Well some ppl said that Advanced Task Killer is actualy killing battery... and slowing down phone.. Your experience with it ?
I use "Automatic Task Killer" and its great.
You just choose which programm you want to kill and its done automatically.

Exactly in Android, you don't need to install this app, just holding your return key for 1-2 sec until it shows up a notification text line at the bottom

This seems to work quite well on the TP2
What is this? Are there any prerequisites?

It's the task manager from the new Xperia X2.
After further investigation, it does seem to work ok. It's just that tapping the 'X' when a program is running actually quits the program after installing the X2 CAB.

LOL! I've confused you, sorry. I didn't explain myself very well.
Yes, in the task manager clicking the "X" is supposed to stop a program. I was talking about the "X" in the top right-hand corner when a program is running as can be seen in this pic. Before installing this task manger, clicking it minimised a program - now it quits it.

Thats a registry edit.

go to hkcu/software/sonyericsson/taskmanagerquickwindow/options and set "taskbarcloseapponshorttap" value to 0
I'm sure someone asked about the wallpaper in my pics, but I can't see the post now
Anyway, here it is in a CAB if anyone wants it.

Xperia X2 panels
The X2's panels for the Touch pro 2 can be found Here.
Ah, this is just too great!
Thank you very much for posting that handy program
I found it to be far more reliable and faster than HTCs original task manager ... at least on my phone ^^

Instead of hacking the registry, you can also set that directly in the Task Manager.
Start > Settings > System > Task Manager. On the Button tab, choose "Enable the "X" button to end running programs"
thank you, I will try it.
Great App !! Really nice and faster as the Original HTC Taskmanager !!!

This may sound like a stupid question... but here it goes lol
Does task manager APPLICATION have to be running (blue icon in top left corner) for the auto terminate to work? or is there a separate PROCESS or something that allows it to kill tasks...
For completeness sake i don't exclude task manager ... am i defeating the whole purpose ?

NO you don't have the app to be running for auto terminate to work. I use it all the time and I set auto terminate for 30 min and it works like a charm.
Advanced task memory
Hey thanks a lot!!!
Another question, my memory is not displaying anymore, i have seen someone else talk about this but im not sure if its a general issue with the program...
Does anyone have their memory displayed ? im using 4.0.1

do you see a drain in your battery from the autokill?
Hi,
I'm using TasKiller to kill all tasks occasionally when the memory get low or the responsiveness of the phone getting slow, I have place the TasKiller widget on the home screen and when I click on that icon it will kill all tasks and free up memory, sometimes the radio will lost for a while, after about 15-20 seconds, the radio will come up again, however, this behavior may not happen everytime.
Is there any tasks on Galaxy S which is not recommend to kill ? I just ignore the browser for now and kill every other tasks.
Any clues to avoid this? Thanks.
You need to add things like the cell radio, touchwiz, stuff like that to a safelist.
I'm not aware of any task name which might related to cell signal, anyone know the name of the task?

After a few days of use and I have finally find out that which process cause the signal lost --- it's named."Call Setting". You can try to open Settings>Call Settings, then go back to the home screen, try to use Kill all function of TasKiller, you should see the signal lost for a while. It won't if you added that to the ignore list. However this only happen when I use TasKiller, I'm now trying Advanced Task Killer and I didn't found such "Call Setting" task in it.

Its the closest thing he has to solving his "problem" or what he would easily be able to use.
taskiller or something else dont kills services and selfstarting background apps, you can try with startup auditor which has an option to prevent apps to start again but i want an app which can really disable this ****, hope somone knows a better solution

Well you can simply uninstall the app/system app then.
If its a system app you want removing use "SystemApp Remover".
I don't see what's the big deal ! this is not something new, it doesn't kill your battery any faster if you kill them, use advanced task killer, set auto kill level to safe, set auto kill frequency to When screen off, only leave important apps on the ap list unchecked, add the auto kill widget to your homescreen, and every time you want just hit that widget killing all apps and go on with your day!!
Try Autostarts: http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/market/apps/app/com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts/Autostarts
With this app you have not only control of the startup programms, you also can disable apps, that would starts if different events happens. gl

of course it can kill your battery faster,like an update service witch activates your data, a music player which is watching if ur headset is plugged or things like that and its not enough to kill them with taskiller cause they can restart from them selve!
try multitasking from royerd, its a taskmanger which start when u press homebutton twice,there u can kill apps and u have a tab where u can see active services and kill them trough a shortcut

1. The ones running in the background are normally services or any apps which are not closed.
2. You can see service/apps run status using any task manager tool from market.
3. The services are installed as part of the app installed on your machine.
4. They are more often than not harmless as far as battery is concerned but can
be problematic if you have limited RAM on your phone
5. The best bet is to un-install the apps themselves, if you want to get rid of the services.
6. The normal task managers don't kill services running in background as that is what they are meant to do,otherwise the apps they are linking will not work properly.
7. Some apps on market claim to kill services/apps automatically as and when they are started by system, but this counterproductive as a service once installed will always attempt to start at frequent intervals and then the task manager killing them resulting in higher battery drain anyway.
Also, this means the task manager will always be running in the background.
So in short, the best bet for now is to un-install the apps which have background services running if you dont use them much.
Hope this helps.

I think he wants to disable the task manager/switcher completely while his app is in the foreground. He doesn't want to exclude his app from it.

That would need your app to be in system, which you cannot do manually from the Play Store.
Or u have to make your own task manager from where your launcher will be excluded.

Showing it in the Task Manager does not require any special requirements. All apps are shown there unless you add any one of the lines in my earlier post.

I might be seen as a hater here, but why would you want people to not be able to uninstall your app? Never have I seen an app that needs this functionality...

Well, most times it doesn't make sense. However, it is useful if you develop a kids mode app. So that they are limited to just those apps you allow them to use. Or some security app which has to be prevented from unauthorized uninstalling using a password.
