when i doublepress the home button and the multitasking drawer opens up, it appears to be empty. i can tell this is a problem because when i use sbsettings and check the running processes, i see many apps are still running. at the very least i should see ipod controls in the drawer.this wasnt always the case, i know that right when i finished jailbreaking (before i synced all my apps over itunes) i did see ipod controls and sms in the drawer (those were the only 2 apps i tried before doing that initial sync). i then synced over any apps i had but failed to install anything that was from installous (depending on appsync). that was expected. i think (not sure really) that when the official apps loaded i was still able to have apps appear in the multitasking drawer. i think installed aptbackup from cydia and tried to restore all. i manually chose installous and appsync 4.0 from cydia because i noticed that they didnt install after the restore all. i then synced again with itunes. now i got all my installous apps back on the phone. this is when i checked the multitasking drawer again and i didnt have any icons! so i am going to assume its one of the cydia packages thats giving me this issue. i was hoping someone here might have a clue as to which package might cause this. i got a list of all my packages i am sharing below:

edit: i just noticed that the package for appsync31 looks like its still installed which is probably a bad thing. when i go through cydia it is not installed, this is the output of dpkg so i trust that this is accurate. any idea of how to remove that package without cydia?
edit 2: now i'm not really sure what is going on with that package, i am trying to use dpkg to remove it but this is what i get when i try to find out the status of that package
i had multitasking before ios4, i used backgrounder.when ios4 came out i unjailbroke because steve told us all how much more efficient his multitasking was. my main problem is that now when i close an app, it doesn't actually close. yes i know this is so i can multitask, but why do i want to multitask every single app i open! i end up with loads of apps "open" and my phone runs slow, every few days i notice the slow, either when an app tells me i am running out of memory, or when i unlock my phone it takes a bit longer to load the unlock screen.i then have to close all my apps which usually freezes for a few seconds while closing them all.now i can just about manage this, but my mum and dad (both owners of iphones) and happy with apples usual simple approach find it a little complicated when and how to close the apps that they have opened (i just tell them when it gets slow, restart it).
solution?:
backgrounder i have to say, worked better.when i clicked home, my app closed (gone! no memory), and lets say i was in trails and wanted to switch to my music, i just held the home button and that's it, backgrounding was activated, and only trails was taking up my memory, not some game from 2 days ago, or Internet, or the odd utility app, etc. anyone else either have this problem, or think that apple should update their multitasking feature.
Can anyone provide me with some guidance on how to update to the iOS4 plateform and keep my jailbreak? I am using an iPhone 3GS on 3.1.2 JB with old bootrom
so here's the situation, i upgraded to ios4, which worked great. but then i switched providers and the new provider needs a jailbroken phone (telus) so i tried to do that. i hit one step in one of the jailbreaking apps that said to restore, so i tried. then i got the 1015 error, and now iphone just says "itunes" with the USB cable, and when i try and restore, i get the 1015 error.
I am not sure this is the right place to ask on GM iOS4, I would like to upgrade Gold Master iOS4 to mine 3GS right now and when it released the official firmware for public on 21st June, would I have any problem to upgrade from GM version?
Was just wondering what the best way to upgrade from the iOS4 GM to the official iOS4 release. Would I be better off doing a backup of my iOS4, restoring my iPhone to iPhone OS 3 and then going back to the official iOS4 or do you think we will be able to straight from the GM to the official version of iOS 4. Or is the iOS4 GM identical to the official iOS 4 release?
Will iTunes know that the official release is newer than the gold master release? I assume its not out yet as iTunes keeps saying "4.0 is the latest release" So what will happen when its out?
So I just bought that Eliminate:Gun Range app that I thought was supposed to be made for iOS4 so I tested it and hit the home button in mid game and then when i double click the home button and go back to the game, it starts it from the beginning menu again. I thought the games were just supposed to pause and we can go back to where we left off.
I wish i could disable multitasking, I really do not care for it placeholding where i was in an app. In several apps it is more annoying than it is helpful in others. Is there anyway to disable? Will this be a "mod" that jailbreaking could disable?
