[Q] Random apps starting up?

Why when I switch my phone on into Android, loads(about 15) apps are running in Advanced App Killer, such as Myspace, Mail etc, things i've not yet touched on my phone. I close them, but after a few hours i check what apps are running and random apps i've not opened(nor appear on screen) are showing?
Anyone else have this?

I think your apps are opening because you have auto data sync turned on. If you turn off sync of these accounts (mail, myspace) they probably won't be active.

oh thank you, stupid question but where do i find the setting to switch auto sync off?
*****More Info*****
Found it, was in an obvious Accounts & Sync menu, man i feel stupid lol, thanks

From the home screen, puss the menu then settings, go to accounts and sync. Disable auto sync and especially background data. You will definitely notice less apps opening up, but you will have to enable it again if you want to do certain things. I.e. market, gmail etc...

The problem with turning off Background data and Auto-sync is you will lose other useful features, e.g. GMail notification, weather updates, Market app (requires Background data) etc.
I use an app called "Startup Auditor" which allows you to manually turn off the programs you don't want to run upon startup, and additionally, auto-run after startup.
Hope this helps.

[Q] [Help] Notifcations for certain apps not working?

Hi all, is anyone else having issues with notifications from certain apps not showing up? For me it is Facebook's Pages Manager. I can not get notifications for this app to work at all. I've cleared the data, uninstalled and reinstalled, logged out on my old phone, uninstalled on my old phone, turned on "priority" notification mode...
Notifications for Facebook and Facebook Messenger work, although are somewhat slow. Is there some setting I've missed somewhere?
Thanks!

Yes, I'm having the same issue, Viber and Gmail initially, but for me, I also seem to have issues with apps staying awake. I use Timeriffic to change my profiles throughout the day, but after a few hours it just no longer seems to work and Smart Alarm, where my alarm just didn't go off.
I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but if I find one, I will post it.

A couple of apps not connecting?

ok, so the Facebook and Tumblr apps aren't connecting, they keep responding as if my internet is down but the Facebook mobile site works fine, while the tumblr mobile site still doesn't connect, chrome shows Err_connection_refused, anyone know whats wrong?

Are you using Wifi or mobile?
Have you tried force closing/ clearing cache of the apps and then trying again?
We can't really diagnose without additional information.

Mobile network restriction?!

Hi,
I own a Huawei P8 that runs on B370.
From time to time I get this pop-up message when opening an app that asks me if I want to remove the data restriction. Offcourse I choose to remove the restriction. But that doesn't seem to help. I've added some screenshots (in dutch).
Things i've noticed while on data connection:
Google apps don't work
Synchronization problems in google-account
Gmail (+others) asks to sign in, but when pressing the button it doesn't
No location services
Tethering/hotspot doesn't work probably due to no access
Some apps (snapchat, etc.) don't load or pushes notifications
While other apps run smoothly on my data network...
On wifi no problems!!
I don't want to do a full reset of my phone, so I hope somebody knows how to fix this!
Thanks!

Try updating to B380. There are some changes to data management ui. Before that you can clear the data of System manager app.

[GT-S6102B] DownloadManager consuming my 3g background

Hi all,
I'm using my old S6102 while my cell phone doesn't return the warranty. I have seen that my daily 3g data packet (50MB) has finished very fast, and only use whatsapp. Some background process is consuming my 3g. I installed the program Mobile Counter to monitor my network.
The process appears as Download Manager and too android.process.media, consuming 45MB, sometimes download, sometimes upload. But I have no way of knowing, what is being transferred.
Do you know of any method how to find it?
May be the google play service app trying to silently be installed by the google play store, but after I installed whatsapp, I did not see the installation attempt, when it installed, it appeared that the system was low memory.
I set Google Play Store for isn't to update automatically, and installed root to uninstall some programs useless and after unroot.
My rom is the stock, already did wipe data, after and their updates, all ok. After did download the apk from samsung site for updated the google play store, but the problem continues.
I set in:
General sync settings
Background data - marked
Auto sync - marked
Backup and restore
Back up my data - unmarked
Automatic restore - unmarked
Does anyone know what is consuming my 3g internet?
Thanks! Help me!
