Why's my phone acting like an iFail?

[iviyth0s]

So recently I've lost the ability to multitask, specifically in the way I could jump around from open app to open app and have them still be open as opposed to "restoring" their last state.

It's really annoying and feels alot like an iPhone. If I'm surfing a website or two and go to the text messaging program it's a black screen as if the program had just opened for the first time.
Then if I go back to my browser, all my tabs will "restore" back which is essentially like reloading them all from scratch whereas before I could jump back forth to between the programs and pick right back from where I was without waiting for some "restoring" nonsense.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried different settings in autokiller but that didnt help either

Thanks in advance

best thing that you can do is download automatic task killer from the market and set it so every since app that you dont use is killed as soon as you turn the screen on and do you get the sense loading screen like 5 times a day

Ya thats the other thing, if I'm in my browser too long with alot of tabs and quit then sense reloads itself. I dont think a task killer is the answer, that'd be a step in the wrong direction I'm afraid

Are you running the stock rom or have you flashed a different rom? Either way I would try flashing and seeing if that helps at all.

well i dont know about the tabs because i mainly use 2 at a time but trust me the day that i didnt use the automatic task killer i was going crazy due to the lag and the sense reloading thing, give it a shot

I never needed one before though, and the problem is that things are closing to often already so a task killer would not at all help me (I'd need a task preserver )
I'll try reflashing the OS I guess, I haven't updated the ROM in a while

Flashing worked, well I changed roms anyway but I'm sure reflashing would have worked too!

Now I get to enjoy Froyo

in all honesty I may switch back, battery life has gotten worse and performance as well (and I'm overclocked to 730mhz). I don't think the Hero can handle Froyo too well
