So yeah, like the title says...
I'm curious about this "Google Search (Enhanced)" service that keeps starting itself. What is it? Do we need it?
I'm trying to give myself a zippier phone and have been tweaking things with AutoStarts and ES Task Managers Auto-Kill feature. I don't use the search bar for anything, so is it possible to disable it from trying to keep itself running?
I keep trying to do search and keep getting errors, so I'm gonna take a chance and hope I don't get flamed I use advanced task killer, but it doesn't show the apps that I installed manually, IE not downloaded from market. Is there any convenient way to kill these apps?
They should appear just like the other apps from the market. Did you try refreshing it to see if they show up?
Hmm.. I don't see a refresh option in the menu. Only setting help and info. I thought there would be something in the setting tab, but I can't find anything

Try killing your task manager and opening up again. If the programs you installed outside of the market are running in the background then they will show up along with the others. Also, try another task killer.
Download and use autostarts in the market
Wow, I tried turning it off and on a few times and ATK finally found em. Thanks! Much appreciated, let's hope it keeps it up!
I updated today to Froyo on my Droid X and now everytime I use advanced task killer to close the browser and reopen it, it does not open to my default google homepage, but instead opens the last webpage I was viewing. Any way to fix?
Uninstall task killer. You don't need it. I used it @ first & I don't see any batt. life improvement. The Android OS is smart, it auto closes what it doesn't need. Task Killer makes the OS continually restart the processes it needs that task killer keeps stopping. Hope that helps some.

Task killers are still useful for manually force closing apps that aren't working properly or are causing problems. Just don't set them to autokill. And despite rumors I've heard about Froyo disabling task killers, my ATK still works fine after the 2.2 OTA update.

This has always been my "default" experience. This is the behavior i am used to as well. If I want my homepage I have to manually go there. So I would be interested to know if there were some sort of setting to accomplish this.
Btw- I have never used a task killer on my DX. I started NOT using one just as an experiment. Coming from WinMo it was very difficult at first to "minimize" every running app with out really "Xing" it out. But I am used to it now and I just let Android handle it. If I absolutely need to - I can just reset my phone. With WinMo I used to HAVE to do that 10X a day (literally)- so yeah - just thought I would throw that in there.
Hey guys,
Besides "Force Close" how do you close the stock music player?
On my Telus Milestone I can go into the built in Froyo Task Manager on that phone and close out the music player, but on the Atrix I don't see how to do so. If needed are there any 3rd party apps that can get the job done?
I'm really not a fan of pauing and leaving the music player open, heck even Pandora has an "exit" setting built into the app.
(Yes I know that task managers are bad *blah blah blah* but there's gotta be a fix for this)
Any ideas?...
Just pause it and hit home...
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

There's gotta be a better way.
Heck I could do this on my Desire, and Galaxy S...
There's a task manager built into the Atrix. It's aptly named, "Task Manager." Just check your app drawer. You can choose to "End Application" from there.
Alternatively, change your launcher to Go Launcher Ex and there will be a "Running" tab in your app drawer. Clicking on apps in that tab will allow you to close the app, among other things.

That's the thing that's really weird.
When the music player is running and you go into the "Atrix" Task Manager it shows the music player as "Not running" so you can't close it. If I use the music player on either my Froyo Milestone or my Froyo Galaxy S then "Both" of their Task Managers can shut it down.
Also when I use "Go Launcher EX" on the Atrix, it shows the music player as a running app, but it won't let you close it. When you try to close it, the app still sits there.
Somebody else try this and please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if you get it working, because that seems too buggy IMO.
The only way for now that I can stop the music player on my Atrix is by "Forcing it to stop" but there's gotta be a better way?...
Anyone?...

Yes I know task managers are unneeded. But I have one app that I want to control. If I use a task manager like advanced task killer it kills the app but not the apps service. So this means the service brings the app back to life after I kill the app. Is there a task manager that I can kill the app and service with one click?

Using CM7 I simply just hold the back button to kill it all together, like killing Jenga, or killing the stock android browser when it decides to act dumb with me
Enable under /Settings/Applications/Development/Stop app via long-press
Hope this helps....
use autokiller!
and check out my signature!
autokiller can not be used because I want to control when the app is closed. I use it and then want it dead.
I dont have cm7 so that doesn't help me to much.
