Tune In Radio Pro can run perpetually on Fire
Using Badass Battery Monitor I've drawn a conclusion that, once TuneIn Radio Pro is turned on, it runs perpetually in the background when one thinks it is off in Wake and Sleep Modes.
One needs to use Shut Down Mode to shut down that App. Then going back to Wake Mode and / or Sleep Mode does not re-initialize TuneIn Radio Pro. It stays off. There does not seem to be a shut down button in the TuneIn Radio Pro App. Last edited by sirmaru; 12-21-2011 at 04:36 PM. |

To turn TuneIn off while in the app hit the menu key and choose exit otherwise it remains in the notification area open.

Better yet, just side load ES Task Manager from HERE
I notice tons of apps still run in background even after you think you've exited them properly. Just try not to kill any important Amazon device processes, you can simply hold down touch on them and put them on ignore so they won't show in list. |

I notice that AI Factory Chess App also has a Menu \ Save & Quit button as well. I'll have to check that Menu in every App to close them properly. I also notice, that even in Sleep Mode with Tune In turned off properly, there is no battery usage even with WiFi on. If I notice Sleep Mode works the same as Shut Down Mode, I can then keep the Fire in Sleep Mode all the time with WiFi on for getting App upgrades, Firmware upgrades and Syncing 24/7. Shut Down Mode then would only become necessary if an App does not close propery and it's Menu has no Exit button. Last edited by sirmaru; 12-22-2011 at 09:02 AM. |

It applies to all Android devices. It is well-known fact that Task Killers cause OS problems. Android manages things just fine. Amazon didn't rewrite the rules of Android. The Fire skin is just like HTC Sense or any other skin/ROM: A layer on top of the Android OS. People regularly root the Fire and put their own ROM on top of it. It's still Android underneath. If certain apps are misbehaving, the app should be uninstalled. Last edited by frankz; 12-22-2011 at 10:10 AM. |

Well you wouldn't want to kill any system apps but 3rd party app on the Fire can cause issue if left in Memory. The other day my Fire wouldn't even start up cause the Battery at 0% due to a app remaining in memory. I have notice the Fire does not put some apps in suspension like other Android devices. Amazon has change something. I don't know what. Some apps are okay to leave running like Pulse, Email, Calengoo but some apps that are installed onto the Fire seem to get stuck in memory causing the battery drain issue some users are having. This is where checking what apps are running are important and making sure when you put the Fire to sleep nothing isn't running that shouldn't be. This will ensure longer battery life on the Fire. I know from my own Testings. I don't use a task killer but manually close apps in Settings. You will also notice on other Devices when some apps are killed it will restart itself. Not so with the Fire. It stays closed until you open it again. I get 3 days of battery life with my Kindle Fire using this method. I am quite happy with that.

If the app refuses to idle and there is no menu option to close it, it should be force closed and then uninstalled. Quote:
You don't get 3 days of battery life. You get three days of use out of the same physically limited hours of battery life we all share. If you want to spend those hours of battery life turning on and off WiFi and manually closing apps, it's your business I guess. I prefer to spend it reading and browsing the web.

I never said one what I say is Fact as I don't know where you get that assumption. I only said the Fire is different then most android devices when it comes to putting apps that aren't optimized for the Fire in suspension. So killing an app isn't going to hurt anything if you know what you are doing on the Fire. Now this doesn't apply to my Phone as it's a real Android device and acts like one but the Fire doesn't, at least mine doesn't. Quote:
An article does not make something Fact we all know Amazon made a Hybrid O/S So some things worked differently on the Fire. Of course I am speaking from user experience as I had my Fire since the day it came out but the OP who I have been corresponding with in different threads has already had to replace his Fire so he wants to get the most battery life out of his and so we are offering tips to help, not trying to debate about something neither of us can't really prove is fact only Amazon can. The bottom line is from my experience killing some 3rd party apps on the Fire wont hurt it and will extend battery life in most cases. |

The ultimate way to shut down any App is to go to Shut Down Mode. Then ALL Apps are closed.
One can always go back to Wake Mode taking a few more SECONDS then going back to Wake Mode from Sleep Mode. In my OPINION, it still pays to Shut Down every night when one shuts down the PC and then goes to sleep. It clears the caches, temporary files and gets a clean re-boot for all Apps in the morning. However, a Menu Exit does away with the need to Shut Down after using an App which stays in memory. Badass Battery Monitor does a great job of telling the user which Apps are not shut down. One can measure App usage from the last Shut Down and from the last Full Charge. Its easy to spot Apps in memory that way. |
