I had a link in the FAQ that went to some article about why task killers should be avoided, but I think that gives a bit more information why and delivers the message a little better.

Welcome to the forums!
It's a placebo, you have something mis-configured.
Please read this thread and its links.
ATK is the worst thing you could for your 3vo or any phone - friends don't let friends use it.
I'm getting over 50% battery left over after 16 hours of light-medium use - no task killing at all, no special tricks - just sensible configuration.
Nothing personal - but you're doing it wrong.
Excellent link! Thank youPretty good place for a commercial about fixing sync issues, dontcha think?
Question / answer 2.02 here - http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-3d...aq-having-trouble-your-evo-3d-click-here.html
I'm using none of the old Evo data/sync tricks, fwiw, and no power/config-controlling widgets. (I put the sync widget and shortcut on my desktop when I got this thing - have never used it - glad you mentioned it, I'm so used to seeing it on my desktop I didn't notice it was there. Two slots free - w00!)
so where is this magic "sensible configuration" you talk about?
Is it a bad idea to have a task killer from market along side the native task killer? I dont see any settings on the native task killer to kill tasks when I turn the screen off like there is on market task killers. Will they interfere with eachother?
Welcome to the forums! And Android!
This phone has 1 GB of ram, in addition to the internal storage, and the 8th GB sd card is exactly analogous to a hard drive - or - a USB stick.
The SD card and internal storage will perform so closely for load times that I doubt that you could see a difference. Everything executes in ram, regardless of where it started out from, so once loaded, all apps are the same and equal in that sense.
Moved your post here.
What gives is the ram report is appropriate and ram is being used by any app reporting it. No two will never agree - they can't.
To see why to stop task killing, read this thread.
Hope that helps.
