Stop from running the Amazon MP3 Store App

[brosen]

Even though I keep killing with Task Manager the Amazon MP3 Store application, it keeps coming back, how I can stop it from auto running all the time or even better to fully remove it from the phone ?, thanks

I dont know why it does that but i know the app can be removed but you have to have root access. if you have root you can remove it through terminal. I dont know the exact commands to put in but you can search for it.

It runs because other applications are telling it to run, perhaps the Browser. Of course, other applications can make the Browser run, so you can have Amazon running for a variety of reasons.

My advice would be to ignore it. Android is not like Windows (where background processes use a ton of memory and resources). In Android, a background process can use as little a few bytes of memory, and 0% CPU. They don't have to run to listen for events like Windows processes do. They can sit completely dormant until Android fires an "Intent" at the app which will cause it to run/load/etc.

Thus, killing the app means you're just using more resources (the CPU required to kill it, then the CPU, RAM, and disk I/O required to reload it when something tries to run it a few minutes later). If you leave it alone, it'll us 0 CPU, and after a short while any RAM that it's using will end up on the compcache (compressed cache) and swap file (saved to disk), thus using no physical RAM at all.
