Galaxy S5 :: Back And Task Manager Touch Buttons Stopped Lighting Up
Apr 19, 2014
Now - I know this isn't a major issue but it bothers me that this does not work. I have set up the settings so they are -supposed- to remain on at all times but alas they are lightless. I've done soft resets, pulled the battery, plugged it into my computer and the wall, BUT the buttons still work.
I have been having a few problems with my phone lately. Sometimes when I start the unit up in the morning no icons appear on my home screen although when I go into my apps they are all there. I would have to restart the phone a couple of times before everything would appear. Now I seem to have a permanent problem the touch sensitive buttons on the bottom of my phone for getting to the settings and the 'back' button do not light any more, but they do function.
For some reason, my capacitive buttons next to the home button aren't lighting up. Did Samsung do away with this? Since I'm used to the way they work, I know where to push the button to go back or to open recently opened apps but I'd like to have them lit if I could.
The soft key buttons at the bottom of my Galaxy S6 no longer light up or work for that matter. So not happy as I have only had this phone since June 2015.
Ok the soft keys down by the home button on the bottom....mine do not light anymore. I have them set to the 1.5 second time out. Even when I put them on "always on"they don't light up.
I recently upgraded from the S4 to the S6 and love it.On the S4, it was very easy to access the task manager and end apps that I didn't want running or end RAM that was making my phone slow down. When I first got my S6, I found where the active apps list was and was able to end apps and RAM. But now I have completely forgot. I know it's in the settings somewhere, but now I can't seem to find it.I know about the recent apps button on the front that allows you to end apps, but I'm talking about also being able to end RAM, as I have noticed my phone is beginning to lag like there is too much of something running, even though there are no apps running.
I noticed the the other day that the left button on my s5 has stopped working and no longer pulls up the open applications. This means I can no longer clear them out or toggle from one app to the other? What is causing this? Im using Next Launcher.
When I use the back button to exit from messaging and check in task manager messaging always shows as still active and I can only exit it from task manager. This also happens if I exit messaging via the home key.Would any one know please if this is usual and if so is there a way of exiting messaging so that it does not remain active in the task manager, or is this a fault?
I usually close all the active apps from the Task manager to save the battery of my s2, after doing that i checked the RAM and clear it but there's a message that says for example 8 application were closed, so where this apps came from???
Today the Home, Back and Search buttons stopped working in my Lumia 900. They don't work at all now. Zune says the software is up to date. I even tried a Hard Reset on it, but it didn't help.I tried once to boot without SIM card, and it seemed to help -- but only for a while after which the issue reappeared. Now I've been rebooting the phone a million times with and without SIM card and not seen the buttons working at all. Is it a HW failure?
My blackberry is like its screen is just off. My buttons work, they're lighting up and i can click everything, lock my phone, and everything. But the screen is always black.
Recently i encountered this problem my torch 9810 front buttons are not lighting up rest every thing is fine,is this a software issue or i need to repair my handset.
where the capacitive button LEDs seem to randomly turn on/off, or don't turn on in the dark, or seem to flicker for no apparent reason? We had the same issue with our 1020. It appears to be directly related to battery saver mode in settings. When we turn battery saver off, the LEDs seem to work perfectly. When battery saver is on, we experience all the above strange issues. We also have a 920, and battery saver mode does not affect the LEDs on the 920 at all, hence why we're hesitant to say with100% authority that this is the issue with the 1020.
I recorded things in my memo pad and task manager I then had a software upgrade done on the phone and when I searched for these folders they are nowhere to b found !!!! I'm very frustrated how do I get these folders to appear again surely they can just disappear ???
I last used WM is there a way to tell if an app is closed how is this managed? I go into a app then I am back at the home screen with the tiles but how do i see if prev apps are still open.
In other words if I put a program/app on this list such as say Google Map and then later need to use that app, will this program shut down in mid use? Or does this list just mean that it makes sure that idle processess are 'ended' when not in use so that it doesn't bog down RAM? Is there a good instruction manual on the features such as these for the X2, or should I look at something like the Bionic's user's manual since it comes with Gingerbread and should have some verbiage in regards to the task manager?
How can I disable the Motorla task manager? I have installed an app that uses alot of battery. Notification keeps popping up from task manager saying app has been running for 45 min.. Have to choose yes or no to close notification. I put app on and want to stop that notification or disable task manager. I have unchecked notifications in settings in task manager. That did not stop pop up notification.
How does one setup the task manager properly? Which tasks and processes can be killed? What can I do to create a better D2G? Is the task manager really a good idea? Why do some applications keep starting when I kill them?
Got my Razr updated to ICS today!! It now runs on android version 4.0.4 The graphics seem to have got an adrenalin boost... :) I wanted to get some more clarity on the following:as the task manager app been done away with? In the earlier version (2.3.6) there used to be an app called task manager. Here you could opt to close applications automatically once you move away from them. I presume it was to ensure optimisation of battery usage. In the new version the only way to accomplish the same seems to bring up the list of running apps - by long pressing the home key - and then swiping off the app - which you dont want running in the background - from the screen. Wouldnt the automatic closure of apps be a better option? Is there any way to get back the automatic closure feature in the current version?
