Help Task killer - please help

[Alex troy]

I have Samsung Galaxy s6 128gb with Verizon. I downloaded rocket player for music listening, but every time I go to load my library, it stops along the way saying that "task killer" stopped the app.

How do I stop this from happening? Is there a better mp3 player to use with this phone? I did not install any task killer apps when I got the phone.

Thanks in advance.

This sounds like the infamous Chinese "Cheetah Mobile" snake oil task killer thing that comes with the S6.

Not sure what name Samsung gives it. You'll likely have to disable it, so it doesn't cause any problems, like killing your music players.

Sorry, but how do I disable this?

I have the Samsung S6 128gb. Every time I try to upload music to the Rocket Player app, it stops along the way saying that "the task killer stopped the app." I did not install any task killer apps. Is there a way to disable the default task killer (without rooting the phone)?

Thanks!

Hi @Alex troy !

I merged your topics discussing the S6 task manager. Because that is a feature specific to the Galaxy S6, the discussion really fits best here in the S6 subforum.

I think that feature is called Smart Manager. You can read about it here: http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/skp/faq/1074847

Good luck!
