Hey guys, the longer I leave the phone on the less RAM I have.. I am down to a measly 62MB of ram at the end of the day.. I thought that android 2.2+ didn't need task killers? Anyone have any apps or ideas to help with that?
Edit: Please move this thread, I posted it in the completely wrong section I didn't have my glasses on, sorry.
Don't use any task killers but if you need a memory helper def go with "autokiller" from market. Its free and will def free up some ram for ya.

Does your phone slow down? If it's not slowing down, don't worry about it. Apps stay asleep in ram and don't run, this just means they don't have to be reloaded and are saved in the position they are in when you left them... this is the pseudo multi-tasking. If it's not slow, don't mess with it. Mine runs down that low fairly often with no loss of speed. But you can adjust the minimum settings in autokiller as suggested above if it bothers you that much
you can always enable some swap space.

Are you talking about compcache?
And my phone seems to progressively get laggier throughout the day but a reboot every morning seems to be sufficient.
Using autokiller with the optimum preset keeps me with 120 mb free and things still run fast and smooth. . .

I use advanced task killer and it works fine. Under settings I have auto kill set to safe and to do it when screen turns off

Comp cache will be slower, and isn't necessary for phones with as much ram as ours. Swap is far different than comp cache, and may help some, but I notice no difference.

I don't recommend anyone use this.

one thing that I do is use Titanium Backup to roll updates into the ROM. it hasnt caused me any issues yet that a reboot doesnt solve.
If you long press on an item in Titanium Backup...you get an option to integrate update into rom. Doing that will free up a small bit of storage, but for multiple apps it might add up for some people. My phone is smooth as butter running CM7

Maybe running donut or eclair, but anything post froyo has absolutely no need for a task killer, simply use google search.

Every reset and some times when I kill tasks I loose all my program defaults. Trying to ignore then on list not enough it still happens. Its different programs each time. Launcher then my phone then contacts. Have redo the defaults. Any clue how make sure stops. Is because apps on as card?

Stop killing tasks and learn how android works. Smh. How many threads are you going to open where you don't heed any advice?
Sent from my GT-P7510
I have listened. I learned how to use my sd card. I fixed network issues. Also stream lined my apps. No double apps. I even managed more ram. I'm happy. I use a auto kill so doubt its doing it because I safe everything. My only issues now.
1. Google maps keeps deleting its self
2. My go locker changes
When this happens is at random. Doesn't seem be anything app doing it. I'm thinking its my Rom possibly. Bone. Skeeter
Doing my best bro. My phone is my only computer. Hard to read up as well as on a computer.
Thanks for the help.

So odd I tried one app at a time. Might have start over with fresh rom. Its not bad problem just annoying. It deletes two random apps every restart. Thank god for titanium back up

I have no idea what you are doing but I loose nothing over device resets. Period. Explain in detail exactly what you are doing, what ROM you are running, what launcher you are using and a list of 3rd party apps you are running.

sounds to me like hes running apps on sd which is unnecessary and causes more harm than good.
Really? Hmm I guess your right. I have I plenty of room. Thanks for info. I found the program responsible. Go locker. It used work but after last update it started messing up. Thanks for help I move apps back to phone

I think he means disabling the popup on boot, that asks him to connect, when he had his data turned off prior to shutdown... For that, honestly i wish i knew myself...

Could you delete the ui file that contains the script for the popup... Probably a noob suggestion just wondered if it would/could work.

Any luck going into Settings --> Accounts and sync:
Uncheck "Background data"
Uncheck "Auto-sync"
Remove all accounts

its been a year and is wondering if any1 could help me with this? I know that AntonX's [ROM] Barebone SGS4G KJ6 1.1.3 has this feature
What ROM are you on? If GB - you can likely pull the file(s) out of Bare bones and replace the one's in your ROM with them. Otherwise you will be getting dirty is decompile/recompile fun.
im running GB-Valhalla Black Edition Final, but i dont know what files are correlated to this fix =[

I believe that's a framework-res change and bare bones is odexed while valhalla black is pretty much different because of all the changes that white put into valhalla so if it boots it'll soft reboot a lot since framework jar and android.policy.jar will still try n set the lock screens that white added :/ I can try and look for it

Yep. There is still a button for that.
I'm not sure if anyone else knows about this, but if you hold your finger on the status bar until the notification tray starts to open and then stops opening, you can slide your finger back and forth on the status bar to adjust brightness without going into your settings. I just found this out and thought it was cool and worth sharing

I kept noticing it changing brightness randomly sometimes since I got it back in August, and I just figured it out, haha. Oh well, eitherway, I'm sure there are people out there who will be pleased to learn this trick

Before people say it doesn't work, allow me to state the obvious. You have to turn off auto-contrast.

While the idea is nice, I find it a bit tedious. I'll go with a switch widget instead.
I'm rooted stock with xposed but since I've had the phone very very quickly a dark icon will flash in the top left of the notification bar. So quickly I can't make out what it is.. Anyone else notice this? It's starting to annoy the piss out of me.

Not sure if it's the same but I have a white triangle with an exclamation point in it, every time it flashes (and it's super quick) the page I'm looking at reloads or loads a couple pages prior. It's driving me crazy!!! I'm only rooted with WeakSauce.

I'll look into Google now but I've got notifications turned off for that.
Just today I noticed it seems to do it mostly when I'm sending a text message. It flashed so many times in a row I was almost able to make it out.

Here is the icon you're seeing, it's the same one that's in the settings next to data usage, but colored. I always see it when I'm sending or receiving a text and it's annoying as hell.

No idea but I noticed it as well and it's annoying. I always know when I'm about to get a text though, because it flashes really quickly before something comes in.

Not sure if it's going to work yet or not but if you have xposed download notifyclean and you can block all notifications from "data usage". I'll post results later.

I noticed this anomaly as well; upon further research, it seems there's a notification that also flashes at the same time. I have not been able to make out its message.
Caught it. I don't like it, almost seems like your message is relayed through data...
I'm pretty sure using the method I posted above works. I haven't noticed the icon one time today.

I'm getting the white triangle as well flashing right when I receive or send a text even on my M7 on Sense 6. I still can't figure it out!
If it's the same thing we're experiencing then doing the method I posted on the first page works. I haven't seen the icon since I hide it.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
I'm stock, non rooted etc and see the same. I have enabled Developer mode, I want to say that is the culprit but i'm not sure why. I also do not recall seeing it prior to the 4.4.2 update.
-T
That Xposed module seems to have killed the triangle, thank you!!!!
But I'd still like to know why it's happening so I can kill it or figure out what's going wrong with the system instead of just Xposing it away.
