Who uses an ATK? Is it helpful? I got it downloaded because seems like Apps always find a way to run in the background. Anyone know if it makes a diffrence to have ATK? Thanks guys!
I ran a TK when I had the POS Eris because, well, it had like crap for memory. Now, with the X and the Incredible, I do not and have not.Who uses an ATK? Is it helpful?

Smother or smoother? Mine definitely runs smoother without one.I use my task killer and task manger several times a day it makes my X run smother IMO. I have a ignore list for both of them as not to kill needed items I need running.
It runs faster without a taskkiller running. Android kills tasks on its own just fine..
Sigh. It's sad people can't think logically. They just don't get it. You don't need a task killer to "manage" memory. You need it to quickly force kill "rogue" applications.
I will repeat it - you want a task killer. Statements like this:
...are oxymorons. If Android runs fine on it's own then running a task killer won't slow it down. For the record - it doesn't slow your phone down. But an application trying to update it's content when you have no need for it to every 5 minutes may be another story - depending on your wants/needs for it.

these apps are not running in the background. the android system keeps them at a ready state so that when you do have to access them you don't have to load the whole application. As for gtalk, thats part of your voice service. It is supposed to be running. You should really read the links in my post. JUST BECAUSE AN APP SHOWS UP IN RUNNING SERVICES DOESN'T MEAN ITS USING UP RESOURCES OR BATTERY! Go to the battery settings and see whats actually using your battery.
