task killer

I've read/heard conflicting opinions on whether a task killer improves performance or is completely unnecessary. Some say that it frees up memory, other's that the Android OS knows not to waste resources on background apps. Are either of those correct, or does it work a totally different way...

Hi all, I've purchased the above head unit (Will post specs below) and thought I'd give the 1Gb RAM unit a try, I've played about with android for a long time so already knew 1Gb was light, but I got it cheap (Always the problem!). So I've got a Hizpo (I know that's a bundler) unit, so actual...

I had this really great stock task killer app in my photon. The app kills tasks ONLY after 2 minutes of display timeout. Is there anything similar in the market? because all the apps I tested kill the apps while I'm using them.

Android task killers improve your phone's performance while also boosting battery life—or at least that's the much-debated promise. Here's a look at how task killers actually work, when you should (or shouldn't) use them, and what you can do instead. A task killer is an app from which you can...

Alright, coming from WM way back to an iPaq, as soon as I got an android I got task killers, especially as I watched my memory go down to like 40 megs. After reading I am deciding to remove any (excluding ZDBox) task killers that I have, and see if Android really does manage memory well. I...

I am in need of a fully transparent task killer widget (1x4 would be good) because the current go launcher transparent themed task killer is not complementing my new phone look: I know I should not be using any Task Killer but without so my phone memory reaches 80% of usage resulting in quick...

I was wondering if there are any good battery savers for the samsung infuse4G. i have the cpu tuner and not 100% sure how to use it. i have downloaded a half a dozen task manager/killers from the market. as of now i have "advanced task manager" killing every 5 min. i have some apps ignored. on...

Hello, I have just installed android on my HTC HD2 (nexus hd 2 gingerbread) and have some general questions: 1) is it advised to install a task killer? Or does it only use more battery for restarting several services constantly? 2) I've been checking out launcher pro and I like it. Is it...

I've looked extensively for information on this, but haven't found anything of any use. I've installed the Nexus S live wallpaper "Microbes" which runs perfectly well until something else is launched or the screen is locked. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is that the built in task killer...

Dear users, Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps. To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided...

Is there a task killer that can automatically end power wasting apps, and make things sync less often? I've tried a bunch of them and you have to keep opening it to close them.

Hey guys, If you have been involved in this community for a while then you well know how developers feel about task killers. Many such as Cyanogen have spoken out saying they are useless and not good for the phone. Heck, even Google released a blog about how Android works...

Okay, digging deep into Android's source.... not for the feint of heart, and not for those whose coding skills are somewhere just above, "Hello, world!" (Me) Here's the deal. We all know, with Froyo, Google disabled task killers. No app can kill another app. I for one am happy, because killing...

I been using Advanced Task Manager 4.1 before I updated to froyo and it killed all my unwanted apps very well. All the roms I tryed on 2.2 do this: they leave the apps connected to the internet open.

Hi! I read a lot about increasing the battery life of X10, and opinions on task killers are sometimes completely contrary. Right now I'm using Advanced Task Killer to kill apps in background, but I can't say my battery life increased drastically. So what do you think, Task Killers yes or no...
