Re: Stop force closing apps on your iPhone, it's not making it run faster or last longer

2015-10-25 Thread Dave

Hi, I saw the Vonage app mentioned in your Email.

I have downloaded the app, but i can't create an account.

I can put in my Email address , but when i double tap on the enter password, 
it doesn't seem to do anything.


Hope someone can help.

Dave.

This article is pure link bait.  Map apps like Apple Maps or Google
Maps are big battery drains.  This also includes the Seeing Eye GPS
app and Blind Square.  I also find the Vonage app to be a medium
battery drain and close it when I am not making a phone call.

Hello Alan,

What you described is exactly what exists on most of the recent Samsung Android 
phones.  I find the close all button extremely useful.

I would like to see in the app switcher a close all button forexample in the 
lower left hand corner so that one could close all opened apps at once.

There has been recent comment (in newspaper tech columns) that several users
have found that Facebook doesn't close properly (as when not in use) in
recent versions of the app; that it's also draining the iPhone battery by
constantly updating one's location etc information in the background.
Facebook says that it's "investigating".

Maybe so and maybe no. I have read articles like this before and while this
may be correct theoretically, I think what the author does not consider is
that not all apps are created equal. How often have you seen something in
the What's New section of an app that menbtions the developer has fixed a
memory leak or fixed something which caused excessive use of battery power
or they fixed something which caused the app to remain active in the
background. I have seen all of these in the last 5 years at some point or
another so all it takes is a developer who hasn't done a good job with their
code and of course removing the offending app from the app switcher will fix
this. Therefore I happily continue to waste 10 or 20 seconds of my valueable
time once or twice a day to force quit the apps I don't use. For the amount
of time it took the author to write this article and post it, he could have
probably closed apps on his phone once a day for years to come especially
since I think a sighted person can swipe up and close multiple or even all
apps at once.

Re: Stop force closing apps on your iPhone, it's not making it run faster or last longer

2015-10-21 Thread Christopher Chaltain
IMHO, I agree with the article that forcing apps to close isn't 
necessary all of the time, and I don't do it myself slavishly because it 
takes time, and I'd rather have the iPhone manage it's tasks than to 
spend my time doing it for IOS. Developers spent a lot of effort and 
thought implementing multi-tasking, so I'm going to take advantage of 
that feature, just like I do other features on my iPhone.


I think the article over simplifies how multi-tasking works. I doubt the 
apps actually close. What I suspect happens is that the memory they're 
taking is cached and the processor stops giving that app any cycles. For 
all practical purposes, the app is not running, but the last state of 
the app is still captured in cached memory. this is why for example, no 
matter how long you don't switch to your Mail app, when you do switch to 
it, you'll be looking at the last message you were reading or in the 
last folder you were browsing. If you force close your Mail app then 
when you bring it back up, you'll be back in your In Box.


The article's example of apps being in your App Switcher after you power 
off and power on your phone is also misleading. The iPhone could be 
going into suspend or hibernation mode when you power it off, so it's 
saving the state of each app, just as it does when the phone is running 
but an app isn't being used.


I agree with others that there could always be a rogue app that has a 
memory leak or doesn't always idle itself as much as it could, so 
there's definitely a reason to force close some apps. Also, as good as 
Apple's multi-tasking and memory management is, there are times when it 
makes sense to free up as much memory and processing power as possible, 
such as when upgrading or loading a particularly memory or processor 
intensive app. I don't think force closing apps has a negative impact 
other than taking some user time, so if you want to do it then go ahead. 
It's your time to spend any way you want.


When in the App ?Switcher, VoiceOver announces the state of each app as 
you flick between them. It'll be interesting to pay attention to see 
what those different states are. I haven't paid attention to them myself 
before.

Re: Stop force closing apps on your iPhone, it's not making it run faster or last longer

2015-10-21 Thread Wayne Merritt
It can't hurt, but I also don't want to be an "app switcher neat
freak" and close every app each time it is opened. I usually keep my
app switcher with between 10 and 14 apps running at any one time, and
often more like 10 to 12. IMO, too much above that and you are slowing
down your device. Currently running an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.0.2. I
bring this up since I know people who, each time they get an email in
Gmail, they will delete it and then go and empty their trash. This is
overkill in my opinion. The iPhone is smart enough to manage these
things in the background. I often find apps in the switcher which will
not say active, menaing iOS has closed them to better use resources.

Re: Stop force closing apps on your iPhone, it's not making it run faster or last longer

2015-10-21 Thread Kellie
I agree with you on this. I have had in the past where my battery was rundown 
until I close something that was running. So has my friend. I can't speak of 
recent years since this was a while ago. However, it's not hurting me to waste 
10 seconds to close apps.

My thought is, it can't hurt.

Maybe so and maybe no. I have read articles like this before and while this may 
be correct theoretically, I think what the author does not consider is that not 
all apps are created equal. How often have you seen something in the What's New 
section of an app that menbtions the developer has fixed a memory leak or fixed 
something which caused excessive use of battery power or they fixed something 
which caused the app to remain active in the background. I have seen all of 
these in the last 5 years at some point or another so all it takes is a 
developer who hasn't done a good job with their code and of course removing the 
offending app from the app switcher will fix this. Therefore I happily continue 
to waste 10 or 20 seconds of my valueable time once or twice a day to force 
quit the apps I don't use. For the amount of time it took the author to write 
this article and post it, he could have probably closed apps on his phone once 
a day for years to come especially since I think a sighted person can swipe up 
and close multiple or even all apps at once.
