I got my N1 today and installed taskiller and after killing apps, apps such as settings, messaging, gmail, voice input, etc keep reloading even if I dont use them. How do I prevent them from reloading after killing them? I am not rooted.
Which apps are reloading?
I said it in the first post.
Those are needed to keep the phone running unfortunately

Why when I switch my phone on into Android, loads(about 15) apps are running in Advanced App Killer, such as Myspace, Mail etc, things i've not yet touched on my phone. I close them, but after a few hours i check what apps are running and random apps i've not opened(nor appear on screen) are showing?
Anyone else have this?
I think your apps are opening because you have auto data sync turned on. If you turn off sync of these accounts (mail, myspace) they probably won't be active.

oh thank you, stupid question but where do i find the setting to switch auto sync off?
*****More Info*****
Found it, was in an obvious Accounts & Sync menu, man i feel stupid lol, thanks
From the home screen, puss the menu then settings, go to accounts and sync. Disable auto sync and especially background data. You will definitely notice less apps opening up, but you will have to enable it again if you want to do certain things. I.e. market, gmail etc...

The problem with turning off Background data and Auto-sync is you will lose other useful features, e.g. GMail notification, weather updates, Market app (requires Background data) etc.
I use an app called "Startup Auditor" which allows you to manually turn off the programs you don't want to run upon startup, and additionally, auto-run after startup.
Hope this helps.

I was just wondering if most people use the same google account for phones and their tablet or have people created a separate "tablet" account? I noticed all the apps i have installed on my phone reinstalled on my tablet the first time, which was ok, but I started thinking, what if i start putting roms on each, it seems it'd be very easy to start getting some apps on the phone but not on the tablet, and vice versa.
i.e facebook is not available for the tab, so now if i wipe my phone and put on a new rom is the auto restore not going to restore facebook anymore?
I was also curious about how google talk or apps like that might handle multiple logins, anyone have problems with that yet?
I use the same account.. that way I don't have to buy apps twice!
Also added my wifes gmail/gtalk accounts on there without any issues. It just prompts you for what user you want to sign in with when you start the app.
I also just use one account so I don't have to pay twice (especially since I paid for the $30 Slingbox app).
Google Talk handles multiple concurrent logins fairly well, as has been the case since it was available in the browser email.
If you don't want apps automatically reinstalled when flashing a new ROM, just uncheck the box during the initial setup. I find it annoying and tend to only reinstall apps when I have a need to use them.
I have a T-Mobile Motorola Defy that I have moved over to the Walmart Family Talk network (operated by T-Mobile). I am new to android but have a programming background.
I rooted the phone using SuperOneClick in an attempt to delete the bloatware but it does not appear to be working. Although Superuser is installed, there are no applications populated in the list and no way to populate them so I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
I tried the following alternatives to delete the bloatware:
I went into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Blockbuster but the uninstall button is still greyed out so I am unable to uninstall it.
I opened the Moto Phone Portal console on my PCand went into the file manager but I do not see any of the bloatware applications to delete and cannot find any subdirectories that contain these applications.
So the question is... now that the phone is rooted, how do I delete the bloatware?
Ideally I would like to delete: AppPack, Blockbuster, DriveSmart, Kindle, Lookout Security & Antivirus, Music, News, News & Weather, Phone Portal, Slacker, Social Networking, T-Mobile My Account, TeleNav GPS Navigator for TMO, T-Mobile Visual Voicemail, Voice Command, and Voice Search. If you know of a reason why I should not delete one of these, please let me know.
In addition, I would like to remove the T-mobile account since it is always trying to sync and is unable as I am on the Walmart plan instead. Any information as to how to remove this account without deleting everything on my phone and restoring to factory settings would be appreciated.
You need an application like RootExplorer or Titanium Backup (or both). With RootExplorer you will be able to see not only your SD card content, but the internal memory of your phone.
All apps are located in /system/app - just go to this folder and delete the application you need to get rid.
NB - deleting applications might not be the smartest thing to do, as there are many apps that are related to other - important ones. For example, a coworker of mine deleted Yahoo messenger, as (in his opinion) he was not using it, but it is neccessary for the contacts app, so after deleting it, he was unable to access any of his contacts - the app was force closing right after trying to open it.
A safer way is to use TitaniumBackup to just "freeze" an app and make sure it is not going to cause troubles. This way, if you need to restore it, you can just do so...
And even this is probably not gonna give you the desired results. I would just recommend using any of the custom ROM's that are out there - stable and fast, and all Motorola's bloatware has been removed.
make sure you clear data before deleting apps just in case..
I noticed that the messaging service is running full time and wondered if its even needed with the n7 WiFi version?
I just stopped the phone app. Will look in apps and delete but i would like to reduce the use of apps I'm not even using.
Here, a picture to see what I'm saying. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1ql7ydolU52MkM5X242bFduazQ/edit
From what I recall, that service powers the push-notification mechanism of Android. Killing it would break gtalk, market, gmail and no doubt lots more.

Yeah, I figured this was the case. I deleted phone from my apps anyway.
The Gmail app keeps closing. It just started doing this today. Cleared the storage, uninstalled updates, disabled and re-enabled the app, and I also cleared the storage on play services. Anyone else having this issue? I really don't want to do a phone reset.
No, been using mine off & on today without anything unusual...
Sounds like you did everything to check it and assuming you rebooted. kinda weird
uninstall updates for android system webviewer. gmail, banking apps, facebook was force closing. once i did that everything is working fine

I uninstalled this and it worked. All of the sudden this evening Gmail stopped working as did the Google app. Thanks for the fix, but why did this happen in the first place, lol. I just want my OnePlus 9 pro!!
