I have a Samsung Focus with Mango installed. On a recent trip, in an effort to conserve battery, I turned off most of the background tasks (settings > applications > background tasks).
To try to turn them back on, I went back to that location and checked the box "Turn background tasks back on for this app the next time I open it". I then went to the app, opened it, but was not asked to turn background task on.
Does anyone know how to properly re-activate background tasks for particular apps?
Try pin the apps and also open the apps and see if there is a second push option. If so turn that on. If that doesn work, uninstall andre install.
I had the same issue with the BBC app as well as groupon. Once I reinstalled one I pinned and refreshed.
The app should itself have a setting to enable or disable the background agent; manually re-enabling it should work.
By the way, for future reference you can easily disable background agents temporarily by putting the phone in Battery Saver mode. This also disables automatic email syncing (another huge battery user) though you can still manually sync.
Like surelock does, so it takes instant effect once I run the application.
How to disable "google messaging service" from constantly running in the background?
Google messaging service constantly runs in the background, (not a cached process) and I want it to stop. It's part of google services framework. I've tried using advanced freeze on it to make it stop, and my signal bars turns grey. So is there a way to make this become a cached process and run when needed, so it doesn't use my battery life constantly?

Hi, is there a way to automatically kill the app drawer after using it ?
It's because I'm using it as a PIE button, it's very useless imo, but sometimes there is a bug because it's already open you see what I mean ?
The bug: First I see the drawer for a second and then it goes on the home screen.
