I've installed applications on my atrix and those applicatons were there shown on my menu for sometime until now suddenly those apps are not shown on my menu! Why is that? Those apps are there in the installed apps catagory with a grey icon and a small sd card icon. Pls tell me how to fix this? This application is shown in the media area in the manage applications section.

More info please. Rooted? P-ROM? Which application/s?

If it's all apps that you installed to the SD card instead of internal storage, it might be that the SD card got unmounted. I get similar behavior sometimes after using USB mass storage mode...every once in a while it won't remount properly when I unplug USB and SD card apps will show installed but won't launch.
Reboot clears it up for me, but wouldn't be surprised if there's another way to fix.

Well,
this problem even I am facing! and its driving me nuts!
For me, I see, all the sideloaded apps are not showing up in "My Apps" menu.
There are solutions given in "Android Market" discussions.
tried them all! none works for me!
you can try them too! (but, they look like may or may not work kinds)

Another solution:

This one is pretty elaborate:

Please let me know if any of these work for you.

I had to reinstall some apps after I rooted with gingerbreak on my Atrix...
I've had that happen too, not rooted.
Kind of annoying.
I tend to see this problem with Angry Birds. It installs to /sdcard. Once the phone formated my /sdcard partition, probably after it thought it was corrupt.
after the last update it seems like moto added some kind of auto end for certain programs. sometimes i see the message that a certain app as been running for 45mins and draining battery and if i wanted it close but other programs like the browser and music player will close on their own when i put the phone to sleep. when i open a song with the stock music player and when i put the phone to sleep it would play for 2mins or so then stop and close the program. everything works fine when the screen is on. any way to turn this off?
i do use the autoend list in the task manager app but made sure that both the browser and music app is not in the list yet they still close. is this just my phone? im rooted but not running any themes and no other mods and on 4.1.83.
Anyone know what's going on here or is it just my phone?

just a guess do you have the phone in battery saver mode? Have you checked the stock task manager app to see if the programs are on the auto end list?

Well, I just got my new SGS II and noticed that on both the stock Bell firmware (KG3) and the most recent KH3 that the messaging app stays open (as per the Program Monitor widget). I have searched without finding any result. Anyone else notice this and / or have a fix?

It does, unfortunately I noticed this too but it uses little resource. It is annoying to see the open applications count as "one" when you have finished!

Apps like messaging and internet stay in the background even after you close it,because these apps are frequently used and they load faster the next time you use it,but dont worry the android OS will kill them eventually

I waited a long time and the Messaging application never actually closed.
I suspect it is a similar bug to the Contacts issue I had with Froyo where the application remained open. This was later fixed in Gingerbread...
Does anyone else see Messaging remain open in the Program Monitor widget?

It stays open for me also, If and when the resources get low enough it should close but since we have so much ram i don't think it will ever close. It doesn't really bother me.
Stop using task killers. The android os does not work like windows that relies on free memory. It keeps apps in memory so that they can be instantly opened later. Some system processes will even be started again after you close them.
If a program is in memory but not used for a while it will be flagged to be removed if another app needs more memory. Just because an app is in memory does not mean it is using your CPU.
You are wasting more battery by killing things that you will use again or that the system will restart anyway. This phone has a lot of memory, let the phone use it!

Thsnks for your reply; but, I am not using a task killer...
I am just wondering why the stock messaging application is displayed in the Program Monitor once exiting via the back button. Is it a known bug? Also, is there any way to fix it besides killing it or using another messaging app like Handcent?

Known bug, it's not a bug, it's a feature,
Your phone has almost 1 Gig of ram, why would you want to micro manage what apps use the ram, has your phone ever run out of ram, has your phone slowed down, does it lag, do you attribute this lag (if there is any) to the messaging app running in the background???
when I replaced my messaging app using stock sms app, then the bug/feature went away

I am not sure why, really. All I am looking for is to have the Program Monitor display 0 instead of a 1...
I am famous for leaving unused tasks open and like to monitor for them using that widget. If I understand correctly running tasks consume CPU which, in turn, drains the battery.
I have noticed that the messaging app is not in the Battery usage list; so, at this point it is an annoyance more than anything...

Thanks. I tried it and you are right. I ended up reverting though. Going to look into it more if/when I find time.
Hopefully it is not the same in the next firmware release; but, for now, it is only an annoyance.

No, dont use task killers. If anything, it only eats more resources. Android keeps those apps open for a reason, when you open it next time its quicker and actually needs to use less resources. Free memory= useless memory, If there is an app which needs more memory (like a game) android will automatically kill "suspended" apps on background to free up memory. And when you finish playing it will restore those apps again. Killing it with force only causes the app to restart again and again and again and again.... Even windows does it (a little bit differently though).
And if you really want to have control over your processes in background, use watchdog which will warn you if theres an app eating resources in the background.

Try Badass Battery Monitor
Look for Samsung Push Service in your apps list and un-install it!
If you use Samsung Apps, this program is automatically installed and stays active, won't let your phone go to sleep!

Instead of trying to uninstall apps, installing Magic Locker allows you to set power saving and this could be very helpful. In my case it doubled the battery life and I now have around 60% left in the evening.
Hope this helps.

There are a number of Apps you can install that will show running applications ~ SystemPanel is one such app.
It comes in two variant ~ Paid & Free.
The free version is okay for looking at what your apps are doing but it does not offer the same level of service that the paid version gives and in this case you do need the paid version.
Full version ($2.99) adds app manager (installer/uninstaller with multi-version APK archival), and long-term application resource monitor to solve app-related battery life problems.
However, for finding out what apps are using your battery you can do this with your phone's built-in settings.
Just navigate to Settings/Applications/Running Services and look at what apps are currently running.
If you don't need a particular app running simply tap on it and select 'Stop'.
Job done that is one app no longer running in the background.
Another option is to again go to Settings/Applications/Battery Usage.
Here you not only see the graph at the top but also a list of main running apps (note not all are shown).
Tap the graph at the top and it shows you various parameters i.e. when the screen was on and when the device was awake. Basically you need both to be the same. If the phone's screen was off but it remained awake you then have an app running constantly in the background.
So, press the back button and look at the list of apps showing. To terminate an app simply tap on it and this time select 'Force Close'.
Spend a little time now and again popping over to these two places (Running Services & Battery Usage) and you should be able to identify what app or apps are eating your battery.

In my case I chose MIUI but I think any theme should work as well. After installation it asked if I wanted to activate the battery saving mode which I accepted to check its performance as I was having battery drain as well and needed a solution.
I was happily surprised the next day. I hope all these issues are fixed by Samsung in ICS.

First, try to disable every unessesary syncing in accounts and notifications in app settings especially Facebook app (uncheck show notif for this app)
Are you rooted?
If yes, install droidwall (firewall app), use the white list to enable the apps that you need to be connected only.
If no, try to uninstall every free apps that you are not using (free apps = ads = data usage in background) and/or disable the mobile data when you dont need it?

Please can somebody tell me how much Android OS usage is normal on mobile data ? I think I will do a factory reset but I am still not sure what's causing this...
Really odd. Mine has only used 13MB in several days. Are you using smart network switch?
In the data usage settings, when you tap an app, there will be an option to Restrict background data. Check that for unessesary apps.
