Can someone tell me why android doesn't close apps?

honestly i find this really annoying, especially to the average person tha doesn't think to go download a task manager and kill everything after doing anything on the phone so your battery lasts more than 6 hours.
here's a simple logic i'd like to use.
if you use the "back" button to exit an application, kill it.
if you use the "home" button to leave an application, don't kill it until you go back to it and use "back" to exit. or kill it with a task manager.
like why hasn't someone implemented this? close or minimize its as simple as that people. i really hope the android developers listen to me on this one.
im sure nobody would be happy if microsoft came out with an update that disabled the X and you could only minimize applications or kill them with the task manager. come on. thats why i'm not totally satisfied with android yet.

How else would you have multi-tasking? Most of the stuff I use, I would rather it not close just because I had to check my calendar, or reply to a text.

just hit the home button to minimize it. hit back to close it. select the app again after minimizing it to open it again. simple. or if you're worried about having to go find the app again, just have the app minimize to the notification area. but personally, i'd just close everything and go back to it

.
that is a good idea should shoot google an e-mail. but its be diffrent from phone to phone as not all are the same(while most do have a home button)

I like what Dolphin Browser does, how if you hold back (as opposed to just clicking it) you close the application. I think that would work great if implemented universally.

well then could someone create an app that for all applications, holding back will actually kill the app?

Being able to multitask has nothing to do with having the ability to close the application I don't need running anymore.

how abt remapping that search button that i rarely ever use to close an application. that sounds more plausible, then we can leave the back and home button the way they are (sometimes, u just want to go back, not close an app)

Dude, no one has to write an application for that. There are a lot of applications in the Market that can KILL running apps on your phone. A few examples:
- Free Advanced Task Manager (also has a Widget that requires a single press to end running/useless apps)
- Task Manager
- Advanced Task Killer Free
- Automatic Task Killer
...and MANY MANY MANY MANY MORE! It will take a day to review them all and find the one you like the best. That MANY!
And what you really wanted to say is that the developers SHOULD implement an EXIT function in the application (some have it). If the user doesn't want for the application to run anymore, will use the EXIT function! Simple as that
If someone doesn't like multi-tasking, can always get one of those EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND USELESS iPhones

like i said, it'd be really annoying to have no X button on the top right of every window, and the only way to exit something would be to open the task manager. and potentially kill something that's keeping track of something.
i am aware of all the apps. its just really annoying. every time i do something i go and find the task bar and kill everything.
by the way when i said back should close the app, i meant the back button still acts as the back button until it goes back to the desktop. then when it goes back to the desktop it closes it.

i like this, cuz normally the apps that i dont need anymore stay open and overtime make my phone slow and drains my battery, and i hate using taskiller cuz im using sense ui and taskiller kills everything meaning that i have to reboot the sense ui which takes a minute or two and itz annoying to go to taskiller and kill the apps one by one...

you need to set your exceptions in your task manager

On Android, when you use back or home to exit an application that application goes to "sleep" mode. That means it doesn't use processor and/or battery power.
There are a few exeptions of course, the calendar, mail, alarm clock, music (if you listen to music). These have to run in the backround to function correctly. If you kill the alarm application then your alarm won't go in the morning, etc...

How Android Works!!

Hi all,
I have a very basic query about android's general working. Please let me know if this is not the correct section to discuss this.
I read somewhere that apps do not exit in android and they go into inactive mode. I have a query here: It definitely eases the way to switching between the apps, however, doesn't it consumes more power in this case?
Basically, the discussion is about whether Task Managers are good or not?
Personally, I need to charge battery more frequently after uninstalling Automatic Task Killer from my phone. I am using Galaxy 3 with stock Android 2.1
Does anyone have this experience?

Generally apps running in the background don't consume any battery. Or consume very little if they're waiting on some event (i.e.to notify you of incoming message, etc.) And killing the app is counter productive because they'll usually restart themselves.
Apps that sync periodically are the ones that can consume battery if they're set to sync too often. Your task killer may have been stopping some of the syncing.

