G+_Neil Sedlak Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Josh Frye? Ok, that drain isn't due to apps, it's because your phone is using the cellular radio at high power due to poor signal. The only solution to that is airplane mode. Closing apps won't help as it's the underlying connection, independent of the data use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh Frye Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Neil Sedlak That maybe the case, I will have to experiment and see. It doesn't change my opinion about Shutapp being useful in certain cases though, the white list function is what convinces me. I can see it useful in some instances like trouble shooting and data usage. But if it didn't have that function I would be onboard with you and the others.

G+_Mark Harry Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Josh Frye Having used Galaxy S2, 3 and 4, those stupid phones could be left on my desk overnight with 75% battery and in the morning they would be dead. I currently have a OnePlus and it goes 2 days, I think it's all the crapware from OEM's that are updating or up to no good. I think this is an awesome app for anyone who doesn't have a Nexus or OnePlus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Hugo R. Martin Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I usually don't vote even if I listen every week... But now it's I'm important... I've done my homework, I've installed all the apps (including the cooking one... Wait what?)... And then I voted for One More Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Andrew Carvalho Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Shocked One More Line is not winning. What a beautiful retro rogue like with fantastic music and style. Can only assume people want to give Ron the win which is understandable, but is contrary to the spirit of The Arena (and Greenify is a better solution imo).

G+_Michael Keepper Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Shutapp caused my Nexus 4 to freeze up. I had to do a Hard Reset to get it running again. I uninstalled ShutApp right away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Daniel Rice Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 One of a thousand task killers? Nah, bro. The other three were all strong entries, and a task killer just really doesn't belong. At all. That's not a tie-breaker! Gina wins, based purely on Ron's laziness if nothing else. [boos] ? (edited) After reading, i stand corrected re Shutapp and task killing. Penitence..

G+_Yirga Lab Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Interesting discussion. :) Actually ShutApp is NOT a task killer (which you shouldn't use anyway). Task killers kill processes to free up memory. They concern how much memory running apps take up, but CPU is the resource that actually drains your battery. ShutApp stops apps from running in the background, stopping them from using memory, CPU, and Wakelocks. It also disables the receiver in the shut down apps. This way the apps won't be able to start again stealthily. You may give it a shot if you need a battery saver. It is interesting that both Ted Fishman and Andrew Carvalho mentioned Greenify. Greenify works very well on rooted phones but on unrooted phones, ShutApp may be easier to use. Same as an app developer like Amit Schreiber and to put it in another way, Apps like ShutApp and Greenify give more chances to developers so that they can improve the apps that work improperly and drain a lot of battery. Also thank you Josh Frye and Mark Harry and all the others for your support. Last but not the least, thank you so much Ron Richards for recommending ShutApp in your last Arena. YirgaLab Team do appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michael Keepper Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yirga Lab? Yes, it finally started working, but shortly after I used ShutApp, my Nexus 4 went dark and would not respond. I had to do a Hard Reset to get it working again. I uninstalled ShutApp. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Michael Keepper Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yirga Lab? No I do not have the Lux app. I am certain that one of my apps caused the problem, but which one. I did s Whitelistbto protect most of the favorite apps plus all the Google apps. It might just have been an coincident, but zi rather not take the chance.
