An important app on my phone does not work properly. I was told that I should stop it and open it again. How to do this? I already tried powering off and booting the phone, no avail. Should I still stop the app somehow?

I can not disable my Google Play services because my old Samsung J7 (SM-J700H) phone does not let me disable the administrator privileges of Google Play services. I am trying to do this because my phone has been giving me a repeated error since yesterday that > Unfotunately, Google Play services have stopped working. I thought that if I uninstalled this, it might do the job. But whenever I try to disable/uninstall it, it says it has administrator privileges. The privileges it has is the "Find my Device" option turned on. When I try to turn that off, Settings stop working too, so I am pretty much boxed here. Here are the fixes I have tried. - I deleted the cache of the Google Play Store. - I deleted all the cache partitions of the phone. These fixes did not do the job and I am here for any kind of help.

I am using Moto G72 which comes with Android 12. I was happy with Android 12. I am using the Greenify application to force stop unwanted applications. Whenever we click the icons of the unwanted applications, then only the applications wake up from sleep. Recently I got an Android 13 update. After updating, force stopped applications automatically wake up after a certain amount of time. I changed the battery usage of unwanted applications to Restricted. But no use. I can see the battery drain is more in Android 13 than 12.

I have a Xiaomi Pocophone F1 and I am running MIUI stock 12.0.3 without root but I keep getting Google Play Services keep stopping although I wiped the cache and data of all Google apps and I even did a hard reset. Here is the bug report:

Any help appreciated

I've tried to force stop Whatsapp but after some time it restarted. This is so disgusting and apparently out of control. What can be done to prevent it from restarting.

I have a galaxy 20 ultra and I have repeatedly force-stopped the slack app, but it keep restarting on its own. I believe this is happening to some other apps, but I can't recall the others at the moment. Is there something I'm missing here to keep a force-stopped app stopped??

How to monitor log app wise usage report RAM CPU Battery and stop RAM resident apps from starting at boot Many time my Android 5.0 & 6.0 mobile become slow while working i checked it In process stat in developer mode that there are many of apps running and using RAM even after closing the app it means they are memory resident may be for notification and running in background. We can force stop from app or kill process but it's for time being now my queries 1. Any App to.Record whole day log report for all apps how much total RAM CPU battery it's using while working on app and after closing the app means RAM using statistics app wise for whole day weak or.month 2. How to kill running apps proccess forcefully stop for temp running and freeing the ram urgently. 3. How to permanently stop (not uninstalling app) the apps or background services from.startup or disable from memory resident as and whenever we boot or start those apps run in background. Is there any way in Android to stop from.running in startup or resident memory RAM after closing app.

How can I kill an app by holding the back button in Lineage OS 18? One of the first things I've always done when installing a new Android was to enable developer options, then scroll down to the very bottom and enable the toggle for `Kill app back button" > Kill the foreground app by long-pressing the back button I just upgraded to LineageOS 18, and I was very sad to discover that this option is missing! How can I replace this functionality on LineageOS 18 so that I can force-close misbehaving apps by holding down the back button?

One of my phones is a Samsung Galaxy Edge S7. One of the apps, Samsung Pay, is uninstallable bloatware. The problem is that when Samsung Pay is running it takes up the bottom edge of the home screen such that it interferes with the upward swipe operation when opening the home screen after the screen is locked. I discovered that I can get rid of that problem temporarily by force stopping Samsung Pay. However, at some point in time either via a reboot or a system update or something else, the Samsung Pay app gets restarted. Then, I have to hunt through the menus every time and force stop Samsung Pay again, manually, which is a hassle. So, how do I arrange it so that Samsung Pay is forced stopped at some point after each reboot, or better yet, every time that Samsung Pay is running? I searched the Google Play Store for app killers, and none of the ones I examined explicitly state that they provide a way to kill a user-specified application after each reboot. Or, if there is such an app, it would force me to try hundreds of ad-infested apps before I found the right one, which is also a even more annoying hassle. I would be happy if I could install an app on the home screen that, when clicked upon, would force-stop only the Samsung Pay app. That would not be fully automatic, but it would suffice. Buying a new phone is not an option. Rooting the phone is not an option. Any method that requires signing into Samsung Pay which requires creating an account which is tied to the phone is not an option. For example: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-disable-samsung-pay probably would disable it, but my experimentation shows that it is requiring an account just to get to the screen that allows you to disable it: thus is a email harvesting scam.