IMO task managers are not very useful. Android has it's own memory manager built in that will free up memory when needed. Here's a pretty good article discussing the matter.
http://androinica.com/2010/05/googl...-imply-task-killermanager-apps-are-pointless/
Personally, I try to control which apps are running in the background myself through the use of the home and back buttons. When you press the home button, the app remains in the background, able to be activated again quickly. If you press the back button, the app will exit and no longer be running (in rare cases, apps will take control of the back button so I can't say this happens for EVERY app). I almost always back out of programs, unless I know I'll be using it again soon. Hope this helps!

@ zeddicus225 - Yes. That Helps. Thanks.
@ rigman - Can you please explain, what you mean to say by "they'll usually restart themselves"?
How is this possible...please give an example for this where there is no application that sync itself and restart itself?
Also, I started this thread as my phone was getting slower irrespective of closing of all the apps by using Back button. Is there any solution or check for this?

Tasker APP Question

Hi Guys just wanted to ask some settings regarding Background Data and Market.
What I wanted to happen is I want to Setup Background Data to permanently OFF, then when I use Market it will automatically Set to ON is this possible with Tasker? how should I set this up with Tasker.

Yes this is a basic one. Do you mean all data off, or merely auto-sync off?
Start a new profile, with the context being an app, and choose market from the list.
Then when asked, choose new task, and select 'net' then choose mobile data =on, or wifi =on, or autosync = on, or all 3 depending on what you are after. Then create the profile.
With the new profile now in your list, touch the right-hand side, and select "add exit task" then basically do the opposite of whatever you turned on in the first step.
Now when market is opened, your data will turn on, and when you exit the market, it'll turn off.
If you get stuck I can create that profile and export it and post here for you to download and import.

Ah. Apologies it appears that Tasker is very very broken right now.
I've been beta testing ROMs like mad recently, and have not put Tasker back on for a while. I have just tried putting it back on, and none of the App related contexts are working. I have e-mailed Tasker support to see why. I'll let you know what the response is. In the mean time, I have tested a work-around which does work. We can use a Tasker widget. Those still work!
1. Open Tasker, and select the lightning icon to create a new Task (we are not creating a profile here). Name it "Market".
2. Create the following task:
Net> Mobile Data = On
Net> Wifi = On
Tasker> Wait = 2 seconds
App> Load App> Market
3. Before hitting the tick button to save it, select an icon for the widget. Do this by pressing the button that looks like a small multi-coloured chess board. Select 'App Icon' and scroll down to the Market and select it.
4. Now save the Task.
5. Back out of Tasker and back to your home page.
6. Long-press in an appropriate space to add a widget like you normally would. Scroll down the widget list and select 'Task'. It'll have the Tasker icon by it.
7. Select the 'Market' task you just created. It'll give you a quick preview of the settings of the Task. Hit the Tick button.
8. Now your widget is set, and it'll look very similar to the Market shortcut icon. Press this, and Tasker will turn your data on, wait 2 seconds (for a connection to be made) then open the Market.
9. If 2 seconds is not long enough, edit the Task to bump the wait up to 3 or 4 seconds. 2 seconds worked for me.
The only downside to this over a Profile, is that you'll have to manually turn the data back off afterwards. You could either use the HTC widgets, or create another widget using the above steps and just set it to turn off 3G and wifi in one go when pressed. Call it "Data Off" or something.
Hope this helps for now. I'm keen to see why Tasker seems to have gone wrong as I'm one of it's biggest advocates. I'll be sure to post back here when I've gotten to the bottom of it.

Done it. but I couldn't try it right now no Wifi Im outside the house lol will try this when i get home.
Hope tasker will get fixed soon I tried your first Instruction and I think I followed it correctly.
Thanks a lot
One more thing when I add the Widget an Error appears "Warning: couldn't save data, making backup on SD" is this Ok?

Yeah that's fine.
And I've had progress with Tasker not working on my phone. I changed the kernel I was using and it started working again! MDJ's Unity V4 Kernel works perfectly with Tasker.
What are you running? Are you s-off/rooted? I rooted my phone almost straight out of the box, so have never run Tasker on a stock kernel.
Thank you for your post as it has helped highlight something that I had missed in testing! Ironically I thought putting Tasker on a beta ROM would interfere with the bug finding process. We live and learn!

