Do not use advanced task killer. Android does a very good job of managing everything. There are many things that run in the background or stay as a cache on your ram. That is what you are seeing. Do not end these tasks because it actually uses more battery to reload then into RAM. Unless you have a rogue app draining your battery do not fret over it.

If you're rooted you can use an app called Autostarts to prevent apps from running after boot.

I was just wondering what this might be. My battery is at 64% with only 48 minutes screen time on. All my apps were closed most the day. Is there a fix to this without root? Any suggestions that might help. Thanks

Hold down home button / task magager/ clear all app
Task manager / ram / clear memory.
Application manager / force stop all the app you not use
Oh okay. I guess the only thing i wasn't doing was clearing the ram. Hopefully that'll do the trick. Thanks

When I look at my battery Stats and it shows "Android System" what exactly does that mean? I am on CM10 running King Kang Kernel OC. Auto brightness. Just looking for an interpretation.

When I click on it it shows a generic list of things I hardly use...

Those are apps that usually run in the background. Do you use settings a lot? They are included in the "Android System" part of the battery stats.

Oh. Android System consists of a lot of stuff that usually runs in the background so try using GSAM to see what's taking your battery life.
Personally I like "Easy Task Killer Advanced"
Hold back to kill

You really don't need to use a task killer after froyo. If your running jellybean, or ICS, just swipe the app off the built in task manager, that works better then any third party app.

Not using any task killer, 1.6GB usable RAM is more than enough for me

Some people like to have the auto kill take control.

Some people are dumb.
Beyond froyo, android will kill apps as resources are needed. Auto task killers use more battery by making you constantly restart apps.

The good old stock touchwiz task killer.

The only app worth force closing is Facebook.
My girlfriend has an s3 and it drives me up a wall every time I see her swipe away all her apps. I'm like wtf are you doing?! You have 2gb of ram! That's more than my netbook!

Amen to that :good:
I let Android handle it on its own, unless it's a seldomly used app that I've only temporarily used.. I'll close those when I'm done. Task killers aren't worth it.
I see tons of people recommending against task killers, which is fine. That's no reason, however, to allow hundreds of apps to start up on their own (e.g., at boot, when Internet access is active, etc.). ROM Toolbox Lite has many useful apps, one of which is an auto-start manager. I'm sure there are others.
Autostarts is very useful for preventing apps from starting. Before ICS, I relied on Advanced Task Killer. Now I just use Autostarts and the stock task manager to manage running tasks.

Android OS is the best task killer

There seems to be a lot of votes for the stock task killer lol.

If it's using ram, it's using battery. I repeat, Hold back to kill.

Sorry for the dumb question I looked for hold back to kill did not see it ib the play store?

Since I freeze apps like Facebook when I'm not running it because it stays open in the background, this is app was what I was looking for....it saves a few steps.
It disables apps you choose completely when you're not using it.
I think there's a fee other apps that do the same thing...

Have u ever tried "LBE Security" ? It's free & has more functions. There 's a thread on xda too, u could search it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Is there any such app that works on un-rooted phones?
Usually my ram is at 500-600mb at normal usage but now after I installed antutu benchmark test from play store it keeps increasing to .9gb to 1.12gb with no usuage at all I clear ram leave it then check it out after hour or so the ram fills up and draining the battery with 10% drained I restarted the phone same thing even with uninstalling the app it is really annoying draining the battery like that and having ram at this level what do u think I should do or what is causing it.
Thanks

See it just keeps filling like that

It will remain always like that. you need not to do anything, android itself having LMK(low memory killing) and will make free whenever it needs.
So keep as it is, It's good for health.
PS : Though you want to keep free, use option limit background process in developer option in setting, don't know ultimately how much it will improve battery, but surely it will take time to open application.
Don't worry too much about RAM usage, and don't use task killers. Unlike with Windows or your usual linux distribution, android has control on which app stays in memory and which one is killed. And it is pretty good at managing this without user intervention.
As for battery life, I recommend BetterBatteryStats if you whant to know what is draining it. But by personal experience, I think you should look at apps that use background data connection, like Facebook.
Mine always sits around 1.55 - 1.65ghz lol
Edit: I just realised I wrote GHz instead of GB. *facepalm* fail on my behalf lol

Gosh there is difference between cpu and ram

I did a factory reset and same problem still exist ram at 0.95gb - 1.12gb why. When I usually do factory reset it settles at 500-600mb now with no apps it is high as mentioned above.

I'm annoyed because it wasn't like that before and annoyed me more when I did a factory reset and found ram high as before :banghead:

Does anything not work as you think it should? Or is this just a matter of numbers? Any performance issues?
See what I'm getting at?
What's the problem?

The problem it wasn't like that and now the issue is the battery drainage with this high ram even after a factory reset.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
The battery drainage is much more likely from you constantly trying to kill all those apps, since they then have to restart again. If your phone is not slow, just don't worry about it.
