[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Hi Robert. If you interesting about it, I recommending to you read this one of the many threads

Proponents of task killers notice that Android is using a lot of RAM – in fact, Android stores a lot of apps in its memory, filling up the RAM! However, that isn’t a bad thing. Apps stored in your RAM can be quickly switched to without Android having to load them from its slower storage.

In summary, you shouldn’t use a task killer – if you have a misbehaving app wasting resources in the background, you should identify it and uninstall it. But don’t just remove apps from your phone or tablet’s RAM – that doesn’t help speed anything up.

Empty RAM is useless. Full RAM is RAM that is being put to good use for caching apps. If Android needs more memory, it will force-quit an app that you haven’t used in a while – this all happens automatically, without installing any task killers.

Task killers think they know better than Android. They run in the background, automatically quitting apps and removing them from Android’s memory. They may also allow you to force-quit apps on your own, but you shouldn’t have to do this.

Task killers aren’t just useless – they can reduce performance. If a task killer removes an app from your RAM and you open that app again, the app will be slower to load as Android is forced to load it from your device’s storage. This will also use more battery power than if you just left the app in your RAM in the first place. Some apps will automatically restart after the task killer quits them, using more CPU and battery resources.

Whether RAM is empty or full, it takes the same amount of battery power – decreasing the amount of apps stored in RAM won’t improve your battery power or offer more CPU cycles.

hope u understood.

Also samsung included a stock task manager.

Press and hold home button.

Then check my attached picture ;)

Thanks Avetny, there's alot of great information there.

Both your comments and the link make complete sense. I actually never realised that Android doesn't perform in the same manner that windows does.

I've deleted the task manager after your first comment. My device is actually running faster and the battery is more efficient too.:good:

I really appreciate you going to the effort of sending the links/information/photo.

I'll report back if this has fixed my freezing problem.

Thanks again :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] imposterfro:
Hello, I'm a noob.

I have the Blaze 4g for T mobile. I bought it used off craigslist (was working when I bought it).

So I have been rooting and installing roms for some while so I'm not all that bad. However this new phone I got (the blaze) had terrible signal reception. I have no bars(just the do not enter sign) at home or outside of my home. Funny thing is that my other phone has perfect reception. I used the same sim card on both phones. So anyways I looked around to see if this reception issue could be solved. I tried many different "solutions" and then later discovered that my MIEI is now "0/01" (I had checked before and it used to show the real MIEI). I just don't remember exactly what I did. Now I looked around to see if I could fix this new problem. All the solutions involved an EFS folder with some files BUT mine didn't have those files at all. So then after looking some more I managed to find several solutions where the correct MIEI is manually written using QPST and some software (CDMA). But it never takes. I pull the QCN file from the phone and it lists the MIEI minus the last 2 numbers. So I don't know what to do.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamshxr:
Hey guys, I currently am running Slim bean 4.2.2 build 4 on my NS4g. Sadly, I'm thinking Jelly Bean has to go... I love Jelly Bean and all the features, but since I updated to Jelly Bean, my phone has been running so friggin slow. To the point where it hangs doing simple things. I can't stand it anymore and I just need this thing to last til Sept at least. I've also tried other Jelly Bean based ROMs with similar problems. AOKP was less slow, but it had some weird annoying bugs that bothered me. CM10 was even less slow but I got raped on battery life.

So, sadly, I'm thinking I need to go back to Ice Cream Sandwhich. My phone ran it great back when I had it, but I'm gonna miss JB... Unless anyone has any other ideas? Maybe completely wipe and reformat my SD card? That's the only thing I really thought of. Thought it might clean things up a bit. But my other question was which ICS ROM should I switch to? I was thinking AOKP Milestone 6, CM 9.1, SlimICS, or...?

Thanks in advance.

