....stuck in his ways, like the Amish... Amish see cars and modern farm equipment and say "yeah thats cool, but id rather break my back on the farm and 10mph on this horse is plenty for me!"
Living in the heart of Amish country, I can tell you that ignorance is not why they reject modern conveniences. You don't have to agree with their choice, but you should admire their convictions.
Of course an Amish man has never claimed that a horse-drawn plow is more productive than a tractor and people should reject John Deere for a Clydesdale.![]()

Repetition of falsehoods is not a suitable replacement for logic.It looks like I need to repeat a couple of themes from this post (from me).
The assumption you're making is that killing apps on a regular basis is desirable. I just let my apps run. No problems here. No sluggishness. No battery life problems.I have never said Android needs a task killer to run or that it is a cure-all (panacea) for Android. But it does do a better job of killing apps than doing it yourself or simply letting Android do it alone.
You have yet to establish that regularly killing tasks is desirable for anyone but you.this case ATK does a better job of killing tasks than doing it alone or letting Android do it.
Not really. You're just restating it in the hopes that the people trying to reason with you will just get tired of arguing with you and that you'll "win" just by wearing people out instead of debating using reason, logic, and reputable sources.I am arguing that Android will run faster when you have most of the apps closed.
Once again, simply restating this doesn't make it true.Many people seek that ability to make their phones faster and improve battery life. ATK does both of these extremely well.
Actually, it could just be people like you insisting that it's necessary. When I bought my first Android phone, the MyTouch rep told me to install ATK. When my sister-in-law bought her first Android phone, the Verizon rep told her to install ATK. So it's very possible (in fact, probable) that sales reps are majorly responsible for ATK being a top download, and then people like you who are victims of the placebo effect continue to popularize the app despite its not actually improving battery life or performance and also possibly harming performance.The fast that it continues to be a top download on the Market would suggest that many/most phones users are not satisfied with Android alone.
Until one day you use facebook and while uploading pictures, and it gets killed.If you want to not interfere with other apps, add them to the ignore list). As I’ve said, ATK gives you a recommended list of processers and apps and I’ve added Ultimate keyboard, calendar, Lookout, and JuiceDefender.
From https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller&hl=en,ATK is often used to kill apps and clean memory. We do suggest people use ATK manually kill apps instead of auto killing apps.
I don't know what is hansschmucker definition of 'running'
With this definition, many running apps make you slow. But if these apps are running for a purpose, what's the point of killing them!Running: An application that is currently executing some action. Usually happens when an application is focused or right after being notified (for up to 10 seconds). May happen briefly after an application has been pushed into the background.

Perhaps you don't want multi-tasking.
Edit: I believe android will give higher priority to user focused app. So that users still feel fast and responsive.
? Android is not multi-tasking?I really don't want it, which is why I'm so grateful that Android usually doesn't do it
Android is really an attempt to bring single-tasking "PalmOS style" to Linux. Just enhanced with something resembling virtual memory. Every app is usually "open", but only one is "running", except when there's a notification. That's pretty much exactly what PalmOS did
Until one day you use facebook and while uploading pictures, and it gets killed.![]()
anyhow. im out, this is ridiculous.
What's the meaning of this.?Ok, you changed my mind. Task killers are very useful if your last name is Weiner.
You do have *services*.
The phones I mentioned are dual-core, therefore they multi-process, as well as multi-task obviously. As for degradation of performance I think this has been covered. People don't see performance degrading. You're flogging a dead horse here I'm afraid.