I am updated to OS 4.0, Which I LOVE, but the apps like pandora and last fm that I really want multitasking for do not work? Anyone else ran into this? Is there a fix for this yet?
after upgrading to ios4 on my iphone then JB & unlock...my multitasking stopped working. Everything was working great. I was able to listen to music and use safari or send sms at the same time. But now when i listen to music and try something else it quits the music before opening something else.
is it necessary to remove apps from the multitasking dock? that docks seems to contain every app i open.. im wondering if anyone knows if it has an impact on battery life
I was lead to believe, from scouring these forums, that double tapping the home button will give a list of recent apps.if I open a multitasking app like the new eBay app (updated today) then close it using the home key and then reopen it it's righ where it left off as it should be.Now if I double tap hold down eBay and delete it from the list the next time I open eBay it opens from scratch.
So the list in the double tap screen is not a list of recent apps but a task manager to what is currently multitasking. For those apps that start from scratch just don't have the multitasking programmer into them.
One of the many things I like about my iPhone compared to my Motorola Q is that fact that when I close an app it really closes. Now with multitasking, all apps stay open even when I hit the Home button to close them. Now I have to double click the Home button and hold down an app for the wiggle sensation and individually close all the apps that should closed automatically.
There needs to be a feature that allows Close All or double clicking the Home button from within the app hard closes the app.I know it is just a couple extra steps but it feel counter intuitive.
So I feel like when I have a lot of open Apps, I'm unnecessarily using battery life. I then have to close all open Apps individually. Is there any way to kill all open Apps with one punch? Also, are open Apps draining battery life in the background?
Almost every important utility app has been upgraded for multitasking, but only 2 games (Peggle and Defender Chronicles)This is surprising, as I have a lot of EA and Gameloft games, and you think they would be on top of this, especially as people spend more time per period in a game than they are in a utility app.Then again, a lot of game developers have moved on to bigger and better things.
Are there any reliable apps for allowing background running of apps on a 3gs 3.1.3 jailbroken with spirit? I've seen a couple mentioned via google but they seemed to have disasterous concequenses for some.
I've noticed a few times that when attempting to launch the multitasking feature it has blacked out my screen and started a loading screen similar to the power off screen only to have the phone come back on and need to be unlocked again. As a temporary fix I have found switching the phone on and off fixes it, but its happened a about 3 times over the past two months.
my iPhone 6 plus around a month ago, and this has been a recurring problem since the beginning. When I close apps from multitasking, I often get a split second where my entire screen turns blue and then goes back to normal. I only ask because I've done my fair share of searching on various sites to find no one with similar problems.Â
It should be noted that the issue only seems to occur when closing apps with high memory usage (Madden Mobile, True Skate, Vain Glory) and it occurs more frequently for some apps than for others.Â
I was super satisfied w battery life of my new iPhone 4 the first two days and until it ran down to 1%. After that I think it decrease too much and almost 1% per minute when surfing. But one thing I might be wrong is killing apps in the multitasking menu. Will that increase or decrease battery life? I am thinking maybe it will decrease rather since it is more of an effort to reload the program then having it idle in memory. Am I wrong and what else could affect battery life? I have fixed usual suspects, brightness, location services and push services.
Ive got 5530 from January this year. Recently I updated my phone via the nokia updater. In fisrt 2 days it was ok, but now i see a BIG lag when multitasking(when i turn some music the menus LAG as hell) and a small lag when singletasking (kinetic scrolling). The phone has 2 installed games and skype, i dont think its because overload.
i'm not sure if this a black and white yes/no question, but i'm trying to understand how the xoom handles switching between programs. for example, if i'm buffering a video clip on Internet, it appears that i cannot switch to any other program without interrupting the buffering. however, with certain games, i can switch to another program (email for example) and back to the game without loosing my place. are there certain rules that the xoom uses for switching between programs? does it perform differently between using the home icon versus the quick launch icons on the task bar? is multitasking function specific - meaning wifi or 3g/4g is always interrupted? is it program specific?
I just got my discount pricing from AT&T and want to go from my 3g to 3gs. If I walk into a store and buy one, can I jailbreak it? Do they upgrade the firmware on their stock or flash them when the customers get them? The store agreed to let me look at the phone before purchase, what should I look for? I have a friend there. What firmware is 100% breakable? I have no interest in iphone 4.0.
My E5 is shut itself down after using Opera Web + music + Palringo. I can't turn it on after, I need to wait for about 4 hours or more before starting it. It as soft resetted alone but how can I accelerate the process if I can't even turn it back on !
The back button gets less responsive the longer I play an audio file. A lot of times it goes to multitasking instead. Other than that the Back button works great.Lumia 900 here
