Advanced Task Killer...yay or nay?

Ok, I went ahead and uninstalled ATK. While I think it was doing a fine job, I just didn't think that it was doing the right job. It seemed to drain just a bit more of my battery and at this point I think I'd rather monitor the changes that I have made then to continue to tweak battery performance.....nomesayin.

late,

p.s., that article that DW posted was very interesting...good find my man.

Hmmmm...This is indeed a very interesting thread. I actually have both Juice defender and ATK installed and I get very great battery life. My thought was that ATK kinda sped up my device after killing apps. It seemed to scroll a bit faster and was more responsive and Juice defender extended my battery from 8 to 9 hours to about 14 to 18 hours. I might just uninstall both of them and see how my phone holds up. If any better or worse. I do have startup auditor installed which I rarely use. I might give auto start a try and see if it has any better features.