Oh mine's S-OFF and Rooted too, I'm currently using Virtuous Unity 2.37 I'm not sure if this is the Kernel I just looked over the "About Phone" it's 2.6.35.13-UNITY-V4-g4796564
oh it says [email protected] #2.. so I think we have the same Kernel? I'm not well aware of this stuffs or maybe I just need a working Wifi Connection still outside Ill be home in 5hrs..

Ah. It was putting unity v4 back on that fixed it. Perhaps try reflashing it.

I believe you've all misunderstood the OP. (or maybe I misunderstood him)
Tasker doesn't support turning OFF the Background Data setting under the Account & Sync option.
I am looking for an app that could turn this OFF and ON as well.. Don't know if AutomateIt supports it.

Yes unfortunately tasker can't yet turn this off, but with auto-sync turned off (which it can do) then battery drain and data usage are minimal. I don't think turning off both makes for a greater advantage.

Auto Hide Taskbar

Hey bro i get this app from the market Honeybar it work great with root access.
I work with touchwiz work 100%.
Program tested MX Video Player,Dolphin Browser HD.

It works well and I suggest using Button Savior in conjunction. Barely seen my taskbar in a week

Works pretty well, main problems I have with it are accidentally re-enabling the taskbar in games (tapping near the bottom), and also accidentally hiding it when trying to hit the 'menu' button in portrait mode. They're too close together so it's hard to avoid hitting it.
I asked the author about the possibility of other trigger locations, or gestures, and he responded but didn't sound like he planned to do anything soon.

I installed HB myself, and although it is nice in some ways to get the taskbar (I use that reference with tongue'in'cheeck) out of the way, there are too many apps I have that place "menu" in the location of the hidden button even when I set it to shift left. Many apps I have to rotate to landscape to get to the apps settings menu hidden behind the shift-left positioning for HB. It's just not a sound UI choice.
The option to just leave the taskbar hidden and use Button Savior is better, but it's like using one hack to make another one work halfway correctly in its effects. HB needs more development and it doesn't look like it's going to happen as of now.

Thanks very much for your info. Yeah... this Button Savior is a real true name in case of the HoneyBar's gone somewhere..

Problem I see with using Button Savior all the time is that you do lose the notifications.. and then it's still easy to accidentally bring back the real bar when playing games etc. Oh well.

I don't know about the games... the notification is hiding except the sound but the real trouble is when the call is coming.... you have to activate the task bar to bring back the panel "Answer or Denied" (!!!)

I did indeed get quite angry at the loss of notifications but I was able to (sort of) get around that by changing the screen density to 171 using Blade Buddy. This set me back to a 2.x launcher.
It doesn't really work 100% however as browser, Gmail, Google Talk will constantly crash. I was able to work around the browser by just getting another browser and Gmail by uninstalling the Honeycomb version of Gmail and installing the Gingerbread version. I didn't care enough to do anything more than uninstall Google Talk.
On the positive side I no longer have to deal with the taskbar. Ever.

Does the Gingerbread version have the Gingerbread UI? i.e. without the multi-paned stuff? I tried loading a Gingerbread version a while back but it didn't work (just crashed). I prefer Gingerbread style -- more room for the content rather than lists of labels.

Yes this is exactly my only issue with honeybar. it would be nice if we could choose the right side as the "offset". Even in portrait I have space just to the right of center that would allow access to honeybar on/off and not interfere with the menu on a lot of apps.

There's a much better way to do this. Using tasker, I have a profile set up that auto hides the toolbar for certain apps and then restores it automatically when I switch away from them.
Follow the instructions in this thread:

Yes but how do you switch away from them?

That is actually what I am trying to figure out how to do. I am trying to set it up when in specific apps it takes away the task bar but also only within these apps after something... (haven't really figured that out yet) happens it will bring it back for an exit. In a perfect world I would love to be able to press both volume buttons to close an app. Which in this case would be perfect but tasker can't do that...

I'm using task switcher pro. It lets you map a gesture to the back button or home button.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk

what might be cool is to "shake" device to bring back the bar.

you guy also can use AutomateIt... kind of like tasker but to me it more friendly user...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123423
and the pro version is cheaper too...

