i have brought this phone 1weak back and heaving a great problem some of the apps are using excessive ram and i have tried many task killing apps but they doesn't work can it be fixed by any method or i have to buy a new phone
I am using Advanced Task Kill Pro with excellent battery save benefits. What you need is an auto kill function that is within this above mentioned app.
In fact this was the very first app along with an app Screen Off that I installed on my phone.

You have to go in the app settings and create an ignore list for default android modules like for contacts and bluetooth etc. Rest all apps will be killed at the Screen Off event. Thereby reducing RAM and CPU and Display load very frequently. Also there is a setting to choose the Auto Kill level and frequency. There is also a security level wherein on setting low, it will kill almost all processes or apps except the bare minimum os modules to keep the phone running.
