Advanced Task Killer free is killing HTC Sense

---

On my HTC legend, i've installed Advanced Task Killer free, and when using the widget, it sometimes kills HTC sense. Anyone know how to add Sense to the ignore list?

Posting this on the Android forum, and not only Legend since I would think this apply to all Android devices with HTC sense

There's a very simple solution, stop using task killers; they are completely and utterly pointless on Android.

Android's memory management is NOTHING like Windows Mobile. On there, apps keep running when you "exit" then, and don't close when other apps need their resources. On Android, apps stay in RAM in case you want to reuse them BUT, if something else needs their resources, or they've been inactive too long, Android itself will close them.

If the app is in RAM, odds are something is using it. So if you kill it, whatever is using it has to reload it all over again and that seriously kills your performance.

Stop using the things, seriously. After a couple of days, you'll be glad you did.

Agree with floatingfatman, all task killers do is slow sense down it needs all the processes to run correctly

I'll answer.

Open the Task killer and long hold on TouchFlo and choose ignore.

i use it with no problems. I found that if you take the mail widget off and then replace it it worls. Or just ignoring the mail on adv task killer. But it saves m,e a lot of battery life

Use htc stock so i think exchange app

Use one that doesn't suck, like TaskPanel.

I dont even know why you bother useing a task killer. I have had my phone a week now and didnt need one, until i read about it. Then i decided to install it and it just kept messing up programs (crashing, making sync stop etc) so i stoped using it.

Tbh, you dont need a task killer android release memory to apps that need it and they dont take cpu/battery either. Only thing you get by useing a task killer is programs that behave badly and might even crash the OS itself.

So dont just use it. They are all useing a exploit in the API for the programs and is not recomended or supported by neither google or android OS.
