Some of you warn against Task Killers. For many reasons I do not agree with and a few that I do agree with. One person told me that you waste battery life running task killers and I am not so sure the amount of power it takes to close an app is all that big.
So this AM, my phone slowed down. Was not sure why, so I ran a Task Killer and I discovered that some of the apps I ran earlier are still running. The music app, a wallpaper app, the Market, camera, gmail, and one other.
This happens, or so I think, because I open an app and hit the Home key rather than back out of the app using the back key.
Feel free to correct me, if this is not how it works.
So my general query is: some of you say to delete task killers, but what if you have lots of apps loaded (and you do not intend them to run after you are done with them) and it affects performance? What other way is there to kill running apps without using the dreaded task killer?
