So far this apps help much.. By killing unused apps.. It help u reduce the usage of memory.. So that ur phone lagness will less.. And at the same time can save the battery life..

bad bad and bad

use it wisely.. this is android we are talking about.. the built in task manager would eventually leave apps running for quite some time and it would be a drainer.. kill tasks with ATK when ur done before putting it in ur pocket or driving would potentially save up some juice.. u dont really wanna see some apps like angry birds (which has a good multitasking support for android) running in the background for hours when the phone is idle

quite useful. some apps they will open in background n unnoticeable..avoid lagging n save juice

Actually, on Android you don't really need a task manager. The built in application manager is very dynamic and using task killer, you will tend to force kill applications which are already scheduled by the in-built memory manager. This way, it will have to reindex applications and rebuild the memory table (so to speak) and this is a waste of resources.

i'm using it quiet often..
really help save the battery power.

care to explain why some apps such msging cant be kill?also some apps not really quit after exit that apps..thx

well, if ur phone only have 128mb ram like mine, u'll need it.
if not, ur phone'll crawl like turtle with 20+ mb left..

So the conclusion is??.. But after reading those article from the web also got their point and now making me hardly use my task killer..

some reading on this topic...

I find it convenient to make my phone run faster...

Ok, from reading those links, i get the picture that task killers are not really essential.

Task managers are not just to kill apps, you can set it to manual and kill apps only when you have to with it. I mainly use it to make sure the apps I need to be up 24-7 stays active in the background without getting killed should memory run low. It also helps manage apps like making my music player the default one for remote activation rather than the built in one. Forget killing apps, there are other useful functions of a task manager

i dint use ATK but i restart my phone once everyday ...

maybe you can read this about how android uses RAM and how it runs tasks. supposedly froyo handles it well enough that you can forgo task killer apps.

not really need it

Very useful for me.

I've set the ATK auto-kill to "crazy" mode as well as once the display turn-off.

So far save my battery life as well as memory remains 50% above most of time and no logs.
