How to completely disable s memo ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I disabled s memo via android settings (there are two s memo apps actually in android applications-i disabled them both), but after some days s memo is still in my ram services in cached applications. The most weird part is that the amount of ram it reserves varies (from 7 to 20 mb) like it's an active application ! What has Samsung done ?? I am not rooted , everything in stock condition.

If you not rooted there is not much you can do. You already deactivated it but I think that's all you can do for now.

Thanks for the answer. I have disabled many bloatware apps and none of them activates itself again,taking ram space it should't. What is the deal with samsung and s memo ? Am i the only one ?

I just checked and S-Suggest is using 4.2 Mb in running services and S-Note has 2.2 Mb in cache on my Note 2. I still have about 750 Mb ram remaining so I haven't noticed any slow down.
May I ask how you switch off S-Voice, if you have.

S-voice is the first thing i disable. Go to settings - Applications Manager - All (third tab). You can choose which app you want to disable.

to "disable" it.. you have to be rooted. You can download applications like Titanium Backup to do the job or SystemAppRemover

I believe that disabling it from android settings is the same as freezing it with titbackup.

Titbackup sounds funny xD lol
Anyway, yes seems like it..

Same here. Disabled both instances but the process still appears, and... it's class is android.process.core. Hard-coded bloatware?

Daft question perhaps...
Have you also removed any widgets associated with it?

My phone is very slow. Please help!!

Hi all,
I bought my neo v last week and it was brilliant for 4-5 days. But nowadays the phone response very slow. When I come out of any app the icons take time show up. Earlier it happened only when I came out of games like temple run. Now I've uninstalled it. Now even when I came out if messaging or camera, the icons take time to build.
Sometimes during a call incoming, it takes long time to show the contract details.
Should I do something to check if everything is fine with the phone. I really doubt it is the speed of a 1 ghz processor. Also the ram has only around 50 mb free even only music player is running.
I've installed avira, which I suspect could be the reason for this slowdown. Im unable to uninstall either.
Could someone please help me with these for a android new comer? Please let me know if u needed more details to help me out.
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
Avira could be the cause, is it installed from market?
Find it Play or the phone's manage application screen to uninstall.
If it is still that slow then try a master reset, anyway it is just 4-5 days' thing to lose.
use superchager v6

Yes I've now uninstalled needless talk and power managers. It's getting better. But still I've only around 75 mb ram free. Most of the used part is occupied by system services and the software installed by se lyk liveware manager and data monitor. Any suggestion to stop them from unless needed? Anything other than rooting the device?

If you want to stop the bloatwares, you really need to root. You can freeze them or uninstall them permanently, just make some back ups. Have you tried resetting it? I mean factory settings reset? You should try it. Dont install battery savers, task killers and antivirus. It may slow down your phone and eats up your battery. Its better to restart your phone daily to free ram and reset it. If you have done everything but it still becomes slow, contact your phone dealer. You just might have yourself a factory defect phone
like what other said, root your phone or better yet, use custom roms. those bloatware is eating your ram thats why your phone is sluggish. as pandemic said use v6 supercharger to handle the memory.
It is a primitive sort of advice but if u don't want to root your phone...then try auto memory manager and set a parameter to autokill background processes...the processes u don't want to be killed can be whitelisted.
And try some kind of startup manager to prevent unwanted apps from launching by their own...but even then some of them would initialize bcoz of other events...that's where auto memory manager comes to play.
But last advice...its really a very good idea to root your phone to gain full control...service centres really don't care if you are rooted or not unless you unlock the bootloader.
Edit: am not sure if startup managers require root or not...it would have been stated in the app description.

I checked with other person who s using the same mobile. His is comparatively better and games perform better than mine. I'll go for reset but can someone tell me how can I back up all my data. Should I download all the apps again if I reset? I'm really worried since I dont own a broadband but just downloading using mobile internet. Can we back up apps also?

Use MyBackup or ESfile explorer to backup your apps...there is a pile of apps in the play store.
Use Elixir2 or system panel lite for every detail of your phone.

Nothing wrong with your memory, thats how android works: http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
If you are using TouchWiz launcher, you can fix the lag by moving to other launcher (i suggest 'Nova Launcher'), using 'Greenify' to hibernate unused apps , or changing to another rom:
TouchWiz seems to work very smoothly on this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060403

get an app called disable service and another one called greenify..with greenify you can just hibernate a particular app if its running in background[user app in free version and system app in donation version]
with disable service you can stop google framework and services that are always working in background...but be very specific about disabling those processes coz some are important for play store functionality..
Maybe try a factory reset.. If it's so bad

[Q] Galaxy S2 are using 82% of the RAM

My Galaxy S2 are often using more than 80% of the RAM. That makes the phone runs very slow. When I clean it up, it will get back to the high level after a few minutes. Anyone knows why would that happen? What should I do?
Free RAM is wasted RAM. If the total resident size of the apps you have installed is slowing your device, your only option is to uninstall some of those that insist on running all the time.

As long as the phones is running well and no overheating, then should be fine.

This. Any further discussion beyond this is absolutely pointless.
You can to search app ,which take free ram in: settings/apps/runned ,and uninstall it ,if possible.
Does it pose problems on usage of other apps?
If yes, you can try greenifying the culprit apps which are always in cache or are running.

If you have Google+ as a system app, then you need to either remove it and install from the Play Store so Greenify can hibernate it best or get the Greenify Donation package that allows hibernation of /system apps.

I gave a free and a paid solution. Not everyone has the ability or $ to buy apps, but sometimes, depending on your needs, it might be the only option to get everything working how you want / need. Just the way it works.
And no, not almost everyone has their device rooted here. It's pretty common, and probably a much higher % here vs other forums, but definitely not like as high as you are assuming.
Here's an even easier option if you don't use the app at all, aren't rooted. and are on anything that has JellyBean or higher - disable it in Settings / App Manager.

Also try clearing the cache of the app in the Application Manager in Settings. Some users say the cache can get out of hand and mess things up - like 100s of MBs. You can also try uninstalling any updates of the app as most people that report this problem only have it tied to certain updates and rolling back or installing a different version of it helps. Also, make sure the location reporting feature is unchecked if issues persist as that can be another thing.

No longer allows system app hibernation?

I wanna buy this app. But I was reading some reviews that in recent update, it can no longer hibernate system apps?
Here's a direct quote:
"No longer allows system app hibernation This app worked great until they updated it yesterday. I paid 3 bucks to have the ability to greenify Google maps and such because it sucks battery. Worked fine before the update, but now it tells me I can't hibernate system apps!! What did I pay for???"

It still hibernates system apps. You have to enable it in Device Administrator and a couple of other places for it to work as intended.

If you have the donate version, after installing it, go to Xposed/modules and click the checkbox for Greenify and reboot. Once rebooted, go to SETTINGS>SECURITY>Device Administrators and enable Greenify. Then go to SETTINGS>Accessibility and enable Greenify. If any other dialogs pop up asking for allowing Greenify, allow them also.
Then open Greenify, click the menu button and choose Experimental Features and enable greenifying system apps and any other options.
Then on the main screen, choose the apps you want to Greenify.
That is all.

I Don't have paid version. I am inquiring about the apps ability to hibernate system apps before I Buy it.
And I have a Galaxy S5 running lollipop so xposed is out of question since its requires deoxed rom (And I am running Stock ROM)
What I really want is an official explanation or confirmation from the developer himself, if his app is capable of hibernating system apps without Xposed or removing and installing system apps as user apps.
As someone else pointed that xposed is necessary to enable experimental features, i did not want all that stuff so I decided to uninstall system apps and install as user apps.
