http://androidforums.com – Hello group, Is there an Android task killer that will prevent apps from running at all? I've used Advanced Task Killer and Optimize Toolbox, with no success. Maybe that is why people root their phones...? Thank you, jscbet (General)

How to REALLY close apps 32 weeks 1 day ago

Some apps continue to drain the battery even after it is closed. For example, I have the app Wikitude showing up as sucking up 12% under Settings -> Battery. I did the hold home button 2 seconds and swipe app to right side to close. I also tried closing the app with the task killer app Advanced Task Manager.

Read a fascinating article on Lifehacker about this. The link is below and I recommend reading the body of the article. The part that I find most interesting is:

Hey everyone,

I have a Galaxy S3 which is rooted but running stock 4.0.4.

I'm aware that low available memory is a good thing and not bad for Android, but sometimes I have apps closing, then later re-opening, even if they have an icon in the notification bar.

Available memory usually ranges around 60-120mb and I'm not running a task killer.

Can anyone help?

Help saving Battery Power 12 weeks 2 days ago

My phone lasts for a good amount of time, but I checked today and one of the apps that's using around 34% of battery is Facebook. Even though I use a task killer to stop it it re-opens in the background using up battery power (even when I'm signed out). Is there anyway to prevent apps from doing this w/o being rooted? If there are apps that can help feel free to let me know please.
