If you have ADB set up, "adb logcat" will show you the log and "adb dmesg" will give you kernel log at the moment.

I have seen it posted by many users that swiping away apps in the mutitasking list does not kill the app. This is untrue according to Romain Guy. He states that it does indeed kill the app.

https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/GfwRYCC42uX

Neal Sanche - On Ice Cream Sandwich does the swipe gesture in the recent tasks list do anything to the tasks? Does it kill them or just simply remove them from the list?

Jan 5, 2012

Romain Guy - +Neal Sanche It kills them

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bisazz:
Simple way to test this:

Reboot your phone, check your battery %, open Facebook and close it. Check your battery % after around an hour.

Now do the same, but this time swipe Facebook out of the task list, the drain will be much less.

Any time I get abnormally high battery drain, every single time i've forgotten to swipe away facebook.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
I had always had my suspicions that people were wrong about it not kill apps because in the browser if you swipe it away then the browser starts over fresh when you open it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reppu:
My experience with the phone says otherwise. For example, do this:

- create a play/pause control widget with widgetsoid (free on the market)

- open Google Listen and start listening any podcast

- pause it, and then swipe Listen away from recent apps

- now go to your homescreen and push play on the widget......magic!

I think something still runs at the backstage even if you swipe away the app. Of course that might depend on the app, and who know if also on the Kerne/ROMl you are running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:
I've noticed the GPS icon appearing for no reason after running Facebook.

Then when swiping away Facebook the GPS icon stops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
the swipe only kills tasks in the foreground, to test, run a music app like Google music, then remove it from the list, it'll continue to play. it's not really a good feature, useful for some apps but if Google wanted the ux to be more consistent and intuitive then this is a prime example of one they failed at

the right way to do this would be to treat it like a force kill, but with a confirmation for ones running a background process
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
It kills them... Swipe away the XDA app.. Swipe away the browser... It starts fresh..

as for the person that suggested the music not starting over.. You can pause a song, restart your phone and it will be paused at the same spot.. So that's why that doesn't restart when swiped away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
If you read in the link I posted, they go on to explain why things like music can continue to play. Honestly I don't really feel like pulling that information out for you, but the link is there so the information is there for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
you don't seem to get my point, it's not about what Google wants, it's about user expectation. it's clearly a task killer and it doesn't behave the way you expect a task killer yo behave. this is why people love apples crap - it works the way you expect it to. obviously Google wants the function to work differently, so they need to presnt it differently so people aren't confused

that was a big point from duartes, that people don't love android, and yet they still don't really get

it fully. hopefully jelly bean picks up where ics has failed so aaple can go back to the little **** hole it belong in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
So basically you still have not read anything on that link.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demon2112:
I see a debate team in the making whahahaaha

But seriousley.... the artical is inspired on appel ios..... i think its a little different

Then ics...

But i see the general meaning about it,ics recent app key doesnt kil procceses of the android system thus doesnt show it,right? And not important for the user

But in all fairness.... my ics recent app key doesnt kill annything though

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
lol nah there can't be a debate if a person chooses to ignore the facts. BTW, I didn't mean the article, I meant read the comments on that particular post. They break down how the app killing works from the recent apps list. It doesn't work exactly like killing a task would in the "manage apps" area. It depends on the app that you are killing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demon2112:
i stand corrected.... download the app......active app... its widget looks like a chip

instal it.... pop the widget on home and open browser,clise it with home key and open market and close it aswell with home key....the widget will show that there are 2 active apps....open recent app key and swype away....when widget refreshes it says 0 apps........voila..it truly is a killer that key.......

oke im confinsed....its realy a killer...now evereyone can check for them selves

Verstuurd van mijn Galaxy Nexus met Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
difference is i understand the facts, you don't seem to understand at all my point. you talk just like a developer who doesn't understand why the user can't see your way to do something when the reality is, its the end user that's the most important. you even agree that it's not a real task killer but you can't see why that's a bad thing b because you think everyone who uses android really gives a ****. the only thing the end user will see is that it's "broken" for some apps. im fully aware of how the task killer works in android yet you keep thinking that's the topic. feel like im talking to a brick

im not sure why this concept of meeting expectation is so hard to grasp

as i said before, if Google wants it to work a certain way they need to present the function differently so the user doesn't expect differently, such as not showing apps that it won't close anyway, or allowing force close through a confirmation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shane_huskey:
It actually does kill the apps... sometimes. If anyone would have bothered to search around, this has already been discussed in detail. If an application is dormant, swiping it away from the recent apps screen will kill it. If an application is not dormant and actively using system resources, it will not kill the application.

