Don't believe the hype- you need 2 task killers

I pre ordered the ALLY for my wife Monday and she received it thursday.
By this morning it was functioning like Betty White! and she was getting a lot of error messages about memory.

So slow i was going to return it.
I took it to the vzw store and now i'm a true believer in task killers.

Up to now i've been a member of the 'no task killer necessary' club.
Well the vzw tech tech put installed 2 task killers and the phone is blazing again.

1. Auto task killer- he disabled all of the apps on ATK1 that she uses often (email, messaging, etc...)

2. Advanced task killer- those above apps still need the ability to be killed so the automatically enter ATK2


If you have an ally that has slowed like ours- do the above.

BTW, he is a droid owner like me (unrooted) and put the same stuff on my phone and it's faster too!
 
Utter and complete, the ally's are actually pretty zippy, they use the same processor as the Moto Droid. One task killer to rule them all if any. Usually there is one app in particular that is the culprit, just need to be a little more aware of whats consuming your resources. In my case my Droid just inexplicably became ten times slower and come to find out the Wiimote_ime was starting at boot and slowing the whole system down. Disable it at start and Im back to normal.
