Do I need really need a task killer?

I am using samsung S2 with beast mod, i just want to have more battery life.

base on the following explanation.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6426198

kill the apps doesn't really help for the battery life.

is it true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:
No. Google search about task killers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
That link is correct. Infact task killers in some instances can actually have a negative effect on battery life. People who use them or are always concerned with how much free ram they have do not understand how linux, and android memory management works. Its nothing like windows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hinghing1113:
thank you.

I am going to uninstall the task killer then.

by the way, what about the juice defender.

I saw some posting saying don't use juice def if i am on a custom ROM, since it will conflict each other, something like that
[General Questions and Answers] dpt420k:
Hello Forum,

I have been searching the net for everything related to a true hands-free bluetooth headset and cannot find one. I am looking for one with a2dp technology, voice-dialing, voice-answering, and the ability to connect to multiple devices at once.

The best that I have found are ones created by BlueAnt however it requires that you hit a button on the headset to activate the voice dialing feature.

I even found a switch that could be added onto the bluetooth but it cost around $300, which is ridiculous.

I am looking for something completely voice-activated as I am in a power wheelchair and hate having to stop driving to either call somebody or answer a call. It is hard for me to reach for my ears. I even tried looking for a combination of app and bluetooth but to no avail. I have the HTC Evo running android version 2.3.3.

Hope somebody can find me a solution.

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] Dextis:
What you are looking for may be hard to find because while our tech has jumped by leaps and bounds in some places (voice recognition for instance), it has stayed relatively the same in others, namely battery tech. Your phone and your bluetooth device, could it be found, would die very quickly were they both to be constantly listening to and interpreting voice commands.
[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
I have just upgraded my home internet to 30meg with the virgin superhub 'N' rated router. I know the sensation is 'n; rated but I only get about 10meg though my wifi. Is there anyway I can get it any faster?
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
I think you'll find that almost all devices in the world loose around 50% of connection speed when connected via Wi-Fi. There are so many other waves such as neighbors Wi-Fi signals that interrupt with your Wi-Fi signal.

You could try the following method to get improved speed out of your Wi-Fi, however it MAY slightly decrease your battery levels.

Press Menu (Haptic Key) > Select Settings > Select Wireless & Networks > Select Wi-Fi Settings > Press Menu (Haptic Key) > Select Advanced > Tick The Box 'Best Wi-Fi Performance' > You are done!

Although the above method may not necessarily work, it's certainly worth a try. I have a 38 MB/s Connection from BT. On my phone I can only get 14. Wireless devices always have and probably always will have the problem of interference. Tell me if this helps.
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Strange - I have a 12 MB line and get 12 to my phone (802.11 g)
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
Depends on a lot of things. In your area your Wi-Fi may be on a different channel to everyone else's in your area. There may be less signals that can interfere with your Wi-Fi. I just know that if I do a Speedtest on my Ethernet I get 36/8MB where as on Wi-Fi It's a lot less.

Maybe the phone has a certain threshold it cannot increase speed on?
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
I thought it was suppose to be 1Gig of Ram why does mine say 2Gig LOL.
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
It does have 1 gb ram, that is the phones memory. The phone also provides 2 gb worth of app memory for the installation of your on-device apps. I'm sure that is what your looking at.

Find your ram usage by opening the built in Task Manager and your app memory by going to settings, SD and phone storage.
[HTC Rezound] Xtreme Outcast:
Are You Sure You're Looking At RAM And Not Internal Storage?
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
I'm sure I made an idiot post LOL sorry.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Lol thanks that made my day.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
No problem :D.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
That we all can agree on? Just imagine your next phone. Are you going to settle for less than 4.65"? Well are you? Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craighwk:
It's really weird, any time someone let's me use their iPhone (or similar sized screen), I always remark at how ridiculously small it looks. I don't see myself ever getting a phone that has a smaller screen.

I saw a phone coming soon (already out overseas) that has a 5.something screen. Thing is a beast, but looks fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
it was probably the galaxy note. that thing is too big. i've seen people holding dell streaks up to their face and i had to run the other way i was laughing so hard. it was like they were talking to a book in public. all nonchalant and ****. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I don't really consider it a 4.65" since I rarely watch videos, which is the only time it actually uses it.

