i downloaded the advanced task killer app today and i noticed that apps randomly open up in the back ground like sprint nav and last fm..... whats the deal with that??

is there a way to stop them from opening up? i feel like i have to check whats open every hour now....

and is that the best task killer?

Most of us have decided that task killers are causing problems on the Hero. I would suggest not using one as some people stop getting text messages and phone calls after auto killing all apps. I suggest Task Manager, which will help you kill apps that need killing. I have not had any apps open on their own. Maybe check if task manager shows them and if it does I would hard reset. If it is the same again I would call Sprint.
