Do you use a task killer?
If yes or now, how's your battery life and what rom/kernel are you using?

check out the link for info on task killers
No I do not and I recommend everyone I know uninstall them.
I am using baked snacks 1.7 with the pre-loaded kernel running manup's theme and minfree manager on aggressive settings.
I had ninety percent this morning at five thirty and at five this evening I was at ten percent. That is with moderate usage while at work.

Just wondering what others are using or not using...
Task Killers are no good.
I uninstall the stuff I don't want and use "autostarts" to manage when the stuff I do want gets started.
No need for task killers when a) you prevent the apps from starting in the first place and b) they don't work anyways.

the most popular task killer is ATK, or advanced task killer. BUT... i dont recommend task killers for any device on froyo, it really does more harm than good

Yeah that sounds right. It was a paid app but very cheap. The icon is a little red car..
Also, spelled exactly: "autostarts", there is only one on the market.
It's a great app, a little tedious to set up but once you get it set it's a big help.
When you open it it will run and show you all the conditions that would start an app (not just at startup) and you can prevent, for example, photobucket from running every time you take a picture.

autostarts is not a task killer, it prevents apps from being started in the first place.
I quit using a task killer, my battery life didn't seem to change. I easily get 12 hours with moderate usage. I don't have a problem getting through a work day without charging. Stock Evo 2.2
Edit: I got my nephew to take his task killers off his MOTO Droid 2.2 and he said he's getting better battery life. He had juice defender and automatic task killer and advanced task killer

You do realize Juice Defneder is not a task killer right?
The combination of Autostarts and Juice Defender net me over 24 hours off the charger with moderate to heavy use. I never chose to not use my phone in order to preserve battery, unless I'm below 10%.
Autostarts + Juice Defender = WIN

I'm a heavily user and manage to get atleast 4 hours.. but as juice defender which I did use and did help if you didn't use your phone, I just used the data widget and manually turn data off before I shut my phone off. I turn it back on if I use a app that uses data. Not a big hassel its a 1 click thing. Unclicked background data and auto-sync and notice the same or better than juice. The only thing I notice so far foe background data is market used it. I turn data on and open email and it syncs. My input on juice. Atk is a no no in my books.

I thought Android 2.2 removed the API that task killers use to kill apps?
The only things I use is the Running Services if something isn't closing, or SystemPanel, other then that, no task killers.. I use to all the time until I learned they really don't do anything.
Not anymore, I do keep an eye on system panel though.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I use ATK but only manually after I am done using an app. No point in keeping them in memory if I'm not going to be using it, I also leave the services alone and uninstall anything that likes to autostart. For battery life I regularly get 12 hours with fairly heavy usage for about four or five hours. That's streaming pandora, or using the music app, over bluetooth while browsing the web or reading the news. If I don't use it but for calls and some texts it will usually last a day or two.
Stock de-odexed ROM with Netarchy's 4.1.9 CFS kernel.
I'm almost positive that anyone running froyo is getting nothing out of using a task killer. Google axed the ability for these types of apps to work properly in 2.2. They are nothing more than a waste of cpu cycles and battery.

i bought my hero last week and ive been playing with it and installing alot of apps and such along with different roms testing the speed and overall battery life. right now im running fresh 1.1 rom and several apps from the market. the thing runs really fast and the battery life is amazing. it went all day yesterday and all last night and just now its at 29%. and this is with moderate use!
i do have a question though, how much free ram is normal for this phone. i see with all of my apps and such i have about 75-85% free when i use task killer. and yes my apps are on the sd!
also what would you guys recommend for a extended battery. i don't want a huge one that will require another back cover. just one that's a higher capacity.
edit: just a FYI, don't install the antivirus app from the market, it is a HUGE battery killer. i know we don't need the app but i wanted to test it out.

first read this. as far as your memory goes istalling and testing all those apps have you cleared out your cache recently? As even though the apps are on the SD they still store the cache on internal.
I'll second nixing the task killer. I was a skeptic at first, but I sacked the task killer and took note over the next two days. Much better WITHOUT the task killer.

Yup. Very happy with speed and reliability. Can't imagine why I ever needed a task killer.
Battery is way better than I expected. I play with my hero all day, browser internet, youtube watch, check email, download apps. The phone still has 20% more battery. And the memory control is good. I used to use taskkiller. But now I don't use it anymore. I don't turn off hero for 3 or 4 days, app runs quickly. But the Android system has to improve. It could be better.
Same here. Battery life is pretty good. Quit using a task killer and the phone is running great. If you have Astro or ES File Explorer installed they have a task manager/killer built in that you can use if you REALLY think you need to kill something.
Battery. There is a thread in the Sprint HTC Hero section on androidforums about a replacement battery that is higher capacity but fits with the stock battery cover. Everybody seems to love it.
It won't let me post a link to it, but you can go to androidforums.com and go to the Sprint HTC Hero section and search for Mugen Battery 1800mAh.

