View 5 RepliesI want a task killer that automatically kills processes when they load. Some apps like HTC sense and the built in messanger app I would love having them killed instantly, is there one that i can get? Before you say, yes the Eris DOES need a task killer. Asked any eris user, once it gets below 30 MB of ram, it slows down to a near halt. They majority of thos for me is processes that load without me telling them too, and ons that I never use, such as htc sense or the default messager apps. I'm rooted btw.

And if i turn therm off using this app, they will just turn back on of i press the program again? Is there any recommended memory setting that we should run at? So if start a game like black jack, if I go to task killer, uncheck it, it will load normally next time I play?
View 13 Replies View RelatedFirst let me explain how I use Advanced Task Killer (ATK). I use all the default settings with the exception that Auto Start is off. What I do is, every now and then, I open ATK and kill every app that shows up on the list, including ATK itself.
I've had my Incredible for about a month; I've been doing the exact same thing for about that long as well. However, recently (maybe a week or two, I am not sure), once out of every handful of times when I ask ATK to kill all appls, ATK kills them, but the white background with green "htc" logo shows up for a second or two. (It looks kind of like when the phone first boots up.) Then it goes to my home screen, but it looks dim and fuzzy, like when you turn off your phone where a rectangle pops up in the middle of the screen saying the phone is shutting down while your home screen is dim and fuzzy. Instead of saying the phone is shutting down, however, the rectangle box in the middle says "Loading..." I do not know what it is loading.
My impression is that when I ask ATK to kill all the apps on the list, it somehow kills some "important" ones so then my phone immediately reopens those apps hence the "Loading..." screen. What is puzzling, however, is that it just started doing this recently. I do not think I have made any major changes to my phone in the last few weeks.
I have tried to pay attention to the apps that ATK kills before I kill them; I have not been able to spot any pattern.
Does anyone have the same experience? Or does anyone know what is happening here? As far as I can tell, my phone runs fine, but it is a little bit disconcerting when that "Loading..." screen shows up every now and again.
Sorry for yet another task killer thread, but I can't find an answer to this one. I understand from several of you that task killers are not needed because of the way the Android system operates. I have tried and tried all of the suggestions given on how to manage apps manually, but my Inc is just plain faster when I close all running apps.My question is this, is running a task killer harmful in any way?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering if anyone had the same issue as I do, with about 44% of my battery use coming from the notorious call standby.
I heard some speculation that this is akin to the issue with the Eris 2.1, so it would be solved by the Airplane Mode trick, but I have not found any results favoring that remedy.
I just installed AppBrain Market yesterday. I have done one phone power off since then. I was just looking in at apps in my System Panel app and noticed that the AppBrain market is listed as cached but is still hitting the cpu like every couple seconds. Anyone else noticed this behavior? Is this normal? I'm going to try manually killing the app.

View 4 Replies View RelatedShould be installed and used in the Incredible. In fact the store Mgr said they download it to every Inc they sell in the store before the customer leaves with it. Now I have heard many pros and cons about this app. mostly cons.

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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHave you any tips/advice? Music is the main thing I use a phone for but so far the Desire seems very lacking.We'll start of with actually putting music on the phone, as an ex iPhone owner iTunes was a breeze, organise the music the way you want then just sync, simples, With the Desire however its just not that simple, you create a folder called music and just copy all over, simple in itself, the issue however is there is no organisation, everything is through each other, just thrown on there so finding anything is a nightmare.Then there is Podcasts, On my Nokia X6 I go to podcasts, download what I want and like most phones the podcast goes into a podcast folder in the music player, nice and simple, not so on the HTC Desire, you have to get a podcast app, then you have to start entering long xml addresses and its just a major pain, again I'm sure i'm missing something.

I have used ATK and Android task killer. Not impressed with either. In fact the later made my phone freeze and blacked out my screen frequently until uninstalled.
Where is the task killer located that is Pre-installed on the EVO?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded atk a couple days ago and everything worked great! Last night my phone died. When I charged it and turned it back on this morning I went into task killer to clear out all the apps that turn on automatically and then I hit home. Whenever I did this before, it took me back to the home page, no problem. Now I get a black page with HTC on it and then it resets the home page and I lose my weather. Eventually, it comes back, but why all the sudden am I getting the black HTC screen?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI turned task killer off last night and set it to not load on boot, then rebooted my phone. It had been up for 167 hours and awake for over 100 of those. Promptly after rebooting it was put in a drawer for nine hours overnight.
I get up this morning and what do I find for battery usage?
Up time: 9.5 hours
Awake time: 9 hours
Should I use a app killer or not? I see that they seem to be common and highly rated but I've also read posts on other forums saying that they shouldn't be used and Android should be allowed to manage the apps.
Also, I've installed Advanced Task Killer and while it seems to work well, some apps like Moxier Mail open back up with in seconds of being killed.Lastly,last night I used Advanced Task Killer to close all apps, turned the phone off and put it on the charger.This morning I turned on the phone, pulled down the notification bar and saw about 15 programs waiting to be killed.Can anybody give a noob an explanation on how Android handles apps,if I should use a app killer and lastly, explain how apps can open on their own.
i downloaded taskiller and when I kill all running programs it resets my scenes and my phone resets.anyone know a better task killer app? Also programs show up that I never opened. Can anyone help?
