Sorry for my English.
When I turn to one app from another (few seconds, is not a RAM problem), the previous app close.. you understand me? In Desire this doesn't happen ..

The button on the right that looks like a square in front of a square will let you switch through your open/recent apps.
edit: some apps (like games) close when you exit.
I know, but in Desire this not happen unless dont have free RAM

yes i get the same issues
cant wait for a proper kernel and some init.d scripts.. Should sort this issue out for good
For me no such problems unless using some memory hungry apps, like Google Chrome.

In the developer options, there are settings that either allow multitask or not. you should check it out.

Yes, I have destroy aplication when you leave it: OFF and numbers of processes in background : 4 (max).
For me is with ALL apps, when you leave it close
Enviado desde mi HTC One S usando Tapatalk 2
well there you have it. it sounds like you have more than 4 running in the background.
that's probably taken up with sense and a couple of other system processes, leaving nothing for user opened apps.
put it back to 'standard limit' which is where it is supposed to be and it should stop shutting them down.

This is definitely an issue. I get the same problem when trying to multitask. So annoying.
On the One X, even though the keep no background processes is unchecked by default, it is actually "on". You have to toggle it on and then off for it to actually be off.

Yeah same here. I sent a email to HTC support the other day about this issue but I have yet to receive a response. I have my home screens filled and most of them are loaded with Widgets but i still have about 170mb of free ram left so i don't know if its a ram issue or not. Its very dissapointing.

There is plenty of RAM on this phone, Its just how it is managed whats causing issues like this..
Once we get some proper devs on our team, These issues will be a thing of the past..
What amazes me is HTC, A massive global giant producing high spec devices, with developers being paid ridiculous amounts of money, Yet a young person from XDA can ReWrite a ROM, eliminate 99% of bugs, Make the phone run at maximum potential.......And he does this as a hobby after school or something..
I really think these phone companies should be searching these forums for their future employees.
Lol, very true.

The android browser gives itself a low priority when it comes to "Need memory, must kill apps" if that makes you feel any better.
The app is actually coded to be one of the first to go.

Do you guys also think brightness level of the three capacitive button below the screen is too high? That causes the light leaks that is referred to here. especially at night, they look kind of annoying to my eyes. Is there a way to come up with a MOD to lower their brightness? Or it has to be changed at kernel level?
If so maybe we can post this to htcdev forums and ask HTC to do something about this.
I'd like to be able to turn them off completely. Annoying when watching videos at night. If solves the light leaks even better.

Tip. Some reviews complain about the app having too many permissions. If you uninstall after making the changes, the settings maintain. We'll see if they remain after a reboot.

How do you turn it off permanently, mine does return after locking the screen.
In the options menu there is an option to force the button backkight off.
Btw- if you uninstall the app, the lights will return after a reboot. Have not tested with the app installed plus reboot.

If we can find the file that this app modifies, maybe we can make it more permanent. Unless that file reverts to stock after a reboot as well.

Hi All,
This is an app that i just found that apparently is extremely useful for the I9505 variant containing the Snapdragon processor.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app#_blank
"Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru is a battery life saver app that extends battery performance and improves overall user experience by intelligently making changes that optimize device functionality in phones with Snapdragon mobile processors."
I have just installed it to see how it goes over the next few days.
Just thought i should share it with everyone.
Cheers

Its mostly useless because of this.
I used it on my previous phone as well, Motorola RAZR HD. There were options to enable data for those apps (I don't use Tango though), and I did.
In the end all it was essentially doing is managing my WiFi, and it made poor choices about that, disconnecting me when I was at home and using WiFi. It made sense to the app; WiFi took more power, but it wasn't the way I wanted to use it.
In the end, it didn't do anything but screw up my experience. I could achieve what it had "learned" and tailored it to my needs using Tasker but doing that doesn't even make a significant difference when I'd set it up for a better power saving experience so those profiles inevitably got deleted.
I should add that the RAZR HD is built to be sort of similar to vanilla Android, and that I trust Samsung a lot more when it comes to trying to optimise power consumption in its ROM without any add ons running, and that's quite a statement considering that the RAZR HD has incredible battery life.
I've had this app staring at me in Titanium Backup, uninstalled, since I got the phone and the urge to try it out comes and goes, but overall I can't really conceive that its a good idea to do so. There's no magical things that it does which can't be accomplished using other tools and most of those tools aren't really worth it despite doing a better job for the reason of the user having more control over what conditions need to be met for the functions to take place. The days of Android needing help with power management through third party apps are for the most part in the past and only exist on pretty old phones.
Battery Guru is in use more then anything else during Learning process when I check in Greenify. Based on what I see hopefully it is used less after Learning.
Also is it worth using this with Greenify?

Yep. And I guess if the functions of this app were so great how it tells you in the description, it would be in the source code of the qualcomm's kernel itself. Maybe it can save some battery but only for those millions of unexperienced users arround the world, who doesn't even know, what android really is.
I would stick with greenify and that's enough. Everything else is the job for the kernel.

Does this app really help?
I let it run the whole learning period and just ended a few hours ago...
So it started saving battery... The phone was idle the whole time.
You see a huge decline in battery? Thats when the App BatteryGuru started to "save battery", how ironic.
"Google Services" seems to be the cause in here..
When checking Wake Lock Detector,
BatteryGuru is the most wake lock...
Question is, Shall I continue using it?
i started using this app with the adam kernel and ive noticed that my battery life has increased from 12 hours of use to 18/19 hours of use
im a pretty avid phone user. mainly music, web browsing, phone calling, text, games, and seldomly maps (in order of importance to my personal life
with the stock kernel i saw no difference

This is more of a proof of concept that might be useful to lock the screen.
Does not require root.
HTC's framework detects gestures while the screen is on, this is actually broadcasted to all applications, but the only app that reacts to it is HTC's Media Output (Three finger swipe up or left-right).
This app is both an implementation that reacts to a three finger click to lock the screen, and a dev concept that shows how to react to the gestures.
If you want to use this to lock the phone, just tap with three fingers anywhere after enabling device admin.

More dev stuff:
If anyone is interested where this happens, it's in services.odex's com.htc.server.gesture package.
This is one of the best hacks I've used for the m8 so far ... Very simple yet tasty ?

The app is simply a listener, it does not enable anything, in fact, if a three finger gesture is not detected by the system, as far as the system is concerned, the app does not exist (it does not take CPU cycles, or memory, or any resources besides storage for the APK).
Therefore, it's technically impossible for it to cause any battery drain. I have no idea what happened on your phone, but it's likely a coincidence.
With that said, my reply was a bit rude, so apologies for that.

You'll need to enable the app as a Device Policy Manager. You have to open the app once for Android to confirm it wasn't maliciously installed.
