i have one ? if task managers not suppose to be use on android then why htc add a task manager?
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Task killers do more bad than good for our phones. Its well documented in XDA and other forums. Your advice will make my smartphone dumb. Change that font please, its annoying as fvck!
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
There is a difference between task killer and task manager. Task manager is by HTC, already built-in. Task killers are 3rd party and shouldn't be used on 2.2+ because when they ''kill'' tasks, they restart and use more battery because of constant restarting/killing.
[HTC Sensation] johnsmith970:
The thing with task killers is that a lot of people just hit kill all. That kills apps and services that the os is set to start automatically, so it then has to restart them which uses MORE CPU and battery.

Your best bet to save battery by killing apps is to simply back out of them. If you really need to pick and choose the apps to kill that are open, the task manager in the quick settings tab is sufficient enough.
[HTC Sensation] joslicx:
heres quite an informative article on task managers/killers, multi-tasking in android etc

[HTC Sensation] predator21:
well bro its basically personal liking...it has done gud so far for me on all htc devices.... so if u dt like cut it out bro....bt so far it has been gud for me...on desire...desire z...last fone of mine dhd...now again stable on sensation.... Which font u recommend bro?
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
i do agree bro but that task manager does help a little but does not show/detect all running apps...so its basically again personal choiche....lve task killer follow other steps....its batt saving we r more concerned....but personally my fone lasts long and gvs gud batt life....

Good read.

Thanks for that.

How does this enabling/disabling option affect the behavior of the phone?
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
well this option simply enables default data connection all the times....disabling this and addind data widget on screen and enabling as per use saves unecessary batt usage via declining data usage when not even needed.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Thanks for the laughs guys.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
regarding disabling "always on mobile data"...

I'm trying a new setup, if I'm getting this right...

I have it disabled, set my mail to sync but only once a day.

so, my phone would know to turn the mobile data back on for that one time it syncs?

or am I sol when it tries to sync and my phone is on idle?
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Bro....use mobile data widget....u have to on the mobile data. Manually ..then only it will sync.
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
oh poop... was hoping. oh well. thanks. :p
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
Wow, it is truly depressing the way people act these days...

If everyone is so pissed off at his font, color choice and guide take the time to make your own or post something in a constructive way instead of flaming. Also keep in mind not everyone is from your country or speaks your language by default. Every language uses different colloquialisms and sentence structure so read between them and get to the point instead of getting so angry if they are trying to help.

We come to these forums to hang out with those people with the same device or similar for information and assistance, stop flaming everyone and actually try to help. Even if that person could have searched or done something to help themselves being rude is pointless and only adds another jaded user to the forums. Not everyone is tech savvy or used to forums. Take the flame to PM and stop cluttering up threads.

-------------------------------

The debate on Task Managers will rage on for a long time.

My understanding is that a cached background up is not using any CPU resources just some memory. Now this could be bad if you run out of memory at which point Android should start killing older unused apps on its own. Otherwise they are just there in the cached state should you wish to recall and resume that app. Active apps always calling out or "thinking" use the CPU regularly and are what cause the drain. Those draining apps are what should be killed. The ones just hanging out in memory are not a "bad" thing necessarily.

The in house HTC Task manager does a decent job of showing what is using the CPU I think (this is my first Android device so I will never claim to be an expert) and not just all programs hanging out in memory period. From that task manager you can go into running processes and see the other apps thinking and using the CPU in the background. Further you can go into cached apps and see what are not using CPU cycles and just waiting to be recalled from the last state they were in.

I am tinkering around with the Watchdog app now to see what is using the most CPU wise if anything, then I can remove bad apps or kill them provided they wont just restart in the background. This phone idles so much better than my HD2 and previous phones ever did, I am quite happy with it.

Thank you OP for the guide. I found a lot of it on my own since I got the phone but I saw a few things in there I had not thought to do. Like calibrate my keyboard. In landscape I do not usually have problems but in portrait I do run into a good number of fat fingered key strokes.

You have a very strange spelling format. Are you English-Second-Language? Did you type this in from your phone? It looks like one long txt message. It is very difficult to read through.

As you are attempting to be helpful to us, I too am attempting to be helpful to you. I've spent about 15 minutes re-writing your original post and attached it. Hopefully you choose to use this in your OP rather than what is currently up there.

