I realize I am late to the party, but also have problems with seeing all kinds of apps that need to be killed that (to my knowledge), I never opened- all the time!!! These apps do not appear opened on my factory installed task manager, just on ATK- ALL THE TIME!!!
My battery life was marginal before installation, but has BOTTOMED OUT after installing this app, not able to keep a charge for a full day now! I am not happy with this app, and am seriously considering removing…

an expert told me that the advanced task killer will cut my airtime costs considerably while someone else says it will not, can anyone confirm this one way or another?

All the task killers seem to be the same. kill a task wait 30 minutes and presto open the task killer and there are like 20 apps running all of which are ones I havent used . Yahoo messenger, mail, note pad the list goes on . I even had mine set to kill when screen is black or off that feature didnt even kill anything .
To be honest Im not all that happy with my HTC the battery bites . I bet I could get more power from plugging it into my ass.

I got this phone because my iphone 4 loved to drop calls well so does the HTC.

I set this to “crazy kill mode” and now I can use my Samsung Intercept without it being a pain in the ass. I really recommend this. Once I get VM OTA 2.2 installed I hopefully won’t need it.

I see a lot of people talking about this free”snake oil” app. I recommend you take your phone overseas and see how much data you get charged for… This app will shut down those bandwidth hungry apps that run your data usage charges into the $$$$$$$ range while you sleep. There is still a purpose…

I agree. I troubleshoot Droid phones all day, and have noticed that the Advanced Task Killer seems to cause firmware instability on Android platforms after the 2.1 release. Froyo has a decent native battery manager and application manager. There may be a better app out there–but Advanced Task Killer is definitely not it.

Best bet would be to uninstall the app or submit an issue ticket with the developer. Also, check to see what apps the program is set to “auto-kill” if it has that function. It might be automatically closing necessary OS operations which is the issue with using 3rd party task killers anyway.
