I was wondering how effective their task manager will be. Talks that Task Killer and Advanced Task killer will do more harm than good! Gingerbread has a built in, rather an optimize task killer that runs and there will be no need for anything. So how will the two work hand-and-hand!? And can you turn HTC task killer off?

Awesome.
I just watched this whole video on my lunch break.
My bet is that the task killer will pretty much suck. It's nice that they're including it, but my bet is that you won't be able to use it to shut down the bloatware and carrierware apps (ie: the whole reason people install app killers in the first place). I would love to be wrong, but I'm afraid that may be what happens.
Great find with the video, btw. Lots of good information in there.

I am happy to join this forum, thanks for the message

Hi, Very Good , Thanks man

I think it would be a good idea to have a feature of being able to turn the task manager off. Not everyone (especially casual users) is going to want to be messing around with the process on there phone. It is a cool feature though, as long as they can pull it off...

I heard the Epic has one built in as well
Ive heard it works good

I have the evo 3d. I used to use advanced task manager, but if I'm using pandora or a music player app, advanced task killer doesn't kill anything. The only way to kill these, our even internet apps is to use the stock task killer, which wouldn't be TOO bad if it had a shortcut or widget, but it has neither. Any word on this being remedied?

While the task manager works fine in some area's, it falls short in others.

After killing apps with Evo's task manager I come up with 180-230 mb of free memory.
While killing apps with ATK I come up with 390-410 of free memory.


I still think it's better to use ATK without the auto kill feature.

After reading many forums
all say task killers are bad for the operating system
I dont use them at all anymore !

You can just open your apps page, find Task Manager, hold it for a few seconds and drag a shortcut to whatever panel you want.
