So I go into Settings/Applications/Running Services. I click on the (example) WeatherService to stop the Applications. It stops the Application at the time, however, it comes right back on in a few minutes.
Why? I went into all the WeatherServices types of widgets and turned them all off.
As I said above they come right back on as if the program has the control over me the owner and user of my phone!
I have even gone into the TaskManager and tried to turn them off from there. The pre-loaded apps like Skype, etc. cannot be turned off at all.
Thank you to anyone that can help.
There are apps/services on Android that respawn, that's one of the reasons why task killers aren't recommended.
If you look at your battery stats those apps usually aren't using any CPU. Android does a fairly decent job at managing running tasks to prevent reduced performance.
That doesn't answer my question.....
Why do they get to just turn on without my permissions...........
Because that's the way either the manufacturer, the carrier, or both wanted it. There are certain processes that start automatically and if you force close them they respawn (restart).
On this board there is nothing anyone can tell you to prevent it.
Things like:
amazon mp3
media share
cityID
google search
music
I know, I looked through every question and nothing about it....
just make sure the weather widgets or whatever are set to not refresh. You'll just end up killing the battery trying to keep stopping everything. Generally, the impact of those services are a moot point.
I did that and it still does it....
It'll still probably show there but it shouldn't be doing anything. The best thing is just to ignore what is listed under running services.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