In the previous version one could personalise the notification ring tone for the arrival of mails in the corporate mail inbox. This feature seems absent in the current version. I wanted to know if it still can be done? A distinct ring tone for mail arrivals is a good nice-to-have feature. Thirdly, i observed that the battery consumption seems to have increased post the ICS install. Is it just me or have others also noticed the same?
I have been having a lot of issues with my phone saying it is 98%, 99%, 100% busy with the Task manager alert and it is clearly running slow, but never seem to find the culprit app/program. I have the settings within Task Manager set so I can see the system/core Apps. In generalthe Email Engine (synced with my company outlook web exchange service),Motorola services & Android System tend to be the top 3 apps running. Occasionally, Yahoo mail will be in the mix as well. The highest I've ever seen a single app (email engine) is 25% and the remaining ones are lower. In general, the apps never add up to 100%. I end the things that are using 0% of the CPU, but a few megabytes of RAM thinking that will free up resources and this seems to work, but frequently I find I need to reset the phone.
For context, I am a former BB Bold user who loved how quickly and seamlessly my email and calendar worked w/ the enterprise exchange server at work. Without my calendar synced I won't know how to function and the Droid XPRT has really helped because my work and home (google) calendars now all show up in the same place. When this is happening I find I am on the run, reading/writing email on the email engine via corporate sync.
Just bought a Droid Xyboard 10.1. It's beautiful with a fast processor, but it lacks an application that'll enable you to kill the application or pages that you've recently opened.Is there any other application that'll add an option by the page or application to delete it?http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/12/droid-xyboard-10-1-review/That's what keeps popping up when I search for any other applications. I believe it would be a lot more efficient if the Droid Xyboard had the same layout as the Asus Transformer Prime regarding the "X" on the side of the applications that I've opened/viewed.Does anyone know of any amazing application that describes what I'm talking about
i know the back button and menu buttom supposed to be white and i checked with 2 friends of mine that also got the s6 and its white in their phones. also the home button is kinda moving but not so much... when i checked with my friends phone it wasn't moving. you think i should use my warranty for such a stupid thing? also the device is original and not fake. the screen sometimes (it didn't happen me in 5 days and today it happend again) the touchscreen stop responding to my finger for about a second. lets say i want to click an app so when i first clicked it it didn't work but when i tap again it worked. i think this is normal because sometimes you dont press very well.. any way. orange back and menu buttons and tell me if you got it to(inside a house,outdoor its white because of the sun) and the home key that is kinda moving (not so much but a little bit more than my friends does)
I have a LG G3 and recently my Bluetooth icon has stopped lighting up when I push it in the pull down window, I have to go into my settings to switch the Bluetooth on.
Any way to delete ALL the apps and web pages that show when you click the recent apps button (the little square icon) in one fell swoop? I've got hundreds of pages there when I touch it and trying to X them out one by one is taking a long time. Even if they're not somehow slowing down the system, I'm not particularly thrilled with anyone being able to see the content. It actually shows the body of emails you've read or written, texts, Facebook comments, etc.
In an effort to "squeeze" as much life out of my battery as possible I decided to take a Moto Rep's video/recommendation and use the stock Task Manager to turn off selected apps 2 minutes after screen off. This strategy worked pretty good on my Pro, but it doesn't do so well on the Razr. After monitoring the stock Task Manager now for a week, it appears that it does not turn off selected apps after 2 minutes of screen off. We all realize the battery demand on the Razr and there is a lot of experimentation going on (that is a good thing) to develop settings (Smart Actions etc) that prolong time between charges. It would be nice if we could have an effective Task Manager (stock and Moto approved) that would be another "tool in the tool box".
I know we are at the point that some of us are giving our reviews of ICS while the rest are waiting for their update to happen at all... but here are a few things missing that i have noticed..first, Task Manager. is it not needed at this point or did the assume we would just download one? i used mine instead of using a task killer ( i know i know that debate is an old one) but i miss having it on there.omeone else mentioned the "in pocket detection" was also gone. I used mine with and without it and never really saw it a difference. mine is in the otterbox holder most of the time, and in my pocket only off work. but its still gone.
the other is the3g only, which has already been discussed and told how to change it anyway. I downloaded the app which is an HTC thunderbolt app that was recomended on the droid news n guide app, but i cant tell you if it works lol.. im hardly ever in a 4g area.while there are a lot of good things in ICS and the fact that it looks so different does give you the "new phone feeling" i wonder why these were taken off.
There is an option in the task manager under its settings to show system apps. When you do it will show that the Android system is running at 25% of the CPU. You can refresh this and it will remain the same.
I'm curious, is that because it is taking a snapshot of what the CPU is doing right at that moment (which would be refreshing the Task Manager list) or is Android really constantly gobbling up 25% of the CPU? Seems high if it's the latter...
