I know this is not really answering your question, but you should consider not using an automatic task killer.

Three reasons are:

* A task that does nothing but is only started doesn't suck battery life or processor power, killing it however does.

* A task that is started automatically because it does work in the background should be disabled another way if possible, because killing it will make it restart, again sucking battery life.

* If your concern is free memory you should know that memory that is used doesn't take more power than memory that is free. But again, freeing it uses power.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unrealboot1:
well i tell you why i want to use it. Its only when screen off anyways so minimum killing when necessary. But for example sometimes i start dolphin app and just go back to the main screen but dolphin is still running and using cpu, my phone gets hot, it seems sometimes apps get stuck in cpu. Then when i turn off the phone it will kill it cos of the task killer. If i turn off the phone and i dont kill it, dolphin will continue to use up 40% continuously making the phone hot and use up massive battery. Im sure some of you know this it happens with other apps too maybe its a problem with android gingerbread. Note dolphin doesn't always do this, only sometimes.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
Use provided browser is best.

Also dolphin have big security issuse, try and google it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] carmello1911:
opera mini is also great browser imo..stock one is also ok I guess.. dolphin a bit laggy..at least for me
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mikbe:
I can recommend Boat Browser. Very lightweight and supports tabbed browsing. At least I am very pleasantly surprised of how good it really is.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DarrenCarol:
Have you considered using Watchdog if apps are hanging or freezing? It monitors them better an alerts you if an app is misbehaving. It's just an idea as opposed to using an auto task killer which is, quite bluntly, screwing with your current apps and OS.

Slingplayer works fine for me on CM7 sd.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cubfan80:

I've been using the official SlingPlayer app successfully on both CM7 and CM9 without issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lfeuln:
Also works fine for me on CM7, though the quality seems rather gimped compared to on iOS. I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus this week so will be interesting to see what it's like there.

Hi!

I'm developing for HTC Hero, and until recently we've been having the same trouble as you guys with the Camera on ICS, no preview.

However, I've got it working with preview now, and I'm hoping it might work for you too!

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?d0ccs22yr447fby

To try it out, push that file to /system/lib/hw/ and launch the camera app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Been some views, anyone try this out yet?
[Droid Eris Android Development] stritfajt:
Yeah, it would be nice if someone could try it out. And if it doesn't work you could post some logcats/dmesg and I'll give it another shot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
Tried it out and responded in my ROM thread...

And as for the reasoning behind it slowing down/crashing, the hacked up HAL keeps leaking memory causing OOM events which lead the lowmemorykiller to start killing off everything. This isn't unique to these msm7k phones as it also happens for at least the qsd8k devices like the Dinc and Evo4g which build off the same HAL source. The memory leakage is worse when the barcode scanner and panorama "fixes" are also used.

hey guys like the title says may screen of my brand new xperia s died on me within one week of pursache.

I was connecting the phone to my laptop when it falled out of my hands, just about 20 cm high, it landed flat on his back and the screen just went black

Did anyone else had the same problem ?

phone works but screen just wont turn on anymore.

my phone is on its way to sony at the moment, you think they fix under waranty?

The guy who repairs phones and sent it to sony for me says there is no sign of dropping damage at all.

Update : about an hour ago I finally recieved the phone back, it is repaired under warranty even with already unlocked bootloader.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] depulle87:
Backlight go on, it boots and led is blinking for entering my pin code, when booted up can connect it to my pc with no problems.

When i power on i see the backlight going on but not even the sony logo that should appear before the xperia boot screen,

Re opening this thread since my phone screen blanked out once again, are the more people having this or do I just have a crapy phone?

A phone is not supposed to drop...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] depulle87:
You are absolutly right, however I am very carefull with my phone it is always in a cover and when in a cover a phone should survive a 15-20cm drop without a scratch.

All my other phones ( all SE mostly Xperias ) are ''as new' after one year of use, this phone is not strong enough.

This and all te reports of yellow teint and loose bottoms shows that the XS is not as strong and solid as it feels and has it should
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zorathomas:
feel sorry for ya .. i know how it feels when a brand new phone keep giving problems. i have always used sony products. my 2 televisions (one lcd and one led), 3 laptops, 2 sony mobile phones (neo v and xperia s), 2 camcorders, playstation 3, walkman, are all from sony. in the neo v, phone security is a built in feature. but in the xperia s, its that ****ti mcafee security that handles the security locking in case ur phone is lost or stolen. that mcafee security is a 7 days trial. what nonsense :mad:

sony is getting greedy!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
I dropped mine more than a foot onto thin carpet. My phone survived just fine. I am betting it is a fluke or something. You might just have bad hardware.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] direngrey85:
So far i dropped my phone twice and once from the dining table almost a metre above the wooden floor

Nothing is wrong so far but maybe because my phone has a poly jacket case.

