[Q] Task killer to use or not to use kindly advise

hi
i have a HTC tattoo rooted and using 1.6 cooked rom and a task killer no problem
Now i also have a Samsung Galaxy 3 and every time i use a task killer the phone gives a whole lot of problems my question is

1. why all these problems on the G 3
yes i did read some were that it is not good to use a TK and i also used the watchdog but i was feeling that my battery was draining fast
2. do i need to use a task killer or not on the 2.1 OS

and for ur info on the Tattoo i seem to be able to use the task killer and no problem at all no fc no restart noting but all this is happening on the G3 i have tried most of the task killer from the Market

can any one kindly advise on the same & thanks in advance

thanks

Well, there is a whole philosophy about using task killers on Android phones. If the device has good resources (battery, RAM, processor) it's not so useful but for mid- or low-range devices someone have to think about using one. I used Advanced Task Killer on Eclair and Froyo, without battery issues or other troubles. I use it manually, after using some other applications, when they remain in RAM, inactive but increasing the lag of the phone. I kill also the Advanced Task killer after using it. And after that the phone is more responsive... That's my experience with task killers.

What I recommend:

best:upgrade to froyo and just use the built in taask manager

good:if you feel like you dont want to flash a beta firmware then:

do not use kill all, do not use automatic killing (kill manually).

kill only processes from apps that you know were opened.

in advanced task killer (if you use that) do not put low security, high or medium. if you are going to use another task killer put a similar option if available (less processes will be shown)

Oh, and yeah, kill the task killer after killing apps (:
