flashed to JM1.
my sgs is maxis set. the JM1 is european firmware. so far everything ok. but 1st boot up lag a bit, after that ok.
previously from JG5. no lag at all.
New apps will appear when flashed. called Task Manager. can kill apps, see available ram, storage & uninstall apps directly from there.
There a new samsung widget also, connected with the Task Manager. it shows how many apps active.
Previously im not using atk. my assumption of the closing apps & maintain sufficient ram when im on JG5 was pressing back button until the app closed.
So when im in JM1 i checked whether my method was correct or not... & im right. The task manager does not show any single apps when im quiting the apps using the back button instead of the home button.

Few screenshots:

Is it meaning that we can still use it but just kill BIG apps like camera or games? If want kill that, is it needed to checkbox whatever we want to kill? I downloaded the application but not sure how it works, the default setting is checkbox all.

How ah?

If don't know how to use then don't use. Task Killer is not recommended, system will handle itself.

It depends on how the developer code the app, so apps exit on back button some not.

he's right. i examined it myself. dont use task killer

Latest version
http://netload.in/dateiMKaI2Ib1uo/Kies_1.5...0071_32.exe.htm

From http://www.samsung-firmware.com/

ok, then is there any other way can we do to close the apps? bcoz i think it will drain more battery if just leave it there....my battery just half day....

btw, i'm using jg4, yet to root it. so, after root, will the battery performance last longer?

Dear All,

After playing with my new toy for 2 days, I can said that I love this SGS
more and more each day.

Can someone help to answer the below;

1) I managed to create email (exchange outook). is there a way to remove the above tab(inbox, folder, draft, outbook, send, trash etc..) as I only need to have inbox and send.

2) I try to download Samsung PC Studio and Samsung PC suit but both did not work (not able to connect). Do anyone have link for me to download both apps (maybe I download non android apps)?

Cheers,

Danny

noted. Just removed Advance Task Killer. So is there any way that we can close the application (application that is still running even we press back button)?

Another thing, I think there is an application that can shows how many application that's running on the main page. The promoter showed me before I bought it but I forgot what application was that.

Anyone knows it?

flash to new sgs unofficial firmware I9000XWJM1. u will get the Samsung ver task killer. better than other task killer.

You must first know that android is a linux based OS, and linux handles memory different from Windows.

This is how android was design, when you close an app, an app is put to SLEEP mode. It won't consume any processing power or battery BUT RAM.

It is put to sleep for easy multitasking when user want to use back the app.

Let say user wants to use an app that requires ALOT of RAM but the RAM available is not enough, the system will auto clear those SLEEPING apps that is no longer in use.

So basically you don't have to do anything.

i'm using task killer in my sgs for few days d.. dint see anything unusual

notice the memory available is only ~100mb after all the apps being killed.. is it normal?

I have many noob questions about firmware and what JG5? I don't understand these "language" lol! Mind to explain bro?

1) What is JG5?
2) Any effect to the phone if I "flash" to new firmware?
3) What is root? Something like "jailbreak" for iphone? Any advantage for doing so?

I always see you guys talk about these but I don't even understand...

yup he's correct again. furthermore, the system will only kill apps based on priority rating. eg. it will kill less frequently used apps 1st & than your other main apps.

1. short name of firmware
2. better than usual
3. yes.please read the 1st post

Try not to use it for few days, see got any difference.

Well maybe you can't feel it for SGS since its very fast, if you use slow device like Hero you'll know why don't use task killer.

i will b joining the SGS league soon!
will get it dis weekend

Ok, will try to flash it to new firmware....JM1.....

nvm, before this i doesnt understand anything at all. after frequent reading online..

1) it is the 1 of the lates unofficial firmware for galaxy s available for you to download.
2) no, IF you do it correctly.
3) yup something like jailbreak. root give u access to system file to android os. in lay-man words, if can control some1's brains u can make him do anything.

Guys and gals, the latest European firmware (probably not Samsung official, plus no Asian input support) I9000XWJM1 has a superb Task Manager.



Update - Sorry, resized the screenshots. Initially uploaded using Photobucket app for Android.

Can understand tat, previously using Omnia, though is different....

But my battery really sucks...sigh....if background apps not contribute to battery draining, why battery drain so fast....sigh....
