Hey all. After I rooted my note 3 I went through using a "safe" list here on XDA to "freeze" bloatware via Titanium. All seems good except I noticed that when I long press the home key, (which takes me to running apps), and I select "task manager", Task manager immediately stops responding and force closes on its own. Is there something I have frozen that is causing this?

I am having some trouble with the 2.3.2 by Mur4ik. The problem is when I closed an application like K-9 Mail of Facebook or whatever, it takes about 20 seconds to reload the android home screen. During that time I get only the wallpaper and I have to wait to load the shortcuts and widgets.
Another symptom is when I move from and application to another without closing the first one, and then I go back to the first one through long press on home button, I find the application restarting.
For example if I am at the opera browser and I press home and open K-9 mail or a notebook app, and then long-press the home button and choose opera I find the page gone and it says loading, just like starting the app all over again.
This happens with all apps not only the browser.
Is this because the memory is simply not enough so the phone kills everything not currently active?
or is it a bug in the OS that needs to be looked into?
Apparently there was some app killing the launcher automatically. I looked into it after a friends advice over @modaco and foound that the app "super manager" has an autokill thingy in its widget.
Uninstalled it and testing now.

For some reason, I have a stalled app download in my notification bar. It shows that it is downloading, but it is stuck at 25%. I have rebooted twice already (once by holding the button until it turned off, and once by pressing the shutdown button that pops up after holding the button for a couple seconds).
And here's the real kicker: The app is successfully installed. I am able to open it up and run it flawlessly, and it even shows up in my downloaded apps list in the Market.
So, does anyone know of any way that I can get rid of this stalled download?
And tapping on the thing in the notification bar just opens up my downloaded apps page in the market, not the app that has stalled. There is no cancel button anywhere (that I can find).
Any help is much appreciated.
Strange
I would recommend uninstalling the app, rebooting, and then re-installing the app.
Heya is there any way to closed programs throw the side bar on android 3.2.1?
I cant closed it and it too many apps running on background and it make my tab too slow.
Please help me out

When you are done with an app use the back button to close it, the ones that show in the bar are recent, it doesn't necessarily mean they are running.

I echo his sentiment; you usually close applications by pressing the back button several times or selecting "Quit" or similar from menu. Pressing home button or switching to another application via the recent-menu leaves the app still running. Ie. try to use the back button more often.
Also, if you wish to see actual list of running applications and be able to force quit them, then I could suggest Advanced Task Manager ( https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hcnJvbi50YXNrTWFuYWdlciJd ) on Android Market; I have that one installed myself and it works just peachy.

this is exactly as how things should be done.. Only difference i use Advanced task killer Widget. But i set its settings to all off.. Especially Auto kill. and when ever i see there are things that decided on there own to run i just tap the widget on home screen and they are gone.You can also long tap and select what you wish to Kill. Its preference to use as to what one you use.. Just be sure it does not run in background. or it will become one of the things your trying to prevent .
Read this to understand why closing these is not unnecessary (other than for privacy reasons)
Task Killers... The Answer from Google & Developers
There are some ROMs that allow for this. However as the person above me pointed ot, its unnecessary. ICS has the built in ability to remove appps from the multitasking menu. I don't know if this suspends the app or something like that, or not.

Not neccesary with ICS
In ICS you just have to slide the aplications on the lists to the sides and they will dissapear.

anyone else noticed that even if you slide to close the app in ics if you go to running services you find the app is in fact still running? and to clarify i am talking apps that are not using outside services like updates/wifi

This is correct. Swiping away the app simply removes it from the list. I learned this when I Home buttoned out of Grand Theft Auto III, swiped to the right and it was still running in the background. Pretty much, it takes a task-killer to absolutely, positively stop an app. But, unless it's effecting your battery life, using wifi, or Bluetooth, there's not a huge need to kill apps. Android has some pretty smart algorithms to manage resources...making task killers unnecessary. You should only kill apps if you're sure they're effecting overall performance.
I just recently used this NIke+ running app, and pun intended , it just keeps on running.
It has been eating up my battery, even when I'm already done using it. I am currently using Samsung Galaxy Note, on ICS, and when I check on the battery consumption, it shows that Nike+ is on the top of the list, instead of the screen.
How do I shut this app down, or its background process? I am new to android
long press on the home button or go to task manager. kill the app.
or go to settings, applications, select that app and force close it.

I tried "Force Close" , however, this didn't seem to work as I can still see the app from the battery monitor. I ended up uninstalling it.
I'm running SACS TW ROM and for some reason when I long-press the HOME key, the application manager (recent apps) comes up, but disappears if I let go of the home button. It doesn't matter when I let go of home, it disappears. If I keep it held in, I can use the application manager fine, but as soon as I let go, it goes away. What could be causing this?
I have S-Voice turned off and I used Home2Shortcut to replace it with Google Now. Then I uninstalled Home2Shortcut to try to fix the issue, no luck. I also restored TW to defaults by clearing data and cache, no luck there either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's S-Voice.
Disabling "Open via the home key" in S-Voice settings makes the app manager not stay open. When that's re-enabled, the app manager will stay open. Ridiculous.
