A task killer that works

[Needtoknow]

I would like to find a task killer that works anyone know of one? I am thinking about mobo task killer pro does anyone have it? I have had battery Dr and juice defender they didn't work.

I have read that task killers will damage your tab is that true?

What browser and OS? If you are on Gingerbread+ with at least 512MB you shouldn't need a task-killer at all IMO...

I have a mid7125 with Dolphin browser HD V7.0.2

Sorry, I meant "what tablet and OS". So if you have a 7125 you are on Gingerbread already, no need for a task killer in my opinion. If you think your device becomes sluggish after some time, you may want to install V6 Supercharger instead, but it requires enabling root on tablet.

Fwiw I don't use a task killer. What I do use is autokiller memory. It lets you set a preset and be done with it. Just changes the way android uses memory and marks thinks ready to close... great program and one of my must have apps. But u must be rooted to use it.

Also, if u are rooted the must have apps for me are;

Root explorer
Autokiller memory
Titanium backup
Adfree
Juice defender ultimate (only use on my phone)
Cachemate (again only on my phone)

Man!!! you have 512 MB and are worried about it?? If you have 512 MB you should use 512 MB, not use only 200 MB or 300 MB. If your SO has only 50 mb left and you need to play a game witch need 100 MB, don't worry, Android will take it from who isn't needed!

Thats amazing no?

So relax and use you tablet, don't worry with your memory, unless you have a alzheimer tablet/phone (like my Milestone, 256 MB )

So sad we talk like this.... my first computer had 16mb of ram. When I sold them for dell 11 years ago, 128mb was common and 512 was overkill.... then again the processors were half of what comes in these tablets.

Commodore VIC 20 with 5K memory booting into basic using a B&W TV as a screen.
Upgraded to a Commodore 64 with a whopping 64K memory.

Same tab we're looking at, hubby wants 512 in memory, and the other features of it are great too. I remember the TI-99 4/a Basic, that was the first computer I ever worked on. Had an Amiga 600 as my first computer, hubby had the Commodore 64, man those were the days eh? So on topic, does Gingerbread have a way to end processes/apps or do you have to reboot to end one if there is a problem? New to this but pretty excited about it.

Pamster. If you have es taskmanager installed you can use that to end the process or if another launcher is used besides the stock one. I use nemus Launcher and it has one included. I also use autokiller memory and I hover around the 180mb free.

I completely agree with lfom, but if you have your heart set on getting a task killer I'd get TaskKiller free, obvious from the name it's free on the Market. I have it installed and it works great. I haven't used it in the past 6 months, but if I ever need it to stop something that's gone crazy, it's there. Have fun!

Yes, ES Task Manager is a task killer, and Norton Utilities (from the Market) has a task killer. I also had a TI-99/4A, but my first commercial machine was an IBM 1401 maxed out at 16K memory!
