Do people still use third party task killers since the release of Android 2.2? While the default task manager can kill tasks running in the background, it doesn't seem to have the ability to auto kill services running in the background. I don't like the fact that applications leave services running even after the application has been closed. In order to maximize battery life I think an auto task killer is necessary although Google appears to advise against using such apps. Some apps even seem to randomly start a service running in the background even before they are opened such as the Amazon App store. What are other people's opinion on using third party task managers to auto kill background services?
