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.
you can always go back bro and i also killed some widgets that update all the time, not killed them but there not widgets just open from start menu or whatever droid calls it. lol

I have been using advanced task killer, but have not noticed an increase in battery life.

I tried disabling my task killer for a few days and it seems my battery life was a little worse. I can typically get through a full day without charging though without atk I was needing to charge around 5pm. Maybe a coincidence but I have gone back to using it. I experience no ill consequences from doing so, so I guess I'll just keep with it and juice defender.

Re: Advanced Task Killer...yay or nay?
Okay, so I updated to the DI18, did not install juice or the task killer........AND........My battery life is fabulous!!! I took it off the charger at 8 this morning and its now 10:03 pm and I still have 2 bars (checked from the camera). I took it off the charger and made a few calls. Downloaded some games. Tried them. Uninstalled some of them. Played some other games I have while waiting in line at the zoo. Took pictures of every animal I seen and a few more extras. Made a few more calls, now Im home and am playing some games online and I cant believe I havent gotten the battery low pop up!! I am Very impressed with this. I do not see a need for juice or task killer either. Thanks Darren for the input and help.