your pullin data all the time...what do you expect?
my suggestion: make a shortcut with bettercut and sync on demand.
I bought my Xperia X10 last August 18 '10. I didn't have the initial charge that is 4 hours because X10 charging have automatic stop when the battery is full.
I charged it in the morning and it run for 24 hours just SMS and phone calls.
Then I try to install Advance Task killer and Helix Launcher. Task killer really makes my battery WORST! Instead of 24 hours life it became almost 12 hours only.. Helix is most probably not working. (I think.)
I uninstalled Advanced Task killer and no difference..
I would like to install Battery Life saver application but I don't know what Launcher fits best. I tried Helix but I think I doesn;t work better for my X10.
I envy other users that there phone last for 2-3 days. I want my phone just like that..
Any suggestions what launcher or application? and where can I download it for free?
Thank you so much XDA DEVELOPERS!
wat firmware version are u on ? i found that it took 15-20 full charges for the battery to really break in...as well dont use task killers, they arent necessary. I used juicedefender for a bit, but didnt really see a difference. another helpful thing you should try is to restart your phone after charging
another app you could try is setcpu, however that requires root
Try adw launcher
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via Xda
My suggestion is root the phone, use ADW launcher and uninstall any task killer apps like ATK or JD. My X10 lasts 2 days with moderate usage, that includes games and music too. It'll last three if I only use it for texting and calling. Hope this helps
Agreed, ditch the "powersaving" apps, they kill standby time. Also check how synchronisation is set up, constantly waking up to update facebook, twitter, mail et cetera will kill your battery.
Can only agree with the other posts, and just to re-affirm that you need to cycle the battery a good few times to get the best from it and three days is still early days. ADW is a great launcher, you don't need to be rooted if that's out of your comfort zone.
My way is NOT using any task killers or battery savers, leave all that to android! Do 3 full charge/decharge cycles and one every ones in a while. And ofc 2-3h of youtube will drain your battery.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
quite interesting point about task killing app.
I heard in both side while app-killing save a batt and drain a batt.
May be people are in difference behavior. and their using s/w is also difference.
Any specific thread for this?
My first (few) days for x10 is like you, twice or triple charge a day, I even bought spare batt. I decided to root and upgrade to the lastest firmware, clean all startup app, clean all scheduled sync and turn on juicedefender with new home-app. that was big improve from 7-10HR to 20-25HR with moderate use.
You should give a try
Retracted: I misread the post mentioning JuiceDefender as being about ATK. My bad.
I currently only use juice defender, seems to do the trick. Task killers made no difference to me.
Research how android works and you will see task killers are pointless. Just stop things doing automatic updating instead.

30-45mins of web browsing
@ ddewbofh : Where can I find it? Sorry for the stupid question. I'm starting to learn for now.
@ suzed : I already downloaded ADW Launcher, does it really have automatic task manager? If I use it, it will affect my battery or not?
@ Tjotte : I want battery saver because I can't bring my charger always. I already had 3 cycles of full charge/decharge, still no change.
@ Cebees : How will i root and upgrade the firmware? Can I do it all by myself? Do I have to reformat my X10?
Thanks for the replies! It really helps me a lot. I'm still observing how ADW Launcher works for me. Hope for your comments and suggestions again (sorry for the poor english)
I want to clarify something. Is ADW Launcher a battery saver or just for themes? My friends says it's not a battery saver. I want to know, I'm confused.

Hey guys, If you have been involved in this community for a while then you well know how developers feel about task killers. Many such as Cyanogen have spoken out saying they are useless and not good for the phone. Heck, even Google released a blog about how Android works.
http://androinica.com/2010/05/07/google-and-cyanogen-comments-imply-task-killermanager-apps-are-pointless/
So, is the stock task killer build into the J16 update going to have the same negative effect? I am wholly against task killers. I work in the industry and every time I am helping a customer or selling a phone I make sure they know the negative impact these have on a phone. But i want to know what you guys think.
Dev doesn't have problem with Task manger per se, they have problem with the "auto-kill" ability of some of the task manager in the Market.
I personally think JI6 task manager is cleanly done. It even tells you the CPU usage, so you can just kill of the "trouble" APP. It also doesn't show any of the system apps so, making it impossible to screw things up.
Plus, it's got other information that are helpful as well.

True, it is that System app that can mess with crap. But what about apps that share processes with other apps?
Task managers are total crapware...well for the most part...auto killers are the plage avoid them...the bully in task manager seems to be okay for only one thing to kill an app that had locked up or needs to be reset...other than that its a waste of space and battery drain if you run the widget.

All the widget does is tell you how many active apps are running. The task manager is welcome seeing as how even some built in apps don't allow you yo cleanly exit them and Android apps tend to consume large amounts of RAM.

