Can somebody help me? I install Task Killer. When I push the killer button, My phone cannot connect to the internet anymore, so... I have to restart the phone to make a connection again.
I thought may be, I killed the connection with Task Killer. But I don't know which application can control the connection to put in whitelist. Thanks.
add timescape to the task killers ignore list

Try having the "backup and restore" task as excluded. That is probably it I think I had a similar problem when I used task panel to auto kill when screen went off, it disconnected my phone call as soon as screen turned off and caused many other problems.
Give It a try

I agree I've realised they are actually a waste of time, plus there are concerned that it may actually cause problems to the phone long-term.

Even I do respect your opinion I have to inform you that after a test I actually manage to get more battery without it. Its nice if you kill unnecessary apps once in a while but on Auto is not really helpful. I removed mine completely and I am happy from the results.

Are you running any task killers?
Have you rooted?
Need to know more to help diagnose if this is fixable.

Phone is not rooted and i am using advance task killer+ adw launcher.
Suggest you try not using ATK for a while... my phone was laggy when I used it... much better since... (and battery better too)..
ATK is ok, if you're only using it to kill something that you know is problematic.. but I don't use anything like that at all now.
It worked for me.. give it a try..
Trust in Android ;-)

Just wondering how many people are still seeing significant lag or freezing even with Voodoo installed? Mine was was hanging and lagging pretty bad over time and uninstalling apps, doing battery pulls was not helping for long. Didn't seem specific to any particular thing either.

Yes but there is no writing to system so lag there should be minimal. I was having issues too, until I figured out it was the ram tweaking app doing it.

Valid point.. I was thrown off by the OP's grammar. My initial understanding was that lag was experienced during the uninstall of apps. I see, now, that he meant that uninstalling the apps didn't help with his lag.
My culprit was http://www.appbrain.com/app/autokiller-memory-optimizer/com.rs.autokiller
Which makes me sad because I made a sizeable donation to the dev.

I miss my Nexus as well, but am happy with my fascinate. It's a superior device, just needs some froyo pushed so the dev magic can begin in earnest.
Honestly, if they rolled out an N1 on verizon, I wouldn't change, I just wish Samsung would get off their asses with the update already.

What exactly is auto killer doing? I've been running it as well as auto start killer since day 1 on mine without a problem.

Sorry for the poor wording - I was having issues just unlocking the screen if the browser or another app had been left on screen/running when it turned off. Sometime moving from one app to another then to another would do it and sometimes just opening something like Tweetdeck or Tapatalk from the home screen with nothing else running would do it. I was getting complete hangs lasting 30-40 sec. I don't use any task killers and had pared apps down to about 6 or 7 and was still getting unbearable lag - much worse than I ever had without Voodoo.
Just my experience so YMMV - just thought we could consolidate the issue with a poll since I was seeing similar comments in various threads but no real consensus on the issue.

After you took that off did it clear up the lag issues? Because I put that on the same night you did in IRC. Might have to put voodoo back on if autokiller is what was causing it all along. Just seemed to get slower day by day without a restart but I would love it if the app was the issue

Curious about the autokiller settings you were using. I leave it on default with aggressive as secondary when my screen sleeps. Haven't had any lag whatsoever with anything. I know sometimes things are device specific, but was just curious how you nailed this as the culprit.

I was using the settings that curio put on his twitter. I know that wasn't towards me but I think Adrynalyne was using these too. But I could be wrong.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I tried Curio's settings, as well as aggressive, and one other....
I nailed it down because I froze it with Titanium, which stopped it on startup and my phone started working 10000% better. I was this || close to uninstalling voodoo as the problem.
Did you try the "optimal" setting?
The settings arent the problem. The app is.
I'm not even sure why people think they need these task killers. This phone runs like lightning with just Voodoo.

Wow thank you sooooo much. I've been using this since day one and thought all my phone issues were Samsung-related.
I just removed it and for the past couple hours I've experienced some of the best performance ever. I'm sad it took this long to get to this point, but oh well, time to enjoy...
Well yeah I don't care if it drains battery but dos it slow down phne?
Just don't use it
Alright!

