Here is my problem. I have an app that shows battery status. I want to block this app from running in background and just check the status manually from time to time by launching it.
Well, the blocking setting for the app works for some period of time. I noticed that If I manually run the app frequently (as I'd like to do to check my battery usage pattern), the "block" is removed and the app runs again in the background! Please note that I don't check the box that says it will turn background on the next time you run the app.
I guess WP8 somehow intelligently does this and determines what apps should run in the background. But I absolutely don't need this automatic behavior. The battery app drains the battery fast as it continuously probes the battery status. Any solution to make the block setting permanent?
