I am using Eclipse to develop both C and Java. I have an Android phone, and when I connect it to my PC, Eclipse (?) automatically starts adb, even though all the Android projects are closed. Is there a way to prevent this happening?I want to tether my phone using pda-net to my PC, to use as a modem. pda-net cannot connect if another adb process is running.

I am NOT asking how to prevent these apps to start automatically at bootup, I could see that there are already a few threads for that and I read them. I am just wondering: why do these apps start automatically?
When I look at the list, I see that I rarely use some of these apps. Is this a setting that is defined within the application itself?
I have just got a HTC desire recently and am astonished at how short the battery life is. I downloaded the app killer and put the widget on my desktop. When I press it it shows me what apps are running. I clear them all but within minutes of me not touching ny phone they all are running again 8 in total I believe. Amongst the apps are Flickr, peep, footprints....

Now I find in 2.2 that theres Apps that start running without me even opening them and sometimes its 7-8 Apps at once which cant be good for battery life (and I've noticed a drop in that). Anyone else finding this? Anyway to stop apps Automatically starting once I connect to the Internet for example? as alot of them pop up after I do that, but other times the phones on idle and I select ATK and theres some appeared on it, last thing I want to do is check ATK every 10mines just to save battery.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer A100 tablet that I've upgraded to ICS (the upgrade went very smoothly, by the way). But under both ICS and the original Honeycomb, the Android OS has an annoying habit of starting a bunch of apps automatically. Facebook, Google Maps, media players and a whole host of apps that I do NOT want to start all by themselves. I found an "Advanced Task Manager" that will check every 5 minutes and kill unwanted apps automatically. But every time I check it there are still half a dozen apps running in the background that I don't want.
If it were just one or two apps, I would simply uninstall them. But it seems like half the factory apps are intent on restarting themselves no matter how many times they're turned off. My Acer has a very small battery, and I suspect I'd get much better battery life if it would only run the apps that I start manually.
Other than email and the system update manager, I really don't want any apps running in the background. And when I turn an app off, I want it to stay off until I restart it. Is there a way to edit the list of programs that start automatically? Do they all have to be disabled individually? I've checked a few of the apps, and don't see any way to disable the "automatic log-in", "check for new data" or whatever each program might call it's annoying insistence on starting whenever it wants to.
Some backround on this post. I own 2 android devices, a Samsung Galaxy i9003 and since yesterday, a Nexus 7.
I have ditched my Galaxy as a phone and gone to Blackberry due to battery issues, and apps on my Samsung draining the battery from full to empty in the space of a few hours, so I am now very careful about what I install. Since removing almost all the apps (and the SIM card) from the galaxy, I now have a battery live measured in days (including watching video) rather than hours just sitting doing nothing...
I understand the use of apps auto-starting themselves to provide notifications, such as Facebook, Twitter & Accuweather, but even though I do use these apps for what they are, I do not need them running all the time to provide a notification: The added "work" in starting the app to check updates is worth the extra battery life I get, as if I leave things alone to be automatically managed, my battery life is divided by 10... and having to flip the phone in and out of flight mode is a pain... (especially when you forget to activate it in the afternoon after charging and at 3 AM in the morning you have no battery left to call a taxi...)
So, what I would like to understand is this: Where does android store the information on autostarting applications? Even if I use a task killer, some apps will restart later on. Android must have some sort of task scheduler to restart registered apps after a certain amount of time has passed or on certain events.
how Android manages this list - and more importantly, how to change it, and also if there is any way to override the registered permissions of an app once it has been installed?
Question: Does Eclipse automatically zipalign?
In other words: If you use the Android 1.6 SDK, having it installed in Eclipse, and use Eclipse to sign your apk (right-click: Android Tools --> Export Signed Application Package), will your apk be zipaligned?
I checked out cupcake branch yesterday and made the full build and sdk successfully, and I also built the ADT 0.9 with the command cupcake/development/tools/eclipse/scripts /build_ server.sh on another Linux box. Then I updated the ADT 0.9 and set new SDK on Eclipse. Then I created a simple Android project Test with Android Project Wizard, the Eclipse created project files except the R.java and then reported following errors. Seems the resources are not correctly parsed. Errors: [2009-01-21 15:07:32 - Test] W/ResourceType( 267): Unable to get buffer of resource asset file [2009-01-21 15:07:32 - Test]
View 15 Replies View RelatedI have read that in order to clear data stored in the Android emulator I should start the emulator with the "-wipe-data" arguments. However, I can't see how to specify startup arguments. I have read that it should be possible to specify these in the "Target" tab of the Debug Configurations dialog. However, if I open Debug Configurations from the Eclipse Run menu all I see in the Target tab are radio buttons for "Manual" or "Automatic" Deployment Target Selection Mode, buttons for "Refresh" and "Manager..." and drop-down boxes for "Network Speed" and "Network Latency" options. There are buttons for "Details..." and "Start..." but these are grey. I can't see anywhere where I can enter a "-wipe-data" option. The Run Configurations dialog seems to be identical. (I am using Eclipse SDK 3.5.2)

I would like an app that can control my internet/3g connection in a time schedule. For instance turn off the internet at night when I don't use it and turn it on again the morning.
