HTC Droid Eris :: Do You Really Need To Kill Processes?
Dec 31, 2009
I am sorry if this is something that already was talked about. However i didnt find a good thread about this so i am going to start a new one.I was told by one geek that i know (trust me, a big big geek) that Android OS learns what apps you use and which you dont. It takes time (1-2 weeks) of normal usage though.I also found this article. Why You Shouldn't Be Using a Task Killer with Android Geek For Me - Android CDMA Sprint Hero.Now I uninstalled ATK and seeing if the phones performance will be affected in the long run. I have a feeling that the first several days will be pretty slow, but i bed it will get better.What do you think? My buddy has been using his Eris w/out ATK for a week now and everything is smooth and quick.

After searching, I was unable to find any post that deals with my particular problem, and I don't know if it's a problem or something I have to deal with. On my LG Eve (unlocked, not yet rooted), when I run Task killer, I notice that there are two items in the list that look like configuration files (window with a gear in front of it):
com.tni.Task killer:Captain Obviously, the first one is linked to Task killer and if I kill the configuration file, it kills the Task killer process. When I try to kill beware.com, though, it does nothing. The file remains in the list and is also visible in the Task killer widget. (Speaking of the widget, when I kill Task killer, the icon for the 2 configuration files usually remain, even if I auto kill everything.) Doing a little searching on the tubes, I found that beware.com are the developer for Quick Settings. I don't think I downloaded that app yet, but I might have and subsequently deleted it. Is it possible that the configuration file remains after I un install an app? If so, how do I remove that con fig file?

I have a task killer and I assume it's killing a process that syncs for new emails [I've set it to auto update every 30 min] and even when I open the app it does not refresh till I manually press refresh. Which process exactly should I put on the ignore list so it will not kill it.

Is there an application or a way I can view running apps and processes on my phone from my PC? I have the eris (obviously not rooted but patiently awaiting the good news! good speed devs, good speed) with pdanet 2.41. I have a few applications I would like to mod while running.

The only way i can get the GPS status bar icon to not be there is to restart the phone. I can kill all running apps, kill all running services, and put it in airplane mode and it continues to sit there and blink the little green lines for hours.

I 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?

I subscribe to the church of not using a task killer but what I really would like is an app that I can select programs I don't want android to kill.
An example of why I want this: theres 3 to 4 websites I view for the most part on my phone. I like to open my browser and get it all set up in tabs on Dolphin. However, if I don't use it for while, I re-open the browser to find it had been closed and I have to repeat.
I'd use this in conjunction with the app that monitors CPU use (forgot what it was) and gives a notification if an app rises over a customized threshold in case the app started getting too hungry.

Speculation has surfaced on the net, that these two platforms will eventually kill Android. What's your opinion?

I always see people on this forum talking about having their phones rooted with the processor overclocked to 1+ ghz. The droid battery already has trouble lasting a day, how does overclocking not kill the battery extremely quickly?
Or does it and people decide it's worth it?

I feel like it only initializes when Maps or Foursquare opens. Otherwise, does it matter? Triangulation isn't always the nicest

So what are tge top killers of the battery? I know the obvious one is the screen. What else drains a huge amount of energy? Do things like multiple news feed widgets drain a lot of energy? I heard leaving GPS on absolutely wrecks your battery life as well.

Was doing fine until rain was coming, then battery dropped big time. Charged last night before bedtime, didn't use my phone all day and checked a little bit ago and was down to 50%. Normally I'd be at 80-90% under similar circumstances.
Here's the confusing part (Battery use):
42m 36s since unplugged.
Display: 67%
Cell standby: 26%
Phone idle: 8%
EDIT: BTW, this is LIVE weather.

I know I'm in the minority here but I DON"T want Froyo!! As a former Eris owner who had to suffer through having my phone ruined by the 2.1 update, which is why i now have a droid, I'm not willing to let verizon/moto ruin another phone I'm very happy with now... Is there a way to kill the message that comes up notifying me of the update or do I just have to be annoyed by it?

Is it possible to get list of all process which are running in the Android system, and kill some of them? I know that there are some applications (task managers), but I would like to write my own, simple application.
I would like to write simple task manager, just list of all process and button which will kill some of them.
Could you just write some Java methods which I can call in order to get list of process, and method for killing them. Or just give me some advices.

I have an app which declares a BroadcastReceiver, the receiver gets the broadcast, does what it needs to, then ends ensuring that everything is tidied up as needed. When I examine the system through the DDMS view in Eclipse the process for the application is still running after the receiver has completed. I've even boiled it down to a simple test case which gets a shared preferences instance from the context, checks a random setting, and then exits, and, when run on the 1.5 emulator (which is the minimum supported OS level) the process is still hanging around.The reason this is an issue is memory usage (which shows under DDMS as around 2MB).I've had queries about why the application still uses up memory even when it's not doing anything, so, my question is; Is this behaviour normal, or have I missed something that would make the process exit?

I've been able to send data via shared memory between threads within a process using MemoryFile.I then tried to send data between a service and an activity in different processes, but the data did not get passed. The name for each call the MemoryFile's constructor was the same.Is it possible to share data between processes using a MemoryFile?

I have a singleton class and I am using it to access databases. I would like to know how it would behave if I use the same from my remote service class which runs as a separate process. Will it create a new instance in that process or will it use the instance from the other process?

I have advanced task killer on my phone but am amazed at the numbers of processes it seems to kill. I have the ones I know I need set not to close down like adw launcher the HTC keyboard etc however it regularly reports its closed down 40 + processes when I run it.The I run it a few moments later, not having launched anything, and it reports shutting down another 20 or so.Is this right?Could this be the cause of the lagging? I am currently running JM5 firmware which seemed amazing to start with but now seems as laggy as it was before.

We were told that, as of Android 1.6, background processes were put in a Linux process scheduling class that limited how much CPU they would use. A few weeks ago, I ran a benchmark test that seemed to validate this claim.I have run more tests, and I am no longer confident in my earlier conclusion. I can get a background process to significantly impact the foreground process, more than would seem to be possible if the background process was, indeed, CPU-limited.

I'm having trouble using the nexus one in DDMS on Fedora 12. It is detected fine and I can see two processes, cooliris and uploader.These are the only two that show up. The emulator shows up just fine and i can debug from there. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get the nexus to connect properly?

I have read all about having separate processes for different Application components, and how to use them.I am curious, what are some appropriate use cases for when an application should actually use separate processes?It seems to me, the main advantage to using separate processes is to make the different portions of your app more easily killable by the OS.
