Which is the best Task manger? Should be good enough not to drain the battery in short time.
Thanks.

From what I read you dont need to use them I myself have never, just make sure you kill any games you play (if you do) they eat battery.
Task killers are bad because Android is designed to kill them when it needs to. The thing that drains the battery the most is apps running in the background, the screen brightness and if you CPU is being maxed out constantly.

No killing as multitasking is excellent on android; just make sure you press home instead of simply switching the screen off, apparently it leaves an application in the foreground.
The so called task killers are the stupidest apps evar made.

Yeah, don't bother.
Best way to save battery is to use a static wallpaper (not live wallpaper), turn off notifications for apps such as Facebook, Twitter etc. and only use WiFi/mobile network when you actually need it.

You don't have to disable internet connection when not needed as most of the kernels can easily get you in ~30hrs range with some tweaks regardless of it.

Because Android is designed to kill the apps!
Search the market and try them yourselfe.
We all don't use TaskKillers!

Thanks for this very complete answer
I know, I am a bit irritated, but I have a question : Why did the InsertCoin v14 rom have a Task Manager ?, (it comes from HTC Sense 3.0)

Wondering how some people set up the auto killer. I want my phone to kill all un necessary running apps when my phone is sleeping.
I guess what I want to do is have the least amount of programs running when my phone is sleeping
Honestly how Android handles its processes there is no need for a third party manager.

I rarely kill any processes unless things get out of hand or don't close properly. I can leave my phone with the screen of for +30 minutes sometimes and not even lose 1% of battery.
I've tried using and not using a task killer and can say i havn't seen much a difference, probably an edge to NOT using since its one more thing to worry about.
Does the Nitro HD need a task manager or task killer like ATK?
I absolutely love my device and have no complaints on battery life, but I'll admit, there is a little lag at times.
Generally, I wouldn't use one mainly because I've never needed one on SGS2 devices or others. Because of the absence of the issue or a native install.
And I definitely don't want to annihilate the battery. I'm happy with a good 12-16hr day on it.
Easy to solve? Suggestions?
Please reply.

I'll tell you right now if your managing 12-16hr day on it if you use my rom you should get 15-20hrs a day and don't use task killers they mess up the device and make it die faster.
The only time I use a task killer is after I've used my camera. It supposedly helps keep the camera from continuing to draw power in the background. I'm not sure if it's true, but I don't want to find out the hard way...

For the stock email app you can use smart sync, or control when mail is set to push, or refresh on open.
Can't help you with what's app, don't use that.

lol , read the post u did not understand
that feature to disable Internet was in aokp.. u cld have disabled it within a certain amount of time.. don't know about cm10.. probably using an 3rd party app will cause battery drain coz it will run in background and suck ur juice

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

Press the track ball in the recent apps to kill all apps in a safe and effective way.
How can we see how long the screen has been on on the one x after the jellybean update? Its gone from the battery stats section....
Try gsam battery monitor from Google play.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks, will check that out! But no way to do this on stock software?
Yep, that shows what I wanted...but I'd rather not have to use an app to get this detail if at all possible...I assume the app adds to my already painful battery drain.... But as far as a battery monitor, that app looks good although I prefer the style and finish of battery widget reborn which sits in the notification bar and looks very "stock" if you have JB...anyway, I digress
u can set it on tools
you can also use 'better battery stats' to check screen on time, just select 'since boot' and browse to the 'other' section.

What do you mean I can set it on in tools? Are you saying there is a way to check my screen time without needing a 3rd party app? How? I have no idea why they removed this from the battery stat, it is a useful measure to see how Much use you get out of the phone on a single charge...
