facebook-this is a very poorly written app...and when you have sync on, it chews the battery (widget version is even worse)

whatsapp- another poor app, although it is not going crazy...it is contributing

widget locker- seems that this is very active and creating the majority of the problems

genie widget- "live" widgets always use a ton of data and battery. set the sync interval lower...do you need weather to update more than every couple hours? for that matter every 4

evernote- try another similar app, this one is too active

TITANIUM- almost always see problems when this one pops up. generally something got backed up that shouldn't have been

lastly are you using a task killer? if you are stop...if not, maybe titanium is causing the errors i saw

Fb sync - off in accounts and in fb settings

Widget locker - I have no such app?

Genie widget updates every 8 hours

Ever note widget off

Titanium uninstalled. No apps restored by titanium. Ever.

No task killers at all.

1. What is widget locker? And how can I stop it?
2. Aokp has min free task killer. I've set it at 25mb. Is that considered a task killer?

Titanium is a great app
What???
Im serious, however it is too powerful for the average user.
Besides, it is not needed to restore apps like in the past. Google does a great job of this now.
Mms backup? Please, just use Google voice. Carrier mms is archaic
Game progress backup? Any game I have ever bought or used, I will beat again in a third of the time

widget locker is an app by teslacoil. i saw that and just assumed, maybe it is nova launcher
evernote is still active, it doesn't need to be a widget. get rid of it
titanium uninstalled? after the logcat right?

maybe it is evernote? you could try to uninstall and see what happens
remember, rouge apps don't need to be "used" to cause harm

I recommend a full data wipe/reset and start over.

yes it is, but it tweaks the internal default android task killer..i haven't messed with this at all. i recommend you set to default (80) until your phone is "stable" then feel free to test it

Yes google restores the apps off course but when you flash different rom`s it`s handy to restore the apps + the user data like passwords etc. That saves a lot of time

Ask the users (having problems because of it) how much time they have saved.

Most of the time it's safe enough to restore ordinary app data, at least as long as you've got the same version of the app installed, but all too often people restore system app data, and that almost always causes problems. I actually use MyBackup Pro, but it's 90% the same, and I've never had issues.

Then again, MyBackup Pro handles SMS/MMS better than Titanium IMO, so it can restore them regardless of whether or not you've changed Android versions. Titanium just restores the database file IIRC, so different Android version can break on that easily.
