.

Recently I have download some apps that would have to run in the background
Apps :
Lockdown pro
Tasker
Lookout
Slidelock
Open mic+
However after some time, these get forced without any notifications
For slide lock, accessibility off after some time which makes "forced" closed.
I have been finding what is the problem or a solution to this problem but there hasn't not been any concrete solutions.
Possible reasons:
-1GB ram
-MIUI ROM
-???
Please I need help for this problem. Thanks in advanced!
My best guess for you is that you run out of ram. Do you use other ram-intensive apps? I'd just make sure you're clearing the apps out of your recents once you close out of them.

After reading your reply , I tried not enabling an app in the background to see if all the apps would be disabled again.
Currently , I off tasker and the apps doesn't seem to force close.
Anyway , thanks!

I think it is not low ram issue.... may be app or OS and processer are not compatible with each others

With lockdown pro can you act that apps are FC so maybe you have setted that up?
