I'm here and Shaydlife is also here. Any questions, feel free to PM us.
Are open apps in the back round really that much of a battery drain or is this a case of smartphone ocd? With my storm I can keep all my apps open and I do not see a battery problem....I do see a lag in performance..
Is this open task bad battery life all just smoke and mirrors.
Yes it is.
They are not a huge battery drain
You are OCD
You will not see lag, unlike the Storm which would leak memory or sometimes not recycle it. This phone does recycle unused memory.
It is all smoke and mirrors with task killers.
I think an ex BB user invented TK's and it was because well, he previously had a BB.

Ok if I remove ATK how do I close programs like games or anything like that after I am done playing. Seems like there should be a "end program" option when I am done.
Thanks guys this thread was very helpful. I too loaded up ATK and TK because it was recommended by a friend that I do but now have deleted. Reminds me of my BB file free/memory OCD. Gotta break those damn bad habits!
I in the same boat LOL. I deleted my task killer also. I will try and see how it goes.
Thanks for stating your opinion. Yet I will take Cyanogens word and not use them. The man does not make apps he makes roms from source and is complete against them.
there is a way to close apps without a task manager. in settings, under apps, hit menu, filter, show running apps, then click the app in question and you can stop it there. nexus one at least.
because it IS running better! ATK is bad um kay lmaoNice! Im sure there are thousands of us BB defectors out there. I dont know if its placebo but since removing the task killers my battery seems to last longer and run smoother.
It seems like the lists in Running Applications is a LOT smaller (and different) than what's shown in the different task killers. How do we address the extra almost dozen found by the app killer?
+1 to just using system panel...much smarted way to do it
