My thoughts exactly! Although "some" apps to "sleep" most relaunch, take angry birds for an example. Having angry birds in the "recent apps list" is just another shortcut for launching the app from a closed state.

The ebay app actually sleeps, as does whatsapp.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Yes, I have tried this myself and like it. I was wondering if I should ask him may I recommend it here. What really matters is getting the best experience on our ICS I guess. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
Is there a way to get these adoptions loaded on each reboot? Eg via init.d script?

Thx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sumulikovski:
NEUROM

The best thing is rooting and installing a ROM.

It's still not perfect, but I can say AOKP Milestone is the best.

MIUI v.two is also a nice one.

You can find these two in the Development section

(XPERIA U)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
OK I have contacted a number of devs and I have a positive reply. There is a way!

If anyone knows much about scripts, could you PM me please? I don't want to say much, or mention the dev until it's ready. :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Thanks man! I like mods to help our ICS, but if it's really that bad I'd like to test custom ROMS. I used them on previous phones and know they can be great. I'll check out your recommendation! :victory:

Enable gpu rendering in developer options.. U will cross 3000
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sumulikovski:
Also note that this setting is *reset* after you restart your phone, so you will need to press this after a restart. If there's a way of overcoming this I'll post it.[/B]

IF you find your Sony device on ICS is running slowly, this may run well for you.[/QUOTE]

This is the problem. I see that even if I have 50 mb. free my phone works properly. Because ROMs aren't enough stable (at least for XU), you have to reboot your phone from time to time, so every time limiting isn't a convenient option.

If you ask me, you should just change to another ROM.

Thankfully the Sola at least doesn't need frequent restarting, so I get to keep this setting. I agree 100% if your stock Sony ROM isn't great on your phone, consider switching. The Gingerbread version of their ROMS I think were brilliant, I hate what Sony is doing on ICS. I'll just use any tweaks like this along the way to make it bearable. You might have noticed more updates to ICS are due from Sony any day now, I'd like to see how they perform.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
thats why i shifted to aosp rom...:p:D

best rom for xu .. free ram always above 150mb
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] icedef:
This is one good tweak. Thanks for this one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
I even tried 'no background processes' which I fully expected to cause trouble. It didn't (though might) and the phone runs even faster :victory: Just to be sure I'd stick with 2 background maybe lol. :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Me‎:
I wonder do you think this line is the line to change?

(build.prop)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
----I think this works. Can others test this? I changed the value, saved, restarted and it seems to have used this new value.----

Cheers man! Can others test this asap?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
Not Working
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Me‎:
how do you check what standard limit is?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thebrainkafka:
Use a task manager and you'll see the difference
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Really? I swear my phone has maintained speed. So in the settings it says 'standard limit' but in the build prop that is now specified to 2 processes. It's speedy!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
This wont show effect on devices wid 1gb ram... For devices wid 512mb ram... Its a boon :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shreyasdilip:
Great work! The build.prop tweak has increased speed :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Me‎:
glad we found the source :)

So I was looking around in settings.apk (don't ask why XD)

and I found in \res\xml\development_prefs.xml an interesting line

<ListPreference android:persistent="false" android:entries="@array/app_process_limit_entries" android:title="@string/app_process_limit_title" android:key="app_process_limit" android:entryValues="@array/app_process_limit_values" />

if I change it to true like this:

<ListPreference android:persistent="true" android:entries="@array/app_process_limit_entries" android:title="@string/app_process_limit_title" android:key="app_process_limit" android:entryValues="@array/app_process_limit_values" />

and compile will anyone be willing to test it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Hi! :o I have just tried this and there is no change on my phone. Good idea though! :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Me‎:
hmm how about in arrays.xml maybe

<string-array name="app_process_limit_values">
<item>-1</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>1</item>

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Hey guys, just to say that after a few days testing the latest update, the one after this, I have not been using this tweak - the latest firmware fixes the speed lag for me on my Sola. If you haven't updated yet, check to see if it's available!

By the way, on the newest update, you cannot root the firmware with usual methods. You need to flash the kernel belonging to this firmware again, root, then flash *only* the kernel of the latest update again.

So:

1. using this firmware

2. update to newest firmware

3. flash kernel in flashtool *kernel only* of .10

4. root using usual method

5. upgrade to kernel of latest update again

6. You now have the latest firmware with root! :fingers-crossed:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giwrgos:
Hello everyone i have question regarding the price of the nexus 4. On the website of play.google they have the 16GB for £279.00 (British pounds) and the same phone the O2 has the sim free for £399.00. Why? I know there is a cost of shipping but i cannot see it because the product is out of stock. does anyone know how much is it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paprkut:
Googles out of stock so they can charge what they want which is interesting because they must if knew Google was going to run out
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GR36:
Anywhere other than play store you are looking at around 400. This is because these come from lg not from Google. Crap I know but this is the price
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed10000:
It's the same in the US - unlocked N4 16GB costs $499 with T-Mobile. Google cannot/does not control third party pricing. :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giwrgos:
so the actual price is the google price but any third company can sell this phone in any price it wants right? if i order the nexus 4 from uk store. how much it will cost me if the price of the phone is £279.00?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0ph0id:
£279 + £9.99 delivery if bought from UK Play store, which is currently out of stock.

