Advanced Task Killer...yay or nay?
 

I've heard both good and bad about installing this on our Epics? What's everyone's thought about this and/or their experiences with it?

I am using it now but prefer the Express Task Manager Free app. It allowed you to kill at the services level. I had to factory default my Epic and could not find the Express Task Manager in the Android Market or AppBrain.

I use it and have no problems. It definitely helps keep free RAM and save battery life.

i use it but not sure wth it does, i kill apps but then then they come back hour later.

I also use it.. I keep the widget on my main home screen and tap it every once in awhile to close open apps.. Although I'm not really sure if this is necessary.. Android does a fairly good job of closing apps that are idle or not being used and managing memory.. I have heard that it is not at all necessary in Froyo due to better memory/task management.. this is just from things I've heard.. I was going to do a bit of research to see if this is the case and if it really even saves battery life. I am assuming since background tasks use little to no cpu that the amount of battery life saved would be minimal, if any...

Anyone have more knowledge/insight on this?

i have it installed, but never use it. i prefer the built in task manager. it only shows running apps that are using memory. i think when i start killing a bunch of stuff, my email stops checking and my maps and internet take a lot longer to load, so i pretty much dont jack with it.

I used it for awhile but I think Samsung's Program Monitor widget is a better solution. It tells me how many programs I left open and its an easy way to get to them and close them. I would forget to check ATK, and I think it actually slowed my phone down.
