    Question Question ONLY for those who say android Does Not Need task killer...

    I have had advanced task killer on my phone forever. I play a game called Raging Thunder online with my phone alot. The game freezes up often. I use the task killer to end it, otherwise, when I try to start it again, I get a blank screen or the frozen still frame it last displayed.
    After seeing so many members tell others it was not needed, I decided to un-install it. I have the new 2.2 and was still having it freeze occasionally so I thought I'd try it without the task killer on the phone. (I'm running my droid 1 stock BTW)
    So the first time the darn game freezes, I go to start it again, blank screen.
    I look around for another way to end it without re-booting the phone. I go to settings, applications, running services and I don't see it there. I proceed to click on some things I see there but I don't kill anything cause the couple things I click on warn of bad things happening with services I do recognize, like weather etc...Then all of a sudden my phone is frozen; had to do a battery pull. I think that's only the 2nd time I ever been forced to do that in 9 months of ownership.
    Please enlighten me about another method that's equally as fast as clicking the old TK & ending the program, then promptly re-starting it to play again.
    I'm waiting for the answer that works. If I don't get an answer that works for me, I'm re-installing the task killer.

    Sounds like your game is the problem, not Android and its memory management.

    Sometimes a "smartphone" is only as smart as its user.

    Exactly. You build the app to the OS, not the other way around.

    It's OK for your Droid to be different. Just be supportive and reassuring and it will do just fine. It's when you or other people point at it or mock it for being different is when its' feelings get hurt. Just show it unconditional love regardless of its' differences and it will in turn reciprocate that love and loyalty.

    To me it sounds like the real issue is the game freezing to start with. Since I doubt the task killer is causing this but is being used to clean up after the fact, sounds like the game is the actual problem here.

    Thank you for your prompt comment, however I'm looking for a solution.
    The game stays even if it means I have to have a task killer.

    Good luck. I understand task killers are not working well with froyo.

    I'd email the developer.

    You could just get a task killer...nobody is prohibiting that.
