How do i close a program in the magic, i dont want it running in the background. Is there a prog like a taskmanager or something..??
Hi ,
Download "advance task manager lite" off the Market. This is a very very helpful app which can close all your programs running and very simple to use. And it is Free.
If you need anymore help feel free to post back

There is no such app in my market. Can anyone share a free version? Thanks

It's a free version. The actual name is "Advanced Task Manager Lite" so do a search on "Advanced".
I did do a search and can't find it. Anyone else managed to find it under Rogers in Canada?
I can easy find it. I use it every day, but i find it a bit strange that you cant close apps in any other way! And alot of programs doesnt have a "Quit/Exit" function.
Does anyone have any explanation to why its not possible to close programs without download extra programs?
you know,
I think i heard Something about when you leave the app , it does actually sort of close.
It saves the state you left it in (freezes) and unfreezes when you enter it again. So really the App is not running or using any comsumption at all until you are in the app.

This is true.
It is because android is awesome at app management. There is no real need for closing apps. It leaves apps kinda open (saves their state in ram) but not running. That`s why most apps open so fast. And even though more ram is "in use" it doesn`t cost you battery life.
Thanks for confirming ,
What a fantatic way , The OS is fantastic and I can guarantee that Android has alot of potential and Can only get better and come up with more technological breaking idea's!!

Oh i didnt know that!! Sounds really fantastic. I have to get used to a whole new way of thinking then, i think im too used to windows
Anyway. I love Android more and more. But i was shocked when i found out that you cant send or receive files via bluetooth. I hope this is their number 1. priority in the next released. I mean, comon .. phones have been able to do this for 10 years now!

i did not find it either. i m using rogers too
but you can download Close Everything at Market for free.
i think those apps are similar. the only difference is you have to close EVERYTHING instead of choosing an app to end it.
anyway, the system is not getting slower even i open lots apps.
maybe, the "freeze" thing is true
yesterday I had my phone fully charged before i got to sleep, in the morning 8 hours later the battery was almost empty. GPS and WIFI was disabeld, so I think all the programs in the "background" ( a lot ) killed the battery.
Or what do you think killed the batt?

that did not happen to me yet
if you disable background data usage in data sync that will save batt life and lower data usage too.
do not know if that helps at all

alarms still work (tested just now)
i do not know how that app works ~oops~
maybe it does not work at all hahaha
not all programs stop running. some are designed to run in the background
the only real way to check what is running is to use a task manager
I paid $0.99 for advanced task manager. Its a good, but basic app. And hardly breaks the bank at that price!
The other issue I get is "go slows" sometimes on the phone. It doesn't seem to crash, just response times go into the seconds. I switch off and on to soft reset and its fine.

Why should I disable data usage? If i have an app that use data, then I only need to close the app. Please correct me if I´m wrong.
Hey there,
yesterday i was searching around the web cause of my battery drain (my hd2 was empty in <1 day).
Then i found an market app: Battery FU
What does it do? It simply disables mobile data connection, when the hd2 is in standby. after wake up the phone, the network is connecting.
now i lost 4-5% of my battery in ~4h in normal use.
Thats great!
Give it a try and post your experience.
(And sorry, if this is already posted)

Though it does save some battery...but I found it causes more data drops...maybe it'll work for you though..
so no background sync ? quite useless for a smartphone :-/

It's called manual update. I actually prefer to sync apps myself, then to have them doing it themselves all the time. So to each, his own...
Thanks for the tip, Prexx.

+1, Agree.
Why should my HD2 update the latests news all the time, when i just look every 1-2h on it? Makes no sense for me.
When i want to read them, i open the facebook-app or whatever, update the news and read them.

Little update:
8,5h without charging: 80% battery (normal use).

Manual sync is fine for news, facebook, etc but for emails/Google Voice you want push notifications.

Definitely +1 for that. I rely on my emails too much to have to manually update them every 15 mins, but it does sound like for some it could be really good.
I thought Messenger was mandatory but I can still chat through the FB app. Is this a custom app from Samsung or was I just out of the loop and used Messenger to drain my battery for no reason?

Interesting, I have no updates from Play Store requesting me to update Facebook... I guess I may be using the latest version? I do recall on my HTC device that it automatically opens Messenger. Currently have it disabled though - I feel it drains too much battery (does not even get tracked on power usage).
Thanks to this thread, I decided to see if my disabling the Messenger app - if I'd be able to do messages from within the Facebook app, which I had updated just a couple of days ago to the latest version - and it worked! =)

Guess Yes, my one is 3.5, currently ver = 21.0.0.4.12
you can remove your current fb and messenger
and then re-install the ver 3.5, and also disable auto update in play store =)
Does messenger drain the battery too much? I rarely use it anyway. Also when you disable it, do you still get notification for a message?
Overall I do like the floaty heads thing and would keep it if it doesn't really drain the battery.

When you disable messenger, no chat heads at all.
It does not drain battery when rarely in use however a lot of my friends text me with it and it becomes bothersome lol

I wonder if getting the new Facebook is worth it on the Note 4.

But who said it takes more battery than the regular Facebook app? The regular app also receives push notifications, so I don't understand why you think messenger consumes more battery.

Let's assume both receive notifications, double the notifications, double the listeners for an app that is redundant to another.

Maybe you are right. But its also possible that they designed both apps not to listen simultaneously. That would also prevent double notifications.

just same other app, it eat battery a lot, once they fixed the issue, the problem is gone.
because I experience it eat battery, so I removed the latest one and install the ver 3.5, now battery goes normal on my phone.
Hi:
I have been using p8 lite ale21 with EMUI 4.0 for the last 9 months and I have a repeating problem. After using the device for 20 days it becomes very sluggish - there is a lag between clicking on app and showing the window and overall performance seems degraded. I have also noticed that the free memory at the begging is < 50MB after 20 days < 300MB (vm suspect?). Rebooting the device solves the problem but for 20 days. Any ideas what is the problem or how to solve it?
Thanks,
Konstantin

Cache?
At the beginning cache was high (~330mb) but at the end low. I have also did not update any of the apps just to reduse deviations.

I did check both fb messanger lite and fb lite the do not consume a lot of system memory ( < 100mb) nor I see any high cpu usage (8 cores should be enough to handle that).

I believe I have figured out the problem - now I have to find the fix.
[pid:2546,cpu3,Binder_1]alloc_buffer_page: Out of mem, alloc_pages failed, order: 4!
This explains why sim card stop to work as well.

I had same problem, but my sim after 2 days didn't work! If you use Magisk then better use Superuser because it may be the problem

Hi,
I used to use an app for that on my S6 but seems it does not work on my S8 Oreo.
If someone has an idea...

Use data saver?
If you want data off with the screen off you will receive no internet app notifications with the built in data saver.
I have to open the apps manually to see updates.
You can also allow certain apps to bypass the data saver.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.
If your data saver was on it'd stop any processes even system from connecting to data services in the background.
If it didn't that would be shady.
I have noticed however going from AOSP Lineage 14.1 to S EX 8.0.0 it absolutely munches my data...
Until I rooted and removed all bloatware and some system apps that were just questionable...
One day the AOSP lords will come together and make the S8/+ owners cream themselves with that stock android goodness.
One day...
When all our screens have permanent burn-ins??
