Hello and welcome to the forum. You have a problem with a android device . now a task manager isn't needed . delete the task manager from the device. The device software is made to control all task being performed. So the task killer is killing the light sensor being that it see it on . remove the killer and do a reboot 2 times this will remove the app cache and also get the sensor back on track.

Thanks.
The task manager that I use is the one pre loaded on the phone, i dont have any app for it.
The light for it is not even dimmed now, its off completely, when i press it though, seems to be working fine, but i can notice some lag.
The task manager goes on whenever i unlock the phone by itself still, ive always had my touch key light off, but its annoying that it stopped working properlu after a swim....

Hi,
If I go to app manager and force an app to stop like Torque pro, clear cache, then open battery status and Torque pro is still at 35%. Does that means it's still hogging the battery even after I had already force it to stop in app manager?

You can clear the app data and cache I would not force it to stop

i forced it to stopped but it still remains in my battery status as 25%. why is that?

Do a reboot

the status is a 'history log', the log has to be cleared. or you have to reboot the phone.

Where is the trash can in the battery option? I only see force to stop and clear cache.
