With Android, you don't need to kill tasks. If it's not using CPU, then its not using battery. Task killer apps do more harm than good.
Read up more about this here: http://lifehacker.com/#!5650894/and...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them

You can't stop these apps from opening. The OS does this when it feels like it. The best to do is buy system panel, enable monitoring, and prove to yourself that those apps are using zero CPU by checking the CPU list.

[Q] Watchdog App Vs. Taskillers

I wanted to see what everyone's opinion was on taskillers Vs. Watchdog.
I've been reading that taskillers are obsolete with froyo and GB.
But Devs still add taskiller's in there ROM's.

task killers are of no use in STOCK gingerbread and froyo but do come in pretty handy in roms because they save u alot of space for apps and whatever else u use on your phone. I also am a fan of watchdog so try them out and see which one u like personally for me its watchdog. Hoped i helped

Hi Evilstewie, I notice that the blacklist kill on Watchdog only triggers when the phone is awake, is that the way it's supposed to work?
I set the threshold CPU for the stock browser at 0%, so I was expecting it to be killed even when screen is off, and the browser is idling, but it seems like it's only killed when the screen is on

task killers aren't exactly necessary and just kill battery

The thing is even when sent to the background, I notice apps like the stock browser, quickpic, and opera mobile still continue using CPU. So I need these apps to be killed automatically when they exceed 0% threshold

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

I tried this for many time,bro. The background processes still run after destroyed in a few minute.

"hi bro"
Android use real-multitasking, you dont need to force-close process or apps, if your phone is slowness,you will get a better ram manager, close some process or app can be causes of unstability or slowness and excessive battery drain, 512 mb are enough for anything but if you want try this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 < Superchanger
of course you need that your device is root and have busybox correctly installed
-salvatore

try use :::
fast report app and ram manger pro app
i use it and very nice app

HELP! Applications keep opening. Killing battery

I have advance task killer and I close apps frequently through out the day. For some strange reason there are 30+ apps running when I'm only using 10 of at the most or a little more. How can I keep them from opening after they have been terminated???
My S3 is starting to move slow and I don't like it One bit!!!

One of the cardinal rules of Android is to never use a task killer......
As you have found out, the apps just open again anyway & all that open/closing will absolutely kill your battery life.

Don't use a task killer, especially on Froyo and above.

Task killers are totally counter-productive in Android.
Android does a great job of memory management all by itself, just let it do its thing & don't worry about it.

Never use ATK. Wastes more battery then the apps themselves.

As everyone else has said, using a task killer makes things worse, not better.

What everyone has said about not using task killer plus, exit apps using the back button and not home if you want to close them. That way they will exit rather than stay in memory. Also, if you really want to dump everything out of memory then hold in home>task manager>end all.
And it's moving slowly since the task killer kills the app so the app relanches itself. Killed, relaunch, killed relaunch, killed relanch. Now multiply that by 10 or 20 or 30 apps and it's a wonder your CPUand RAM haven't melted yet.

There's a stock option in 'settings-developer settings' to limit background processes. Also to kill any app you leave right away.

I have an app called Eva which is a voice assistant. I believe ics is sometimes closing the app when its in the background, because the widget for the app is not responsive and has no text sometimes and works fine other times. I don't know of anyway in ics to set an exception in the task management to never close this app or its background process. Any way to get around this without a 3rd party task killer? Or is there any way to see a log of what ics is killing in the background to confirm my suspicion?

It's probably the apps problem I'd contact their user support.