I recently got my gf a nexus s but hated all the slowdowns and reboots on all jb roms I tried, until I tried jellyshot with marmite 8.5 bigmem kernel. She loves her phone now, hope tbis helps
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2d551:
Try rasbeanjelly also.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killswitch70:
Use greenify app from play store. It might help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamshxr:
How does rasbeanjelly compare to the other JB ROMs? And I just read somewhere else about greenify. Ill look into that as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueldbr:
latest hellybean rom with devil kernel(it comes with the rom) is really fast and stable. never had a random reboot with it. try it;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ottoemezzo:
I had terrible lag in all the JB roms too. What I did was searching for an efficient kernel. I found marmite, which is fast and stable. I am using the bigmem version with its stock settings, you don't need to OC at all.

As for ICS, I thought it was smoother too, t I found out, it was only because it had less resource-heavy animations. There is a solution for this. Nova launcher has the option to overwrite the default JB animations and change it to ICS ones. In my case it really made a huge difference. If you want to try this, you only have to upgrade your rom to build 5, since Nova is the new default launcher in Slim.

Hope this helps,

Cheers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamshxr:
As of right now, I am now rocking Rasbean with Matr1x Kernal and I must say, WOW, what a difference. So far the lag has become a minimum problem, depending on what I am doing. Also, the battery life is much better now too. I never OC or anything like that. I had greenify installed but found that most the apps I use cant go into hibernation except the ones I do want updating in the background. As far as animations, I disable those anyways. They are enabled on my Nexus 7, but that can handle it much better than my phone lol. So now I am generally satisfied until I can get the Galaxy S 4. Or if something else happens to come out that is better by the end of the year, but I highly doubt it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enrygie:
Hi fellow XDA members, I've not been out of the scene for a while and am looking to buy a GN2 from rogers. My intention is to use it on Wind as the quality has improved signficantly. My question is if I unlock a GN2 from Rogers, will it work on the wind network. If so does the unlocking process also allow for AWS bands to be used, or will I have to change them, and how would I go about doing this. Also, are the data speeds comparable to a locked phone?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
I think that Robers' rules are the same as an european carrier so unlocking means unlocking. You won't be limited to a specific carrier thus you will be able to connect your phone to any carrier.

But unlocking a phone doesn't increase the data speed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greiss122:
Hey guys,

Does anybody know why the notification light flashes when I get a new email, even though I unchecked emails in the settings?

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Which setting? If you're talking about the notifications settings under the e-mail app, that only affects the notifications within the phone itself(i.e. a sound, and the notification center). I'm not familiar with a way of telling the notification light what programs to blink at and what not to.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verboten:
I have found a way to disable gmail notification light, unfortunately, it disables all other gmail notifications so it's pretty much useless. If you don't care then do the following.

1) Open gmail app

2) Select 3 dot menu button

3) Select Label settings

4) Uncheck Label notifications
[EVO 4G General] Lamski:
I have an old OG EVO 4G and now that my daughter is old enough she keeps wanting to watch videos and play games on my new phone so I thought I could bust out my old EVO 4G and turn it into a mini wifi tablet for her to watch youtube, play kids games, and I could also use it as a wifi remote for my HTPC.

Is there a rom out that will disable all phone, voicemail, and 3G/4G radio access.

Is the EVO hardware capable of the newer Android OS's like ICS and JB if the 3G, 4G, and cell radios are disabled?

The cleaner the build the better and battery life is also a plus.

The device is rooted, I used the old school Unrevoked way back in the day. I haven't used this phone in over a year so I haven't kept up with any of the new offerings for it.

What do you guys recommend?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrmnj:
I have my kindle rooted but I don't know if I should try a custom Rom. If I do flash one then it would be cynagenmod 10.1. I also have titanium backup to transfer my apps.

My main questions are:

Will the Rom work with the amazon app store and will I have to sign in again?

Will apps I got from the app store be compatible with the new Rom?

What exactly will titanium backup backup?

will cynagen mod 10.1 make my device compatible with jellybean apps from google play?

if I choose to go back will I have to re log in to Amazon?

Is there anything else I should know?

