Maybe I am misunderstanding something but I believe Android is supposed to automatically kill "unused" tasks after a while. Is that correct? I own a Galaxy S and I see that I still have in the running tasks list some apps that I haven't used for more than 18 hours. And these taks do not make any kind of auto sync, they communicate with the network only when used actively. Am I misunderstanding something?

Can you set your advanced task killer to automatically kill apps that you haven't used for a certain amount of time? for example 10 minutes?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm about to retire my trusty old Epic 4G and whats the best way to store my battery on it. I will be removing it but I'm not sure whether I should store it fully charged or half way charged. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that you should store your battery with 50% charge for it to have some life if you ever need to use the phone months or a few years time. Storing it fully charged can pose a threat due to the battery blowing up?!?! Not sure if this is correct or not. What to do to preserve your unused batteries in your old phones?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the startup auditor and Task Panel apps. I want to try and setup the phone to always have as much memory available as possible. Most of them are pretty obvious but there are a few I'm not sure of. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of services/processes/etc. that we can safely kill off and/or set for auto-kill/disable at startup? Edit: One I was curious about is Google Partner Setup. I have killed it off without any issues through Task Panel. But would having it on the auto-kill list be OK?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I use adb to perform some automated tasks on my android phone? I need to find commands that I can issue from the command line (ideally, using a .bat file) that will be capable of more than simply opening an application or sending an input keyevent (button press).
For instance, I want to toggle Airplane Mode on or off from the command line. Currently, the best I can do is launch the Wireless & network settings menu and then use input keyevents to click Airplane mode:
CODE:.................
There are quite a few drawbacks to this method, primarily that the screen has to be on and unlocked. Also, the tasks I want to do are much broader than this simple example. Other things I'd like to do if possible:
1.Play an mp3 and set it on repeat. Current solution:
CODE:..................
2.Play a video. (current solution: open MediaGallery, send keyevents, similar to above)
3.Change the volume (current solution: send volume-up button keyevents)
4.Change the display timeout (current solution: open sound & display settings, send keyevents)
As before, these all require the screen to be on and unlocked. The other major drawback to using keyevents is if the UI of the application is changed, the keyevents will no longer perform the correct function. If there is no easier way to do these sort of things, is there at least a way to turn the screen on (using adb) when it is off? Or to have keyevents still work when the screen is off?
I'm not very familiar with java. That said, I've seen code like the following (source: http://yenliangl.blogspot.com/2009/12/toggle-airplane-mode.html) to change a setting on the phone:
Settings.System.putInt(Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 1 /* 1 or 0 */);
How do I translate something like the above into an adb shell command? Is this possible, or the wrong way to think about it?
I would like to be able to synchronize Contacts, Tasks, Calendars, and Texts between my PC and my Andoid phone. I would like to do this without using Google, since Google stores the stuff on their servers.
At the moment, my email resides on a server we own in a NOC.
I use Thunderbird with Lightning on my PC which gives me email, tasks, calendar, and contacts in one interface.
I then use MyPhoneExplorer to Sync with my Android. This gives me tasks, calendar, and contacts synchronized, but all in separate interfaces and then I've got K-9 for email which is again separate.
What I'd like is an email client that included tasks, calendar, and integrated properly with contacts on both my PC and my Android.
I'm willing to use pretty much any software on the PC and on the Android, but I've found nothing that does this cleanly.
My tasks are email centric, meaning that I create tasks out of emails because that's how I get work requests.
I'm willing to use any combination of apps on my PC and on my Android, but the ideal solution would be one applications for all of it which integrated nicely with the Android phone contact list.
Based on some quick tests, I've noticed the following: if you kill the Google Messaging Service, Chrome to Phone (a.k.a. Send to Phone) will stop working.
This seems rather obvious, but I had been in the habit of killing the Google Talk Service (GTalk) prior to Froyo. After Froyo, it looks like the service was renamed/replaced with Google Messaging Service.
I suspect that killing the Google Messaging Service could affect other Google services too.
Can you confirm that the G1's Qualcomm MSM7201 CPU does not support java hardware acceleration? (Re: Android game developers desperately need optimised game engine example code). I'm reading here[1]:
"528 MHz ARM11 Jazelle™[2] Java� hardware acceleration"
And from what I've read on the net, MSM7201A-a is the dual-core CPU powering the G1. So, can you confirm that Android could be faster, if Android could use the Java, instead of the Dalvik VM, and that this didn't happen because of Sun?

I have some resources in my app that are going to be loaded optionally for different brands. I don't want to set up entirely different projects each time we re-brand the app so I want to know if the resources that are not used will be always packaged in and if there is a way to avoid this.

It seems that what's draining my battery the most is my poor signal at work. I killed mobile data today while at my desk and despite the battery having just turned orange, it didn't turn red for nearly 5 more hours. So, I'd like an app that will kill the data connection at a certain time. Timer fix and Setting Profiles Lite don't have the option to just kill data, only an airplane mode option.

I'm running on a stock phone, HAS NEVER BEEN ROOTED,
As Wildfire has 7 screens, I use only 2 i.e: Home screen with clock etc. and 1 more screen in which i have shortcuts for apps. Rest all other screens are blank. Is it possible to remove those unused screens ? Or atleast maybe reduce from 7 to 3 ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did was use the search function and after 10 pages I could not see what I was looking for. In java, we use method parameters for a number of reasons but I've never used parameters in my methods unless I needed them..When defining a method in android for a button that I want to click, I had my method defined in XML under the Button element
[HIGH]androidnClick="showText"[/HIGH]
then, in my ProjectName.java file I defined the method
[HIGH]public void showText(View view){
}[/HIGH]
I was told that the View in the parameter is the view that was clicked.Button is a subclass of View as is TextView and since that is the case,is this the rule for just the onClick method? Also, why can I not pass the Button as a parameter? Button is the actual "View" being clicked, so why not Button?
Furthermore, are there other methods similar to this and if so, do they all follow the rule just like the View parameter, where let's say if I had a class called "A" and it had a subclass "B" and that class had a subclass "C", and if I wanted to use the onClick method, I can only pass the Highest Class as the parameter?
To simplify that, are there ever cases where I would pass anything else OTHER THAN "View" as the parameter to these methods?
Is there an app that enables a clean up of old unused files, cache, internet files, etc

I did change the advanced wifi settings sleep policy to Never, but still shows disconnected. I am sure that i am well in the range of my wireless router and that it is switched on at all times. This is very annoying cause i have to turn ON and OFF the wireless adapter on my phone to regain connection to use other apps.
