So i just got the app and it is worth the money but im having issues with the fact that wen it automatically ends the tasks it ends my voice and data services as well so wen it does this i dont get calls or texts or anything. Does anyone have some kind of list of what apps and processes should be on the excluded no matter wat? I could really use this. Help please!

I used the free version of this for a few days and my phone did all kinds of wierd things. The battery life was terrible for one, and I have always been one to brag about not having those issues. Sometimes I would have the phone on the charger for hours and it MIGHT increase the battery 1-5%. Other times it would charge as normal. Luckily it was obvious which app was causing this for me. Why? I have no idea. I unistalled it, and it was isntantly better. I re-installed it, and the problems came right back.

The first night I installed this app, I put my phone on the charger at 11pm (like normal). I woke up at 7am, see that the led is green so I unplug it from the wall, and the battery is at 54%. After waking the phone up, I realized it was erroring out on the "end call" screen. Not only was it impossible for me to make a call, but I hadnt made a call to this person since owning the phone. His picture was on the screen like I had just hung up. I couldnt close it, and had to pull the battery.

Sorry for the long post. I dont have a clue why/how this app would cause me those problems, but it was pretty straight forward. Im back to just using Task Manager, and the phone is running perfect again.

Just wanted to quickly add to this that I had task manager on my droid. Yesterday at 7:45 p.m. (yes, I'm being geeky about this) I had my droid in my multimedia station and playing Pandora. All of a sudden everything went quiet. So I looked at my phone and took it off the station. ALL of my shortcuts and widgets were gone. All that was left was my wallpaper. Figured I would check here but didn't see anything with something similar posted. Thought everyone should know about this glitch. I took task manager off.
