I am running an EU streak with the official 2.2 upgrade (318).
I have several additional programs installed, such as Skype, fring, BBC news, ebay, WiFi manager.
I don't normally use these. But every now and then, when I check the Task manager, I see that it offers to kill those, so it seems they are started automatically. I don't have 'automatic updating' turned on in the market app, which is one reason I think they could be started'.
what else could cause those apps to restart every so often?

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.

in standard task manager click menu view processes to see lots more of what is running.
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
Hi folks,
Dont know what is happening here, but for whatever reason I cannot install any apps from AppBrain or Market.
This problem also exists or is consistent with no matter which ROM that I use, meaning if I use JoeStones, CM7, whatever.
Saying this, I what I can do is download .APK files or apps on my own webspace fine enough. Which then show up in downloads and install fine so just not sure why it is that I cannot install from Market or Appbrain.
The message I get from Market is when clicking install is: Starting Download
And that is it, nothing else happens and it seems to sit on that for endlessly so then cancel it and try to figure out why it wont download so I can install, hence which brings me to here making this post.
Any ideas or possible solutions?
(I have also used the reset factory after doing previous installs with no effect)
Folks, I finally found the answer to my problem to the questions I asked.
For the sake of others whom come across the same problem ever, in this instance it may have something to do with what Modem/Router/Firewall you are using.
The case for me I am using a Billion modem router with firewall set to high and discovered I need to allow TCP port 5228 allow outbound traffic to the exceptions or rules.
This then allows google talk to start straight up and downloads just flew down over my WLAN where I use my phone.
Sorry for all the previous questions or posts, but I never knew that Market downloading was on a Port related task basis.
Good luck to others whom also come across this issue.
Cheers
Same Problme for me..I am using GPRS only how to solve my Problem...
Hi there,
my problem is that I can't download some apps from market. These apps are large (like Angry Birds or similar, bigger that 15 mb). When I try to download a notification appears, which tells me, that it's starting download and then it disappears. And with smaller apps like translator or astrid task list I don't have any problems.
It started about 1-2 weeks ago.
The problem isn't in my network connection - I disabled firewall (droidwall), checked if app will be downloaded on gprs/edge, 3g and multiple wi-fi's (included hotspot made by my friend from his htc, which downloads apps).
I looked over the web to find the solution and here's the list of what I've tried:
1. Log in to gtalk while downloading.
2. Delete market cache.
3. Delete market data.
4. Delete download manager cache&data.
5. Unmount SD card while download is starting (and mount it back).
6. Uninstall market updates.
7. Make '.cache' folder on sd card.
And it didn't work. I didn't try to use factory reset, but I believe you'll find the solution (btw what does factory reset delete?).
Please help me, because I simply don't know what to do next.
Ah, and last thing: I use Android 2.3.5, swiftdroid 2.0 rc4 (based on cyanogen mod 7.1.0 RC1).
Which is the best rom that supports all the things????with out market android sucks
So ill go into my system panel and kill all apps. Ill have about 160mb of memory free. Then the launcher obviously restarts and system panel and my widgets all start back up, but what i dint hnderstand is why do thi gs like google voice or the music player start up in the background if i havent even used them? They start up almost instantly....
How can i make sure **** stays off?

Start up manager or similar from the market. Take care though, if you block something that system wants to be launched, it may keep attempting to launch it, leading to high battery consumption
Some app include a service, which they are executed in background. If the service is maually stopped, android can launch it again.
There are many application on the market which stop periodically these app. The point is that if it has a service, there is a reason, and by stopping it, you can obtain a strange comportment.
By example, in the first version of Android, gtalk was used for the authentification on android market, it is very strange but it was like that. The user was not informed of this link which was a kind of transparent. So if you stopped gtalk, you were not able to go on the market.
Do you need a lot of RAM? If yes uninstall the application you don t use, but I advise you to not stop mannually or automatically the application on your phone.
I guess thats how android functions as such. I tried stopping these programs so many times using apps from the market, but it starts again n few minutes. So its like we are wasting our time trying to kill apps.
Autostarts and/or Android Optimizer will stop any unwanted apps from running constantly. Works for me but just make sure you know what you are doing so you don't stop something you need (as described above)..
Does anyone know how can I uninstall the default applications like browser,video player,photo viewer..etc on a Archos 70 Internet Tablet?Has already someone tried this before?
You cannot remove them because they are baked into the read only system image.
a) you can hide them, with the +rw rooting package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930197 but it doesn't give you more disk space
b) you can use custom roms like urukdroid
It's your choice.
there is no software which can disassemble the rom from archos to get those out of there?is there a kitchen for archos's rom's?
Nobody has ever written that kitchen software. But this is what Urukdroid was made for
If you are rooted, titanium backup could do the job

On a related note: I have several apps installed for experimental purposes. I do not want these apps to be started (= become active) automatically.
The same goes for several standard apps. E.g., I often see tasks running for Gallery, Google services, Archos Firmware Update (pointless since I'm running UrukDroid).
Is there a way to prevent this?

Titanium Backup Pro.
Thanks for the suggestion.
As I understand it I can use this to freeze apps (make them temporarily unavailable). What I want is to just prevent automatically starting of an app, while the app is still available in the full app overview and can be started manually. Can this be done as well?

Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted to do and I don't know of anything that will do what you want.

@sciurius:
Android was designed as an OS for mobilephones and they had slow external memory when this started.
So one of the esignes of android is that every sw dev can decide how much of the software should be in memory as long as possible by implementing parts as a so called service.
These get started everytime the device is run.
Other programs get started because they where started by you often, or because they answer to some systemmessages
First get some infos about "Autostart Manager" Apps, some work without root.
Might be interesting to get some infos and you might be able to even write somekind of artikel.
This one is in german, but you just use google translate.
Hi
I use android assistant (available on the market) with an option which may prevent some apps to start
