Advanced Task Killer

[AnthonyC93]

So I have the Advanced Task Killer, and yes it is useful, But how much of a difference does it make. In other words, is it worth the effort of killing tasks' every so often? Who ever has researched information on this App, that would be useful. Does anyone know the difference in battery time of a single full battery charge while with or without using the Advanced Task Killer. Thankyou.

Just say NO to task killers!

Then what do you suggest lol

Uninstall it. Today. Now. This is Android, not Windoze. When you use a task killer, it kills tasks which in itself drains your battery. Then, the apps reload into system memory, which drains your battery. The apps aren't 'running' at all, they're simply loaded into memory, waiting for you to use them. If you don't use them, they don't drain your battery.

Research em yourself,

I am sure you'll come to the same conclusion.

ATK is a waste of space, & battery.

Task killers are NOT needed in Android, and they make your battery life worse as they disrupt the way Android works. Read this post for more info:

Agreed. Want proof? Just look at whats been using your battery under about phone, or open your stock task manager. Youll see the apps arent just sitting there eating battery, or even sitting open
