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.
hi
Thanks but today when i used the same my phone network had problem ie no network had to remove app reload my sim to get it working wat did i do wrong

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

I installed a task killer and noticed that when killing certain apps, the phone just lags real bad. I discontinued use of it and now the phone has no serious pausing. I was killing unknown apps with Android box icons.

yeah I uninstalled it as well. I heard Android does great job of managing ram and as soon as it gets low, it will start killing other apps automatically.
you need to learn what apps need to stay running, but some apps are just fluff and worthless... you may need to set up you task killer to ignore certain apps like handcent and clock... killing any android processes is usually a bad idea.. I just kill my 3rd party apps that open for no reason or use it to close apps when I am done using my phone for a while...
You should not need a task killer with this phone. Android has been managing its own memory and background services quite nicely for a while now.

Thats what i was told but when i uninstalled the task killer my phone lagged with everything i did. Even when closing programs properly it still lagged. Im keeping my task killer.

yeah maybe its not as good as most people say it is at controlling its own memory usage.
Task Killers = meh,
Android has a way of doing things and that means keeping apps open for some time, I tried using app-killers and it did not seem to make my phones run better, and auto kill everything is even worse...

idk if youre rooted or not, or if this app works on the vibrant cuz it does an amazing job on the g1, but you could try autokiller, tho it requires root. what it does is change the android memory management settings and will kill apps more frequently depending on the settings you choose.

I still need to use it for those unruly apps but I got so used to it because my old phone would lag with Slacker even in the background and I had to kill it. I've stopped using it and I've stopped having major problems. Just an FYI for those out there that still use one, it's not needed here on a regular basis really.
I noticed that I can't use the "kill all" function in Advanced Task Manager by Arron La any more without making my phone freeze up. My brother suggestion Task Manager by Rhythm Software (he has a MyTouch Slide). This program doesn't give me any problems when killing files and also doesn't list system files (that I've noticed).
The people who are having problems with task killer are the ones that are not setting it up correctly or don't have enough apps installed for it to make any difference.
If you don't setup the ignore list correctly your phone will freak out or make your existing problem worse.
Android 2.2 is a different story though, Froyo is faster without a taskiller
Buddy here's what .....
Download AutoKiller from the market , then go to the dev's webpage ,there he has a lot of information about android and memory management .... then you can make an informed decision .... the lag issue you continue to have .,.,..., you might have to do a hard reset to clear the system of that poorly coded task/app killer ....
Here's some more information http://androidforums.com/samsung-vibrant/124542-constant-apps-restarting-themselves.html
I hope that here on xda we can help people to understand Android and memory management , so they are not fooled by these task/app killers that work against the system ......

I used to have the original my touch 3g, lag central, even on custom roms. Task killer was handy, so I got in the Babbitt if killing tasks. I then got me a nexus, and it seemed to have not needed one, but I still used it out of the Babbitt and being paranoid of my plbattery being wasted with apps on the background and lag lol. Well, I'm now done with them, seriously, no need for task killers. I think on this phone it does more damage then good, most apps need to be running on the background, killing them just lags your phone. Like you'd lose signal, or it would run time and date update again, etc.
Task killers may not be necessary for memory management, but it will help save on battery by killing 3rd party apps that stay running in the background. I use Advanced Task Manager myself, and never get any lag when I run it. The main thing you need to "exclude" if you havnt already, is the TWLauncher(or whatever launcher you're running).
what is the best working auto task killer? I have tried several and now using advanced task killer but there is always some apps. that keeps on running and autostarting (market, settings etc...)
The best auto killer is to NOT use one. Let Android itself handle memory management.

