"Advanced Task Killer" does the job for you! Download in Market, Free App works like a charm. One of the top favored apps!

is there an app list for the xperia. I have stopped all the apps I dare without knowing what they do.

you can pretty much safely kill all apps that are listed in the app killer, if your disabling startup apps then thats a bit of a different story. My personal advice is to forget app killers all together. They slow down the performance of your android device and android already manages your memory and apps for you. Just let it be.
When trying to download apps, it stalls on the starting download screen. I've left it there for 5 to 10 minutes without anything happening. I still have 201mb of space left for the apps. Is anyone else having a problem with this?

This is one of the reasons why I rooted my vibrant and installed ryanza's lagfix. Have u tried clearing your market history/cache?

Cool, Thank you i will try that and see if it works.
Mine does it. Not sure why but this fixes it......open Google talk, click on a status, and go "home". Works every time. Make sure you have talk ignored in you task killer too.

I used to have advanced app killer and used to manually kill apps like crazy, but then I read that they actually hurt daily battery life. Do you guys still use them? It sucks to manually go into settings to stop apps. Discuss.

They are counterproductive with the new versions of Android.
Use watch dog to monitor for "misbehaving apps"

I have used Watchdog since I got my phone. It has twice alerted me that the browser was using extra cpus. It gives an option to kill the app right there so I did and everything was cool. Nice app.
1+ watchdog task killers were needed back in the day with 2.0 and below but android handles it pretty well nowadays
I only use it after boot up, but after that I only use it if I start getting lag.
Agreed. Avanced task killer and similar apps are rubish now days. Watchdog is Great because it alerts you about apps using top many resources.
New users and sales people tend to assume android uses ram like a computer does; the more free ram the beter. Android keeps certain apps available in ram so that its faster to open it you when needed. If the system requires more ram to function it will remove unused apps from memory.

Thanks for the watchdog recommendation. I checked out the app in the market place and it looks pretty cool. So you guys use no app killers at all?

This was super handy. Closed current app and you knew it was closed.
I have a hard time navigating the menus just to stop running an app. This solved that problem but I guess Google killed an app that made life easier.
If you have CyanogenMod you can set it under Settings->Applications->Development->Stop on long press. The other way is to use a task manager, in froyo it can't kill every app, but it can free up memory (I use ES Taskmanager and it works well on CM 2.2.1)

I put the game Air Penguin and another game Sky Warrior on my phone last night and 1 of them has put a load of other crap on there as well...
I've now removed both as i'm not sure which one was the issue but most of the day today i've had notifications that i might have won an Iphone 4 and other spam like that, it hasn't happened since i've removed the 2 games.
but since installing these 2 games i've also got another app that displays as "search" in a blue square and when you select takes you to a website www.livemobilesearch.com
Any ideas how i can remove this might have missed it but i can't find it with manage applications...
Dam annoying when this spam gets attached to other things you download...
Wish i could help, but where did u get the apps from, if u don't mind me askin.

From the marketplace...
I'm almost certain the search icon on your homescreen is just a bookmark and not an app. Just delete it.
As far as figuring out which app sent spam to your notification bar is easy. Reading the reviews for both in the market will give you a hint. Or when you get the spam icon in your notification bar just select it. For a brief second or 2 you will see the name of the app at the top of the screen.
There are a number of free apps in the market taking on this spam format. Hope google puts a stop to it. Always read the reviews before you install.
Yeah it was a bookmark just made to look like the Google search

I have Air Penguin and I don't have the ads or bookmark so it has to be the other app.
Install an app called "airpush detector" (free on the android market). It identifies the app that has airpush adware in it so you can uninstall it. And don't forget to 1 star the offending app with a comment in the market. When it happened to me it wasn't the app I thought that was actually the problem.

Yup, exactly what I did with the app MySettings - Airpush is totally annoying.