However, I don't think I can go back to hardware keys, these virtual keys are just gorgeous and makes the overall phone feel very futuristic and sleek.

Once you go big though, you can't go back :D, I was actually wanting the Note, too bad it didn't have pentaband (the ONE thing that is stopping me from getting the note :mad:). Hopefully Note II will be just like Nexus - just bigger and has t-mobile radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craighwk:
Heh yah, I think that's the one. It looks totally ridiculous, but I want one in a weird way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmfareed:
Quality sucks

For me, Galaxy Nexus quality sucks!

Day one the volume bug!

Then, my phone arrived and applied the fix. After that I'm getting reboots every time I get a missed call, and every time I try to make a call! I haven't installed any software on it. It is just faulty out-of-the-box!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Devhux:
I'm reminded of when I had my Galaxy S phone. After having its internal SD card fail, I had to go back to my HTC Touch while waiting for the replacement.... going to Windows Mobile 6.1 was bad enough.... but dropping down to a 2.8" display was even worse.

When I had my S II, I noticed how much smaller a 3.7" display was as well. Let's just say I hope my current phone doesn't die anytime soon. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulW21781:
It is a full Google Update (from there Firmware pages as mentioned in Post #1) However, I've split out the bootloader AND Radio ROM from this release, as people have a tendancy to pick&choose what they want installed. Also, regarding Radio, there are different Radio's for different countries, and results vary regarding what baseband and bootloader you install.

You can update bootloader or Radio easy enough (link in Post #1) and in doing so, it won't relock or unroot your Nexus.

As soon as the 4.0.3 OTA's have been released I'll get it sorted!

Going to be concentrating on my own AOSP-flavoured ROM soon though, which will have a few modifications on to suit my own needs (I will release it though, but it will probably remain feature locked/have a few customisation options here&there)

Constant reboots

Strange with happened to me last night, may or may not be ROM related.

I put the phone on charge, after about 5 mins, I noticed it was constantly rebooting. It'll get pass the initial screen with the padlock, then as the colourful bits was flying around, it will reboot and start again.

I could get into recovery and Odin mode. Removing the battery didn't make any difference. In the end I had to flash the Stock 4.0.1 ROM back on to get it to boot again.

May I move from this rom to stock 4.0.4 by using the following script with keeping all user data and apps?

Actually, Deodexed system apk do not affecting the content of "user data", everything should be compatible.

------------------------------------------------------------

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot update image-yakju-imm76d.zip

------------------------------------------------------------
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
I think if you go with fastboot update with the whole zip, it will flash userdata.img which wipes internal storage (/sdcard), apps and app data.

Since this ROM was based on yakju 4.0.2 you should be fine updating straight to 4.0.4. Take a nandroid backup first anyway just to be safe.

I suggest you open up the zip and individually flash just system.img and boot.img from fastboot. Bootloader and radio are optional - it should work with what you have already, but feel free to experiment. Then go into Clockwork Recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then flash a superuser zip in CWM before booting into the ROM so that it's pre-rooted, if you want it to be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wunit:
Thanks All! Everything go smooth from this deodexed rom back to official 4.0.4

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Ok so I have a Galaxy S II for AT&T and I wanted to get the Galaxy Nexus for the hardware acceleration, HD screen, and new OS so I went to Verizon today to check it out. Here is what really turned me off to the phone:

1) YouTube videos are still blurry or pixelated even though the video was in HD. The videos looked better on my phone.

2) The browser is choppy and stuttery. I went to a blog with portraits on wordpress and the Nexus was very stuttery and was not smooth like my GSII. My GSII scrolled down and up the page fine with no lag, buttery smooth.

3) The screen isn't as nice as I thought. My GSII has a lower resolution but it didn't appear that much different to me when comparing. For pictures anyways it seemed like the pictures were soft and when I compared them to my phone I couldn't tell that much of a difference.

Just my take on it. I'm disappointed because I was going to buy the phone on eBay and I was a proponent for the phone but in the end I was let down. Even more happy with my GSII now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Regulus49001:
Ever think that the slowed performance could be caused by a bunch of people fondling the phone all day? Also display models are chock full of crap...just a thought
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Had an SGSII International on ATT.

Couldn't eBay it fast enough ($500) three weeks ago after my GNEX arrived.

