I have searched the forum, found results but most of them were of some other phones, and my question was not really answered in it.
Anyway my question is does removing/clearing cache make phone slow? I use ES Task manager to clear the cache, but i noticed after clearing it, my phone became a little slow :S. Not sure whether it was due to clearing cache or something else.
Because what i know that clearing cache make ur phone work fast. :S

Speaking from a PC point of view, programmes that cache clearing and other services that are available to do manually, even if buried under layers of menus, tend to make things worse and drop there own nasties along the way.
So delete said programme and when you want to clear your cache;
1) Open the "internet" app (not via your chosen browser app)
2) Hit "Menu" (the three horizontal dots button in a corner of the screen)
3) Hit "Privacy & Security"
4) Hit "Clear Cache" = done!
optional) & "Clear History" if you want.

But i m talking about cache of all apps. If we remove cache of all apps through some app like ES Task manager, does it make ur phone slow?

NO it doesn't make the phone slow down, may be it makes some apps slow down but just in the beginning, after a while it will be normal, personally i always clear my cache, especially Facebook, Twitter, chrome and Default Browser to have some free space, otherwise, if you noticed some lags it may be caused by apps updates ...
Cordially.

In my book the same applies;

scroll down to phone storage, under that heading use "Make more space" to do the job.

i want to give you another advice in order to avoid powerlessness of your device, please please please never use task killers !!!, people thought that task killers make their phones smooth, but paradoxically it doesn't !!!, after killing apps android will launch again some apps because he need them, so why do you kill them !!! and when he finish with the apps recently closed, they will be closed automatically, why we need this !!!?, because android want to make your experience more smooth, so please never kill apps .

Yeah i read that somewhere, and never killed any app using a third party task manager after that. I have ES task manager just to clear cache and sometimes check the storage and other phone status (which can be checked through other means as well, but i like all the info at one place).
Once or twice i used the stock task manager to kill some apps, but now i dont even use it to kill apps.

I recently upgraded my ATT Captivate to 2.2. I now have a problem with apps starting up on there own even though I've going into apps management and have killed them. I even have app killer and its not automatically killing the apps. These aren't the att apps, these are apps that I've installed.
How can I prevent apps from starting back up. Its killing my battery life.

You could try unistalling your task killer and getting Advanced Task Killer (it's the one I personnaly use). Now killing a app won't stop it from restarting, you usually fix that in your running services. Also make sure that these apps arent widgets - in that case they will always restart

Actually, its Advanced Task Killer that I have installed. Yes, I totally understand apps vs. services. I'm stopping the services for the apps that have restarted, yet they continue to restart after the service has been killed. These apps are definitely not widgets.

Umm, may I ask what are these apps?
The only app that takes couple tries for me to stop if the facebook one. Also, some app are made to constinusly refresh and get info from the internet. If that's the case with your apps, block their internet connection or change their settings to have it refresh manually.
Also, you can tell some apps not to start on boot up - that might temporaly fix your problem.

I duno about colornote but as for the others, they automaticly refresh using the internet and so like I said in my other post, you have to set it so the either can't access the internet (might as well unistall them in that case) or set their refresh to manual so it only refreshes when you "tap" on them.
Google maps refreshes for your location. That one will be a pain especially if you have the gps on.
If you get over a day of battery life with moderate usage and that you like these app, then I'd say to just live with it. If it's not the case, I suggest getting rid of them but if OS Monitor doesn't show them using your mem/battery, then they don't actually do/change much.

once on the app, hit your menu button (bottom left one ) and you should have a setting option - each app will be different but it mostly comes to the same thing. Also if you don't have any menu option, there should be a (i) kind of image/icon somewhere in the main app page but these are rare. Most app will have their setting menu.
Thanks. I'll try it and see what happens.

I feel you, man. I'm also annoyed with apps that just keep running in the background no matter what I do. In my case, these are apps like Facebook and Google Maps. What I do with them, since there are instances where I actually need them to, is just freeze them using Titanium Backup and then defrost them when I want or need to use them. It's a bit cumbersome but at least I can have the best of both worlds - use of the apps when I need them and said apps not using precious resources when I don't. < via xda app>

This is exactly what I do as well. I have them on my phone (because downloading when you need them is silly), but use TB and freeze them. You don't ever see them but they are there for when you need them. Weather apps, FB, Poweramp, etc. They are always running stealing RAM and battery.

A tip for both of you guys, if you don't know:
You can create a widget with Titanium Backup, select Titanium Backup (Actions), Action, scroll up a bit and select Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app. Select the app and choose Facebook or any other app you want to freeze.
What will this do? When you click the 1x1 widget, it will defrost the app and automagically launch it. When you exit and click it again, it will freeze the app. Reclicking it will defrost and launch and so on. Makes it much less cumbersome.

That's the same as going in the app details and Force stopping the app.
Doesn't stop Maps from restarting if you have location services enabled of just prefetcherservice feeling like it should be prefetching.

I been trying to search for this problem everywhere but can't come up with a solution for my skyrocket. When trying to install out of market apks I can't click on "install" when in the android installer screen. I can click on cancel but nothing happens when I press on install. Installing apps through google play works fine. When I searched for this problem on google/XDA the common problem seemed to be a third party dimmer app which I don't have. I have very little third party apps. Most are the basic google apps. I'm running CM10 12/28 nightly with apex launcher on AT&T.
I tried rebooting the phone multiple times. I tried stopping multiple running programs. I even disabled jelly bean's dimmer function, but no results.
Here is a list of all my downloaded apps.