Using tasker I did manage to make the bar go away by shaking. Instead of setting programs to do it make it toggle the bar by using a shake. I don't have it in front of me to do step by step but if someone wants me to I can put it up.

I would most certainly love to see that "How too" Zadeis.
Thanks.

OK the link smaug408 put up leads to a guide on how to set up a task that when an App starts it will remove the bar at the bottom. The thing is though you no longer have a back button and get out of the app unless it has a dedicated exit button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301857
I take no credit for the premade files for tasker. The thanks goes to the creator Quietthinker through that link.
-First Open the link and download the attached StatusBarToggle.zip and place the files into /sdcard/Tasker/tasks (in this case you will only need the StatusBarToggle.tsk.xml, the StatusBar_Hide.tsk.xml, and the StatusBar_Show.tsk.xml files)
-Second open tasker and go to the "tasks tab" and tap and hold the Tasks Tab at the top. An options window will come up but select Import and import all of them into tasker
-Third go to the profiles tab and tap the Green plus at the left and give it a name. ShakeToToggle can work but you can name it whatever you like.
A context window will popup and you will select Event and then the Sensor Category and finally select the Shake Event.
You can mess around with the setting for the shake gesture now or tweak it in to your liking after everything is set up up to you.
-Forth once you have the setting you like press the green check mark, select the StatusBarToggle task and you are done. Now when you shake your tablet side to side it will make the status bar go away.
Now I just happened to figure out that you can shake instead of using an app for the context. I take little credit for how this works.
This method requires Super User Permissions. It will ask on the first toggle of the bar if you allow it to remember it afterward, if not it will ask each time.

Great app. Works perfectly

Start "loading" when returning to the home page from an app???

Recently, when I returned to the home page from an app, the screen would show "loading" for a few seconds during which all icons on the home page, like clock, weather, phone, internet and everything disappeared. It became more and more annoying because the occurring became more and more often. Do you guys know why this happened and how to fix it? Have any of you met this problem before?

Seriously how to close apps completely? just wipe them out at the "recent apps" page or do I have to go to "applications" in settings and close the running apps manually...any good apps to recommend to manage the running apps? Thx

Stop using the task manager, you're defeating the point of ICS in the first place. Let the system manage it on its own, and just kill apps from the task switcher.
That being said, you shouldn't be getting Sense redraw so often, try a reboot or a factory reset.

When I bought mine, the AT&T store had three HOX's on display, and EVERY ONE OF THEM had the "loading" screen, and it lasted for almost 20-30 seconds. Salesman said it was becoming a problem because people are expecting it to be fast and fluid, and this was tarnishing the phone's reputation. He said the issue with the display phones is the AT&T "demo" software that runs on them to display the features keeps killing the Sense process and it has to restart, and that this wouldn't affect anyone in "real world" usage. Haha!
Sad that the simple AT&T on-sreen demo is enough to kill off Sense.

Did you even try this? If this is checked, when you return to the home screen you are seeing the loading screen because your phone is killing ALL running applications.

No, it's confirmation that either 1) the default memory management is way too aggressive (it is), 2) Sense consumes way too much RAM (it does), or 3) Both (ding ding)
It's only a small, marginal fix, but I've noticed less of the memory management intrusion when I've switched to a less bloated launcher like Apex or Nova.

Try Using Nova Launcher
I was sick of 'loading' home screen too. I deleted the default htc's weather widget and it was a lot better. Still there are some apps that take up too much of ram and sense needs to reload.
I started using Nova launcher and its a lottt better new.

+2 for using a different launcher.
I almost never have this problem with Nova.

My AT&T HOX has the default weather widget, a TON of apps, no task killer running, i'm running 1.85 rooted and unlocked. i NEVER get the Loading screen when I go to my home screen.

nvm mis understood post. thought you were saying to check the box. it comes unchecked by default it should never be checked.

Got this for a while but only when switching between launchers (and when using Sense)
Didn't happen with Nova but did pause a few seconds going back to the Nova home screen.
I just rebooted and it seemed to stop ( plus I grabbed the OTA 1.85 yesterday. I thought it was already rooted)
It's frustrating to have a new top of the line phone and get issues like this because they seem to be over tweaking power management.
