Is anyone having this issue with the Baked Snack 1.3 rom? Any fixes for it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It happened to me last night but I skipped to the next track and it stayed open.
I use MixZing. Most of the time there's no problem. However, with any of the launchers, there are a lot of Force Close incidences when the phone is in Landscape mode. I actually shut off auto-rotate because of this. It is worst with Launcher Pro. Is your phone in landscape mode when this happens?
No. its not a force close I dont think because there is no fc msg...but the app fails ever since I installed a new battery img to show the percent...plz help

i'm using player pro..no fc's here. don't use the stock music player but i'd recommend any of the ones listed in this thread.
Every couple of days my ring tones go to the annoying default ringtone, all I have to do is reboot my phone simple fact us it's annoying

Are the notification sounds in options being reset, or is it just the file won't play? Also, when it happens again see if you can play music in the music app. If it fails I'd net its the same crap from MOTO that plagues many DX's.

That's unusual. Are you running any exotic-type apps. Are you rooted? Apex has notification settings in the apps themselves. Just trying to figure this out.
Stock rooted and yea they wont play in music player when it happens they stop working until its rebooted wierd

Are you using gtunes to download your music? Formally known as mp3 music download... I had the same problem and noticed the ringtones would change after I would update the app... the app kept on updating like once a week

After rebooting
1) my browser returns to custom view (i set to desktop view alrdy under about:useragent)
Anyway there was no officially "view is desktop option"
2)music player does not continue from where u stop (at least my desire was much more intelligent)
Can anyone help?
The following observation has nth to do with restarting
While ok on whatsapp for an hour or so and within this session I had music player in the background for entertainment but every 15 mins or so it wil pause automatically. Anyone encounter or can solve

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.

Recent applications but you can swipe to close them.
Those are the recently used apps, even if I force close them they are still there.

ok they are recently used apps based on the comments. not necessarily running apps. Because sometimes this list grow so big, if so many running apps memory would blow into pieces.

Run the Walkman app and play some music. Come out of the app and then close it. See if the music stops

how do you close it? Just by hitting the return key? I dont think you can say stop play has terminated the app. It appears that would depend on each application. i.e. spoitfy will keep playing when you run other apps but youtube will stop playing immediately as soon as i switch or sleep. But they would still be running in the background. I read somewhere that the android OS makes its ultimate decision to when to close the app based on current memory usage and other factors.

No, what I mean is, you can check to see whether swiping them away closes the app or just removes it from the recent apps tray.
If you open the Walkman app and start playing music, hit the home button (the music keeps playing obviously) open the recent apps tray and swipe away Walkman. If the music stops, the app has been closed. If it doesn't, it has just removed it as a recent app.