Different strokes, I guess. Touchwiz and low resolution is for the birds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
did you ever stop and think that the videos you see on youtube on your gs2 that look better and native 480p and the ones you watch that are 480p on the nexus might not look as good as the 720p videos on the nexus. big big difference. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craighwk:
It's likely the Youtube was set to low quality. My screen looks stunning. I upgraded from a Thunderbolt which had a decent screen of it's own, but this is lightyears beyond better.

The video I watched was crisp, clear, and had that HD "3d" effect you will see on high quality screens.

The browser is the most responsive I've seen on a phone yet.

The phone has quirks (choppy in some areas), but to say the screen is a reason for concern is beyond my comprehension.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
It was 720p, I know because I watched a video I uploaded. Maybe it wasn't set on high quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Go to Martisphotography.wordpress.com and scroll through and see if it's stuttery. It was when I tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
I'm running ICS'd Out with a ICS theme. I paid 96 cents for my gsii. I'd have to spend $700 for the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] verboten:
I have stutter when scrolling down after the site fully loaded. Back up was smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] platinumrims:
With the exception of the HD screen (and ICS) isn't the gs2 better in hardware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
GSII has a slightly better GPU, but the TI Omap has proven to be a beast. That's the only thing the GSII has over the Nexus (and maybe the browser in the GSII)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jopherr:
people are forgetting that the Galaxy Nexus isn't the "new" flagship phone from samsung. the galaxy nexus is the "new" flagship for the Nexus line of phones. The galaxy SII is still the flagship for the Galaxy S line of phones. they both have their pro's and con's, but it is only worth buying if you are coming from a last gen phone rather than a current flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
Try it when it's loading the page. I went to the site and started scrolling while the pictures are loading. Did it on the GN and GSII, a lot of stutter on the GN, none on the GSII.

I really want the HD screen but I think I'll just sell my GSII and get the GSIII when it comes out next year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Seriously.....I went with my brother in-law 9am this morning to get this thing....its pretty damn sweet in every respect.....people can slam it all they want but one thing holds true......if you have Verizon....THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PHONE THEY HAVE PERIOD. No other phone has the display the Nexus has....hardware is better than ANY other phone they have.....this ain't up for debate....if you PREFER something else, so be it.....but you are definitely not upgrading to anything better than this. For every bad thing you can say about this phone, I can say five about any other device in Verizon's complete gimick line up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
This. The GN and the GS2 are pretty much in the same league. If you already have a GS2 and don't care much about being on the bleeding edge of Android it's not really worth it to switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I kept my SGSII for two days after receiving my GSM GNEX to decide (3 weeks ago).

It was a no-brainier. I sold the SGSII as fast as I could. My thoughts, at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Well said. (And since I'm coming from an HTC Thunderbolt, it's safe to say the GN is an upgrade for me, haha).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
All the lag issues are pretty well nullified with enabling hardware acceleration.

Did the device the op was testing actually had "Use Gpu 2d accel in apps" selected in dev options? Why all the hate?

Buy whatever you want. Or can afford.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Ditto. Bought a Nexus, the day it arrived I sold my GS2. Haven't thought once about the GS2 since giving it the boot. Nexus is the ****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troubleshot:
im gunna give it a few weeks before passing judgement. I also need to try the dolphin hd browser it seems to run faster than others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [GO]Bobster:
i don't have hardware acceleration checked and i can browse that blog and mine without any stuttering issues (ICS 4.0.1)

i also just watched the Expendables 2 trailer on youtube in HD and that looked great..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macfre:
And how it's connected with the stock Browser? That option is only for apps that don't enable hardware acceleration in their manifest file. It forces them to use it, and makes many applications actually crash, including latest Twitter.

ICS stock browser has pretty UI and nice functions like syncing bookmarks with desktop Chrome, saving offline pages or requesting desktop version of the page, but definitely it's not the fastest, or smoother, browser out there. And it's got quite ugly text formatting issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossover37:
That's interesting. It was very apparent when using it today. I tested it out for a few minutes and it was surprising how jerky it was. In regards to the trailer, maybe I had to select HQ, I thought it would have been turned on by default.

Like I said I want the phone but smoothness is key to me and if my GSII can browse my blog without any hiccups and the GN can't, that's an issue.

One reason I created this thread is to see what others had to say because I want to think otherwise about the GN.