I think I've made it clear on my stance, but I will say the task manager on JI6 seems fine. The fact that it shows the CPU usage is the key part. And like others have said, it does not show system apps... just don't end the obvious ones that are syncing or widgets...
Well after running battery graph with and without the widget running...the widget takes 1% from the battery every 10 mins it runs...I liked the factor of seeing what was running in the bg but too much battery use on my stock battery...got a 3300 on the way...might use more widgets and apps after that but with this weak battery not going to use anything that eats battery away....btw running b 1.7 with voodoo lagfix

Personally I don't mind the Task manager. I had "Where" go bonkers on me and I didn't realize it. It was running 80% and my phone started to get hot. I killed the app and it returned to normal.
Never mind the fact that I started "Where" probably 15-20minutes earlier and it ate nearly 20% of my battery in the period with the screen off and sitting at the home screen.
Apps can go rogue and in my opinion thats when they should be used not because it gives you a false since of your saving battery power or to make room for other apps.

It's not a ' task manager ' as they call it, its a process manager... in the original vibrant Rom JFD , if you create a shortcut for the activity, 'running services' , it links to the same service... I don't use it but don't mind it as long as they never add an auto kill feature to it... I think it will also stop new users from getting app/task manager crap_ware from the market...
I like it and i think its better than the task killer in the market,
At least it is not suggesting killing everything but showing how much CPU the app is using.
For sure, i won't put that stupid ugly widget in the desktop as it is really useless

Hey, I know that the apps are consuming the battery life. But mine is not like that.
Is there anyway to increase the battery life on the aria? I love it, and I love sense, but within about twelve or so hours of moderate use in the day my battery is left with roughly 20%. With cyanogenmod, the same period of time and usage, I was left at 60% battery. I know the sense launcher and Widgets play a little part of that, but even with my hero, battery life wasn't that much of a difference between vanilla and sense roms.

I have read somewhere on the google (official google page about android stuff), using task killers does NOT improve battery life because background apps stated as "suspended" when they are in background. I dont know if I get it right. I will post link if I can find.
P.S. Couldn't find it but it was something similar with this:
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
Of course, you must take control off applications really "running" in background and preventing the phone sleep state. Not just "killing" all applications.

* I've resisted the urge to switch, only because I've heard wildly conflicting stories about how fast it runs on the Aria.
don't use task killer it will kill the app but the app will just start up again in the background cause the battery to run out. it says its in the background and that's true but its not running its idle and isn't affecting battery.

You might want to try out an app called Autostarts. Just make sure you don't turn anything off you really are gonna need. Try this with advanced task killer and the apps wont load back up.

Check that you do not have an app constantly running in the background - on my stetup, I found that the XDA app was burning 3-5% CPU time spooling in the background doing nothing. (using OSMonitor)
For what its worth, I went back to the Sense ROM (FR008) from CM6.1 because of strange battery behavior - some days dropping to 30-40% after a full day, others it would be dead by 5pm. I dont consider my self a heavy user either. I do not see a significant difference in battery life between the two ROMs, if you throw out the aberrant days that CM would go nuts on me.

Does anyone still use autokiller with their evo? I remember using it before but haven't heard anyone talk about it lately
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nooooo waaaayyyy. Autokillers are bad news! Use Autostarts instead to prevent crap from ever starting instead of killing it once it does. Your battery will thank you!
why did you bring it back up? hhmmmmm......
I was an avid user of ATK until about a month ago, I saw someone with a stock unrooted evo (3.70 OTA updated), that had been off battery for 10 hours and still had 40% battery. They didn't have any task killers running at all. So I said to myself if that guy can do it, Myn's RLS5 with Netarchy's 4.3.1 CFS HAVS NOSBC can definately do it.
Needless to say, I don't know why I ever used a taskkiller, my battery has been awesome by just letting android do its own thing.

Yea, thats my point...ATK is of course stupid, but I thought autokiller would work better. I'm guessing its built into the custom kernels, so no need?
I just googled it, I didn't know there was an app called autokiller. I thought you were referring to the autokiller function of ATK or other task killers. It seems that it is significantly different than a task killer. I guess it directly adjusts the way android deals with memory management?
None of that crap is needed with Froyo.
I use autokiller, I estimate it gives me maybe another hour of battery per day, if that, but things run smoother when I open more apps than normal. Don't run into the sluggishness that I used to run into with too many apps open. It lets android smoothly kill off apps im not using more agressively than it normally would.

I have mine set on auto kill. I guess I'm still stuck on eclair mode.

I have advanced task manager,(paid) but really the only time I use it is to quickly uninstall apps. Sometimes I clear all apps after a boot but after that I leave it alone.
I have it start at boot and use custom presets. Have used it since it came out for the hero. Now it saves time especially when using the 128K read ahead buffering scheme. The buffers got to go somewhere, they are more than a only pio/mio setting.
I wish I never bought it... I fell for the app just to find out I really didn't need it
