I have some apps that I don't want to remove from my Streak but I don't want them to start up on their own. Examples are Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail. There are others, too. I keep them on the Streak as backups (since I sometimes have problems connecting via IM+ or the regular e-mail app). Therefore I only want them to start up when I open them and stay closed after I have killed them. Is that possible?
I currently use Droid Wall to deny them data access when I don't want to use them but they still run in the background eating up memory and sucking the life out of my battery.
Dont know of anything other than a task killer. Can set the security to your desired level, and also to kill everything when the screen turns off, and also generate an ignore list which is essential for some apps like alarm clock....if you want to get up for work on time. They're a little controversial but I find a notable difference in battery life without it.

I have a task killer which I use manually. However, when I kill those apps they come right back up only seconds after that. Can't keep those buggers down. And with Auto Kill they are just constantly being killed again and again.
i used to use an app called "autostart(s)" which did the job really well plus it offers loads of options for apps starting at boot and permissions. titanium lets you freeze apps but you need to defrost them before using again.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I am currently trying out Autostart Kill which seems to work reasonably well, except that some apps are not found by the program (an example is Amazon MP3) and Dell Sync comes up after connecting via USB even though I set it to disabled.
By Titanium I suppose you mean Titanium Backup, but I cannot find a "freeze" (or similar) option, at least not in the free version I am using
Click the app in the list - you will have there freeze option.
It is available in the paid version only
Thanks for all the help, guys.
Finally located that Autostarts app in the market --- had to set market enabler to Verizon to find it. Trying it right now, and it seems to work pretty well.
I hope they're working for you?

Yes, but yesterday I had 3 mysterious auto reboots. Since I had just installed several apps I am not sure which one is the culprit. I have removed some of the others. Now I will have to see what happens today.
i tried autostarts but when the streak goes standby (black screen) it wont come alive anymore and i have to pull the battery out to reboot.... uninstalled

Thank you! Autostarts is what I want~
Try system tuner
System tuner has free version in market. Will perform many functions including "freeze" and then you can "boil" app when it is needed. Also can set which apps run (or don't) at startup.
hey bro, u can use any autostart killer like autostarts (red car), or u can use autostart disabler inside romtoolbox
it work 100%
There are many processes running in settings>applications>running services.
Which of the following can be stopped and what are their functions-
Setup Guide> sim service
CrashMonitor
deviceMonitor
usbux
mtp
Call Log Extension
ProtectedMediaScanner
Secureclockservice
Google services>Cloud-to-device messaging service,google messaging service
I am using .62 stock ROM,locked bootloader,unrooted and I don't use data.Only Wi-fi.Background Data turned off( turned on occasionally),Auto-sync off.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
No point of stopping, they will start themselves again. And that, my friend, uses more battery than letting it run.
Better root and remove those apps yourself.
You can remove all of them but not usbux. That is needed for USB connection.

whats dat for brov....?
from what i understand
if you stop a service it will not start itself until you reboot your phone.
if you stop a process, thats if you kill an app, it's service will restart the process in some time.(this will take up battery, cpu usage)

CrashMonitor (will run again if you restart your phone)
usbux (will run again if you restart your phone or plugged your phone to the computer or charger)
mtp (will run again if you restart your phone or plugged your phone to the computer)
Call Log Extension (will run again if you restart your phone and open the voicecall app)

Google services (will run again and again if your using it blah3x)
if you stop them, they will not open again except you run a particular app
you can also stop the "devicemonitor" but the "battery use" app will also be stopped
Thanks guys, after a day of testing, they don't start at all. I have go more free ram and my phone got faster.
What I do is to freeze those running services using TB when I dont use them, for example Google Maps. It runs even if you do not use it but it's handy to freeze them then unfreeze them whenever you use it again.

