Task Killer Included In Gb Update?

Does The Gingerbread Update For The Thunderbolt Include A Task Killer/Manager
Like Touchwiz Does ANd MOtorola Applications Platform?

If you pull down the notification bar and click quick settings, at the bottom it will show your used and free memory... If you click this it will take you to the task manager where you can kill Apps. So yes the update includes a task manager, but it only kills tasks if you tell it to

I don't see it either.

However, you can get into memory management by simply clicking on the "All Settings" button in the quick settings, which brings you to the same place you'd have gone if you simply hit "Menu" / "Settings".

From there, you can select "Applications", "Manage Applications", and click the "Running" tab. That tab details what apps are running, how much memory they are consuming, how much CPU they've used, and if you click on one there's a STOP button so you can whack it.

It's important to note that, unless you have a misbehaving application that is consuming resources it shouldn't, there's almost no reason to kill apps to free up memory. Memory doesn't cost anything in Linux/Android - the whole point is to keep the stuff you are using in application memory so it doesn't have to go and page it back in again next time you use it. If the app doesn't get used for a while and you use other apps, the unused app will be paged out of memory as part of the built-in memory management.

If you artificially kill an app and it wants to run, it'll simply page itself back into memory, and you're going to end up in an uphill battle fighting the optimization that your phone is trying to do for you.

If you have an app that is misbehaving, don't kill it, uninstall it. Banish it to the frozen wastelands of null, never to return!
