Android :: App For Task Kill Schedule
Dec 25, 2009I am looking for an app that kills tasks that are running on a schedule. To be able to choose how often it kills the tasks, 5 or 15 or 30 minutes. So I can have the app running and know that every lets say 15 minutes it kills the tasks that I selected to always be killed I would prefer this method over screen blank apps that kill tasks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Schedule Background Task?
Jan 14, 2010There seems to be a couple of ways to go about having a background task being executed. My usecase is to have my app fetch a datafeed every x minutes, regardless of my gui is running, and regardless of whether the phone is sleeping or not. I use an alarmmanager to schedule an intent matching a broadcastreceiver. in the onRecieve method i start a service (startService), which spawns an AsyncTask. The task fetches data and stores it and then stopSelf() the service.
in the onRecieve method i aquire a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, before starting the service, and just before calling stopSelf() in the service, i release it again. Is this really the best way to do it? Do i even need the service in this scenario? I experience odd behaviour with this setup, where the setup works for hours and then suddenly stops, which makes it very hard to debug. Does anyone have a simple foolproof method to achive the same end?

Android :: Repetitive Text Entry
Oct 20, 2010I've just made the switch from WinMo to Android (Samsung Galaxy). I was wondering if there is a good program for repetitive text entry? I used TapText by DinarSoft on WinMo and that was great for tapping and it would enter preconfigured text - date, name, address - anything you wanted! Is there anything similar for Android? I've had a search but all I can find is stuff for texting/sms but this is for use in any program that has a text field.

Nov 7, 2009I've been using Task Panel X and Advanced Task manager to kill unneeded tasks and keep memory at a maximum.
Recently, every time I open Task Panel X and then revert back to Home screen I get the HTC logo and then a loading screen while the device sets itself. This happens even if I kill NO tasks.
So my solution was to uninstall Task Panel X and then use just Advanced Task Manager. All the sudden, same result.
Everytime I open either of these apps and then go back to home screen I get a BLACK SCREEN WITH HTC LOGO, THEN A BRIEF (10 SECONDS) LOADING SCREEN. THEN ALL IS NORMAL.
HTC Droid Eris :: Task Killer - Task Manager
Dec 11, 2009I know this was talked about before at different times but I still have 3 questions.

3. when you look at the awake time if it is like 70% or 80% and you aren't using the phone a bunch I take it that means something is running,how can you find what is running.and is the awake time that big of deal?
Sprint HTC Hero :: How To Use - Task Manager - Task Killer App
Oct 15, 2009Looking for a guide on how to use task killer. I had task killer on and deleted it. I think I was killing tasks that were needed to keep certain functions running that I use frequently. If someone would take the time to help me understand how to use one, I think I would be much more successful with it.
example - text messaging just stopped ( werrent receiving them ) . Once I took task killer off, everything started working again.

Aug 22, 2009Anyway, I just wanted for everyone to post their favorite Task Manager/Killer, and why, and if there are any flaws. I personally use Advanced Task Killer Free. It has a simple UI, and the when you select or unselect apps it remebers it so next time you launch the app you can only remove the apps that you usually do, and keep ones that always run. It doesn't slow down or break the system.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Battery - Wifi 3g Gps Schedule?
Sep 20, 2010Is there any app's out there that you can put your wifi 3g gps etc on a schedule. Mainly to turn off like 12:00 AM to save battery, and turn back on at whatever time you set? I know there are some that will turn your wifi and 3g (user set) off if your battery gets below a certain point (user set) but these are like $3.00. To me it seems like a rip off, since its such a simple app... Anyways does anyone know of an app like this, if not would anyone be interested in developing it? Seems simple for someone who knows how to create app's. The reason I think this would be better than the battery manager's that just shut your data wifi and gps off after your battery hits a certain % is because sometimes your battery will be just charged but you will go to sleep at night leaving your wifi/3g on and your battery will drain until it hits whatever %, then the manager will turn your data off. Meanwhile you just lost a whole lot of battery that you didnt need to.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Schedule Multiple Notifications At Different Times
Mar 31, 2010I need to be able to schedule multiple Notifications at different times in the future.
I tried doing this with an AlarmManager, but that isn't suitable, for the following reason. From AlarmManager.set(): "If there is already an alarm for this Intent scheduled (with the equality of two intents being defined by filterEquals(Intent)), then it will be removed and replaced by this one."
Guess what, the sending intents are equal, apart from different Extra's (but those don't count for filterEquals).
So how can I schedule multiple notifications, which will still be shown when my application is killed (the whole reason I tried AlarmManager)?
