  I'm not sure which is worse: that Advanced Task Manager fixes a problem in Android or that it's a placebo.

    The problem with the backgound taskS is that we don't how how much battery they drain. I found out , for instance, that GoogleTalk is a huge battery drain. I have a FM radio on my device and this one really sucks. It simply won't stop and drain the battery in a few hours. The GUI is crapy too any way. So I don't use it. The key problem people are fighting for is to save battery life time. This is the only reason people are using this software. Backups and such are not as much a problem. Any software that will contribute to save the battery lifetime will be a hit. An equivalent of the unix top for instance. The battery life time is the nuisance number one on smart phones. This is why the iPad is a master piece and all these me too players are a joke regarding this. It's the energy, stupid. HTC is apparently planning to release devices with faster cpu. What's the point if the phone can't run more than 6h with a GPS app, even if continuously connected to the cigar plug? Bluetouth enabled because of driving. The result is that I end up restricting my use of the phone to save battery and this is frustrating and not smart (phone). So looking around to find means to save battery, the ATM app pops up immediately and it worked for me. I could extend battery lifetime from 1 day to three days by keeping it clean.
