Can anyone pass on their favorite task killer app? Is one out there that is for the DROID X?

This topic has been asked and answered several times throughout this section of the community and the other DROID sections of the community. The search function works really well.

As for my favorite...my answer is, "Don't install one!"

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Had Task Killer, uninstalled it, noticed no difference in battery drainage. So, I agree with Ann154, you don't need one.

It all depends on how you use it.  I've been using ATK for most of the time I've had my phone and I like it.  However I wouldn't purchase one right now because....

Android 2.3 includes a task killer.  And from the sounds of it, the update is just a couple days/weeks away.  For all the talk the Android Devs made about the O/S not needing a Task killer, it's pretty odd they are now including them as a tool for the O/S.  
Also the Task Killer tool coming with 2.3 will show how much memory, processor power and battery drain each running app is consuming, both in their running state and background state.  I'm sure these revelations will show us why ATKs are so effective for some people like myself.

System Panel doesn't show the effects of the current or background apps on your battery.  The main point is that Android is supplying the task killer as a tool after preaching that it was not needed.

Thanks for the info. ANN sorry about that I spaced out was watching the FLYERS and after I hit enter, I kicked myself  for not going to the search first. Will take your advice and not going to install one.