Swiping away Google Talk doesn't kill it.

Swiping away Pandora doesn't kill it.

Swiping away Google Talk doesn't kill it.

Swiping away Groupme doesn't kill it.

Swiping away Terminal Emulator doesn't kill it.

Swiping away Maps doesn't kill it.

Yeah...I think I have convinced myself that its not a task killer. The same tasks killed by swiping away are the same ones that hitting the back button kills in any other Android OS. Business as usual, and depends on how the app is coded. I didn't use a third party anything to check. I looked under running in Manage Apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demon2112:
pks check with that app and report back plz

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I am not gonna use a third party app for what I can see in Running. For all I know (and its likely) the third party app is incorrect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb02:
+1. All of you are talking about using crappy third party apps to check if swiping away an app kills it and preaching the results as gospel, none of you even knew how to check if an app is legitimately terminated. Smh. Swiping away apps in recent doesn't terminate it. All apps are coded differently. Learn about the OS before making claims of how a part of it operates in opossition to what its creators have stated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Yeah, I'm actually going to side with you on this one. From a development point of view, it's fairly easy to understand what's going on. It's not going to kill running services; it more or less just terminates the background activities of the apps. While I think that's a good way to do it, personally, wonshikee's point is that the typical Android user (if you're on XDA, you're NOT the typical Android user) would expect a consistency that, if swiping away kills, say, the Email app, then swiping away the Music app should have the same effect. Which it doesn't.

User expectations and what techies consider "common sense" are rarely the same thing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaponeG803:
Is it just me or does every so often when I hit the multitasking button Google Maps is up, even though I haven't actually opened it? I believe thru restarting the boot loader I fixed it, even just temporarily, but I wanted to know if it is just my phone or is this an issue affecting others too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its a bug. The latest Maps starts up, at least partially, with Google Talk. Weird, I know but if you remove the latest Maps the issue disappears.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaponeG803:
Ok thanks that's good to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yeah just found out about it myself this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I get that with google music, sometimes it bug out and will open a different app when I try to open music. Only fix I found was to force stop - which seems to reset whatever internal pointer is pointed wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
A typical android user wouldn't know if something is closed or not. All a typical android user would know is that they swiped it away, so it would make no difference to them what is going on in the background anyway. The result as far as the end user experience is the same either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
EXACTLY!! You sir, get it. This is what many people don't seem to understand and what I wanted those other two guys to read and understand. It is exactly as you stated, the "manage apps" section shows running SERVICES and is not related to apps that you started up and swiped away. For example, if you have Pandora installed, then if you reboot your phone and look in the "manage apps" you will see the pandora service running even though you did not open app. Even if you open Pandora and then exit out of it, that service will remain. The same is true if you have exchange set up in your email app. If you have the email app open and switch away from it then swipe away the email app it will close it (when you return to the email app it will start from the first screen instead of where you were), but the service itself will remain running in the "manage apps" section. Great post, it was definitely a breath of fresh air. Discussions work much better when a person is informed.

Also, I agree with you in that this is the way that it should function. If it did not function that way, then you would have to be cognizant of making sure you leave apps open that you want to do things when you're away from it. For example, if it didn't function that way, in order to continue receiving your email you would have to make sure you opened your email app and make sure it never got closed. The recent apps list shouldn't stop services. It works great the way it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
How come terminal emulator shows up? You really think its a background service? Don't reply if you can't answer

I tired of the "you didn't read"whine as an answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Discussions are much better when argued with evidence versus opinion:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
The *much* simpler way to test this is just to open a Task Manager, see what's running. Swipe the apps from the list, then open task manager again (or do it while the app is open). It shows them disappearing from the list as you swipe them away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Now swype it away. The app is still running as evidenced by statusbar.

