Android :: Which Applications To Exclude In Advanced Task Manager?
Nov 19, 2009
First post, just registered, thought it'd be a great idea since I have the Droid. Have had the Advanced Task Manager and I love it, but it seems as though when I end all tasks(which I usually do to save time from individually picking which ones should be ended), it might mess with my network/system processes. I recently did a factory reset because my GPS wasn't tracking my location well. I tried to just power off the phone and see if my GPS could locate me, but it couldn't. When I first got the phone the GPS would pick me up and track me if I was moving just like that. I was afraid the task manager could have messed something up with my network processes. Any ideas?

I have been using Advanced Task Manager and its been working perfect. I did notice that after I ended the apps later on they would show up again on the list. Some of the the apps that start again have not been run by me in days but just show up on the Tasks List. Why would an app come on if I did not run it?

I've got almost everything streamlined for DE03 but I keep seeing two Apps that always reload in Advanced Task Manager:
com.samsung.internal, and
System Updates
First question, since I'm not using Sprint's version of software, do I *need* either of these?
And, if *not*...what are the names of the files, so I can rip 'em out?

With Advanced Task Killer, which apps should I exclude to avoid poor app performance. For example, I realized after reading another thread today that I should exclude the Weather Channel widget. I could not figure out why the weather conditions did not update automatically. Excluded the widget and now it updates. Any other apps that are similar?

I've been using Task Panel X and Advanced Task manager to kill unneeded tasks and keep memory at a maximum.
Recently, every time I open Task Panel X and then revert back to Home screen I get the HTC logo and then a loading screen while the device sets itself. This happens even if I kill NO tasks.
So my solution was to uninstall Task Panel X and then use just Advanced Task Manager. All the sudden, same result.
Everytime I open either of these apps and then go back to home screen I get a BLACK SCREEN WITH HTC LOGO, THEN A BRIEF (10 SECONDS) LOADING SCREEN. THEN ALL IS NORMAL.

Do you need to put SetCPU on the exclude list? I suppose you would in order to run profiles. Otherwise what would happen, it would stay at whatever speed it was running if it was killed? Or would it default?

No matter what task manager you're using, I'm curious as to what programs are in your exclude lists. I've added programs that I noticed continuously popping up (I guess the phone wants them?) as well as some of the widgets I have running. Here's my list: Code...

Anyway, I just wanted for everyone to post their favorite Task Manager/Killer, and why, and if there are any flaws. I personally use Advanced Task Killer Free. It has a simple UI, and the when you select or unselect apps it remebers it so next time you launch the app you can only remove the apps that you usually do, and keep ones that always run. It doesn't slow down or break the system.

Do you know if ATK uses much cpu/memory and battery when running in background, when using the autokill-feature when going to standby because it than needs to refresh the running app-list always.

If you use the "End All Background Tasks" button (the widget for this app I believe), it ends the weather functionality on the standard clock/weather widget. The weather does not appear to restart without trashing the clock widget and then replacing it. That basically renders the Kill All Background tasks functionality useless does it not? I'm wondering if it's like this for all background task killing apps as well.

Is there any real reason that I should have the full .99 version of advanced task manager as opposed to the free version?

I set my screen to use HOME versus Sense UI. Well, I put the ATM widget on my screen for single click app ends...when I do this, though, it kills home.
Anyway I can exclude Home from this. It doesn't appear to be an option in my Apps list when i open Advanced Task Manager
I have YET to receive a single email from androidforums.com when I use "Instant Email Notification" for thread replies.

Can someone explain the diiference in these two apps. It looks to me that the App Killer is included in the Advanced Task Cleaner.

I am a new android user. I am a new smart phone user. I used to just use a cell phone for calls and texts. Where do I start? What applications do I absolutely need? There are a few applications that are already on the phone that I'll never use (like twitter). I can't seem to get rid of them (do I need to?) What does the kill applications task manager do?

Has anyone used both. Ive heard that that Advanced Task Killer, still drains the battery. What about the Automatic Task Killer, which puts everything to sleep when not in use.

I see a lot of people recommending the Advanced Task Killer app and I was wondering what benefits there are to be had from installing it? The only widget I have running is the Calendar and all I have on my "home" screen is HTC People, Messages, Gmail, Market, Internet and email. Is this really necessary in my case?

Not sure how to use it. When I tick a selected app such as broswer does that mean I'm saving battery or osmthing? The more you tick the more battery you save? Or is it the opposite?

How often do you run Advanced Task Killer when you use your phone? And why don't they just make android where you can just exit an application and not need to run ATK?

I know this was talked about before at different times but I still have 3 questions.
1. what is the difference between a task killer and a task manager?
2. should we be using one of these apps or not?
3. when you look at the awake time if it is like 70% or 80% and you aren't using the phone a bunch I take it that means something is running,how can you find what is running.and is the awake time that big of deal?

Looking for a guide on how to use task killer. I had task killer on and deleted it. I think I was killing tasks that were needed to keep certain functions running that I use frequently. If someone would take the time to help me understand how to use one, I think I would be much more successful with it.
example - text messaging just stopped ( werrent receiving them ) . Once I took task killer off, everything started working again.

I downloaded Advanced Task Manager and read this article and it didn't really explain how to use the auto-kill function. Of the five tabs, I can't figure out how to take advantage of it. I've been using ATK, but I'd rather stick to just one app. Which one has worked better for you? And how do I take advantage of ATM's auto-kill?

I just FR my Incredible to try to improve the battery life, and the battery widget I used to have by HTC Corporation is no longer in the Market! Does anyone else have suggestions for the best widget they've found? I liked the HTC widget because you could see more details when you clicked the icon as well as the relatively small icon size. Also, is it really better to not install Advanced Task Killer??

I just want to know how detect that the activity or service has been killed by the advanced task killer? I was expecting the onDestroy method to be called, but it doesnt!
My app starts the background service on boot. The activity is not started except from menu. But its name appears in the advanced task killer list. When I try to kill it, it doesnt call the onDestroy method neither the service's.