£399 from O2 on the high street.

OP, why not just use flightmode. That will certainly disable radio connectivity and ifs still running, im sure that its significantly lower than u leave it on.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florian3000:
I know that's really un-educated but I'm not sure about those things as well ... is it good to drain it first and then recharge it, or recharge it at the beginning .. and is it bad when you take it off the charger in the middle of the process?

I know it depends on battery type. And actually what would make sense is just following the manual. Why shouldn't the manufacturer know?

Anyway, anyone with some knowledge on that, please help!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Nearly all cell phones use Lithium-based batteries, which should not be drained before charging. The "drain before charge" thing only applies to nickel cadmium batteries.

You should charge your phone battery as often as possible. It's better for the battery to go from 100% to 80% five times than to go from 100% to 0% once.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:

I too, am looking for a way to get the stock video player (and the music player) for the Galaxy Tab 2 (for my P5113). I like the feature that lets me stream files from my PC over WiFi and I can make those files play on my Google TV or Xbox 360 from the tablet.

I've not been able to find a similar music/video app that can do that. (Though if someone could recommend an app or apps that does the above, I'd appreciate that).

I know this post is regarding CM10, but I'm actually using CM9 (9-20120916-NIGHTLY-p5113) with CWM Recovery 6. I've tried pulling the files from the stock ROM, with no success. I've even un-rooted, reset to stock, re-rooted, used titanium backup to save the apps and then flashed CM9 again and then tried to restore the apps via titanium backup to no avail. (When I pull up TiBu, the apps that I want to restore have a line through them. I can still select them and choose the "restore" function, but I get a never-ending "Restoring App" indicator no matter if I choose to restore just the app or app + data).

I'm fairly new to rooting and I've tried to figure this out on my own, but I'm a bit stuck and any pointers/advice would be super appreciated.

Thanks,

[Q] Google "Voice Search" 3.0.1 -- Does Not Recognize CALL Command; Does Websearch

My Droid Razr Maxx is running stock (but rooted) ICS 4.0.4. The version of Google Voice Search installed is 3.0.1. Google Voice Saearch is a successor to Google Voice Actions. It's supposed to be able to call a contact by giving the command:

Example: "Call Joe Blow Mobile" (mobile tells it to use the "mobile" number listed instead of asking me which of Joe Blow's various numbers to dial) is supposed to call Joe Blow's mobile number.

When I give this command, it just does a web search instead. In the Settings of Google Voice, you can tell it which things/services are "searchable." I have mine set to search contacts only, but it still interprets everything as a request for a websearch. I've tried force-stopping the app. I've tried clearing it's data and cache. Nothing changes.

BTW... the version of Voice Search on Play.Google.Com is 2.1.4. The Play Store says that this is what is installed on my phone, but my version is actually 3.0.1. I can neither uninstall what I have nor update it.

Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

Can anyone recommend a fix for my Razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
This is not going to be helpful to fix google voice... but here's an alternative: I quite like Motorola's voice commands which you can activate by double tapping home button. Go to its settings and you can even make it adapt to your voice.

It's reliable and recognise names better than google voice or any other voice apps like vlingo. I've been using it with my car bluetooth speaker which automatically turns on voice commands when I press the call button on the bt device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
I can't find anything called Motorola Voice Commands on my Droid Razr Maxx. Do you find it under "M" or "V" or something else?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
V, Voice Commands. My mistake. It's not made by Motorola, but made by Nuance. However it's in my stock asia RAZR.

Here's an apk of the app, and titanium backup (in case the apk doesn't work). Hope this solves your problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
Thanks for this and I probably will install it eventually, but I need to investigate further beforehand. I looked on my system, but found no app called "V" or "Voice Commands." I started to install the APK, but it warned me that this would replace a system app, although it didn't say what that system app is. I live in the USA. Apparently, I have something equivalent that is not called Voice Commands, but which is the same as Voice Commands.

I will investigate and report back...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
It's not called V. I was replying to your question to whether it's under V or M. Lol.

Perhaps the app will only appear if you have a bluetooth audio device?

You can also try under settings->accessibility-> Double tap home launch and see if Voice commands is on the list.

Btw I'm using Nova launcher, maybe that "unhides" the app? >_>
