Hi everyone, I got a little question for you: I've noticed that everytime I activate data connections on the phone, all google apps and other internet related apps start automatically in background. is there a way to stop this behaviour?

You can install a task manager like advanced task killer, and add the services and apps that automatically start to the autokill list. That way, if any app shall start, the task killer shall automatically kill the app.
allready tried with this but still programs are autostarting...

Is there a way to stop some of the applications that start automatically on system startup? I don't need applications like Music, PC Synchronization, Meembo, Sipdroid, Footprints, etc to start.
Thanks in advance!
Search the Market for Startup Auditor. It's a dollar or two, but well worth the money.
No free apps?
autostarts does the job, is also paid. for startup auditor it says no root needed, so you probably can't disable system applications with it. didn't test it though, i am using autostarts, which works fine.
if you don't want to pay there are numerous free task managers out there which you can use to kill task manually, some have also an 'autokill' feature, which kills selected tasks as soon as they are send to background.
Hi,
When i kill all the running applications on my Experia X10 mini pro using Advanced Task Killer, it sometimes makes me reenter my pin. I've found that this is caused by killing "Backup & Restore". So i want to add this to my ignore list, but it's not in my list of running apps.
Is there a way to add apps to the ignore list, if they are not currently running? Or is there a way to force this to be running?
I'm running stock everything, straight out of the box.
You don't have to auto-kill. In fact you shouldn't with 2.1. Android will auto-kill if it needs more memory for apps you launch.
I just use advanced task killer to selectively kill running apps if I need them to die.
Having said that, advanced task killer does have auto-kill functionality and an ignore list to do what you're asking.

This phone has android 1.6. Also, I like my batterylife, so i regularly manually kill all open apps.
I know it has an ignore list to do what i want, but the problem lies in getting this app on the ignore list. Most of the time, it's not listed in ATK.
I have never had the need to auto kill anything since android 1.5. The only time there really is a need to kill something is if it hangs or leaks memory (in the later case you really should contact the developer of the app).
Most of the times if you auto kill everything it gets started directly due to schedule or service. Give it a try for a week without using any atk and you will probably see an improvement.
Hi there
sorry for asking I am somewhat new to Android.
I read very often that Google Maps should be froozen because it is a battery sucker. Now I am wondering how an application could drain the battery when I actually do not run the application.
How does Android itself deal with applications and quitting them?
I read conflicting recommendations about task managers stating that Android itself deals with this better.
So what is this freezing of apps? Does it prevent Android from starting it automatically?
Thanks for any education

Android is based on multi tasking ..ie many apps can run in the background even though you are not using it at the moment..say if you are using maps and once you're done you just exit it. However maps app will be running in background if not exited in proper manner( either using the app or by going to running services in settings and force closing).
Also certain apps are configured to autorun under certain circumstances ..say for maps or Facebook app! -try keeping your wifi /data off! Go to settings/apps/running services/menu-cached process and force close Facebook,maps however once you turn on data /wifi they will run automatically! Just check it out yourself ..
Solutions for such problems could be either to use autorun managers or to freeze the app -freezing makes the app unavailable for use until you de-freeze!ie it blocks the app from running ..
Above said statements /examples are from my experiences!correct me if I'm wrong!

Yes but be careful, if you use task killers to kill them, they may start again and this will consume more battery than the program running.
Imho the best way to go about this is the following:
- go get Quick System Info PRO from Market (it's free)
- set it up so that it places a CPU usage icon on your status bar (the notification for that icon is also animated)
- when you find the device is sluggish and CPU usage is high, tap the notification and go to the Processes tab
- sort by CPU usage
- kill whatever it is that is using the CPU
And you may also kill all tasks just once before going to bed or something, just in case.
To stop maps, use autostarts disable all maps have in there, then you can be cool

Seems like many applications spring back up after "killing" them though the Android task manager or any of the task managers available in market. Is annoying the hell out of me. If im not using the app I dont want it to.run in the background..
I understand that messaging applications need to run in background but not all.
How do you guys make sure
that any application which you close "remains" closed until the next time you open it?
Thank me if I helped you..

You might try Gemini app manager to disable auto start apps

Easy Task Killer can help too..
use Easy Battery Saver too along with it!
Thanks.for your replies guys. However.i believe the main question here is,.how.to.stop these background app processes from running until the next time I start them manually.
Problem with task managers is that they stop these apps after a certain interval. Once they do, the.apps restart after 2-5 seconds. And.remain there till the next interval of the task killer is reached. This in turn take up more memory a compared to keep the running.. In addition, these apps run in the background on their own taking up a junk of memory/processor space..
Thanks again for your replies. Please correct me.if my understanding is wrong and you are feel otherwise.
Thank me if I helped you..

Those "apps" that you say keep opening are actually the processes running in the background. I know of many apps that keep re-enabling their processes after killing them. (IE: Facebook, some Google stuff, and a couple games that run in real-time)
Best solution: try to go into the app's settings and see if there is an option to disable anything that would require a background service to run, IE: sync, updates... If not, then just stop killing that app. Ignore it in the list or set a task killer to ignore it. If the app keeps re-opening, you killing it all the time is only doing bad because it puts more stress on the operating system because it has to take the time to reinitialize the app/service. If you are really that anal about background running apps, set android to limit a lower amount of background apps to run.
Like asdot suggested above use Gemini App Manager to disable the apps autostart permissions. If an app is set to automatically start after a certain intent is broadcast by the system (ie, at boot, or at a change in connectivity, etc.) you can use Gemini to stop that app from automatically starting. You can stop an app from automatically running in the first place instead if trying to kill it after it has started.
hi
is there any app that blocks another apps to start. for example if i close the facebook app and remove it from the memory with the task manager, facebook starts after 10 seconds again. i dont mean apps like task killer that kill the app after it started. i hope you understand my question
Sorry for my bad englisch
Autostarts, startup manager, and system tuner.

Android by design kill tasks when the resources become sparse. For this to work, an app must be able to request to be restarted once this occurs - the app (or more correct, "service") is sticky. This is why when you close the facebook app, it's restarted within seconds anyway.
If you are running Android 4 (ICS) or later, you can tell the phone not to autostart apps at boot directly from the Settings menu. Enter settings -> apps -> all, select e.g. Facebook, then click the button "Disable". Now it's gone, and for real this time! The disable button is at the place on the "Uninstall" button, and uninstallable apps are not possible to disable this way - but you can always remove them.
Some apps are neither disable nor uninstallable, though.
But if the autostart app is parental control r something like that, it wold be harder. Firstly the thing would not let you to settings. You could fool it when some settings notification appears, like there is wifi, by clicking on it you will get there without a problem, but you would not be able to delete it. To deal with it, I do personally recommend this: Root your device, get total commander for android (no, trust me, ES would not make it), open TC, get to mnt/asec where are stored installed apps files, find folder attached to that app, change the permisions that everybody could write in it, change ownership and group to some of your other apps and delete that folder. At the end, there shoul be emty folder with an emty folder in it. That should **** up the app so much that its not going to work anymore. Now you can do whatever you want.
Use Purify app
u can use boot manager module in xposed
I'm using clean master and it allows me to bock these app from autostarting.
It can solve by greenify pro smartly. You can google for greenify. After installing greenify (xposed installer) (need allow some feature) allow the modules it will work 100℅. If any errors message me on Facebook/n3xt2u
