I use voxer like ALL THE TIME to contact people and lately (this goes off and on with versions) its not giving me my notifications of new messages. In fact the messages wont even populate until i randomly open the app and force a connection.
I believe that android is just shutting the app after a while and i wanted to know if there was an app or way to force cerain apps to stay on regardless of the OS
thanks
Hey everyone,
This is intended to people who use Whatsapp or apps that show similar behavior.
If Whatsapp is in the background app list, I can easily hold the back button, access the list, and click on it and it will resume from where I was.
However, if the background is still in the background app list, and I clock on the Whatsapp live tile, the app has to re-launch itself instead of resuming from where I left it.
Is that a Whatsapp malfunction or normal WP7 behaviour? Other apps do not behave like that so I am guessing it's whatsapp.
I only had my Lumia 900 for a week and still new to WP7.
Your help/comment/feedback will be appreciated.
Thank you.
clicking on the app-tile will force every app to relaunch (except some built-in "apps" like your browser and so on)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I find that a bit odd don't you think? What for?
It's a limitation of Windows Phone right now. I think it's mostly done to reduce the amount of background processes running and hence will give better battery life.
Hopefully this will change with WP8!
Actually, that's mostly incorrect. It is the default behavior of WP7, and the reason for that behavior is to allow the user to re-launch an app that has become hung in some way (since apps can trap teh Back button, it's entirely possible to make an app that the OS provides no other way for the user to exit from). In theory (I haven't tried it myself), it's possible to make a configuration change that causes the default "launch" behavior to be resume, rather than restart.
Background processes are completley irrelevent, because WP7 has no (significant) process limit and does not let apps run in the background (consuming battery) anyhow. Backgrounded apps are fully suspended; they use RAM but if another program needs it, the suspended app will be tombstoned (think of it as "hibernated"), the process ended, and the RAM freed.
Interesting although a bit annoying since the app takes 5 seconds to relaunch and fetch messages although the messages have been received and notifications have appeared on the top.
There is a stream specific audio app I use that quits if I switch to the home screen or another app, instead of keeping the audio going. The display has nothing useful other than a pause/play button. This means I can't check my email without starting the app all over again.
I know that the app can be designed differently to avoid this, but thats not happening. Is there any way to trick the app into thinking its still being displayed?
By the way thiis is the behavior on my Nexus 4 phone. On my Nexus 7 tablet it keeps playing in the background. Both run 4.4.2.
I have an app that isn't developed by me, it tends to crash on the device I'm running it on, I was wondering if there was an app or script to detect when the app crashes and re open it.
Anyone?
Hi,
Had this issue for a little while since after upgrading to Android N on my S7.
Prior to that, I could go to the home menu while Kingdom Hearts Union X is active or switch to another app, resume and the KH app would resume where it was.
Now it seems to start the app very briefly, then shuts down and requires a fresh boot of the app again.
Other apps I regularly use don't seem to have this problem, and I haven't seen any others complain about this issue for KH in particular, but I don't know what could be the cause on my phone?
I did try Greenify and S7 has some inbuilt thing to clear RAM and etc., but the same still seems to happen.
Anyone have any suggestions?
P.S. Also out of interest, I've read keeping all apps open on the multi-app screen is better practice than manually closing them? Is this true? And would they use internet data/resources in this state?
Thanks