Task killers are okay, just not needed. The real issue is the auto killing and killing system apps.
Long press home, use that instead if really necessary.
I use automem killer and keep it on a strict setting

BTW : dont kill the task all day long You need stuff in memory if you kill things all day long they will take awhile to boot because u clean memory frequently and programs have to load up allover again instead of being in memory ready to be used )

where you using autokiller? because if you where thats a different type of task management app.
auto killer is used to tune androids natural task killing abilities. also galaxy tuner also has these features built into the app.
Here is some informed info on using these types of memory managers.

Oh well check out that info I posted. Besides having auto kill on lowers your battery life because its constantly killing stuff. Your phone uses the same amount of power regarless if you have things in memory or not.
WOW , i didnt say battery preformance decrease because of task you kill BUT! it increases loading times ! which also decrease your battery !
No one said you said anything bro. I was just sharing information I know to be true as confirmed by developers that I follow. My info was not directed at anyone or anything.
i know bro , if i sound mean i didnt mean too , and i was JUST SAYING TOO .
hey so my gf has a desire z mostly because I convinced her android is the way to go, and she loves it, but recently she has been frustrated because every once in a while, usually when she uses the default messaging app or widget, it will slow way down and/or freeze, and take a few minutes to sort itself out, I suggested try handcent cause it may clean that up, but since then it has continued to happen, any suggestions? thanks!

Reboot with pulling the battery out? Many apps on it?
If you're unsure whats causing the slowdown, I'd download Watchdog Lite and see what apps are taking up the most CPU/RAM and see if removing or fixing issues with these apps will change anything.
I haven't done anything extra for her to it, no rooting, all she has done is the ovta 2.2.1 update and download apps, just simple ones like backgrounds, schedules/notes, and games, and okay thanks I'll try downloading that app to see

When having that version of Android I had some slow downs when using animated wallpapers, they clogged the memory also until it froze. Using normal, steady backgrounds took care of it.
I also have advanced task manager installed (free from market), it has a widget, clicking on it frees memory and speeds up the phone.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I like the wallpaper idea but I have heard from many places that task killers use more battery cause most apps will just start up again, but if it stops the freezing maybe it's a necessary trade off
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yeah, Froyo is supposed to be much better with ram management so task managers are not required. Its very likely to be a misbehaving app in the background.
Failing that, factory reset to rule out an failed ota.

How many text messages does she have on the phone? I think this is a known issue, for people with a ridiculous mount of SMS messages.

Don't use task managers. They're unnecessary and like you said can hurt more than they help more often than not.
Check out an app like Watchdog, that doesn't kill anything it'll just show you if something is eating too much CPU, so you can remove or change it. Also, lots of messages or long long threads can slow it down too.
so I got her to use watch dog and she just texted me saying that it popped up and messaging was over the cs threshold, and I do think she has a ton of messages, I'll tell her that deleting them could fix it, thanks!

You can customize what the threshold is. I think its like 20% or 30% by default. Kinda surprising that very rarely happens. If she deletes all messages and it still happens I'm really not sure.
She has a desire z. Its sense slowing it down. Not android. I remember this happening to me when i use to have it. Root that badboy and slap cyanogen mod on it. I can guarantee you it'll be waaay faster, not to mention the battery life will be better.

While the Sense launcher is a bit laggy and resource hungry, it sounds like the OP has something going on far beyond just Sense. Sense itself does not cause the Messaging app to lockup for minutes, and it seems to be a problem that has developed over time.
My personal preference is "System Monitor". It doesn't kill anything and does everything watchdog and a little more. It costs tho

You were previously talking about flashing CM7. If the HTC SMS app is indeed the problem, you don't need to flash a new ROM to get away from it. Yes, the HTC SMS app is not great, but neither is the stock AOSP one. I've been using the stock Sense ROM for the most part since December, with Chomp SMS and see absolutely no slow down. Plus, I've tried CM7 and other ROMs, and there is no significant affect on battery life. If the OP's GF wants to stay on Sense, its really overkill to recommend ROM flashing. Its pretty apparent from the most recent posts deleting some messages will likely fix the problem.

5000 is a bit much. If its just a case of not being bothered to delete old messages (I have the same problem, but delete in the hundreds still) I could recommend the "Delete old messages" function which will automatically keep the thread down to size.