To me a killed app with a running background process doesn't leave that behind.

No? Please correct me if I am wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
For shiggles:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Dude get a clue. I didn't say it didn't have services. I said it isn't being killed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
You asked. I answered.

The swipe-away destroys activities. It does not kill services.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thracks:
Applications that run as a service will not be closed by swiping. Regular applications, when swiped, are suspended: they stop consuming system resources until reactivated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Ok, now that I am at a computer, I will leave this thread with these comments:

Pandora is a single app. So is Terminal Emulator and the rest. If swiping stops the main application but does not kill the background process...it is not killing the app. There is no arguing this. There is no debating this. I don't care if it has background processes, it is still part of the app. Hence if its running, the app was not killed.

I will now take my leave of this thread because all I have heard all night is "If you had read"...and its annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thank you. That is much better than saying swiping away kills apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Your concept of "killing an app" is misconstrued. The "Recent Apps" list is a list of tasks, or Activities, which an app has displayed. If you swipe it away, then the running (or suspended) Activity for that app is destroyed (not exactly the same as calling finish() on the Activity, as there is now another event called onTaskRemoved() in the API, which can handle things differently for this event). If the application starts a service (which is not subject to the same Lifecycle restrictions as an Activity) this is NOT killed by swiping on the "Recent Apps". This only kills ACTIVITIES. Services will remain active.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
The APP itself is closed! If it has a background service, the service remains. Which is why apps like Pandora and Music continue to play. But if you open the APP again, they take longer to open.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
It's also inaccurate. They are not simply suspended; they are killed. The data in those Activities might be maintained by the application, and handled in the onTaskRemoved() event handler, then restored in onResume(), but after swiping, those Activities ARE KILLED.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
Swiping away an app is essentially the same as hitting the back button at the main screen of the app. Not every app closes when you do so.

There. Simple, easy to understand english for everyone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
Try ATK? That will show you if its still running, you can also set it to auto kill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
OS monitor is also a great app if you are just wanting to see what's going on and kill stuff at that moment, only problem is apps that are registered as services will usually restart right back up. There are a few apps out there that can stop them from auto-starting but I can't think of their names atm.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
You could use a lesson in tact. Actually, to be more specific it seems that if you have only visited the browser once, then when you swipe it away in the multitasking menu is leaves everything as it was. However after you've been in the browser for a second time then when you swipe it away in the recent apps list it will restart everything fresh. I shot a quick video demonstrating this so you can get an idea of what I mean.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mysterioustko:
You are absolutely correct lol.

Well for anyone else who may be interested: What happens is when you're in the browser and you switch apps away from the browser, the browser is stored as a cached process. However is you swipe it away in the recent apps list, it removes it from the cached processes list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
brilliant explanation. in a way android activities and services are like mini web-page apps in their own strange way. each single apk can have 1 or 20 independent activities or services, all up to how the dev needed/wanted to code. and each of those independent activites controls its own onPause, onResume, etc. at first this might be strange to people used to the "old" way of single binary apps. but it truly is brilliant once you think about how android is setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turntable:
man, cbarrick dropped some real knowledge in this thread about how the OS actually manages apps. glad i stumbled upon this for a clearer understanding of how android manages applications.

hence, the 3 month old bump. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kensim781:
What 'cbarrick' says is 100% correct.

Go download 'Watchdog' and you will see why... Everytime you swipe away an application, you are just bring it into background 'standby mode'. Why so? Because to re-enable that applications to start or 'resume' from standby mode more effeciently and quickly. This is actually good because it reduces the loads on your CPU as compare to 'recycling' through the whole process of restarting the application and it's whole bunch of services which is needed for that application.

Try this, using Watchdog and manual task kill Google maps with all it's associate services and start up google map again, you find that you take ages to get a proper GPS lock.
