after update apps start by themselves after being killed

[scoob2215]

Before the update, when I would use the advanced task killer, the apps that I had killed would not run or start until I would use them again.  Now after the update, after I kill apps, or when my screen shuts off I have apps that I wasn't using suddenly running and the task killer doesn't seem to kill them.  I also have a friend that is having the same issue.  Does anyone have any ideas or the same issue

Yes, I have the same issue. Is there a patch for this yet? It is very annoying as it uses up my battery much faster.

i hate the new update. sooo many things running in the background now that it runs my battery life out in half a day.  doesnt matter if i force close the applications because they just restart themself.  ALSO when i try to txt the screen doesnt automaticaly adjust to direction phone is held.  i find myself SHAKIN phone...not that that helps either

I have the same problem and I am extremely irritated by it. I loved my phone before the update and wish I could go back to 2.1.  What should I do?

I have the same thing happening.  These are the programs that keep starting themselves in the background even though I never open them.  Are these the ones that you have starting?

Amazon MP3

VZNavigator

Skype Mobile

Yes, those 3 are the questionable ones. I want to know:

1) Why do they need to start (are they tracking/recording/monitoring something)

2) What starts them, and how.

3) Why does Verizon allow this questionable behavior.

I have the same problem and it kills battery life instead of saving it.  Wasn't that the point of the task killer...??? Seriously, how much money did I pay and keep paying for something that isn't  working correctly.  Sounds like someone needs to get new IT geeks and get this crap fixed NOW!!!

Same problem, very annoying.  I would really like to see something done.

In the 2.2 (Froyo) update, ATK's are not needed. Google's developers have created the Android OS to close applications that are not being used once memory levels/resources get low enough. ***Many ATK's are going to have the same issue (killing an application, and it restarting itself). The Froyo (2.2) update had caused this to happen with the ATK's however; this is working as it was designed.

Hope this helps!

Morgan, you just contradicted yourself.  If they designed it so that we do not have to have ATK's, then why do we still have apps running that we do not want to.  Apparentaly, you must know what everybody is complaining about.
