Here's a few resons why you shouldnt use it and why it makes very little difference.
It helps me when apps like music start to act crazy and play skipping tracks. I hit the app killer and it saves me. So while not useful for some, its useful for others.

i love this phone but after installing app killer, i noticed apps running that I never even opened.
Is there a way to keep apps from opening in there own?
Im sure its hell on the battery.
no it's not. apps being open doesn't matter, it's about your cpu that's what matters.

read this it will help since i stopped using a task killer i get less errors, and better battery life.
thanks
Oh that is great information.Now i dont have to keep going to task killer and stopping the programs.Saves me time.
Thanks again.
no prob 10/char
Kind of makes you wonder if the Task Killer is using more CPU cycles then the apps you are killing.

Same here, getting rid of task managers and just letting the phone "do its thing" has saved me battery and headache.
What slot of people think is that killing tasks saves battery. But if they just start up again it uses more cpu than when they are idle. What people should just do is root and get rid of bloatware I.e. sense and sprint stuff and start fresh like when u first get a comp. and do a clean install. But I can't root so yeah....
In all honesty what's killing battery.s is friend stream/facebook stuff. And some phones being set on gsm auto.

i was wondering what bloatware can i remove from the slide? i couldn't find a topic that was slide specific or that mentions what and how.
I highly doubt it can be removed without rooting the phone. I could be wrong, but I am almost certain that it cannot be removed unless the phone is rooted.

The only way to remove the bloatware is by rooting the phone, since it's built into the phone's software. Is the software causing you trouble? If so, get an automatic task killer and kill the processes. I hope that helps!
thanks for replying, sorry for coming back here late.

Call me crazy, but I think there's a few a2sd (apps to sd) apps in the app market. I think it should work on Android 2.1.

Does anyone know why Tele Nav keeps running? I checked my "Running Apps" and noticed it is always running. I have tried to stop the app from running but it restarts immediately.
Thanks for your help

TeleNav is a big pain and just does that. One of the reasons that I rooted my Evo was to ditch it. I used it all the time on my Touch Pro 2 but once I used Google Nav on Android I had no use for Telenav anymore.
A while back I read something that it does that, but the simple fix is to launch it and let it connect to internet to check/update it's self

Do you think its eating up your system resources and battery. If so get an app like Autostarts and kill it on boot up

i personally love telenav. much better than google nav. i dont know i just like it better. one thing that i am so confused about tho, its when you put an address in, it gives you different routes in different colors...could someone explain this to me? for the most part i always choose fastest, avoid tolls and hov.
My Pandora doesn't like to multitask on this phone. When I opened xda app, pandora autoclosed. Same thing with camera, and some other apps. My signal is great so whats going on? Lol

Xheck your RAM and check for settings in any task killer/launcher/apps you may be using including pandora if it has a option to close when RAM gets close to none available it will close out the biggest strain...
When did you get your ET4G TODAY?
also make sure you have the newest version of pandora ;p

Yep, I've got no task killer (other than the preinstalled one). Just got the phone today and I got the latest pandora. Maybe once I root it, it'llsolve the problem itself.

What's a good task manager that works well, I've tried a few but haven't found something I like yet. Anyone got advice.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
if your thinking of a task manager like a task killer dont use one, really a bad idea for android. if you must use something like watchdog so you dont blindly kill apps. even then when things are set up the way you like it and your sure all is well, i would suggest freezing watchdog as it sits in background itself and wastes cpu.
just do a little google search and youll see what im talking about
Ok, thanks. I'm still learning my way around this ROM and all its bells ans whistles. For some odd reason though I use up a lot of RAM. I have to go and kill apps manually.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Your definition of a lot may differ from mine, this Rom has a supercharger script built in, this along with androids ability to choose what apps to kill is the best way to go. You may have some bad apps that have memory leaks or wake locks. Use watchdog to spy on those and remove them if necessary