I really don't want to receive any credit for what lalitsehgal21 put together. It only took me 15 minutes to run through and correct. Also, I don't agree with several items in his write-up. Some people do agree with them... For those people, I quickly cleaned up his formatting and English to make it readable (standardized English).

In the end, I wouldn't mind receiving a few "thanks" clicks, but I certainly don't want to take any credit for lalitsehgal21's creation. If you believe that his write-up helped you, give him a few "thanks" clicks as well.
[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
Yeah... Disable everything. Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to buy Nokia 3310?
[HTC Sensation] bungfritz:
I've made my phone more responsive by changing the animation and transition effects to fast, rather than having it on normal.

You can do this by downloading a program on the market called spareparts.

Thanks for your hints lalitsehgal21. Get a Sensation tomorrow and will try your steps.

Seldom see a thread that steped out like this.
[HTC Sensation] lazers378:
Well, for me the first charge lasted around 20 hrs before battery went to 5 %. During this time WiFi and GPS was turned on most of the time.

Second charge lasted just 15 hrs and i used much less WiFi and GPS this time.

Now i have recharged a third time and lets see what happens now :(
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Have u rooted ur fone?
[HTC Sensation] lazers378:
Not yet, its just been 3 days since i got the phone. No plans for rooting that soon.
[HTC Sensation] lazers378:
Well, time did get a little better. Now it is giving around 20 to 23 hrs but i do not think it is going to get more better than that. :(

Task Killers are not needed on Android. Do Not use task killers. My Opinion.
[HTC Sensation] Ivanstein:
+1. *nix in general has always been pretty good at managing resources, and any task manager I have used on my android phones has always been detrimental over time.

I will translate for those of you who need the gen z lazy typing to comprehend:

[HTC Sensation] brainybeefcake:
Appreciate the summary and what constructive comments came afterward

Thank you for your summary. I have tolerated the battery life of my phone for a number of months but it only continues to get worse! I appreciated the suggestions and also the constructive dialogue that followed about task killers. I will have to research more on the latter and determine which way I want to proceed with that.

It has been some time since the last time I went on the forums and after this post I question if it will be worth my time to return. Unfortunately, it took a great deal of time to extract the substance in this thread because of the rudeness, no doubt a result of unrestrained and fragile egos that are only sustained by blasting people about font sizes and color on the internet. Wow. While other individuals tried to bring the thread back on track and were helpful in other ways, I remain completely turned off by the juvenile and unnecessary posts that spoiled this thread and wasted my time.

A member attempted to make a point about language by listing an excerpt of the rules but failed to meet many of the other criterion of member conduct. May I suggest that the expectations of member conduct be considered in their entirety rather than selecting one point and using it out of context? I have provided the link for convenience sake...

http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81

Kindly note these in particular:

2. Member conduct.

2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

And yes, Comic Sans was a deliberate choice ;)

[HTC Sensation] broken89:
I have a small part on my back cover that has no paint on it just bare aluminum. When ever I use hedphones or a headset the plug rubs up against it and causes my phone to play music randomly, switch songs, and call the last person on my call log? Has anyone had a similar issue? It only just started happened recently, I got the phone at walmart on the 12th. Who should I contact about the issue? HTC, T-Mobile, WalMart? I really don't want to send my entire phone in just to have the back replaced.

Here's a picture of the area.
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Not on mine but give HTC support a call and tell them and they will send you a new back cover.
[HTC Sensation] bigtimebooch:
Had this on my N1. It's because of the built-in controls on the HTC headphones. My bet is you are not using those and are using headphones that have no controls.

Look up the app called headset blocker and it will disable this function and you should be good to go.
[HTC Sensation] broken89:
I'm using the headset that came with the phone and tried juts normal earbuds and have the same issue. Thanks for the temporary fix ill try it out.
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
I haven't even bothered opening the headphones that come with the Sensation, so I'm going to assume they are the same as in the Nexus One.

The issue comes from the diffference in the plug, the one that comes with the N1 has 3 black rings on it, all "separating" everything. The standard stereo ones have 2 rings.

