whats the problem? android has its own internal task killer so if ram is needed for running apps its will kill off background apps, there are loads of reasons why apps start auto, did you know google pays developers if there apps collect info about how you use your phone and give it them lol
But I notice they never close and the phone slows down !!!!!

Look for "Startup Cleaner Pro" in the market.
It will enable you to disable a programs from start up.
But some programs start on later on when the device has been used a while automatically anyway.

Hi all
I would like to ask if its normal that th mobile increase the memory of the busy program memory and not having any program running. The phone starts with 31% of program memory busy, but ultimately go up to 50% and is increasing.
Thanks for help
yes it's normal. First of all you have the active programs you can close in the taks manager. Second, Touch Flow 3d keeps some programs like opera running without you being able to shut it down. This is done for the push pages for exampel. It's the same for the agenda and media player. For fast acces those are kept in the memmory.

Tnks...just i dont hv any progrm runing in th task manager:S...
That's correct. HTC caused some programs not to appear in the task manager. If you install a future custom rom without manilla, you probably won't have this problem. Your memmory should never be above the 80% when everything you CAN close is closed.

Ok, thank u one more time!
hi there..as a ex WM user Im very happy with android ...Im using advanced task killer to relieve memory..I just figure out,if I will kill all running aplication,especially clock,alarm stop working ...must be a clock aplication necessary running to make alarm working?
thanx
Be careful with task killers it may bring more trouble to your phone... Remember its not wm anymore, its android and it will automatically kill apps if another needs resources.
If i were you, i would if it is really necessary for you to kill apps, do them one by one not all

yeah..ill..i hope,then android memory management will take care about it..thanx
Some Task Killers have an Ignire option. Add your clock/alarms to this and they will not be killed and will still work.
just un install it, .. you dont need it, everything will be fine with you if you did
Hi
This might be a stupid question, but anyways:
I bought me a HTC Desire yesterday and im very happy with it.
Now i installed the Advanced Task Killer as i heard its a good app.
Now, every time i open something, like the SNESoid Player, or even my SMS(Messages), and the close it by pressing the Home or back button, i see afterwards in the Task Killer that its still running!?
So, how do i "close" an application, or is this just normal? It's pretty weird to me.
Thanks
This is one of the most asked and answered questions. Search and you shall find.
You probably used a WM device before Android I can imagine. Android OS handles all that stuff automatically, you shouldn't worry about apps not closing because when an app isn't used it isn't using either memory or CPU. When a new application opens and needs memory, the one(s) still running will close and give space for the new one.
As "ArtieQ" said it's not recommended to use a task killer.
But if you really need to stop a program you can use your native task manager, from "settings">applications>manage applications - then when the list of applications loads, you can press menu button and choose "filter" and then "running". Now when you choose an application from the list, it will show you information for it and an option to "force stop" it, that is to close it.
Thanks alot!
Well, i used a crappy iPhone 3G before..no multitasking you know
I was looking for an answer to this question and find something here but I am still a little bit confused : many applications that I have tested dont close if I press the home or the back button and they don't have any "quit" or "exit" command or menu entry. I was facing some battery issues with all these apps in the background. It's true that uninstalling some of them and force closing others in the app manager solved the issue but it is really not confortable to go in the app manager every time after using the phone to close the apps and save battery. I am wondering if an auto-close application exist in the market...
Advanced task manager has an autokill function within It's settings. It also has a desktop widget that you can press to kill apps when you want. You will probably want to add some of your apps to the ignore list though so notifications etc still work ok

I remember that installed somthing like advanced task manager and it ended up by eating my battery charge cause it was running all the time. I'll test this and report back.
Thanks for the tip
Instead of using a task manager/killer consider using 'autostarts' which is an app (paid) which allows you to stop apps starting automatically.
For example, maps gets started when you do almost anything and once started really eats your battery.
I've been using autostarts for a while now and would definitely recommended it for battery saving.
thanks for this tip iain2510
Hey guys whats up?
i have many apps on my phone that never seem to stop. i kill them all but they come back again. its killing the ram on my defy.
any solution?
thanks
What you need is the autostarts app. Get it from market.

Don't bother. Android will kill them if you ever need memory
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
it's fine. That's how android works. it keeps app in memory and kill them when needed.
so dont worry
so its better not to install apps like Advance Task killer or autostarts apps?
Is it ok to leave it on and let android decide when to kill it? Because if I leave them on, they eat by RAM & battery very fast.
Also leaving it on makes the phone laggy...
Pls guide...

If u have many apps running, then kill the apps ...some apps don't restart...it helps reduce the lagging....if there are only few apps running then don't bother...if u use task killers excessively then ur battery will surely get drained

Normally you shouldn't have to use an application such as "Advanced Task Killer". Android is unix based so it should handle pretty good with apps that are "not doing anything but running in the background".
What you can do is try to exit some apps properly (not just pressing the back button) by going to the menu and actually clicking on the "Quit" if it's available.

Hi Guys,
I've noticed that when i "remove" (flick upwards) an app from Recent Apps, it does not really kills/closes that app. I know i can go to Task Manager and kill that app. My question is that is there any way (settings) that enables "Kill" of the app when i remove it (using upward flick) from the Recent Apps.
I tried looking up for this but was not successful hence a new thread (i was somewhat sure someone must have ask for it already).
Thanks

I dont believe that there is a setting where you can change that. If you want to kill an individual app, use the task manager but in general, there is really no need to be killing all of your apps - the Android OS is designed to have apps sitting there not closed (and the HOX has 1gig of RAM so your shouldnt see any slow down anyway!).
Some custom ROMS for other devices do have a setting where you can set longpress backbutton to kill the app that you are in. Havent seen this in any One X roms yet but im sure it will come
It has been written many times before but can't be said enough, task killers isnt helping the system at all! Android OS itself controls the ram memory and closes the apps that isnt used in case of running out of memory

App killers are phone killers!!1
Even if you force close the app, it may reopen immediately. some apps do this on their own. you dont need to worry about it.
the phone will prioritise the currently running app over cached or paused apps when it needs to. this is an autonomous feature (you don't have any control over it)
I stopped using App Killers and found performance/battery-life/usability to be exactly the same.
remember, Android has your back.

Yeah but those apps are open and fill up almost whole 1GB RAM and when somone wants play game it is laggy cos not enough ram ..
Even when am broqsing internet is so laggy ..
But when u not doing with mobile it doesnt drain battery cos cpu is idle 99%

well you will see slow down because it's an HTC One X..somehow HTC have managed to reduce the performance of a quad core processor to something that resembles a dual core device...juttering and slowing down..hogging all the RAM and re-drawing the launcher constantly
well done HTC. This the last time you're getting my money.

True, however, the priorization is all wrong. When I send my browser to the background just to open an email for an address, most of the times the browser gets closed.
So, when I revert to the browser it has to start all over.
When I look in taskmanager, I see many programs that should be closed before closing the browser, because the browser was the lastest used application.
I would love to have more control over the dumb task closer of the HOX! For instance:
- really close applications that have been in the background for at least a certain amount of time (so games can have more memory without stutter!)
- close applications in reverse order of latest used instead of used most memory
- try to leave at least a certain amount of memory free (and let ME choose this amount)
So, when many tell that task killers are not needed they are only right for non-HOX devices. In other words, the HOX task killer that works automagically has serious issues preventing us to multi-task!

linux caches stuff in memory to make it quicker when you do want it. unused ram is wasted ram. it is not like windows.
