Maintenance Apps for Samsung Galaxy S2.

I use "Advanced Task Manager". Make sure you periodically kill all apps you're not using. They drain your battery and honestly i think half of them are spyware. I've noticed facebook likes to continue running in the background even after you kill it. WHat a friggen virus. Each of these processes eats up a little memory, a little battery, a little bandwidth, but it all adds up.

Sorry to contradict the previous poster but you do not need a Task killer with Android and in particular the Samsung Galaxy SII.
Here's why:-

Possibly one of the best app's to consider would be Android System Info, free from the Market. See here:-

Hope this helps.

Task killers actually eat up more battery power than the save. Android has a habit of loading lots of things into memory, although, they just take up memory. If you kill these apps off, android will just reload them. Android will automatically kill apps if it determines that it needs the memory if your actually using an app.
It's a useless game off cat and mouse, that your battery life will suffer the worse for.

It's been a while, but thanks for a very informative post (the entire thread was very helpful).
