I have some processes tmail, opera9, etc that I manally stop every time I use the phone.
( Via task manager )
I have looked and serched all around the forum and cant find anythimg bar blating the phone with a new rom
I stop these processes and save about 10-15MB ... any one have any ideas? or software to use to kill them for good?
1. Have a look in the windows\strartup folder and see what's in it. FI poutlook, etc. Delete whatever you do not want to startup "on its own".
2. Give Memmaid a try (not freeware). It shows you running processes and enables you to terminate/kill them, although not forever.

Yup looked in start up folder.. does not contain opera9, etc , there is the poutlook in there but I dont want to stop that .
with the task manager programe yuou can also terminate procceess, and it's freeware ..
any one got any ideas? of how to stop things loading at start up?
is there like an msconfig option / app for the phone?

Does anyone have a list of what all the default services do, and what ones are safe to disable. And at that, is it worth disabling services to free up ram or does it even make a difference?
how can u disable services? i cant even end some of the running processes

I am using Dotfred's Task Manager. I'm sure he is on XDA, but his home website is:
http://www.dotfred.net/
I have a list of a couple things but I havn't tried them all I just found them somewhere else. I will put an * infront of ones that seem to be working on my system Mougle WM 6.1. I couldn't try all the keys because the weren't on my system or I need the services they provided. My RAM has increased my about 5MG I was starting at 19MG and getting as low as 2 or 3 through the day. Now I start at over 20 and I get as low as 15 normally.
*STOP ACTIVE SYNC FROM AUTO STARTING
1. DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL MEMMAID
2. GO TO "NOTIFICATIONS" TAB
3. LOOK IN THE LOWER SECTION AND THERE ARE 3 "REPLLOG" FILES (ACTIVESYNC)
4. ONE OF THEM WILL SAY "APPRUNAFTERTIMECHANGE" WHEN HIGHLIGHTED
5. DELETE THAT ONE (THE OPTION AT THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE WILL RESTORE IT ANYTIME YOU WANT)
DONE, ACTIVESYNC WON'T AUTOSTART WITH NETWORK SYNC AND YOUR NETWORK SYNC IS STILL ACTIVE.
I DID THESE FOLLOWING TWEAKS
1. WINDOWS LIVE=SELF EXPLANATORY
2. SQMUPLOAD=CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
3. OBEX(MOST OF YOU WHO HAVE BLUETOOTH DONGLES PROBABLY WON'T WANT TO DISABLE THIS)
4. DPT / DTPT (GOOGLE SEARCHING INDICATES THAT THIS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME SORT OF DHCP ACTIVITY (KILLS INTERNET SHARING)
5. BTHIDSVC(MY BLUETOOTH HEADSET WORKS FINE WITH THIS MISSING, I'M NOT SURE IF ANY OTHER BLUETOOTH OPERATIONS ARE AFFECTED, AS I DON'T HAVE A BLUETOOTH DONGLE FOR MY COMPUER)
*6. SMSRETRY = THIS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AUTOMATICALLY TRYING TO SEND MESSAGES IF YOU'RE OUT OF SERVICE OR ROAMING.
FROM HKLM\INIT I'VE DISABLED...
*1. PLAYSILENCE.EXE
2. UPTIMESQM.EXE(CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE)
*3. TIMEWIZARD.EXE / TIME SYNC (GOOGLING HAS SHOWN THIS TO KEEP THE TIME RIGHT AFTER A COLD BOOT[TAKING THE BATTERY OUT], HOWEVER, MY TIME SYNCS WITH SPRINT'S SERVERS)
Let me know if you come up with anything else.
I wonder if anyone can help me understand how to prevent a few processes from starting up automatically. As far as I can tell I don't need them, and in the case of those related to email (mailwatcher, sevenSettingsApp) they are actually sucking up so much CPU that my device isn't working correctly.
APLauncher
Mailwatcher
Mediahubmini
sevenSettingsApp (sometimes I have 2 instances of this!)
Thanks!

Check folder 'windows\startup' for shortcuts to these apps and delete the shortcuts.

