I too was seeing tons of apps running when I was using ATK. I guess I'm just used to the Windows Mobile days where things started getting sluggish when tons of programs were open at once. I havn't noticed a drop in performance so I guess i will just ignore it.

So, just because something is "running" according to a task manager, it dosent necessarily mean it's using any memory or cpu power. The Evo is a powerhouse anyway; why are u worried about these things? Go on and enjoy your nice new phone! :D
cuz i still feel my tp2 battery life was better... tho i didn't play wit it as much...idk if i'm justified yet LOL

I have to agree, I have apps mysteriously opening/running at various times too and they are apps i never use on my evo.

There was an older thread about this:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...+killer&page=2

In it, someone linked this article:

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-b...-with-android/

I've used a task killer since day one but after reading a few articles, I've stopped to see if I get better performance. After 2 days of not using a task killer, I see marginally better performance and no difference in battery life...

While these are good articles they don't seem to explain why programs we are never launching are suddenly running.

For example. True scenario. I killed all currently running applications with ATK. I press the power button turning off my screen and put my EVO in my pocket.10 minutes later I pull it out and hit the power button. I open gmail and see that I have1 email, I read it, back out of everything back to my home screen. I then open ATK and see that I now have 7 apps running! At least 2-3 of them I never use at all.

Any explanations?

Is it only ATK that says they are running? Maybe it is a false report.

I was thinking about that too, where else can I look to see if the apps are truly running?

This is after a 44 minute conference call for work... 37 text messages...email sync every 5 minutes on gmail & corporate mail (I only do this during work hours), listening to TI's whole im serious CD and 8ball & MJG's whole coming out hard cd, surfing the web randomly for about 40 minutes, fring logged in to yahoo, twitter, skype and probably about 10-15 messages on yahoo while sitting at my desk today... this is also WITHOUT ATK running. I'd say this is pretty damn good.
