Does anybody know why my camera has services and processes running even when the app is closed?

[Phillyjoeyb]

Even after I force stop the factory camera app... It still restarts. Why? Is it takin videos or pics?

The phone works in the background, message app, gallery , etc you want stop them too ?
Your going be chasing your tail with this.
If you have a issue where the camera pops open on its own like your taking a picture thats a different story .

Did you post previously with another account, and then cancelled that account? It seems that we've answered these questions already. Certain apps may be opened into RAM automatically by the system to allow for quicker and easier app switching. This is normal behavior for the system -- it's not malicious. Android is not like Windows, where empty RAM is more advantageous. In Android, empty RAM is more like wasted RAM, so the system likes to keep RAM relatively full with cached apps, to allow for more efficient switching.

Why your Camera app requires Phone permission is unclear. It might have to do with the manufacturer. If you're the same person as the previous poster whose account was cancelled or banned, then you mentioned you have an Intex Aqua on Android 7. Older Android versions didn't allow the user to pick and choose permissions in as granular a fashion as you can in later versions. Also, I wouldn't put it past off-brand manufacturers like Intex to either code their apps poorly or throw some questionable things like adware into their phones.

Thanks: But I want to stop the camera app,I stop the camera in the background, then forcibly, stop the camera,
but it starts itself in a minute and runs in the background again. From all applications
only the camera doesn't stop and often runs in the background, the rest of the factory applications do not run so much in the background

there is no such problem

 

[mustang7757]

there is no such problem

You should let andriod do its job at handling these things , there a reason it does for faster app start ups when exiting out but if your so set on this then go to developer settings turn background process off, this method u can't select which apps but expect sluggish app start ups or crashes

yes, there is written a running application and cached processes, the camera is located in running applications.

but as I understand it is normal yes?

Just because something is in RAM doesn't mean it's "running" (i.e., using a lot of CPU or battery). When something is in RAM but not in the foreground, it typically is paused or cached, and therefore not actively using any power.

I would strongly suggest that you stop worrying about micromanaging the phone's system. This is actually one of the reasons why phones from certain manufacturers don't perform very well -- because some manufacturers have this idea that constantly killing apps in the background leads to better performance and battery life. But what happens is that the overall performance of the phone starts to suffer. Opening and switching apps gets bogged down by the system having to load the apps back into RAM all over again). Some apps stop giving notifications because they're not being allowed to be active in the background. Battery life may actually take a hit because the process of loading an app into RAM afresh takes more energy than just keeping it cached, ready to open when needed.

Thank you. But it so happens that at least a little data transfer is used (e.g. camera)
