And maybe some don't think it does well enough. How many "task killers" are available in the Market ? Hate to think all the developers wasted their time creating them...The os is designed handle memory on its on.
Every person who asks this question gets this lecturehe was asking which was best not wheter he needs one...
Ok thanks. But still no one has told me why my task killer shows 45 mb memory free while the phone shows 74 mb free. Question for ofthedamned, can you check out my postings on optimize battery life. My post are on the last page no one has been able to help me. Thanks
Oh. Well if I hit menu>settings>sd and memory it shows 74 mb of internal memory.
i dont want to start a debate about it because this has been discussed a LOT
i still don't understand what ppl say when they say the eris actually manages it memory due to android doing this because it seems like without the task killer its horrible
but its just my opinion.
Personally, I use to use ATK but now I use task cleaner pro
Can you explain why please ?I'm in full agreement with those who feel that automatic task-killing apps are not only unnecessary, but a bad idea
Can you explain why please ?
Well, this has kind of been beaten to death here already, but here's the short version of what I think.
The Android OS is basically designed to handle task management by itself, terminating tasks on its own as needed ... and I think it does a fairly good job of that. If your device is running slowly, the odds are that the real problem isn't the way that Android is handling task management -- it's just the fact that you have too many apps installed, or that you're running an app or two that's a memory hog. Take care of those problems, and you shouldn't need a task manager.
And remember that in most cases, the tasks that were left running were running for a reason -- so people who use a task manager aggressively run the risk of hindering performance by forcing tasks to repeatedly restart. Get too carried away, and you could also screw up things like notifications and stuff.
I know that some people claim that task managers improve their phones performance, but if they haven't overloaded their phone with memory-hog apps, I'm convinced that the vast majority of the time it's a placebo effect at work. People just like to feel that they're in control.
And that, as they say, is what I have to say about that.![]()