1st of all, did you backup those application before deleting it? if yes then good,
go back to the TB and restore back the apps which may be the cause of it.
Hello!
Screenshot attached. I was downloading a document from Gmail and the process seemed to be "stuck." Since then I've downloaded other docs, SMS, phone calls, MMS all works properly, but this notification is always there and will not go away
I have restarted the phone. Left the battery out for longer than 15 seconds. Stopped all processes in Settings>Apps>Running. Ended the Gmail app. Even bought a new SD card (which I had already planned to do) and transferred everything from the old one over to the new. Started up the phone and that process was still running. I don't know what is making this process still survive. Thanks!

try ''disable service'' from market may it helps
Force stop gmail.. It is bound to work!
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
Hmmm...disconnect/disable any internet connection first...then remove gmail account from gmail app....reboot then re-add the gmail account...if problem still persist then just uninstall and re-install gmail app....
Process stopped. Yay!
Alright... here's what happened... oh my gosh, lol, as I'm *typing* this it popped back up. mihahn mentioned the Download Manager, so shat I did was freeze the Download Manager in Titanum Backup. The notification disappeared right away, and it's the only time its been gone in the past month. Then, unfroze Download Manager and started typing this post... and looked over at the phone and it popped up again. Yikes. Let's try some other things...
Settings>Apps>All> Download Manager>Force stop... removed the notification. Ok, it popped up again after 15 seconds.
Settings>Apps>All> Download Manager>Clear data... removed the notification. Waited.... 5 min and a reboot later the notification hasn't come back!
The answer... Settings>Apps>All> Download Manager>Clear data. Thanks everyone!
I have had an issue with Chrome since I bought the phone. Chrome randomly froze for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes or more. Another phone purchased at the same time does not do it. I tried clearing Chromes data and uninstalling and reinstalling all Chrome updates but it did not help. I finally have it fixed now so I thought I would share what worked. Go into settings, then apps. Find Android System Web view. Disable it. That will clear all data and uninstall updates. Then reinstall it. That cured my problems.

You can uninstall via adb or disable it via the lg package disabler in the market. If you don't use adb there's a tutorial on XDA.

Yeah I need to find time to do this. I am so sick of it, several times a day it re-enabling itself, I have to go uninstall from play store, go to apps, wipe cache, wipe data, then location gets enabled, I have to deny that and then force stop and disable. It is so irritating.
Thanks, I'm giving this a try. When it freezes for me, I can get it unstuck by tapping the recent apps button, then going directly back to Chrome, so has only been a minor annoyance. Pretty sure it happened on my Razer Phone 2 as well.
After re-enabling ASW, did you update it again on the Play store? I did, but too soon to see if this works for me.
Chrome has been working like absolute trash for months on a lot of android phones. I don't know the exact reason. It's happened on almost all recent OnePlus phones as well and is well documented. I have the issue on this v60, on my OnePlus 7t and on my note 10+. However, chrome beta works much better than standard chrome in my experience.
Well this trick didn't work for me. Still freezing multiple times a day.

That's a really weird error message, did you installed something on your smartphone lately ?
When an app request a permission, it asks for it right away, it has been like that since Android 6 (the creation of the feature). So I think it might be a malware. When you click on restore, what does it do ?

You need to grant Instagram the permissions it requires or Instagram won't work. You can't deny its permissions and then expect the app to still work without those permissions being granted.

Ok that's definitely a trap, don't ever allow anything, review your app list very carefully and come back here with screenshots of apps that seems suspicious. Sometimes viruses have a transparent app icon, if you see a blank space in your app list (usually it's at the end of the list but check the whole thing) click on it and uninstall the app right away.
The malware can also come from an apk you installed (from a normal app like a WhatsApp mod or just a normal apk), so check the battery consumption of every app you installed through an APK file, and if there is a heavy usage one, it might be the one. Come back here with the screenshots of the app list and the suspected apps before disabling/uninstalling anything (to avoid erasing something important to you)

You can't install an app - here IG - two times or even more often on an Android device. You always have to completely uninstall ( means including its data ) it first and foremost and then to re-install the app in question.