Feel sorry for you. Maybe you need to request a phone change
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] depulle87:
I think bad hardware to, I sent a mail to sony but so far no reply.

When I get an answer I will post it here, I trust sony to fix it and this time for good.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AndyChu:
Hope my phone will be fine... i have no varanty in Russia coz i get Europe phone
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mysteryos:
20 cm drop is nothing.

Mine dropped from like 40 cm height, and landed on its back. No issues at all. That was two weeks ago, and in any case i noticed longer battery life span :silly:

Must be a problem with the headset itself.

Advanced task killer is a very good app but i found that when i put it to kill tasks when screen off, it sometimes doesn't work??? It happened with my galaxy s and now with my xperia s
[General Questions and Answers] damysos:
how you know it doesn't work ?
[General Questions and Answers] unrealboot1:
well when i turn the screen on and then off it would say x apps killed then i check the task list and see most of them are killed, but sometimes it doesn't work. Usually when i go directly into task killer then turn it off and then on it would work. Also i made sure task killer itself is not killed
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
Task killers are terrible. They actually waste battery power and reduce performance. This is well known and has been covered many times.

Uninstall.

[General Questions and Answers] unrealboot1:
it doesn't use battery to me if you know how to use them correctly i only use it when screen off once
[General Questions and Answers] imheroldman:
Android has a native task killer built in. The dalvik virtual machine keeps a certain amount of memory free while allowing apps to run and shuts them down when the limits are reached. If you really want to have a better task killer use a mem free script such as v6 supercharger, and use aggressive settings.
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
No offense, but simply put you are completely wrong and clearly do not understand how Android automatically handles processes and memory very efficiently without need for user intervention.

Again, DO NOT use task killers and your phone will work properly - and better.

what im saying is some apps get cpu locked for some reason, so you have to kill it right?
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
Then Dolphin is your problem. Fixing it or using a different browser is the cure. Using a task killer is just sticking a Band-Aid over a wound that will never heal.

Registered Linux user #266351 Android since v1.0
[General Questions and Answers] unrealboot1:
But its not dolphin its other apps too sometimes they get stuck in cpu. So i want to turn off my screen and it will kill all.

granted it happens rarely but it still happens, i notice sometimes when my phone is off and its hot i check the processes and see a funky app wasting on cpu
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
Same thing still applies. The only real, effective solution is fixing or finding alternatives for the offending apps. Using a task killer is NOT the cure.

If the light in your room will not turn off because the switch is broken, is the right fix replacing the switch or unscrewing the bulb over and over?

Besides, that task killer is causing other problems you're not even aware of.

Registered Linux user #266351 Android since v1.0
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
Absolutely correct CrashDamage. Task killers do no good at all. Do some Googling on android task killers, and you will get an answer to your concern
[General Questions and Answers] unrealboot1:
Ok i wont be using dolphin then or just force close that manually if it locks the cpu or if any other app does it.
[General Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Yep, use another browser.
[General Questions and Answers] aaronisaacm:
you need putting in agressive mode
[General Questions and Answers] Killbynature:
Just because you see it in the advance task manager doesn't mean it's running. Example samsung stock touchwiz shows you what app is using the cpu. App use a certain amount memory when it gets so to the the limit android with get rid of the oldest app that is not being used. To make room for more.
[General Questions and Answers] support@codedb.net:
Thank you for the information. But I do notice a considerable improvement in battery power with Advanced Task Killer.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorsetjon:
Hi,

I am trying to root my SGS2 and I haven't rooted a phone before. I am using CF-Root and have followed the instructions on:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

That all seemed to work and when I boot my phone I get the yellow triangle, etc. But, according to Root Checker my phone isn't rooted and if I try to run an app that requires root then it doesn't work.

Do I need to do anything other than flashing the CF-Root tar in Odin to root the phone?

I used the following kernel (my phone was previously using LPC so I assume this is correct):

CF-Root-SGS2_BU_VOD_LPC-v5.4-CWM5.zip

I have searched and can't find any answers so hopefully someone here can help.

Thanks,

Jon

as rock23 said reflashing should solve that issue. If you are missing the SU specifically. Then you can install it from the market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorsetjon:
Thanks for the quick replies. I flashed again but it's still not working. Just in case it helps, I flashed a third time but still no luck. Odin seems to run properly and reports success. But Root Checker says:

Superuser: Not found

Su location: Not found

And if I ran an app that needs root then I am not prompted to allow it, etc, and the app doesn't work. Any suggestions for what I should try?