Thanks. These are services, I think, not applications, so they won't necessarily appear there. I also can't find them in the usual places in the registry, at least not by a recognizable name. I'm using MemMaid to scope things out too, but it doesn't list these things by name in the startup programs or processes.
For instance, MemMaid tells me that sevenSettingsApp.exe is currently running, but I did not manually start it. However, MemMaid also tells me that this application is not included in the startup programs or services (at least by that name).
At the moment I'm assuming that I'm not recognizing something for what it is. For instance, MemMaid tells me there's a startup service called DTPT. No clue what it is. But I'm guessing I need to use MemMaid to remove some of these items from the startup queue in order to kill the unwanted services that I CAN recognize.
have you tried task manager? it might give you more or better information..and its free
http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Well that's a wonderful little utility! I like that a lot and it's found a permanent place on my phone. Unfortunately it didn't tell me anything about how to stop APLauncher or Biotouch from launching. Oh well. At least I think I've figured out sevensettingsapp and mailwatcher. Those were the biggest problems for me.
Thanks!

You have to replace those files, check my sig, under Tips, there is a link under HTC Cube to fix that, just be sure you know what your doing!
After searching both here and on google I have not found anything so I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me out with two minor annoyances.
I have noticed that several applications can run without showing up in the task manger (both dutty and the regular one).
Is there a way to see and/or close these applications?
I have WorldMate installed and even though I have disabled auto updates it still connects. So my second question is this:
Is there a way to see what applications are using a data connection (preferably the exact executable)?
Thanks in advance!
I think the standard HTC one (included with the phone) is able to shut down more, but l'm not sure about your problems.
If you have a search through the apps section then i think I've seen something in there that tells you what is using your data (data monitor of some sort?)
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Owen.
in standard task manager click menu view processes to see lots more of what is running.
My touch hd is constantly connecting to internet. If I switch data connection off a second later it is connected again. My internet is free but if I travel abroad they charge me a lot of money for that. Anyone knows what to do? Is it common problem? Michael
Sounds like you've been into an advanced config utility and set the phone to automatically start a data connection, or you have a app running which uses a a data connection (IM or similar)
i had the same problem once or twice ..over period of time ..!
(i also agree with above, handsomedog ,statement )
what i did was one of two things .... ..went to..
"my device..windows\startup "..and checked which applications is listed
to start up and ..delete the " relevant appl." if found in startup folder (..... .ink )or go to that application and configure it ...to connect to internet.. manually( if application has that option )
otherwise, i checked my task manager /processes( use a good task manager eg.. Fdc task manager..to see and kill relevant process )
close and soft reboot
(with above method, i have always traced the culprit ,and sorted
relevant problem out )
try it if you want to, it might work for you !
good luck ,
willcor
Thank you it helped a lot... no more problems
I am having a SGS asia version with latest firmware.
i have rooted it with su access and using process manager to kill those unwanted application (google map, double clock, and others....) running from behind.
but after certain time (range from 1 hour to 2 hours), those unwanted application will load back and take up the memory again. I have to manually killed them again and the remaining RAM is reduced in the process.
Is anyone facing similar problem ?
anyone know how to permanently stop this ? is there any program in the Samsung that keep summoning those application ?
Thank you.
Ya, I've this problem too, but mine is the stock firmware.I've no idea what causes those applications to launch themselves.
yes, a few of my friend also facing this problem. that is why i am thinking is some professional here can help us on this question.
Thanks
If you have rooted your phone, download this app called startup manager from market place, then disable these apps from the start up process. Viola, no more.

Is this startup manager for choosing which applications to auto start during soft reset only though?
You might also want to give "automatic task killer" from the market a go too, first app I would install after flashing roms.

I have installed startup manager application and already disable them at the startup. But they still coming back once a while when the phone is running......
I have successfully stop them from launch at the starting but after a while, it keep coming back. What is more irritating is once i kill them, they launch again 1-2 hours later....
i am thinking , is there any application running underground which keep "calling" them ?
After reading the help section on the system panel I installed, apparently the way android works is by loading up apps that it thinks you might need, so that when you do open them, they're already sitting there ready. system panel shows you a list of apps that are open on your phone and running, open but in the background, and those that on standby. Most task killers only show all these as being open, when they actually all aren't. The maker of the app strongly advises against continually killing all apps, unless any of them have a problem. Anyway, that's just what I read.

I see. Now it does explains everything. Sounds factual to me, if you've read it in the help section of the system panel. Thank you.
Facts are so important in problem solving.
Can you tell us which apps are started every hours like that ??
On my side I would like to know if the following app can be killed :
* Device management
* DRM protected content storage
* SNS
*com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una
* com.sec.android.providers.downloads
*mobile AP settings
* Mobile Tracker settings
* Log provider
* My upload
* Settings
thanks
