Why does applications "Maps" and "Sms" keep starting?

[ITemplate]

Hi,

I notice that even if I kill applications "Maps" and "Sms" they keep showing in the list. I guess they are restarted by something. I have my GPS turned on but surely that should not start Maps? And I'm using Handsent for my messaging - not Sms.

Any advices?

its because they are services that are running so even if you kill them they will always start their service again

It might be true for "Sms" but not for Maps. I started seeing "Maps" in the list just a few days ago - noticed it because it uses 25% of the battery.

Even if it IS a service it must be possible to remove it from the service list?

Got it!

My GPS was lit (as it should be), and if the "Maps" application is set to automatically register my locations it will fire Maps when the GPS is lit. Disable the GPS or disable the automatics in Maps and it all works

Thanks.