What I did, to solve my problem since stock headphones were got awful, I bought an adapter that adds play controls and a microphone to any headphones. Never had the issue since.
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
@ OP the same exact thing happens to me all the time i havent found a fix for it at all. it pisses me off because it constantly calls people and skips songs and a bunch of other whacky stuff if you figure it out be sure to post the fix

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tynan:
So basically I've had my Droid 1 since March of 2010, I LOVE my phone. Today I was out in the sun, and it just started freaking out, I put it on a table from my cool pocket for literally 4 minutes. Now two things are happening:

the soft key search button has stopped working(keyboard one still works), and the place where the back button is on my soft keyboard is borked.

Is there anything I can try/do to possibly attempt to fix the problem? I've never run into an issue like this before. :/
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tynan:
okay... so I gave it to my brother to look at and suddenly it's working again...

Is there anything that could cause this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Abazel:
We don't really know what causes the touchscreen issue but we suspect that the moisture is the main problem. Also, a defective or improper charging or a bad flex cable can lead to something like that. I am facing exactly the same problem (paradoxally, after flashing a new ROM - coincidence maybe) but here it didn't dissappear. I will replace the digitizer. I think it's the only way to get rid of it. If it shows up again, I'm sorry! :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tynan:
When do you plan to change out your digitizer? If anything I'd love to see your results before I go for it.

Oh the joys of being a broke college student.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kiwiguy99:
The same problem happened to my D1!! If it re-occurs then it means that your digitizer has broken. The only solution is to replace it or buy a new phone (If you do a search on "Droid" and "digitizer" you will find many people who have had this same problem)

I researched repair stores and finally settled on a place called Mission Repair in KS (missionrepair.com). Sent my precious Droid to them on a Tuesday and got it back as good as new on Friday for a cost (including Fedex) of around $90 - certainly a lot cheaper than a new phone.

Has been working fine again since.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mikeszf:
I heard it is a common issue on the phone, you can use an application like multitouch visualizer (on the market) to check the functional parts of the screen.

The problem I have is with the keyboard, I was using the right key to pass the pages on kindle for android and now I have to press it harder, it also happened with one of the space buttons, thanks god those are 3...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tynan:
Ends up I'm not entirely retarded, and got the extended warranty for 1.99 extra month. I traded it in, but the replacement has same issues. Might be time to upgrade my phone...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Abazel:
Try replacing Flex cable instead of digitizer. ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] britt54:
If it's not damaged.. hold off on the digitalizer and cable replacement.. grab ya some descant packets (do not eat bags that come with new items that can't stand any moisture) ziplock it up with them.. with battery out of it.. leave it over night.. bam..

BRITT#OGDROID
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] britt54:
Oh.. and the OG doesn't like sweaty pockets or extreme humidity.. it's definitely your problem if not damaged.. bet you're in the south..

So last week I was planning on buying an ipod touch 4g or a dell streak 7

But then I tought my mini pro was going to last for maybe another year

So I started to look for android phones with hardware keyboard when the htc desire z cought my eye

I started searching for prices and I found a deal at amazon that comes with a 16 gb sd card

All together for 390 dollars

So I might be ordering it when summer ends

Yo estoy esperando el Xperia Pro aunque todavia le falta varios meses para salir, pero mi plan se me acaba como en medio año mas asi que solo falta esperar que el precio sea bajo. Tiene teclado fisico, buena pantalla y camara.

Ese precio del Desire se ve muy bien ademas HTC tiene records de ventas muy buenos, supongo que los telefonos sirven bien jaja. No se si ya lo hiciste pero checa en la seccion del foro de ese cel a ver si tienen buenos ROMs que valgan la pena porque parece que no hay android 2.3 oficial.

I'd wait for Xperia Pro, Desire sounds good, check if there are good ROMs around.

I replaced my X10 Mini already in April with a HTC Desire HD. Keeping the X10 Mini as secondary phone until the beginning of June. When I put the little wonder back in it's box.

Going from the 2.55" screen X10 Mini to the 4.3" screen of the DHD was quite a something.

Got a little sentimental for few days ago and restarted the X10 Mini which hadn't been recharged since putted back in the box.

Got surprised how slow the phone was thought I ran it without a SIM-card and had installed alot of useless freeware apps from the market, the last week I used the phone
