Any program to automatically kill tasks on WM Smartphone Edition?

I got my father a sprint HTC Snap (Dash 3g) and was wondering if there is a program that would automatically kill running tasks. I don't think he will bother to go to the task manager and kill the task from there. There are no apps that he would want running in the background so Everything can be killed.
Any app for that? There is no exit option in IE and the camera and many other apps which I think is retarded.
I think the way he exits a program is by pressing the Home key and it keeps the program running in the background.

I'm using Oxios CloseApps, works perfect.
Google for it!

Thanks for the reply. This program seems good, Does this program shut the apps automatically, or do I have to run it once in a while. Maybe shuts all programs every 5 minutes if the phone isn't currently on... or maybe shuts idle tasks after they havent been used for several minutes.. etc
If there isn't such an app, is there an app that would automatically open a program every xx minutes? then I can train that app to open Oxios every couple of minutes.
If it was my phone, I wouldn't mind running it, but then again this is for my father and I don't think he would bother.

Moved as not software release.

[Q] Can't run apps simultaneously

Hi all,
I just bought a Moto G LTE 8GB (XT1045) and so far, I'm loving it! However, I have run into difficulties running two apps at the same time. For example, when I use the Rdio app to play music, and then press the home key, and then run Google Maps, my Rdio app will quit (i.e. not just stop playing music, but really quit). Then, if I start navigating somewhere in Google Maps, and then go back and re-run Rdio, Google Maps will quit as soon as Rdio boots up.
This doesn't only happen with these two apps-- it happens with my Audible too with my running app, and stuff like that.
Any ideas? Is it sound-related? ROM-related? (And if it's ROM-related ... is there any ROM out for XT1045 that fixes this?)
Thank you so much! I tried searching the forums but could not find an answer ... I learned that Back button ends app while Home leaves it running, but I have only been pressing Home.
best,
toohsieh

I've been having this same problem lately. Figured I would bump this thread. I've been using Titanium Backup to freeze some Motorola apps because i think Motorola's background services are to blame, but not positive it is helping.

In developer mode, go to "Background Processes" and verify that 1 process isn't clicked. You could even experiment with forcing more apps to run in the background.
I don't know if this is the problem but it's a simple place to start.

For me at least, they do run in the background, but only for like 10 minutes. After a certain time one of the apps will be cleared out to make room for ram. I have been monitoring the ram and running Google Maps Navigation and Google Music in the background and the ram is indeed listed as Critical (<96mb inactive). Cleared out a ton of the Motorola services and it did help a ton because they all ran with a Nice priority of 100.
After running the phone for a while there seems to be memory leaks. Restarting helps a lot. I'm using XPosed, so I wonder if Gravitybox is doing anything nefarious to my ram, but that is purely speculation. I'm thinking of switching to GPE to see if that helps.
EDIT: Switching to GPE has helped immensely so far. But, I'm noticing Google Maps seems to grow in memory over time a lot too. It has gone from 70mb to now 170mb over a few hours in navigation mode.
EDIT2: Maps seems to cap off at 170mb. So I guess it is fine. Ran Google Music and Google Maps for about 8 hours and they both continued without closing.

Having some apps crashing and not working correctly.

So I've been running CM13 by Sultan for the past few months and I've noticed a few apps are behaving weirdly. I'm not sure if these apps are having bugs with 6.0 or CM13. I did not have these bugs back on 5.1 / CM12.1.
If I use the NX Bus app (local buses app), when I click on the map button, the app crashes and force closes. This means I cannot look at stops or bus times.
Also, bejeweled blitz crashes if I do a 'free retry' by watching an advert and then returning to the challenge mode, the game doesn't load the challenge correctly, sometimes the score is not visible and special gems do not appear.
The Three UK app also doesn't not refresh my allowances when I refresh them, it just seems to time out and not receive the updated balances.
The Facebook app causes a persistent notification about not being connected to a cast, and doesn't let me remove the notification or close the casting notification. (there is an x in the notification but it does not close it) (it also does nothing when I tap on it)
The XDA app also can sometimes take a very long time to connect to the server and times out.
Its like some apps are not linking correctly or something. The Facebook one is weird, I cannot see any setting within the app to switch off the casting mode.
Should I try a different version of android?
These issues aren't particularly bad but noticeable and annoying.
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

Anyway to uninstall the memory manager?

The awful program that keeps closing out my running programs and also refuses programs to run in the background. I am missing Email notifications because of this. My ESPN app is pretty much useless because it isn't running in the background to send me my score/breaking news notifications through out the day. I thought it was just Android Doze that was the issue, but even if I turn the apps off optimization they still get closed out by the awful memory manager that Lenovo has running.

AccuWeather, which puts a current temp notification on the notification bar, also shuts down after one to several days. Thought it was an app issue. Other apps have no problems annoying me with unwanted notifications.

So Lenovo has this also? Like Huawei with there phone manager app. I was looking at the Phab Pro 2 because i love my Honor Note 8 but notifications sucks on this phone. Yeah you can freeze it, but things like battery manager don't work any more.

Try ####6020# Select PK
Backup yr phone first.

How to prevent from stopping background processes

Hello, (sorry for my english ) I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 plus SM-G9550 and I would like to know how I can prevent the system from stopping important processes running in the background, since the widgets can not be used without manually activating the app to which the widget belongs. Don´t Synchronize the weather widgets for example, also applications widgets to record or play audio, only work a few minutes after application was manually opened and then stop working, also close streaming applications running in the background as "radiocut" . I already tried everything, even removing the apps from the energy saving settings, I put those applications in the list of apps without supervision of the power monitor and still do not work, only work for a few minutes and then the system stops the process, Could you help me solve this problem?
Thank you very much

You can't really stop the S8 from killing processes. It has very bad memory management and constantly kills processes and running apps. It's very annoying.

I think you have to turn off the app from Battery Optimization. Try Settings; Apps; touch the three DOT menu on the right corner, select Special access; Optimize battery usage; on the top left select "All apps" by default it shows "Apps not optimized" and Turn off Battery Optimization from the app you want to keep running... Let see if it works...

Like Emby, when you're in the middle of casting

I don't know is what that means.

In device manager under battery there is the ability to add apps to the whitelist so the device manager won't stop them.

This doesn't work. The issue is with memory management on the device. It's pretty well documented in a few places on XDA already and is by no means a new problem for Samsung. It has gotten a lot worse since Samsung started moving to Nougat though.

Can you give a reproducible scenario?

The original post already mentioned that he already removed the apps at battery optimization.

Open 6-8 apps, in my case phone, messages, email, browser with 10 tabs, BBM, calendar, Nine Email, and Slack and watch the phone shut down apps on its own even if they are removed from all optimization features. It sometimes takes a few hours, other times it's quicker, but sooner or later the phone just shuts down apps on its own. Most of the time it kills the phone app and messages first. Then all the browser tabs go into refresh mode.

I suggest the J7 forum section then, this post hadn't been touched for a year.

It worked for me too.
I had an Galaxy S6 and used to sync FolderSync with an FTP account.
After migrating to Galaxy S8+ FolderSync doesn't work anymore.
It does sync once while the app is opened and after that it stops syncing, no matter if it is closed not.
Removing Battery management for FolderSync app makes syncing to stay running in background even with all apps closed.
Thanks!
