    I will add that, sometimes apps do need to be closed but you can typically do that within the OS. You do not need a Task Manager to close apps, you can go to Settings > Applications > Running Services (may be different depending on OS version). From the menu you can press Force Quit.

  • no need for a task killer to do that Sheldon, just go into the normal settings :D Commented Sep 13, 2010 at 19:29
  • I found Advanced Task Killer (even with Ads) to be a nicer UI. However you don't need it. Stock android has all the necessary tools. Kinda same reason I use Uninstaller vs from the application menu, just easier. Commented Sep 13, 2010 at 21:31
  • @schwiz Sure, you can go to "Applications" and do a force stop and in fact that's all latest version of "Advanced Task Manager" does but it's nice to see the list of apps currently running instead of all apps. But for the most part the answer is you don't need a task manager. Commented Sep 21, 2010 at 23:12
