[Q] After Using Advance Task Manager - items still show up in "recent" menu

so i'm using an advance task killer (blue icon) and whenever i end all open apps
it tells me "advanced task killer ended "x" apps" but all the apps remain open in the recent app window in their current state..
is there an alternative way to remove the apps from the recent menu all at once?
i'm new to honeycomb..

I use Active Apps & Watchdog to kill apps. Both in the market.

It's a Recent Apps list. Not a running in the background list.
All Android since 1.0 (T-Mobile G1, the first Android phone), there's been a recent app list. You press and hold the Home button. On Android 3.0 for tablets, there is a dedicated button.
In Android 3.1, the recent app list has been extended to more than 5 shown. It's now 14/15

You don't need to manually quit apps on Android. I get 15-20 hours battery with heavy use.

I just leave the screen on auto brightness. The battery on these things is excellent.

I am new to not just Honeycomb but android all together. I think that it is completely asinine that there isn't an easy way to stop/close apps. when you bring up the recent app list if you tap & hold you should be given the option to close that app/window.

An "app" called Android. Honeycomb caches and/or kills apps on its own. Try it without the killer. Start angry birds, exit and then go back....

So what is a GOOD and FUNCTIONING Task Manager app for the HoneyComb platform? I am using ZDBOX for my Thunderbolt, but it is NOT compatible with HoneyComb.
I use Task Manager to monitor which apps is USING too much battery, not killing them. It's must faster to use this type of app than going to Settings -> Applications and wait for the apps to be listed.
For example, I use ZDBOX in my Thunderbolt and notice that Skype is running in the background ALL THE TIME, using 11 to 25 Mb even when I am not using it for the whole day. Battery life begun to suffer, so I uninstall it.

The way android works is that if an app is using a service that needs to be ran in the background, you'll find it in that list in the application menu. Otherwise, it gets cached, so it will restore faster when you you open it again. Plain and simple, if you need to use a task manager for an Android app, it's either a poorly designed app - possibly containing something bad, or you need to shut down all the services the app needs - which should be a rare occasion if it's a worthwhile app.
What are you trying to kill so often?
If it's something that you've told is okay to run in the background, when you kill it, it probably starts up again. Using a task manager to kill these means your phone is constantly starting up and killing a service, which isn't good for battery life.

Must not be playing much flash. That eats it up.
watchdog not only will let you kill apps but tell you if any are overachivers
if things get out of hand press and hold the power button for a clean restart

I think if you go through settings and look for running apps, you can kill them. You app murderer.

That's why I need a Task Killer: to kill those poor-behaving apps. I don't use the Task Killer very often, though.
For example: I use an app called Flight Track. I don't fly very often, but I do fly more than average (once to twice a month, sometimes none in a month). This app is running in the background ALL the time. But on months I don't fly, I do not need this app to run in the background. So I kill the app and it does NOT start again in the background until I manually start the app.

Use the Program Monitor widget, if using an alternative launcher try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elnware.ActiveAppsWidget

I use Advanced Task Killer (avaible in the market).
It comes with a one touch widget which allows you to kill all inactive/unwanted processes with one click and shows you the amount of free RAM. You can also schedule automatic task killing in the background.

Uninstall it. Android does the killing when needed. Thos taskkillers just drain battery and run on background.

And how is this accesories related?

May be true, but I always experience a noticeable speedgain after killing unneeded applications running in the background. And my battery consumption of advanced task killer is below 1% (when monitored).

Task managers/ killers or battery savers are totally unnecessary in Jellybeans. They will do more bad than good. Clearing RECENT after use is sufficient.

but the dose not force close app it just close process in background mode like devices having low ram like our i9003 to play heavy games , runs bigger apps we needs to free up memory and force close services also .. so only root killing can do that . And this app is best in root killing and free up maximum amount of ram

All unused apps should be freeze/ uninstalled if you want a performing device. Use autostart to disable unwanted apps startup. That will help reduce apps from auto starting and thus lowering your ram.

i already know that i did that some activities also restarts advance freez works there i know that also but some programs r necessary to run like settings on startup to apply cm settings etc and with normal task killer the settings wont gets killed u need to force stop it for this app stop all in its kind..

The endgame is to freeze/uninstall whatever you don't need. It's better than using any task killer or manager..
* screenshot is my Nexus 7. Trying to run without Gapps. Not phone. But you can still stop many system apps in phone.

And why not?
I do not understand why such a delight from what does not work very well, and then? Android-general can do without it.

if using a task killer is your means of getting a better battery life, then i highly suggest you try out DS Battery Saver and Greenify instead

True... bt i got this as d best root app killer .. in its kind... this is d best

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.

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.

Keeps killing apps

Hello. My mate 8 keeps killing apps. Realistically this happens when the apps do not get started on start up at all or the all clear button is used for running apps and these apps to not get re started. I have looked at the permissions they have been given auto run permissions they have been given run in the background permissions they have been given battery optimization excuse meaning they're allowed to run no matter what the battery. They have also been given data usage permissions. Essentially these are apps such as the Tasker the locale app things that automate phone
If someone knows an automation app that is not murdered by this phone I'll just change apps

Lol I actually don't mind this. Saves me so much battery for apps like Facebook

Yes but it turns a smart phone into a paper weight. A very expensive one. I can do better with a lesser battery life

I notice the same. It was worse in NXT-L29C636B103 but seems to be better in NXT-L29C636B180 but some of my essential apps that work with automation like Situations and Silence Premium are not working properly at all.... need to find out how, all these apps I am talking about are already in "Protected Apps" and in "Ignore Battery Optimzations". That means, don't touch them and let them run its course because it needs to... and I command it so...
But internally, either EMUI 4 or Marshmallow 6 is ignoring these "whitelist" that they themselves implemented. I'm running debug logs with one of the developers of the apps I am having problems with... and he noticed instead of not touching the application, it is being "killed" and "restarted" all the time. Nooooo!!!
It is a nice feature for battery life.... but if you kill essential apps that the user has told you to not touch, then, that is way #[email protected]*!?*&

Additionally to the ignore optimizations, and Protected Apps in Battery Manager..
If you go to Settings -> Apps, then go into specific app you want..tap Battery...and you have options
- App Auto-Launch
- Keep running after screen off

Grrr every 90 min average the apps is killed and i lose all my personal stat ! GRRRRR
Need help or I will kill this phone !!
Thanks

Same here with most important app like Facebook and Facebook Messenger

I get the solution from digging on web
Press the home hot key.press the options hot key(the one with three horizontal lines)task manager list will be opened will all the minimized appsjust SWIPE DOWN on the app you wanted to run in backgroundNow A lock symbol will be displayed on the app,which means that app is locked from killing by task manager.i.e your app will now run in background even after killing all the tasks in task manager.To reverse it(to unlock it or to prevent running it in background) press the home,then options hot key.. Now swipe that app UP..that lock symbol will be gone and you can kill it with task manager.
