How do I permanently kill all these auto restart programs?

[turf]

EX: Skype, voice dial, Pandora... my app killer use to kill these stupid apps before froyo but now they've been turned into those annoying candles that keep coming back seconds later.

Seriously... how badly do these apps need to track everything about me that you can no longer get rid of them?

Maybe the better question is how do I delete the forced apps all together instead of waiting for some law to demand it?

first off stop using a task killer, uninstall it and let android handle the program management itself as it is made to do.

and to get rid of those apps you need to root the phone and easiest then would be to install a vanilla rom without all the bloatware or you can use root explorer to rename the apk's of the programs so they dont launch

If you can, uninstall the apps you don't use. And don't worry about the rest. The only time you need a task-killer is to kill a rogue app. Otherwise android OS runs just fine with apps in memory as they're not actually using resources.

There are several threads in this forum explaining why task-killers are, for the most part, unnecessary. Just search around you'll see what I mean.

Remember Android runs completely different then your old WinMo or BB.

Crs... you can't remove the apps Verizon forced on to the phone... at least not the normal way you remove one that's been downloaded. Any suggestions?

1st I'm not loosening the app killer unless in my reading I find out that killing an app doesn't prevent it from continually sending out details about me or slow down my phone

2nd I appreciate the advice but your spell check changed too many of the words and I can't be sure of what you suggested.

Oh, you're one of those people.

and his "spell check" changed nothing. His suggestion was perfectly comprehensible.

And to answer your original question: you can't.

If Google installed the apps themselves, I'm pretty sure nothing malicious is being done with the info. Tomorrow morning, your bank account won't be negative and there won't be a guy sitting in a parked car outside your house waiting for you to leave.

If you want those apps gone, you need to root the phone and then delete them. Once rooted, this can be done in many different ways

) ya ya ya smarty pants. I just don't believe in blindly letting companies hack my info... you only have to work anywhere for so long to know that crooks have day jobs too (even at the elustrious Google). If I was paranoid it wouldn't have made much sense getting a smart phone let alone be on the net and at the same time! omg omg

Thank you for a clearer answer... I guess I just didn't understand the language being spoke (I'm starting on page 6 of 400). Hence my inability to find anything usable on other posts in my search.

That's because he was nice enough to go back and correct it before you read it. Also, he explained how you can.

I realize you can't uninstall some apps, that's why I said remove the ones you can. Like I said before, just because an app is in memory doesn't necessarily mean its "running".

Think of the memory as a bank of CD players and apps as the CDs. When you back out of an app it is akin to hitting the pause button. When you start another app the previous app will still be paused, hence not doing anything.

For the most part, apps in memory cause your phone to run faster, not slower. Now I will admit that sometimes an app will get hung up and start acting up and need to be killed, but that is not that often.
