I'm on the optimus v, using harmonia (love it, amazing battery life) with xionia 10 kernel, but I can't seem to find a good task killer that works. It either closes itself even if I ignore it to kill itself, or it just doesn't kill anything when I push kill.... -.- any suggestions on a nice working talk killer?

It's good. But I'm using Bomb that task because it can kill app with root power so it won't start again after some time.
Taskiller - battery killer
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Dont use any as above said..
Goto settings>applications>development>check "stop via long-press"
now whenever u long press the back button the app running in foreground gets KILLED..This is wat i do..when need to close the used app..like opera mini..dont know this right or wrong to do..reply back
Actually... I'm using it only for kill google apps (maps, rss reader, ...) on Mik's Cyanagon and there is not problem at all.
Because I'm using google maps time to time and some time I forget to kill app and killer do it instead of me. When I not kill it, it kill my battery much quickly than killer itself....
I have a shortcut to "Manage Applications" that I created thanks to Launcher Pro. That way I can force close Apps with as few clicks a possible without using a task killer

I've some apps downloaded, and they keep running in background draining my battery and data.
I've been using task killer, advanced task killer to kill those apps. But I see them running again.
None of them use services.
Some of the apps are ebay, maps, download manager etc
I do this because I need to save the battery.
Any help ?

You are hurting your battery. Just get rid of the task killer. B/ground = not an issue.

So what you're sayin is, you will receive more (or just as much) battery life if you leave the apps that are running in the background alone?
Hmm...i guess its worth a shot, I don't think I've ever not had a task killer
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thats exactly what I am saying, and so do all of the developers AND the folks who make Android. Task Killers are not recommended on newer builds of the OS.
When you kill things in the b/ground (which are doing nothing) all you are doing is making you phone re-open them, hence killing battery.

If you're phone is rooted, App Freezer in the market brings this feature to the table for free. A tip...
Hi, I think there are more features on the advance task killer app, are some of you using that one instead?
There really isn't a need for a task manager. You would have to work to really need one to free up space.

Ugh... no need for another one. The included one takes care of everything just fine, even without user interaction.
So it will kill apps automatically? If thats the case, then good by adv task killer...less is more

There's no need to use it honestly. The only thing it's good for is killing **** that's bugging out or frozen. The ~400 or so megs of ram that HTC leaves you for your own stuff is enough for like 20 apps to live in memory. There's no reason to keep the majority of your memory empty, since android will do it for you if it needs it.
Mine after sitting off for about 15 min shows 596MB used and 207MB free in the task manager from the total of 803MB
All are unnecessary.

I may be wrong, but I thought the point of a task killer is to conserve battery. Battery seems more important than RAM for this phone since it has so much RAM included.
The legend goes "if you kill apps it saves battery" but when u kill apps they reopen seconds later,, u want to save battery then figure out why they open in the first place,.may be a push notification type app or service

You can't fully close a few apps with the back button alone. Internet being one of them. Once open it will be open until you reset your phone or kill it
It never touches background apps. Only foreground and frees RAM
It improves battery life.

Task Manager works great for me. I close all programs and the only one that comes back is Launcherpro. Obviously that changes when I open other apps, but when I'm done playing around, I'll kill all apps and pocket the phone.
I like it way more than task killer.
Are any of you using EasyTether with the HTC task manager? I'm worried that some problems I'm having might be caused by it.
On advanced task manager it shows more apps open on HTC its not showing evey app open like spiderman opens a lot by itself

cosidering your phone is reconfiguring memory when you are doing either or, thats most likely why. when doing either of those your phone is thinking a little bit harder than normal. when installoing an app, you are also using a decent amount of straight data which could why. but it shouldnt be more than a few seconds. you might be over thinking it, lol

Task killers are one of the main reasons people's phones slow down. They kill system processes and services which cause the phone to lag. There are some where you can set the tasks to be killed and ones to allow, but there are some that you won't see that will get killed anyway.

So I rooted my lg l9, thinking I was going to be able to uninstall the bloatware easily, but what's the point if you can just go into app section in settings and disable the bloatware apps you don't want?
You just cant disable or remove some apps without rooting. For example- playstore app, its keeps running in background even if u stop it. So, use titanium backup or any such software and freeze it, and get more ram free by doin same with other unwanted apps.

Actually I use ATK, advanced task killer, which automatically kills any unwanted background apps every half hour. Extends battery backup for many hours.

Without root, you can disable around 80% of bloatware in T-mobile version, I remember I could not disable the Identity app. But the plus side of disabling apps is that you don't need root.
And app killers ... I haven't used one for a long time: http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
Alryt, this might be the noobiest question of them all. I just rooted my DX and I cannot seem to find that small little widget which cleared out all the RAM with just one touch. A circular thingy, in which a green bar moved anticlockwise and a cross in the center. Been as searching every nook and cranny for hours now coz I just can't remember from where I got it in the first place, just that its a stock widget. Some help guys?
I dont have stock cleaner optimizer widget.

If you ask me , using task killer to free your RAM is a BAD idea. Android is built in a way as to maximize multitasking. If you must, try supercharger scripts otherwise all these play store apps don't do much except pretty animations.
Even if they do kill process, It's more likely to make your system response slower rather than faster.

Yes. Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
Flowed from my HTC branded muffin...
All these task killers flourish coz of user ignorance about how android works. It is designed to handle memory efficiently on its own. Task killing will meddle with its internal working and will eventually cause adverse effect.
When an app goes into background, the system, after a while, automatically takes a memory snapshot and freezes it. In this state, the app use no processing power. The app is returned to the old state on resume.
And yes, unused RAM is wasted RAM.
Please correct me if wrong.

Yeah but lots of games dont quit when i press the exit button so i need task manager. Plus my phone is very slow if i dont press the Speedboost widget after a game or after an hour.
