Hi
I'm looking for a simple app that allows to selectively update multiple apps from Android market at the same time. At the moment I have 15 apps that could be updated but want to update only 10 of them. It's boring and time consuming to click each one and update. I'd like to just select all that I want to update and click "Update selected". Do you know such app?
Sometimes I notice my phone gets warm and when I bring up a task manager (from system tuner pro) I see the same apps are causing problems.

The thing is, if I didn’t use my phone 24/7 I would never notice these apps running because I think they close within an hr or so once it "does whatever it does" ….
But im ALWAYS on my phone - so i do notice it..
How can I disable any/all services associated with the apps – and make sure that they only run when I open the program – and the second I close them – the services stop as well not to turn back on till i open the app again?
I don’t want to run a task manager/auto kill program =(
Thank you!
ROM Cleaner should do the trick. Ask in their thread if you have problems, they are very friendly and helpful. Sorry, just reread and realized you said disable. ROM Cleaner removes the apps you don't want, including system apps. I just get rid of all the junk after flashing a new ROM and it runs cool and smooth.
To disable, use Titanium backup and freeze those apps.
I noticed that Facebook remains in memory even after you close it or not it ever opened.
There is a patch to close it completely or do not open automatically?

It's not only the Facebook app, many apps do the same. They start up at boot or other actions. They either remain running (as a service or otherwise) too keep you up to date (notification).
Other than uninstalling, you can use a tool like System Tuner. I think you need root for this. In its task manager, select a process, then scroll the list on the right side down to Receivers. Uncheck the triggers you want to disable. This can potentially render your app unusable, so be careful what you disable.
An alternative, if you do not use the app, but still keep it or cannot install it (useful for apps that came with your ROM) is to freeze them.

This might be kind of a hassle.
If you tap on the recent apps list.
Long tap the Facebook app it will give 2 options.
1 is remove from list
2 is app info
Tap app info
Then force close
Some say swiping from the recent apps list closes the service.
I don't believe it does.
At least this may be a way to shut Fbook down.
There's a lot of info about closing down applications on the Google Android developer blogs.

Thanks for the reply. My TF700 is root!
The application I would not freeze it because sometimes I use it.
Try system tuner
Hiii
I'm having problem with "deasapearing ram" Every 2-3 days i've to restart phone completly becouse when i check in working apps settings i've like 40-80 free ram. in use is about 780-820 mb. it does not add up to 1gb anyway. So when i have so little ram to use apps are force to close, mx player, some ****ty family guy app even chrome is closing down. apps like app killer are not helping tehy free like about 10-60 mb. anyone noticed something like me, any advice?
I think it is the phone, I have the same problem :/

i did it already through pc companion suite. no help at all.
Maybe root and uninstall bloatware can help you with this situation
this problem probaly because of too many background apps
and one more thing .. linux based OS , ram always been used everytime
you can disable some apps like google maps or integrated apps that u dont use
I have the similar problem with my RAM. As 1st, RAM is always at 70% usage.
How can i disable some applications permanently so they do not run by themselves? I dont want to unninstal them, just disable them, is it possible and if it is can u please tell me how to do it in few short steps.
Second thing, beside other apps i have installed Facebook, WhatsApp and CleanMaster app. Every time i go Settings -> Aplications -> Running Aplications, there are these 3 apps always running. I dont know whats causing them to be opened at all times. I think if i open Facebook (for example) even once, it stays up and running in background even if i remove it from that Dock Menu Tab by sliding it a side.
Is there anything i can do to make this stop, and save some of my RAM free?
Thanks in advance
4.3 is the worst from all versions in terms of memory handling. On top of that it comes very heavy on memory foot-print right after booting up.
After booting up your phone has about 300 - 350 Mb left to work with. Open your Navigation app and your browser, and the memory of your phone is "done". The happy apps reshuffling starts, causing screen lag and app start-up delay.
When a phone app with1 mB in size was considered big, and 5 mB of RAM consumption enormous, than shuffling things around was no prob. Now shuffle a 240 mB Navi app out of the memory, and replace it with that 70 mB home launcher when you are done. Takes the same time and is the same, right? And users have no clue how memory is used, right? And if so many complain about memory handling? But still, Many will tell us "unused RAM is wasted RAM".
What can you do?
- Root your pone and remove all apps you don't need, diligently and consequently
- Greenify user apps, in particular those which you do not need always.
- Rethink if you need to be on Viber, Whatsapp and Skype constanly. If not, greenify.
- Access Facebook from a browser, ditto for other functions and apps where a website is availabe and mostly does the same
- When installing a new app always go for the smaller one that just does what you need to do. Not the one with all the function that you could need, and not the one with more eye candy.
certain apps on android are a no-no. For example, facebook (from what I've heard) and skype use lots of resources and slow down the phone. You should disable or uninstall any app that isn't of use to you. To check the RAM usage of apps and disable them, go to settings -> apps, running will show you current apps, and if you go in all apps you can scroll through them and disable unneeded apps.

Search for an app that lets you manage startup apps on boot. Another way is Greenify, as it unloads apps from memory.
BTW. Cleanmaster is redundant in my eyes.
Thank you very much, this helped a lot.
i've disabled around 15 apps, some sony crap and stuff what i know what it is and i don't use. still the same.
Hi!
System:
I'm using a CarbonROM september nightly with ElementalX 1.07.
Issue:
Android is killing opened apps although there is more than enough free ram.
Detailed:
For testing purposes I launched ca. 10 apps sequentially. After opening the 9th or 10th app, the first one of the launch order has already been killed by Andorid.
Right after this my Nexus still has 1.1 GB free RAM!
What I tried:
Configured minfree defensively (512,1024,1280,2048,3072,4096): Nothing changed.
Additional information:
There aren't any third party task killers installed.
I use a very minimal and clean installation of android. 114 apps installed (of which 87 are system apps), almost no services running (no instant messaging, no anti virus etc.)
It could probably be caused by the background processes limit (which can be found in the developer options). I've left this setting at 'default limit' of course, but does anybody know how 'default limit' actually is defined actually and - above all - if I can increase it in some configuration file?
First world problem, I know. But thanks in advance!
Sounds like a kernel issue.