I tried this for a few days but I still think we need some sort of auto task killer for at least selected applications. I don't know any other way to close opera mobile and some other applications then with task killer, and if I leave then in the background phone becomes very laggy.
now i get it...i'll have watchdog ^^
Guys kindly share ur experience here.what is the best task manager fir better RAM optimization in your view?
I do not recommend using any task killer for any android phone. Here *read and learn*, but if you really want to use one then just monitor the app that is unnecessarily eating your cpu using watchdog and manually kill it otherwise 'task killers' will take up your phone's resources.
Android is totally different compared to windows... Android don't ever need task killer! Just leave it to be, it'll auto optimize...

task killers like people said are not recommended.
but that doesnt mean that you cant use it, you still can use it daily actually.
my favorite and the best task killers out there in the market are Advanced Task Killers
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5yZWNoaWxkLmFkdmFuY2VkdGFza2tpbGxlciJd
+1 to what above users said.Killing an app will only make it load again which consumes battery.
Killing tasks in Android is generally not recommended but if you really want a task killer, Advanced Task Killer does the job well.
Thanx alot all u bro.i m using memory booster.i works like a charm for me...
I use Quick System Info and Advanced Task Manager but the apps will automatically restart after being killed and this procedure even cost more CPU usage. I also use the built-in "Running services" setting but it's not so effective either, sometimes forcing an app to stop won't free more memory.
Apps in android work like this. Say you are running Google Maps.
-Android: Ok he's using maps, lets use some of the ram.
-Android: Oh he stopped using maps, ill just empty the app from the RAM but ill keep some information here in case he wants to run it again, plus maps still needs to do something so ill keep some info for it.
Now if you put a task manager to kill the remaining information (which is close to 0 in size) you add this.
-Android: Hey where did the info for google maps go? Oh darn i guess ill have to load the app again from scratch and use additional ram.
So all in all it ends up being counterproductive. Task killers worked on 2.2 and earlier versions. On 2.3 its almost automatic.
If you're looking for better ram managment, i suggest you try the V6 Supercharger Scripts.
I agree with the post above.
Using task manager actual result is slower and higher battery usage.
I use V6 Supercharger also, it changes the minfree amount, that is how much RAM has to be available minimal always.

Yeah... I totaly agree with dumraden... Android is very good at managing RAM on ots own...
If u kill an app, it will only cause unnecesary load on the CPU...
Btw very good explaination man...

Hi,
Although I have red all the relevant posts, in XDA, I can not come to a final conclusion "Which is better".
So I have installed all four of them.
So my Samsung I9100 has the following task killers:
Go
Auto Killer Memory
System Tuner pro
+
ROM Toolbox
+
Titanium Backup Pro
I Thing it is too much.
Any Advice what to through away would be helpful for me.
Your post seems to boil down to what is the best task killer. If that is the question you're asking, remove all of them and don't look back.

Thanks for the immediate reply,
Ok, Task killing is one of my thoughts, but Titanium Backup and System Tuner Pro and ROM Tool have many other uses and some of them do task killing.
all of task killers r killers themselfs.....so if u need data+sys apps backup than titanium is wat i use,allthough there r otha similiar apps too in market for free...my personel exp is there is no proper app to save batt and task manger tht do tht cause a logic they run in background...install betterbatterystats to see wats draining ,very usefull......cheeeerz

So you propose to through away the task killers?
Perhaps a silly question how the system deals with the tasks without a task killer?

Do a search with your favourite search engine for "android task killers". Read and understand the results.
TB for backup and freezing .
Task Killer not required it is Android not Windows .
But if you think you need a task killer stick with the four of them and be dead as can be .
jje
Ok,
I Understood that
. task killers are not necessary
. Titanium Backup remains (either way it was my decision)
What about System Tuner Pro and ROM toolbox?
Is it Ok to keep both or.....?
hi guys

You can use Smart RAM Booster, i used it on my Galaxy SL and it worked perfectly, also works on SGS3. You can also set a time to auto-kill the apps and clear cache.
Search it on Play Store, there's a free version if you want to try it.
Hope it helped

i don't think it's advisable to use any task killers for our android.. but if you insist, you can try what the guy above me suggested. also, if you are annoyed with some constant stock apps running on the background, you can use Titanium Backup to freeze those apps
I hope this helps cheers

Task killers are evil, and often degrade performance and battery life. As suggested previously freeze or uninstall apps that are continually running in the background.
