I have task killer, does it kill battery?

I have task killer, does it kill battery?

Yes, and slows performance

 

[rastaman]

If it's not too difficult and/or complicated, can someone explain how to configure which apps and/or programs need to run and which ones don't? And how to turn them off from running every day when I start the device?

 

[DF Smod]

Just let Android take care of that, this is what the O/S is designed to do

 

[rastaman]

For instance, Swype and Social Networking and a bunch of other stuff I don't use was running.. How can I keep all that stuff from starting?

 

[DF Smod]

Android starts processes for a reason, when it needs the extra space it stops processes that are not needed, you just have to trust that the system knows better than you, there is a video around here somewhere from google that explains how the system works and why these task managment applications are not needed

 

[rastaman]

I understand, but do I need Swype running if I don't need it?

 

[DF Smod]

Probably not, and when the system needs that space it will stop Swype itself, if you go in with a task killer and perform that action for the system you are actually working against yourself

I've avoided downloading any Task Killers and/or unnecessary (IMO) programs.
