Task Killers haven't been needed since froyo and people would save a lot of battery if they stopped using them.


wow haha. wonder why moto put one in there then.. fortunately with my razr maxx battery is no issue. but with ics, ram has been an issue and i'm just wondering why the change for the worse, or is there something i'm missing. ram hadn't been an issue since my droid x, and now its becoming a problem again with ics.

i have to agree about task killers, i stopped using them all together until the stock one with 2.3.5. now that ics is here and stock blur "task manager" is gone, i'm having issues. i welcome suggestions

The only reason OEMs still include task killer is in case you have a rouge app that won't die and it's eating your battery or destroying your signal.

You're just going to kill your battery doing that but go ahead.

Well you're not getting the full potential out of it either.

Ram that isn't used is wasted ram. It's there for a reason. Too be used. The only gain by killing apps to save ram is that the OS won't have to swap something out of ram to push something in. So some app you use once in a while takes an extra micro second or two to load. Big deal. In the vast majority of cases, you'll use the same programs over and over. In that case, if you've previously opened the app, it's already loaded into ram. Opening it again will open it immediately. However, if you kill that app, the next time you open it, it will take longer to load because it has to first load it into ram, then open it. Everything you open gets loaded into ram first. If you have 200 MBs of ram free, it's ram that's not being used. Ram that could be put to good use for something other than just sitting there and doing nothing. Think about it. So you have a whole bunch of ram free. If you open a program that isn't loaded into ram, it still has to be loaded in ram. The only thing you save time wise if you have a bunch of ram free is a micro second or two of time while the OS swaps something out of ram , then loads the program you started into ram. Sorry if I sound like I'm on a high horse here but this argument gets old. IMHO, like I said before, unused ram is wasted ram.

Everyone wants to preach about task killers but no one has addressed my actual problem yet. I'm not talking microseconds here. The phone gets laggy. Anyone have any suggestion on how to deal with that since task killers are so thoroughly established as being a waste of time? Feel free to continue to preach about task killers if that's your thing but perhaps you could find some other thread. Your Work is done here.

On gb I had no lag issues. On Ics I do. I took the update ota without any issues installing. And it's not all the time but annoying enough when it does Happen, that I'd like to try and correct it.

Didn't mean to "preach" and if you are happy with using a task killer, then by all means use one. It is (for the time being) still a free country.

If your phone gets laggy and stays that way without intervention from you and a task killer, I suspect that you have an app that is not playing well with ICS. Could also be a launcher issue like spc_hicks said.

According to Play I have 92 apps installed, I have no bloat removed, basically completely stock with root and SS installed. I rarely see any lag at all and when I do it's usually explained by an ongoing download, app update or some issue with a connection and it's always a very temporary condition.

Ongoing apps I run: Exchange Email (push), gmail, FB, twitter, 1weather, Beautiful Widgets, Skyvi (occasionally).

I already made the update to ics. It's working fine, the battery life increased, the face unlock is cool...
Much better now.
