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
I am on the March 5th build of ICS from Quarx, and have only experienced this issue on this ROM, however I have not tried going to another version to see if it's something I viewed/downloaded.
Every once in awhile I get a notification, it looks exactly like a smaller version of the Messaging app's icon. The title says something like "Faster, Better" etc. and once I click on it there is an image of an ad for UC Browser 8. It only happens when I have internet, but all I can do is swipe the notification and wait for it to happen again.
There is a folder in the root of my SD card called Joy. Inside are three more folders: Cache, PopAd, and config. Nothing in Cache, PopAd includes the ADucweb_en.jpg image that pops up. In config there is dk.pro, popAd.config, running.config, and sys.config.
When I delete the folder, it reappears once the ad pops up- which seems to coincide with why I always need internet when the ad pops up.
Any advice on how to handle this? It's annoying and could be simply malware (AVG finds nothing wrong) but it seems to be a total breach of privacy and security that a folder is able to redownload itself continuously against the user's wishes. I'm unaware if this has anything to do with the person/people behind UC Browser 8, but I feel I need to contact them as well for malicious advertising by someone.
I had these same notifications happening, and found those files too. After installing "Addons Detector" I found that these were coming from an app I'd recently installed called "Mission Impossible FREE" (com.letang.game109.en).
I wonder if there's a better way to identify the app that creates a notification. Nearly anonymous notifications seem like an easy spam vector. It'd be nice if a long press on a notification message gave identifying details about it's origin.

problem solved
same problem here. thx to another member, i now know how to remove it permanently. when the ad pops up, take note of the game/app that it's advertising. go to market and find its developer. then check and see if you have any of their app/game installed in your phone. just uninstall them and you'll be able to delete the joy folder permanently. and the ad will never pop up again.
the developer that's making these ads in my phone is call LeTang, Inc. i think it's the same for you.
So i hate the garbage that comes along with these phones and want to get rid of some of the apps. I noticed i'm unable to do this through application manager? i dont care for the kies or kindle..
(I searched for similar issues but i didn't find any so, new thread)
One important feature is missing from Moto G5 plus, that is vibration alert when a call is connected (answered) or disconnected (hang up).
I found some apps in the play store which work exactly the same but just to be clear :
Am I right to say that this important feature is not available in G5 plus? (nougat)
also, I would appreciate if anybody could help me find 3rd party app which is not created by Chinese developers (from play store) "in case" I need to install 3rd party app, its just shameful that moto did not add imp feature like this.

Please Note: I am not racist, its just that there have been several rumors that "Chinese" apps leak personal data, so to be on the safer side, i took following measures:
1) I uninstalled UC browser (chinese), following data leak rumors
2) folder named "dianxin" which was suspected to be a malware which came after installing ES Explorer
..and many more...(My thread is not about this so these examples are enough to clarify that I am not racist.)
When I was on stock, I never had vibration when I would answer a call or hang up. So I'm assuming this is simply not a feature in the stock ROM.
As for your wariness of Chinese app developers, I can completely understand, and that "I'm not racist" was not necessary. A mature person realizes that you are not pigeonholing Chinese devs, but rather being aware of your privacy level with certain apps. I would ditch UC Browser for good and also ES Explorer; I find Chromium and Solid Explorer to be the best apps in their categories. :good:
You are right man, +1 already.
Can anyone please suggest me third party app which meets above description?
What could be the cause of fake phone notifications? When I am downloading something, the phone finalizes this process with two vibrations one by one. However, this also happens when I do not download anything. Internet turned off, this is not a notification from the application. It is completely random. This phenomenon increased after installing facebook. In addition, the application itself informs me that the apk file has been downloaded and is ready to be installed. There are no options in the settings to disable the automatic update even without the play store. Android Pie on every custom. Help : / because it's as I do not know. Did anyone have something like that?