My HTC One X+ with Android 4.2.2 suffers a lag pretty often and I don't like that. Sometimes I cannot even unlock the phone because screen doesn't come up. I noticed that when I force stops all other apps (besides the one I am using) when phone lags, it runs smooth. I have lot of apps installed so going to Apps then selecting the app and then force closing it takes a lot of time. I am looking for a way where I can force stop multiple apps at once.

Does it only trigger some kind of "shutdown -h now"? Or are there any hardware mechanisms involved? I want to know, what happens, if I shutdown the smartphone such as you can do with holding the "start" button for 10 to 20 seconds in most cases. More concrete: What happens, if I press the power button on my Huawei P20 for 10 seconds? What steps are taken exactly?

Some apps are crashing endlessly, and I can't do anything because they just keep giving me the same errors. I've even done a wipe-out/factory reset, but the problem still persists. This problem was first started long time ago when my battery had problem and my phone just shut down in the middle of work. When I replaced my battery and reset my phone all of my problems were solved. But recently, I mean 5-6 months after replacement, my contact and dialer app started to give me that error. I installed another dialer and contact app and I thought that if I do a reset it will fix it, and when finally I did a factory reset my setup wizard and social plugin and contact and some other apps just have this error. My Android version is 6.0 and is stock official.

I don't use Facebook and don't intend to. Can I force stop on android phone (LG Stylo 4) without destabilizing anything else? I have installed WhatsApp which I know is owned by Facebook but which I think (hope) functions independently and hopefully would not be impacted by stopping Facebook.

I've removed an app long ago, but when I unlock the phone a message appears which says: "the app" has stopped I had changed its location from internal to external before I remove it. Also I have another app which keep stopping, I changed it to external too. I cannot rechange the apps which I changed their location after I've updated android system These two apps are not English J7 prime 2017 Android 8.1.0

Each time an application halts, a pop-up appears, whose OK button is grayed out for one second. It blocks the screen. **This can be really annoying.** If there is no possibility to get rid of that popup, and instead simply have a standard notification appear in the notification bar? I see no need to confirm that some app has crashed.

I found that first of all System>Apps>Running is not helpful always and secondly I we stop the services, it may star again if corresponding application is running. The correct way to stop application is **force stop**. (that's why ram booster may not helpful sufficiently). I've made an simple script that get the list of all user applications and then force-stop all one by one: pm list packages -3 -f | sed /jackpal.androidterm/d > /sdcard/tbs/app2fs while read -r line; do APK=$(echo $line | cut -d ':' -f2 | cut -d '=' -f1); PKG=$(echo $line | cut -d '=' -f2); echo "Forcing to Stop: $(aapt d badging $APK | grep "application: label" | cut -d "'" -f2)"; am force-stop $PKG; done < /sdcard/tbs/app2fs The draw back of above command is it tries to force-stops all (doesn't matter running or not) third-party applications. But I want to do am force-stop only for the running user apps. So, **How do I get the list of all running user apps (not services)?** You may have better way to do this than my script/command, hence broadly: **How can I force-stop all user applications that are running?** Note: I recommend the command-line solution. Because this type application (that can force-stop all running user apps) mostly runs constantly for monitoring which I don't like. If you've a suggestion for an app that can do such job and also favourable (should not run constantly for monitory) , then you can suggest it.

I am unable to use any Famous Apps like - Gmail, Whatsapp, PayTM, Calendar, Antivirus apps, ram cleaner and many more apps Except few apps such as android chrome. As soon as I am opening these apps then I am getting error "Unfortunately Whatsapp has stopped" OR "Unfortunately Gmail has stopped". I am getting this problem from yesterday. What I have tried:- 1) Factory reset 2) clear cache of gmail/play store/Google services. 3) Using updated version of play store/Google service/gmail/whatsapp/PayTM etc apps. But unable to get solution till now. Anyone help me in this serious matter ? Device details:- Micromax canvas nitro a311, Kitkat

In settings, if you go to an app and click "clear data" does that also cause the "force stop" function to be activated? I'm thinking that when you clear the data of an app, the app is basically returned to the state it was in when you just installed it, so it necessitates a "force stop". Is this correct?

how do I undo a forced stop for google play services. I tried rebooting but it did not clear the forced stop.

Suppose I force stop an app and it stays that way for long. Will this boost the performance of my phone in the same way as uninstalling the app would?
