How to REALLY close apps

view story

http://androidforums.com – Some apps continue to drain the battery even after it is closed. For example, I have the app Wikitude showing up as sucking up 12% under Settings -> Battery. I did the hold home button 2 seconds and swipe app to right side to close. I also tried closing the app with the task killer app Advanced Task Manager. I even went to Settings -> Application Manager to click "Force stop" on the app. I restart the phone and still the app continues to suck on the battery. This is also the case for many of the apps I downloaded. Is there a way to really close apps? (General)

I think I have nailed it. I can now get my phone to do 27 hours of standby time at will. That's after having light battery drain, followed by a huge one, back to light and so on... So I've been where you are.

And here is the thing... Task manager and application manager are trash. They will not show you all running apps which in my opinion is highly misleading.

Hello all, I need some help please !

I recently rotted my galaxy S2 and applied jelly bean ROM to it (X-Treme CM10) All is working good till now.

But, when I long press the center button, I can only see recent apps.

In a previous post I wrote about an issue I was having with battery drain, that I was somewhat able to fix. After switching over to FI03 I noticed the drain wasn't so bad but obvious. The only way I can get a full days charge on my phone is to go into task manager and close every application before I put my phone in stand by and set it down.

Hi all,

New Android user here, came from the dark side.. how do you go about closing apps down? I've looked in both the settings > running apps and via a 3rd party app called 'Advanced Task Manager Pro' and I'm unable to close down GTA III on my Nexus 7.

How do I close out apps that I stopped using completely? I normally go on the bottom right, press the button and close them out. Do I have to go under settings, apps and stop the apps as well?

I was wondering if you have to manually close apps? I had to on my samsung charge or they would drain my battery in no time. And if you can or have to how do you do it? Also closing internet windows when I exit them there is always one left you cant close whats up with that?

Hi all, I have a X-Treme Tablet 7" Android ICS, when I run app or a game then I close it, why it is still running in the background, that makes a battery drains faster, how can I stop the apps or games from running in the background, also the word "force stop", what does that mean, please explain all details to me, thank you all.

Happy Holiday

Help saving Battery Power 12 weeks 3 days ago

My phone lasts for a good amount of time, but I checked today and one of the apps that's using around 34% of battery is Facebook. Even though I use a task killer to stop it it re-opens in the background using up battery power (even when I'm signed out). Is there anyway to prevent apps from doing this w/o being rooted? If there are apps that can help feel free to let me know please.