AdAway
Adobe AIR/Reader
Angry Birds
Animated weather
Apex Laucher
Apollo
Battery Mix

So the android package installer still doesn't work but for some reason the ES file explorer's own installer does. I was finally able to load the apk. ES is so much better than the CM10 file explorer. I'm glad I downloaded it. It's still annoying having to use ES every time I want to download a non-market apk but I guess it will do for now. Also it always goes to android package installer when trying to update non market apps which is pretty annoying. Any ideas as to why the android package installer still isn't working?
Thanks for your help.

Honestly, sounds to me like maybe you have another app that's set as default for APKs. I would go through Settings>Apps>All and try to identify an app that looks like it may be responsible for handling APK files and clear the defaults on it. Maybe a virus scanner?

Don't get hung up on the virus scanner part of the previous post. Go to Settings > Apps > All and click on Package Installer. See if there's any data, cache, or defaults you could clear for it. Then you could always try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery along with the fixing of permissions as suggested.

Yep, rooted running recent CM10 nightlies.
there is an app that is preventing the installer from running, by looking at your list of installed apps start turning off juice defender, battery mix or any other bat app, if not those ones then its an app thats running, so you need to do it one by one and see which app is preventing the installer from running,
I believe this has something to do with apps that use a screen overlay. For me, it was screen filter that would block the button. As soon as I disabled, it was good.

Battery Mix was the culprit good call vincom. I'm surprised though never had this problem before I rooted, must have something to do with Jelly Bean. It's too bad I really like Battery Mix too. I don't understand why this happens.
Hi xda,
I wanted to post it in the appropriate subsection, unfortunatly I was not allowed due to the 10-post rule
So I am a long time Nexus S custom Rom user, and was always very satisfied with the development and improvements of the Roms.
Currently I am on Slim Rom (4.2.2 b5) and I have the problem, that with all the new implementations, I am often running out of memory. w/o having any not necessary apps running.
Mainly I have System, Apex and Swiftkey, which are stealing RAM:
System-UI up to 90MB
Android System up to 70MB
Swiftkey up to 50MB
The System is no more 'snappy', like people say. When I am on browser and change to home, it takes 2-3 seconds. Swiftkey gets killed sometimes, while in use. Free RAM is only ~5MB at this time (considering apps, cache, ...).
So my question is, is our Nexus S slowly not sufficient enough for the recent ROMs?
Or, what can I do to have more free Ram (by deleting apps or killing processes).
Thanks a lot, Patrick

my phone is a communication and GPS device that
i take pics with and play mp3's sometimes
it is not a game platform
build 5 is, in fact, quite snappy and smooth

and install of the available roms
without restoring any of your apps
and see how they act stock

I know that a full wipe is recommended, so I am doing this on every build. Format Data, wipe dalvic, cache and battery stats.
App Data is restored via Titanium backup.
Currently I don't know what I could do better.
My additional apps are: AFWall+, Android tuner, Business calendar, Camer Zoom, Doggcatcher, eWeather, IM+, K-9, Moon reader, MX Player, NSTools, Poweramp, Quickpic, RealCalc, Sleep as Android, Solid explorer, Tapatalk, Ti Backup, TomTom.
If this helps?! What is your free Ram usually (including cache and other)?

With cache and system included I keep over 20mb of ram while using apps.. With just apps (how most ROMs have it displayed).. I have around 130mb free.. I use greenify, set background limits and still have over 100 apps on my phone.. I use a theme and themed icons on Nova launcher with three widgets running.. No lag and never have an app I'm using close due to memory constraints...

Greenify pauses unused apps ( does not block them, as they will function normally ).. It doesn't find them, but it does hinder their unwanted activities...
I keep my limit at three ( this can be found at the bottom of developers options ) but I can't tell you what is best.. I used to use only two, but one of my widgets always seemed to stop, now it seems fine..
I also don't keep sync on and limit the ability of apps to auto sync..

Greetings,
Google Search no longer finds applications on my device.
When I tap the magnifying glass shortcut key, the familiar search window opens. If I type "calc," several search suggestions and several of my contacts appear, but the calc app does not.
I can scroll to the bottom of the found contacts and tap, "Search phone." When I do, another window opens, with a slidable bar across the bottom which says, "Web, Images, Places, More ..." and "Phone" is highlighted in red, but no results for "calc" are found.
When I open the drawer and use GoLauncher's search, the calc app is found immediately.
Why is this happening? It used to work.

Hello,
I am having the same problem And whatever you are saying is 100% correct.. It you searched any damn app from that Google Search bar, You could get that App in results.. Not just system apps!
I thought this could be because of some third party app so I booted my Note II into safe mode and checked.. But still does not show any apps.. SO I guess problem might me with the Search itself..
I am trying to get the core of the issue and would like some details about your phone like:
1. Do you use any optimizer or Cache cleaner? If yes, How regularly do you use it? ( I use one called Clean master and I clean the cache once in about 15 days)
2. How many app are there on your mobile approximately? (I have about 240)
Otherwise our phone is in identical state.. Also if you have already found the solution, please lemme know.
Cheers

Never Mind I found the solution and it works for me at least. Go to settings and then Applications.. GO to Google Search (The one with the blue icon) and select it.. Force stop the app and then clear data... Restart the app and VOLLA it is showint the apps too :victory: :victory:
If I helped, dont forget to say thanks
