Yes - is its normal?
Or Yes - i can be tracked by someone?
If you're worried, use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall it......
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
Yes it's normal & yes you're being paranoid (and yes you're going on ignore for being a flog)

First of all, I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BILLIONS OF TIMES, SO BEFORE YOU REPLY WITH "Search the forums" READ THIS.
I have been looking for WEEKS trying to find an answer to this,and no answer given on any forums are what I am looking for.
I have an android phone (sidekick 4g) and there are apps that run in the background when not necessary. Now I know some stuff need to be aways running for the phone to function. But I also know that apps like Facebook, Market, Gmail, T-mobile's Media Store, MyYearBook, Maps, Aptoide, etc don't. When I force close them, they just start up a few seconds later. I've tried task killers and got the same result. I've read the "Why you shouldn't use a task killer" articles but everyone keeps saying different things about it so I'm confused.
Like many others, I want my battery to last at least half way through the day. The above mentioned apps (and some others) DRAIN THE BATTERY WHEN RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO.
Please does anyone know of a way to fix this?
My phone is rooted, if that matters.
Also, "freezing" the apps don't help cause then I can't use them when I actually want to.
Thank you very much in advance anyone who can help me out!

Applications running, doesn't mean cpu cycles are being used. Sitting in memory is no different then a song sitting on your sdcard. Your issue with the battery has to do with processes using cpu cycles. If you have applications that update, force updates manually.
Just having apps in memory isn't your issue.
Use the features built into the os, find out what apps are causing the problem. Look at the settings. If you have looked at your settings, then you have one of three choices. Open bugreports with the application developers, don't install the apps causing problems, or upgrade your phone.

Thank you that makes sense.
I would think those apps would use battery because it pushes notifications for the app (like new messages and stuff). Does that not use battery?

It does use battery because to process the notification it needs to use the cpu. If you force applications to update manually. Your batter would be better. Check into battery saving tuts. All that information has already been discussed plenty. Won't change in this scenario either.
The more apps you have updating information the more data and notifications are being processed.

Also, I have another problem, if you know anything about this kinda stuff. The Facebook app icon just (like 10 minutes ago) disappeared from my home screen, and it's not in the app drawer either. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still having the problem. I can only open it by manually searching "facebook" in the google search widget and that's when it gives me the option to open the app. It's really bizzare and I have no idea what's going on.

Sounds like a issue with the rom or launcher. Try installing another launcher from the market and see if the application is installed. If its there with another launcher then its your stock launcher, if its not then its the rom.

As a general rule, the apps which you use most are not to be greenified. System apps can also be greenified if you have the donate version of Greenify. BUT it is dangerous and can brick your phone. So go through the main thread to know which apps can be greenified safely. Memory, network location etc are not apps. They are part of the system, so be careful.

Okay thank you so much ....for the information.
I have a problem using my apps because of the ads,they appear fullscreen on every 3 seconds,so its imposible to use my apps.i have tried a lot of apps that block advertisments, but they were useless.all of the apps are downloaded from google playstore.solution?
check your apps, fake ones act like this
There are some apps which produce ads on our mobile for that they earn money for displaying it and earn more when clicking it.
Try adblock plus which is totally free and it's not available in Playstore so you need to download it directly from your browser.
It might work :good:

How can i know which apps are fake?
Are you rooted? How do you block ads?
Is this happen on every app on your smartphone, even the native ones? This sounds like a virus/exploit.... if your smartphone is rooted you should try to get an antivirus-app and try to use it.. or if nothing works you have to reinstall your OS

This is abnormal (not related to a website for instance). Wipe the user data and start from scratch to identify the faulty app. Did you install apks outside the Play Store?

Well that's part of your problem right there. That developer is known if being terrible with putting ads everywhere. No one that knows will touch their apps.

That won't matter as long as you have apps from Cheeta apps. They are one of the most hated app developers around do to the ads. Also most of their apps really don't do anything other then placebo

Honestly that depends on the device. Most Chinese devices come with adware like this built into the OS. What device do you have?
Samsung galaxy a7

You have obviously installed crappy apps that use ads from adbuddiz, admob... We can find a lot of them on Google Play (one of the reason why F-Droid is a good alternative).
Either uninstall everything but trusted apps (then reboot) or root your device and update your hosts file with good sources (AdAway's ones for instance). If it doesn't work, you will probaly have to start from scratch.
Hi there,
Does anybody know which app makes a pop-up with the legend "Available 76% 436M Released 116 RAM" and a broom icon" (i couldn't post image).
I used CleanMaster some time and uninstalled it, but seems to be it has something to do with bad or incomplete uninstallation of this app. It makes it lag so much and i think its causing malfunction of others apps. I wish i could disable or completely uninstall it. Any ideas?
My smartphone is Samsung S5 SM-G900-T (android 4.4.2)
Thanks in advance.
Maximiliano.
Flash original ROM with kies. Probably it will also be deleted.

First try searching for clean master(com.cleanmaster.mguard) residual files under-
1./sdcard
2./sdcard/android/obb
3./sdcard/android/data
If you find any,then deleted them
Then goto settings>storage and clear cache
Hope this solves your problem,
If not then you can go for factory reset

it seems that CM app is allowed for admin rights ...
try untick cm on device administrators section ( u cannot uninstall if its admin app )
please verify it once
cm also installs other 3rd party apps
try to identify them
hope it helps
Hey everybody! Hope you are having a great week so far. I have been having a problem with Samsung Health. I am having this problem on an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8. Whenever I launch the app, I am getting this warning message:
"All applications associated with this action have been turned off or blocked, or are not installed. To turn on the disabled applications, go to Settings > Application manager, then tap the disabled applications tab. Select an application from the list, the tap Turn on."
I have Samsung installed and enabled and I am wondering what other apps could possibly be causing this to happen. The only applications that I have disabled are YouTube and Hancom Office Editor. I have disabled and uninstalled other apps in the past so maybe one of those uninstalled apps is causing this problem. Does anyone know what apps/system processes are needed to launch Samsung Health? If not, does anyone know how to debug the app startup process and figure out what is going on? Thanks in advance.
Hi , try to do factory reset but before that back up your data and remove all your accounts from your device and try .

Re-Enable the apps you've disabled, it might then work again.

This did not work. As I suspected, YouTube and Hancom Office did not have anything to do with S. Health.
I ended up factory resetting the phone and then restoring all of my data from backups. This did the trick. Not a true solution to the problem but everything works now. I guess we will never know what was actually causing this issue.
