[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDeGruven:
Just let the OS do what it was designed to do, which is manage the apps and memory automatically. Any interference with that setup will only be a detriment to performance and battery life.

These are not full-featured Operating Systems like what is running on your desktop. Android (and iOS, and even Win8 Metro) automatically manages free memory, running processes, and stopping/starting of apps.

If you try to mess with this, it will cost you battery life and performance as the OS will continue to attempt to maintain it's designed status-quo by restarting apps that you've killed, and reassigning memory that you've freed up.

Task killers are only handy if you have an app that runs away and won't allow itself to be shut down (happens less often with every release/update), and even then, just cycling the device is more than enough to clean that up.

tl;dr Task Killers - Don't.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
taskillers worked great in cupcake and donut... Using them In ics is just abusive.

PETA (peeps for ethical treatment of Android)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
This may be a dumb question, but I've read that kind of synopsis several times. With the release of ICS however, we have the option of killing previously running apps via the multitasking bar. What's the difference?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDeGruven:
It's mostly in the way the OS talks to the task at hand. A Task Killer simply yanks the rug out from under the application in question, whether it's in a safe-to-stop state or not, and disregards any background services an app might be using. In many cases, the OS interprets this as a crash and attempts to get the app back into a 'normal' state.

ICS's task management politely asks (for lack of a better term) the app to stop and take any of its background processes with it. Sometimes, only the very foreground part of the app closes, sometimes the entire application and all services stop. But at the very least, you don't have the constant kill-recycle cycle that occurs with task killers.

ICS's method is much preferred, if not necessarily needed in most cases. I use it as a convenience to keep the list of recent apps clear.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
For memory management, yes. For killing wakelock abusers - they still have a reason for existing there.

Mainly Facebook. Facebook STILL holds excessive wakelocks on a regular basis (although it's not as bad as the perma-wakelock it held a year ago), and is the primary reason I keep Advanced Task Killer around.

Never use an autokiller though.

Only use a task killer for managing identified misbehaving apps that you just have to keep around for some reason (like Facebook). Never use a task killer for memory management reasons - only use it on apps that are using excessive background CPU or wakelocks. (usually, apps that are high on the ****list in Settings->Battery.)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
There are programs like 'Gemini Task Manager" that will let you edit/modify the automatic startup settings for any particular app. At the very least it will let you see what apps may be causing problems on your device. As far as I know it only edits the startup to keep them from running in the first place rather than constantly killing them when they do like some task managers.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
Thanks for all the info. It appears that just leaving it the way it is is what I should do... especially since 95% of what I use the Fire for is for reading books. But I am a Windows/Cisco Sys Eng, so I like to tinker with all my tech devices whenever I can. :)

That being said, it seems to me that if these "persistent apps" were on a Windows O/S, they would be running as a Service. And if you know Windows, you would know that Services can be set to restart if they are stopped by any means, except through the Service Manager Console itself (or the command line, if you really know Windows). But I have no clue if Linux/Android has the equivalent of Windows Services. I would have to believe that full-fledged versions of Linux/Unix does, but maybe not Android. Just a thought... and maybe it is something people have overlooked when trying to keep these "persistent apps" from being persistent.

Typically, in Windows, you would never ever think of running Facebook as a Service... but you easily could if you wanted to. And it appears that Amazon really wants Facebook, and several other apps, to be running at all times, for no apparent reason.

Oh well, if I had a 2nd Fire, I would "hack" the hell out of it. But since I don't, and I read a lot, I'll just be happy with what I got. And honestly, even after having the Fire since the first day it came out, I'm still loving it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexDeGruven:
It's still completely different system paradigms. In mobile OSes, background services are typically in a paused state when not actively in use, where in full-featured OSes, they can be in any one of several states.

As to the fb service running, that has nothing to do with Amazon. That's just the fb mobile developers not knowing what they're doing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elyashivlavi:
Hi,

All the guides about compiling Android kernel for Nexus S shows that the desired config is 'herring_defconfig'.

I have found out that there is also s5pv210_defconfig in the arch/arm/configs folder.

(s5pv210 is fits to my device's description).

What is the difference between those configs?

Thanks! :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] tanmayrocks:
Hi guys.

I have been using my Atrix 2 from 4-5 months, and this is really an amazing phone.

But I found a thing really irritating.

The Data Connection on the Atrix 2 is very unstable, and it automatically gets lost if the phone is inactive for some time, say 1-20 minutes.

I have set the phone is performance mode, and have no justifications for this behavior.

I am on BSNL 3G in India, using APN BSNLNET.

Motorola Atrix Version: MB865

System: 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03

Android: 2.3.6

Does anybody else have the same issue, or the solution to this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2 hacker:

I had that problem too I am on at&t 2g edge in the u.s the way I fixed it was I rooted my phone installed clockwork mod n I am now running rebelrom beta 3 with a atrix blaze update on top of that. Ummm if u have no intention of doing any of that then I would say u best bet would be call Motorola or ur service provider n ***** at them
[Motorola Atrix 2] pavantayade:
Data connection stops randomly

I have too observed the same problem guys.Whenever there is low network signal it will switch off the data connection on its own but it will not start the data connection when there is sufficient data network available.

Some time I have to switch on it Airplane mode and after few seconds need to off that mode.If it won't work then the only option to start the data connection is restart your device.

Hi!

I'm using an Atrix 2 (MB865) from AT&T, Unlocked, Rooted, Original Stock ROM and i'm having the same data transfer problem with Movistar Argentina.

I think a good option could be to flash a new ROM, but it's hard to see all option we have.

From my point of view, i need an stable ROM with good battery life.

Any suggestions ? Supercharged could be the one ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
I've certainly had a lot of luck with Supercharged. Everything's faster and more stable...battery life is much improved. I installed AnTuTu's CPU Master and Battery Saver, and that's helped battery life quite a bit too, it seems. (I'm a heavy user, but in spurts, not constantly)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pete02:
My brothers running Sonya v3 on his atrix and loves it. Its much smoother than stock and he seems to get decent battery life out of it. He usually does an 8-10hr day at work and he gets home with still 50% or so battery life.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
Same here, running wifi all day. I do plug in if I'm going to use Bluetooth for anything, though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 41rw4lk:
For what it's worth, I've seen a lot of wifi problems lately. I was wondering if maybe those with issues might be restoring wifi settings with titanium or similar methods. My point is, back when I had a Cliq XT I remember this problem popping up often with various roms (cm7, superOSR, ASOPs) and the common denominator came down to restoring wifi settings often would break wifi. So, for those with issues, make sure you're coming in clean when you flash/restore, don't restore wifi settings.

I had the same issue. My phone would disconnect from the internet after about 20 mins of inactivity. Finally,How I fixed it was I went into the settings of the phone (Email Settings to be exact) ,turned off FETCH email(set to manual). Enabled PUSH DATA and with that in the settings,It does not allow the phone to turn its Data Connection off.

it means whenever you want to download, switch to 3G else for being online Edge is more than sufficient

it irritates but quite helpful

i use the app "network" from market to switch :good:
