What task killer did you use?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
Advanced task killer

Just simply ignore them, they're kept in memory to allow quicker startup times, and shouldn't be causing too much battery drain. If you want to get rid of some of the apps which you think might be misbehaving, thus draining battery, simply root and hit them with the force of a thousand suns, or just flash a custom rom. And for the love of god, never use task killers, they're pure evil!

Just also want to tell you that Android has its own task killer. When in low memory situations, Androids built in task killer starts killing applications. You can also modify the task killers values if want to take full control of it. I use romtoolbox to do this. It's really helpful for me.
:good:try Greenify, a must have:

There is NO point using a task killer on Android, as it will only load the needed/wanted stuff back into memory and thus using even more battery than NOT killing the task.
thanks for the heads up, good to know.
what about ram manager apps (like RAM Manager Pro)? I have f**ked my phone a few times with ram tweaking so I'm skeptic with these and don't really wanna test until I'm clearly sure.
I used to use ram tweaker programs but now just use spica123's hp mod or v8 superscript. Just searck xda for them.

Using v6 its pretty cool.

Generally it is discouraged to use any kind of task killler on gingerbread because it messes with the built-in memory manager. If by any chance you are using froyo or earlier version of android, then it is ok.
As for the v6 supercharger, I'm using it too.
oops I meant V6, Just wanted more power
Just as stevvie said, you will kill the apps for a few seconds, but they will just reload again. It kills your battery.
Also, I've noticed that sometimes apps that weren't even running before the killing launch after the killing (i.e. you kill 10 apps, 12 apps launch a couple of seconds later).
Most importantly, your widgets can get messed up, unless you exclude the widget app in ATM.

Android is good and intelligent OS, it doesn't need a task manager at all but for the sake of freeing ram, its provided..
Auto taskers cosume a lot of battery coz they use timers and schedules for satisfying the user settings so its no need to use it at all.. also if a process is killed too many times it MAY not work properly...experiment and see which gives more battery..
Ok tnx

I haven't found a task killer that does more good than bad. The task killer itself sits in memory (The exact opposite thing that you want) and if it tries to be all cool and automatically stop some processes from spawning it usually slows down the phone. Just use SuperCharger V6 and clear cached processes.
I haven't looked for a task killer/manager in quite a while maybe there is a cool new one out that actually works.
Thanks.i will try this out

well , when i was a newbie in android is always wanted a task killer , but the real deal is you dont need them at all ,, android is a great os that manages running processes by itself and there is no task killer that REALLY kills processes ,, they just hide for secs and come up again :laugh:
i read that Some app will be invoked by some events..
and it realy happen in my phone, apps that i havnt used,
are opened.

You can stop it using a task killer. There are much in Google Play Store

It is very bad idea to use task killers ! After some usage you will have problems with your battery ! Android is cleaning ram when he need it so you don't need to shut down apps

I don't know... you can't read ? You want to make his phone slower ? Or you are just stupid ?
There are a lot of threads/posts in xda about how bad task killers are ;/
Do whatever you want but don't make others do what you think...

Well there's nothing wrong to use task killer if you need little free ram and quick boost
And for op problem use autorun manager
Could anyone recommend a good task killer, to free ram etc. That works well with s3 mini.
Im not rooted and dont want to be. Sp removing bloatware is a no. Ty

Task killers are unecessary imo, it actually drains more battery if you constantly kill apps in the background because the app justs starts back if it is set to run in the background
also android automatically kills apps when there is not enough ram to run specific apps
