[Q] Sgs task manager bug? - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi everyone, i'm just wondering if anyone had problem with the task manager when the media player and another app is running. When i want to end the other app that is running, it switch to the media player and ends this one. And i apologize for my english grammar, it's not my mother tongue.

nope, you are right, i've noticed the same bug too
everytime i click on the top item i want to close
it closes another one instead
but if you do it the opposite way from bottom up, then it works fine
it's a sensi touch error on that app
no need to recalibrate your screen

Hehe good to know i'm not the only one having the problem

Pnc bank app not working after update

Hi. I use this app quite frequently and after updating last night it seems to have stoped working. When I start it the screen just goes white. Is it possible that the art update caused this?

That "App" is just a link to the mobile site https://m.pnc.com try going there from your browser.

Using reason and logic. Then Yes!
Thx for the reply. I seen the mobile site is identical. I just liked than when using the app and trying to close it it would actually ask if u want to do that and then it would close completly. The stupid phone browser allways stays on in the background.

Gotcha, I use Dolphin HD, so when I hold down the "back" button on the phone it asks me if i want to exit and gives options to clear cache and recent history. 2c
It appears all the banking apps have the same problem after the update. The Bank of America app does exactly the same thing. Maybe it's a security thing.

apps closing themselves when phone in sleep mode

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?

Music player stops...take the gallery and purchased media and file manager off auto task

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?

Messaging Application Remains Open

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.

Apps start themselves in background

Hello guys I have a strange question:
a friend has the problem that sometimes he unlocks his phone, some apps are shown instead of the honescreen. He says he leaves the app via the back button, we could exclude that the apps start in the pocket. Also he shuts his phone off very rarely (right word?!? means not often).
Maybe you can help?
Thanks and Greets

He says its most of the times "contacts" or similar. so important and not ad-based. I think I will tell him to download an antivirus program to check his phone and something like sdmaid.
I mean if he doesnt start the app by himself, the app either has to start by itself or by another app right?
And if nothing helps could we really say that its caused by the software and tell him to do a factory reset or restore the system?
