Closing an active app using ADB I need help closing an active connection in Android ADB on a rooted device. I tried everything that stackoverflow and Google can suggest for the past week. I even tried to uninstall the package. It worked for other active apps but not for this one. Any help will be appreciated.

1 active connections Connection Number: 0 Operating Mode: NORMAL com.android.server.display.DisplayPowerController | WakeLockRefCount 0 | uid 1000 | cache size 0 | max cache size 0
It's not changed in a while, you know.

In fact, since Honeycomb (Android 3.x) You can just run the following in adb:

adb shell am force-stop [PACKAGE]


Of course, replace [PACKAGE] with the package you want to chop up.