Thanks to anyone who can help me with these questions.

When I installed CM I found that apps I downloaded from the Amazon Market place prior to flashing (one's designated as KF edition) would not show up in Amazon after flashing. The other apps from Amazon will be OK. Maybe if you back up the apks before flashing (if you have any KF apps from Amazon) you could install them after flashing.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabiddoughnuts:
I apologize if I am asking a previously asked question, but i have searched for a solid answer for way too long, but I have a multipart question so here I go. I am looking for a rom that is compatible with the RAZR Maxx HD but all the roms only say RAZR HD, RAZR or RAZR M, I know there are literally like 20 variations of the Razr, but I still figured an attempt to list all known models that said rom is compatible for would be listed, or is it general knowledge that if its compatible for, say the RAZR HD it will be compatible with all RAZR phones, but the RAZR rom might not be compatible with HD, etc. I am really just curious as I would prefer to not trial and error right now, as a bricked phone would not be fun. But any knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciated, as I genuinely love to learn this kind of stuff. I used GooManager to search for roms but it only pulled up RAGEHD.zip RAGEHD2.zip and Paragon Maxximus, which as confusing as this is, on the Goo site, RAGEHD.zip was updated after RAGEHD2, so I am not sure which rage is the newer version, but on the developers forum, it says he is up to V3.2 which is only under RAZR on the Goo website, and then from what I have seen on these forums, I have seen tons of other ROMS listed but I almost never see them specifically listed for the RAZR maxx HD which worries me a little, so the more I have tried to research the more confused I am getting. Anyways, I am looking for a mostly preformance increase, though anything extra and in depth would be cool too, thanks in advance for any help.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killrhythm09:
Don't worry about it. The Maxx HD is the same as the RAZR HD aside from being slightly thicker to accommodate the bigger battery. Any ROM that's marked as compatible with the RAZR HD will work with the Maxx. The main thing to pay attention to is that they have the same model number (xt926 for the Verizon one).

As for ROMs, GooManager will only pull up a few if you have it just browse for compatible ones. Not sure if this is something devs need to set on their side, but there's quite a few others in the repository if you browse all devs and manually find ones who have been working on the RAZR HD. mikeyinid has an AOKP port, for example. Just look around the forums here or on droidrzr.com and you'll find lots of options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Does rooting with heimdall as shown in this post, Install CM for quincyatt on the Cyanogenmod Wiki increase the flash counter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The flash counter is only raised when you put the phone in download mode and use Odin software to flash a rom, modem, or kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
heimdall = odin for linux :P

so yes your flash counter will go up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Well, that settles that. Thank you for your answers. I guess ADB is the only way to root without flash counter increases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
why are you worried about increasing your flash counter? there are methods to roll your phone back to stock and back to a flash counter of 0. Trust me I've done it. Not to mention if you're worried about your warranty, I talked to a couple reps at the AT&T stores, they're more concerned with physical damage and don't bother to check the counter (their words, not mine).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
I guess I shouldn't worry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Plus with adb root method, if you write to the wrong block/address you brick your phone. Then you get to enjiy the JTAG service.

Just curious, and I apologize if there is another thread for this topic in the S4 forums (I searched), but does anyone know if it's possible to brick your nfc chip from a factory reset or ROM change (after setting up wallet) like it would with the EVO 4G LTE? Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] naterz:
So in your case, nfc is working fine itself just not gWallet, and that is because of root you think? Have you disabled SEAndroid in TiBu?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarqAnshin:
I did disable SEAndroid with TI (freeze) but I found what I had to do was with the actual Wallet app. I still get the unsupported device on the app. I've been reading around XDA and it appears that I may need to download GWallet from here where some of the people have fixed the unsupported device thing because of root. I've been trying to figure out how they fixed it (without asking too many questions) before I download it just so I hopefully can start contributing instead of leeching.

-If I reboot the phone I get "Optimizing app 1 of 1" message and again never ends.
