Sorry if this has been talked about. But didn't find much on it. Are anyone using it? Do you recommended it? Free or paid version? I have tried the free one but didn't notice any thing.

Worst app I ever bought. At first I thought it was the mutts nuts but as I learnt more about what my phone was really doing I realised that I used more battery with it running than without.
Don't get me wrong though its brilliant if you hardly touch your phone but if like me you cannot put it down then its absolutely pointless, I much preferred using a combination of apps to save battery's, llama a free task automation app, autostarts to stop things running in the background and fast reboot pro to free up some memory.

Its a complete waste of money, i use battery defender instead its free & does a better job
Battery lasts a day, whether JD enabled or not.

@scratch: as far as i know you don't even need to install any auto killer to terminate apps cuz Android has a feature through which it shuts down unnecessary apps when free space is required...

Nowhere did I mention any task killer and just fyi I know perfectly well how androids built in task killer works!
I also know that the android task killer has exactly the same flaw deep down as any auto taskkiller, all apps have certain parameters which when met will enable an app to start. These parameters range from things such as switching on wifi or mobile data to simply plugging in your charger therefore even the built in taskkiller is slightly flawed as an app which has been killed before can just restart as soon as one of its parameters are met.
Check out the app I mentioned autostarts which isn't a taskkiller as such but more stop the task parameters from being met in the first place.

No Taskkiller is the best taskkiller. If u use this programms ur battery drains faster because most of running apps starting again after killing.. Taskkiller were only usefull at Android 2.2 also Froyo Androis version with GB and ICS there are useless. XD

I did not know it....So basically it closes it self when i press home?(i didn't think so..)In my oppinion it stays open and eating a lot of memory which is causing battery drain....Of course some apps are have to open all time but you can edit a non-app-kill list where you can put those apps.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks for your reply anyway
I think the best app killer for ICS is an app where u can choose what app have to run automatically and what not have to do.
With GB I used gemini app manager, but I don't try it on ICS yet.
For when an app is running and u would force close it u can use the stock ICS app killer simply holding central button.

App killer is by defintion of little value, it doesn`t do much and is imo quite useless. I have never used one because the benefits are marginal.

I go to the quick settings and the total memory is 829MB.. 624MB used and 204MB free. There are NO applications running on the task manager. Is 204 normal or should I have more? If so, what should I do to get more?
Thank you

well in my experience with Energy Rom, Xboarder's roms and even ICS you always have around 350-440mb free when no running aything.

Well that makes sense. My phone is out of the box normal. I guess I need to start rooting it. I dont wanna run out of memory in the end while using apps.
It says 830MB total. And with all my widgets i have 198MB free
I've got 219 free. Having more ram doesn't affect anything unless you are running out. That's when stuff starts slowing down.

What are your thoughts on using task killers or memory management apps on our S4s? I'm a bit mixed and not sure which one's are of the best benefit or work correctly.
I have the app: Temp/Cpu Widget : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sanels.tempcpuv2
which shows the "Free Memory" amongst other things on my home screen.
I definitely notice overall screen transitions and the loading of apps, ect... much more fluid when the free memory reports around 700ish or above
If it dips below 500 things seem to lag a bit.
Only way I've found to retrieve the memory back to the preferable amount to gain back performance is to use one of several available task killers or memory free up apps but I've read mixed reports on using these.
Is there a better way at keeping the max free memory for performance OR is there a preferable memory management tool you are using?
Lol! I was expecting quite a bit of chatter on this but nothing. :angel:
Maybe I should have put it in the Q & A section but I felt like not only did I point out a useful app being that Temp-Cpu app I linked to playstore but brought up an open discussion about said apps and in regards to the S4.

The s4 practically has a built in task manager so not many would even consider an extra app to accomplish the same task.

Agreed. That is what I use when on a TW ROM. On CM I just use the close all function in the recent apps window. Though RAM never seems to be as scarce on AOSP ROMs so I rarely clear apps.

I use Clean Master and Lagfix running stock rooted touchwiz and have no lag whatsoever. Most the time I have 40-50% free memory, and I'm not a fan of task killers but this works great. Lagfix is a free app in the play store. Its similar to fstrim on a computer and manufacturers are going to be including it in future releases.

Thanks for reminding me of Lagfix. Giving that a shot.
I've found that the "broom" feature in "Floating Toucher" --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boatmob.floating.touch&hl=en
works rather well in conjunction with what I mentioned earlier about "Free memory reported" by the App in the OP and performance.
Guys im just curious if you use Task killer for your ZU device?
its like none of u here discuss about using an application to kill running applications that can slow down our device
due to the shortage of RAM.
Thanks

Task killers actually mess up android, it's designed to cache as many programs as possible for fast app switching. Ive never had any problems with memory shortage on ZU ever.
The reason it's not discussed is because no one uses one.

I wasn't aware that the OS optimizes the apps. I've always used GO Task Manager EX and put a widget on my home screen to kill everything.

It is not optimizing the apps but rather optimizing the memory usage.
Guys, I just wanna ask few basic questions about the Clean Master Application which we can basically find in Google Play.
Is it safe to use ? I just wondering, because aside from the positive comments of its users, there are also negative feedback which specifically saying that it has a bad effect to phone's battery life. Some are saying that it will just drain your battery.
Thanks.
Sent from my SM-G900F S5 using Tapatalk Pro
Yeah it's safe to use as its not a virus or malware.
However android has a built in 'task killer' which frees up memory as it sees fit.
A lot of these clean up applications will kill an app which will relaunch straight away therefore causing more battery drain as the app is having to launch again immediately.
If you think your phone is too slow/the battery isn't good enough give it a shot for a few days and see if it is beneficial for you.

I find Clean Matter eats battery and is a little to aggressive with their advertising and permissions.
Try Power Clean, it's a deeper and easier on battery.

I personally hate that app since it ate a lot of battery drain, you dont need it since we already have a built in task killer just on left side of your home button lol
I got rid of it. Now I use CCleaner, which I suggest to use over Clean Master

Another Fun fact - MIUI Cleaner is also powered by clean master..
I personally believe that Clean Master is a fake app. I tried it and found that it eats up battery rigorously. If you want to see that just go to settings-> apps-> Running apps and you will see a lot of process from CM. It actually do nothing other than feeding your phone with junks and ads. If you are a rooted user, try the Purify by King root. I have tried it and found that it is really effective.

Anything by Cheetah Mobile is junk. Everyone knows that. The only thing Clean Master should be cleaning is all Cheetah Mobile apps including itself.
