Is there an app like a task manager or something similar that asks your permission before it runs? I use advanced task manager but there are always apps running after I run end task.

Has anyone else noticed that the XDA App for this forum uses CPU even after you exit the app? I installed OS Monitor and it shows XDA App periodically using 10 to 15 percent even though I had selected the EXIT option from the XDA App menu.
After I killed the XDA App with task killer, I was fine. I know task killers are a controversial subject, but this is why I use a task killer.

Exiting an app and closing it are two different things.
So how do you properly close the App?

Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>running tab>app you want to close>force close.
Ditch the task killer. It is probably hogging more battery than the apps you are worried about closing.
Android OS has a built in task killer. It will open and close apps when needed. Task killer apps are overrated and cause other issues.
With the nexus s having an inbuilt running applications manager. Is it necessary to install advanced task killer?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not really, despite running tons of programs in the background, the os hibernates the applications when not active to conserve power.
So I would say not necessary.

I don't believe to two are very relevant.
Well task killers are ok but i would go with something like fast reboot. Its acts like a task killer but instead of killing the app it signals it to restart or reboot so this way it stops correctly and frees up memory

I use no task killer app on my phone and it runs awesomely smooth at 600 mhz thanks to supercharger. What's more I only have 128 mb of ram.

Advanced Task Killer is bad because it is too aggressive and kills important background apps like the alarm service, etc. If you want a task manager download the new Astro file manager (it has a task killer built in) or ES Task Manager.
There is a very good tutorial on xda I don't have the thread handy but it explains why task killers are bad

Can't. You can however add schortcut to your homescreen (or edit swipe gestures in launcher settings) leading to settings - apps - running apps.
I wud suggest u 2 use "ram manager" app by juwe11 from market. Its THE BEST ram management app i found till now

I was just told by the AT&T guys that Advanced Task Killer is not good to be using on my phone, apparently it can "harm the device," and that the stock task manager (which I seems lacking imo) is better.
Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions on what kind of task managers to use? The default one doesn't seem to have an easy way to kill all unused applications with the press of a single button, let alone an easy way to get to it. Maybe I'm missing something... the SGSIII task manager has a kill all function which is very nice.

The Advanced task killer will kill some things that need to be running on your phone.I know on the Advanced Task Killer there was an "ignore" option, but I personally didn't think that worked well.. The Htc one X stock task manager has a "stop all" button at the top righthand side, middle button.

Oh wow, haha... I never saw that task manager in the app list... Even with this phone since launch. I'm just on stock.

Advanced Task Manager Arron La
i bought this back when i had my motorola backflip since it only updated to 2.1 and cm7 wasn't released yet, but once cm7 was released this app became pointless it became basically a front-end to the built-in task manager plus some extra info.
