im have google talk storage, gmail, alarm clock, messagin(iknoe i use tht one) calendar, voice dialer, and maps. I dnt even use these and they r using lots of memory nd Im new to the phone and battery drains a bit to quickly.

i havent gone on the internet or those apps listed. is there even a way to close an app once u’ve clicked rather than buyin this app?

I noticed yesterday even after I charged my phone from when it died to when it was full, left it on over night, 6 hours, and it was almost dead. Got the charge warning.

All I used today was ebuddy, and handcent, its still at about 75%. Didn’t know things stayed running, good to know.

Yea dont use any type of Task Killer they all have bugs. They do not work correctly, and it will also make your applications start even slower next time when opening them and will cause the phone to lag and use up battery.

I have been using a task killer or task manager since day one of having the phone and I have not had one problem .

I think I read on some forums that other people have been having the same issue, like for me the alarm clock always pop back up after I use the atk to close it. I don’t believe they have a fix on that but I read that you shouldn’t be too worried about memory issues hope this helps =]

@andranic – I’ve had my droid for only about a day now and I’m wondering if there’s a way to just end the app when you’re exiting out of it…I know that if you’re in a certain app and you just press the ‘home’ key it will keep the app running in the background, but if I just keep pushing the ‘back’ button until I get back to that home screen will it exit and shut down the app? – Does any of what I just asked make sense to you?

If open apps dont have any active tasks (such as facebook etc) it will NOT drain any battery. Closing open apps will only slow down your phone. Google it.

just get task killer and it shows you your open apps and then just click on them to end them
