IPhone :: Updating Background On 4s?
Mar 26, 2012
I'm loving my Iphone 4s almost as much as the fluidity of IOS.Opening webpages in the background, organizing, responding to photostream issues.However there is one option missing(or one that i cant find) and that would be to choose which of the available updates you want to install.This can be done ofcourse but I dont get the logic if i press the update button why im forced back to the home screen only to watch a loading bar, having to go back to the app store, let it load all of the available updates again etc etc.
I'm running out of space on my 16 gb model and my home network isnt unlimited download bandwith.
Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1

I have noticed an issue with the Galaxy S5 that apparently only occurs with the Verizon variant. I work for a place called Wireless Advocates, we are the cell phone kiosk inside of Costco. I'm asking about this because I've had three customers come in to ask about this background data issue.
I'm not sure what triggers this issue but when I try opening up google play I get the "Background Data Disabled : Google Play Store Needs background data to be Enabled" error. It then gives you the ability to either quit or enable the data. If you press enable it takes you to the account screen in settings.
When I go to Data usage the option to "restrict background data" is greyed out. You can't even select it and it isn't checkmarked either. Just to clarify, accessing the internet and other things on the phone work perfectly fine. It's just the use of Google Play that is having issues. I called Samsung customer care and they aren't aware of this issue at all. Also note that force stopping google play, play services, removing the google accounts and adding them back and rebooting the phone haven't solved it. After the reboot the phone will appear fine and then a box that says "Restricting background data".

I have a new T-Mobile S6 Edge and love the phone, but one thing I have not figured out is why I still get background mobile data usage even though I have disabled mobile data and set "restrict background data". Both tuiService and OS services are downloading approximately 100K at a time periodically over mobile data throughout the day even though I have a wifi connection.

I know how background apps should work. What I'm wondering is why everything I do on my 3GS gets put in the background page, and I end up with 50 apps in the list? If all these are still "running" in the background, that has to be killing the phone and the battery. Is there any way to close out these apps without them going to the background list? Even if most of them are not "running" in the background, isn't that anoying to have all of them listed there?

Whenever I try to activate backgrounder on cydia, it just goes straight to voice control with no backgrounder enabled notification. I have backgrounder to to auto detect (I have an iPhone 4 on 4.0.1). When I do an override and set it to run as if in foreground it doesn't do it. How can I make cydia background so I can close it and open again where I was, with going back to the homescreen and reload data and such?

My buddy has a driod and is able to constantly have his location updated on Google Latitude. I would like to be able to do this with my friends. Will the background capability of my soon to be aquired i4 allow me to do this with Latitude or some other app?

Battery more than the old version? I'm leery to log back in (it logged me out when I installed the upgrade) as I don't want it to drain the battery. Also if I do that thing where you manually close the programs will that kill the Skype app to? I don't have a skype in number so I don't really need it to run in the background. Would like to just close it when done.

I'm an avid app-hopper.. on my 32Gb 3GS, I have a tendency to hop from app to app, into safari, then into another app etc. What I'm finding is that after doing this, some titles (usually games such as Airport Mania and Monopoly) start running really slugglishly (and Monopoly starts complaining that it's running out of memory) until I open the taskbar and start closing everything there.
I may have missed it but is there any way to tell which apps are 'running' in the background and which aren;t - or do we assume that all apps in the taskbar are doing so? (although when I have restarted an app from the taskbar, most load up again from scratch).
So I'm just wondering if there's a way to disable this feature so that when I press the Home button, I know the app is actually closing properly?

Iphone 4: Is there a way to turn certain apps off once you exit out of the app instead of double tapping the home screen button every time you open an app to turn it off?

I was hoping with OS 4.0 that I'd be able to keep Pocket Tunes (Internet radio) running while using other apps. If I'm listening to pocket Tunes, I double tapped the home button, and if i scroll to another app, pocket tunes stops playing? I thought that multiple tasking meant this would not happen??

I started facing something weird today with the Music.app on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. The music from the Music.app stops playing as soon as I leave the app. This happens if I try to switch to another app, or press the home button or even lock the screen with the app in the foreground. It automatically starts playing as soon as I reopen the app. When the screen is locked, double tapping the home button brings up the iPod controls. But the play button there doesnt respond and the same thing happens with the play button from the multitasking tray too. It's as though the Music App can no longer play in the background.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my iPod, or just the way it's supposed to work.
It's an iPod, not an iPhone, but I'm using it to learn more about how the iPhone works.
I've got what I think is a second generation iPod (chrome back plate, and no camera).
Version: 4.2.1 (8C148)
Model: MB531LL
I set the "wallpaper" to the same default background as I have in my iPhone - the gray colored background with bubbles all over.
On the iPhone, this works fine.
On the iPad, the background remains black.
Is there a different setting I need to use? I think I've done everything right, and even reset the iPod to "new", but the background behind all my apps is still a solid black color.
Also, I know there's no phone, no camera, and no multitasking, but will this device function pretty much the same as an iPhone 3GS? Will I be able to install the same Wi-Fi utilities such as Skype and Viber?

Since I've upgraded to iOS4, I've noticed that emails don't seem to be sending the way they used to. If I compose an email outside of the Mail app (for example, sending a link to a web page from Safari) the email never sends unless I manually go into the Mail app's outbox folder, open the message again and then hit send from there.Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this really the way sending mail supposed to work now?(I should note that I'm using Google's Gmail Exchange Sync system here, but I don't think that's the problem. I can send email from within the Mail app very quickly as long as I wait for the sending sound to play before exiting or switching apps.)UPDATE: same issue using an IMAP account/and sending via SMTP.

The background feature single-handedly killed every other smart phone on the market. I realize other phones can run apps in the background, but Apple did it properly.
To see one app roll off screen to the left as another quickly rolls on from the right is just simply pleasing to watch. App switching on the 3GS is hitch free, I'm excited to see how well my iPhone 4 will do with twice the RAM.

so is there a way to "close" and app instead of it "minimizing" in the background I know you can double tap home, hold an icon, and then close it that way" but this is quite the hastle doing this every time i exit an app..and im sure the more apps you have in your "minimize tray" the faster your battery drains... correct?
have you guys found any way to close an app with out it minimizing? or even an magic "remove all" button to close all open apps...

This used to work fine a long time ago before iOS 4. I would open Pandora, hold the home button to enable backgrounding and press home to go to the SpringBoard. Now I noticed for my other radio app that the audio just stops. How do you let the audio keep playing while Backgrounded?

I was told that apps could be "turned off" in the iphone, which saves on battery life and removes the apps from the main screen, placing them in a scrollable line at the bottom.

My home button is very tempermental. Took it into the store and they showed me how to turn off apps running in background and that helped for a while. Now I have to touch it upwards of 20 times to get it to work.

I have an iphone 6 which is initially running fine, but after i restored it via itunes yesterday, the battery started draining really quickly due to the 'messages' app. Â
Before the restore, my iphone would drain about 3-4 % overnight, however yesterday night (after the restore) it drained over 20%. When I checked the battery usage in settiings, messages took up 66% of the battery usage, and it was labelled with 'background activity'. I have never seen this before the restore, and my background refresh is turned off. I did not use the messages app at all when i left it overnight.Â
I did a network settings reset, and also powered on/off the device but the problem does not go away. How do i stop the battery drain?
