Does you Nexus run better with or without a task killer?

Exclude most all of your frequently used apps and they were likely not going to be needed again anyways meaning you have done no harm to the memory management scheme as it pertains to battery life. Again, task killers should be used as tools to find and fix problems and increase convienience where applicable when you do have an app that does run in the background and uses battery you would prefer to save. This can be done without detriment to androids memory management so long as you use the tool in a reasoned manner.

To add on: Don't press that little button that says,'KILL ALL'!!! lol :D

around 24 hours? What kind of use do you give to your phone? mine lasts around 48 hours.

Mine last about 18 hours...I use 4 hours+ on wifi and an hour on the phone (big killer)

I was able to have it last about 38 hours with really very little use...2hrs of wifi...

I find it hard to NOT use Task Killer ...I always check to see what apps my phone is using, so when I see that there are apps that I haven't touched in days on the list...it annoys me so I end up killing them XD

4 hours+ on wifi, browsing? or just connected to wifi? Cos mine is connected to wifi as long as I'm home (+12 hours per day), but now browsing of course, as I have a laptop to do so.
