seriously?? well, i changed it so it shuts itself down along with the other programs/apps, in case it's a memory hog itself. angry birds await my return...:laugh:
are you saying the droid closes things you leave open or that open themselves for notifications etc on its own?? that's not what i'm seeing when i open ATK, and the droid does get slower the longer i go without killing the apps...to have ATK close itself when it closes other programs, just leave the check marked next to ATK in the kill list.
ok, i actually read the link this time and it makes some sense. i changed the settings so it doesn't auto-kill but i will probably still have to use it to keep the droid from running slow.
it depends on when i go into ATK. I usually see at least Voice Search, News and Weather and Visual Task Switcher, which i think i have either as widgets or on the home screen. If I leave the phone idle for a while or in some other cases, I come back to find other programs open either from being polled for notifications or things I used and am no longer using but didn't close properly (sometimes I can't figure out how to close programs). I now understand why it keeps things open but, realistically, at least the way my phone is set up, it will slow down a lot if I don't kill the apps. When my phone sits idle and I come back to it, it usually runs slow until I kill things :unsure:. Thanks for your help and advice guys and I like how cool this forum is :gotmyvote:.
