[Q] Prevent Facebook-service from running - without removing facebook - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? All suggestions I see are to remove facebook.
For me I would like to keep it on the phone, as I use it twice a week, but I hate that it always has a service running which takes up to 10mb of ram.
I tried removing that service from the startup list, but it puts itself back in again.
I don't care about the facebook updates (eg. notification) I just want the program to be active when I click on it, not all the time.
Any suggestions?

Freeze it if you have root?

Yeah, I just ROM toolbox for that, but it also removes the icon, so I have to get into ROM toolbox first to defrost it and then to facebook...
not that big a deal, but a little annoying Was hoping there was a more user friendly way

I dont think there is any other eay

I kicked it out of there aswell, but still finds it's way back.
I also disabled it's trigger events... it just keeps coming back.
If I didn't know any better i'd say it's a virus

Try AdFree from the market, maybe it removes it. Try Lookout as well, let it do a scan.
Report the theme in the market!

Its called AirPush. Download the app AirPush Detector and remove the offending app. AdFree & Lookout will not remove it.

Never had that issue.. I know some folks said google was still working on it.. I had issues with it sayin I had no apps... Also saying I didn't pay for things lol.. Even tho I did.. So I cleared the data for it and it worked fine...
Drives me crazy, I tried to searchbar an app, after 5 connection re tries I did a hard reset and it works, which is good. But I shouldn't have to do that. Just annoying. Lol

Have you tried clearing the data for it under applications in the settings menu?
Go into manage applications on your settings. Look for Google play store and clear data. Download this Google play apk http://lts.cr/Be2R
Install it and that should fix your problem.

Kill services at specific time?

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can get Tasker or any other alternative app which kills services, not just the application, at a specific time?
Thanks.

What exactly do you need to do this for? You can freeze services via Titanium Backup.

I need something like Tasker to kill certain services at 00.30 for example , facebook, whatsapp and juice defender (I've noticed that juice defender drains the battery, even in night mode).

Doesn't seem to fulfil the job I'm afraid.

Is it safe to delete the stock messaging app?

I use gosms and for some reason the stock app notify me more times then the gosms.... I was going to try and delete it but I don't know how embedded it is in the system and I don't want to break something.

Don't delete it you'll ruin you're sms capabilities just shut off its notification

I would used Titanium Backup to freeze it and test whatever sms client you are using instead. I use Google Voice for everything and have had my messaging frozen (disabled) and everything works.

I use Handcent and have uninstalled (with TiBU) the stock messaging account on just about every ROM I've flashed on all 3 of my EVO's (4G, View, and LTE) with never an issue.

Which phone app is okay to remove when a Rom comes with two?

I prefer the AOSP phone app myself, but why remove one at all? Just use Titanium Backup to freeze which ever one you don't want to use. That way if a problem comes up with the phone app you choose to keep, you can unfreeze the other.
Cheers!
