Remove and restore Scope from digest cycles

Question

Is there a way to remove a scope from the digest cycles? In other words, to suspend/resume a scope digest cycle?

In my case, I have all pages already loaded, but not all

I've ran into the same problem and I found an interesting solution that doesn't interfere (too much) with AngularJS. Add this to the scopes you want to disable:

var watchers;

scope.$on('suspend', function () {
  watchers = scope.$$watchers;
  scope.$$watchers = [];
});

scope.$on('resume', function () {
  scope.$$watchers = watchers;
  watchers = null;
});

Then, you can disable a scope and its children with: scope.$broadcast('suspend') and bring it back with scope.$broadcast('resume').
