So what is the conclusion about task killers?

[Grey Hawk]

Do we need them or not? Do they hurt or help?

 

[Backnblack]

IMHO they are worthless and cause issues.

Yep.....worthless!!!!

Along with antivirus apps too, don't forget those

Thank goodness we have the third task manager discussion thread today. The other two just weren't sufficient enough IMO.

wouldn't live without one android os and apps are odd as hell imo **** just starts for no reason. and slows down the phone i also autostarts to kill apps from starting at start up.

Let's keep things on topic and quit the childish bickering...

 

[wuyanks]

IMHO it's worth having. run it every time you boot up your phone, and kill the tasks you don't want. ignore those you do, then shut down the task killer and you're on your way

I use Advanced Task Killer it is free from verizon I use it everyday to kill backgrounded apps. Defintly Worth it. Now Antivirus worthless.
