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.

no need? so much in fact htc has gone out of the way to include one with the evo3d. Like samsung has since the galaxy s? I guess these huys are all wrong?
A task manager is not a bad thing. A task killer is.

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

That means the program would just open again.
So it doesn't kill it.

Hi guys, I bought Razr recently and notice that lot of applications are running in the background even when I have not opened those apps. I have installed advanced task killer pro but with no help.. When I kill those apps within 5 secs they start running again.. Apps like whats up, music pblood and glory, almost around 40 apps run in a background. can anybody suggest any way to kill them when dont use it.

Either freeze it using TB, or set them to auto-kill in the default task manager.

I cant use TB as my phone is not rooted as I did ota update. I have set them to auto kill thru default task manager but still every after 5 secs they start running again..

No choice. The only thing you can do is to freeze them. Those apps WILL auto-run. Cause they are built into your ROM. Without rooting your phone, there's nothing much you can do except set it to auto kill.
I used root explorer to change vzwlocationagent.apk to vzwlocationagent.bak and haven't had any problems with that program running again.
Then I guess I need to wait for the root as I have updated my phone... Thanks

I've got my Razr rooted but still have the stock rom running. I also noticed all those crapware apps running in the background.
I used the Task Manager app on the stock rom to auto-end all the non essential apps. Seems to have better battery life since. So that's one option if you're not rooted and not running a custom rom.

most crapware may show up but most likely not doing anything so the more u end task it, the more it reopens in which turn affects battery.

What is the best auto app killer Facebook always continues to run in the background using 10 to 40% CPU I need an application that will kill it as soon as my screen goes off

I actually stopped using auto app killers about 5 months ago after reading several articles on how the android operating system works. I would suggest maybe just using task manager to kill it when yer done with it?

That's a pain Especially since I'm not supposed to be on my phone at work and that's just one more thing I would have to do an more chance of getting caught

Advanced Task Killer seem to work well for me.
Im using WAZE as my main GPS software and my problem with it is when I want to multitask by going to TuneInRadio or Chrome,
after a few seconds Waze stops and I have to start waze again, instead of just going to the window I was in.
I was told Samsung kills softwares after you are not using them, but is there a way to disallow this? I want to define that nothing kills waze but me, when exiting.
Any ideas?
If your phone are not rooted, nothing much you can do other than disabled some bloatwares.

Looks like its exactly what I needed.
I was gonna wait for OTA JB, but now Im gonna upgrade to JB and flash this rom when I get the chance.
Thanks.
any Fc with the following mod given above???
I'm not too keen on that mod at all. Rom got noticeably slower using it. I just flashed Foxhound Rom Essentials (Stripped down JB Rom), flashed latest siyah kernel and left it there. Very smooth and apps don't tend to close. I can use Dolphin Browser with Co Pilot in the background and Poweramp running. Go SMS was also in memory as was Whatsapp.

I use Waze too and I don´t have this problem on ICS Stock Rom.. I can switch between app and Waze keep tracking in background.
For my experience Chrome consume a LOT of Ram but it the best browser I can´t switch to another..
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.

I did install the GO task manager initially but AFAIR, it was always present and no I am still on ICS. Pretty nifty it was though...

AFAIR you should have GO Launcher installed to use any GO widgets... Use any other task manager...

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.
