Kill running (background) apps

Divi45 — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:33:25 GMT

How do you guys kill your apps that are runnig in the background in spite of the fact that I dont use them at that time.

For example, when I open my book reader app and close it, it still keeps running in the background...so does Facebook, Maps app, some gallery view app etc...

When I close these apps I want them to be CLOSED !

Is there any way to do that on my non-rooted Xperia SP ?

Yes,just go to settings-apps-running and force stop which one you want.Do not use task killers.

That is not the way I want to do that because it is quite annoying... (every time you wanna close some app you have to go there and close is manually)

So I guess there is no better option hm?

You can disable one app,but that means you will not be able to use it unless you enable it again.No,without a task killer,you cannot stop the apps.You can remove them from recent task manager.,also.

You can use Clean Master. But closed apps are starting again by themselves after a while.

go to recent apps list & just swipe it off will do.

Xperia SP - Deep Sleep mode

Does Xperia SP have some sort of Deep Sleep mode? If so, how to enable it?

It should enter deep sleep mode after you press the power button.

Keep in mind that taskillers, task managers, etc will create other issues and the app will be running in the background, thus draining your battery

Does clicking the multi task button and manually removing them from the list not stop them from running?

Recent apps might be removed from task manager,but in the running apps you might still find some of them.

@alexdon: What is "recent task manager"?

Is a list of recently used apps,you can get it by double tapping home button.

You can use an app called "Greenify", although hibernating apps is manual for non-rooted devices or stop worrying about closing them, Android will close them when memory is needed

Stamina mode also helps the device to "deep sleep"

'double tapping home button' doesn't work on SP

Re: Kill running (background) apps

So it is long pressing home?

On Xperia SP it's the icon on the right of the home icon.
