Well, it seems it’s true. I’ve been using one since the Symbian days. Without one my Sony-Ericsson P910i wouldn’t function. My next smartphone, the Sony-Ericsson P1i became sluggish in operation and would reset at the end of the day. Those particular Task Managers were quite specialized: they would automatically shut-down unused applications, double as file managers, etc.
And now, yes, it seems we suffer from a Placebo effect: we seem to need it. It “seems” because Task Managers are still good with shuting-down apps when you need the battery juice. They are good with switching between the Alps because my Task Manager Pro places an icon on the upper taskbar.
Truth being told, after reading the above article I went and fired-up the camera, then left it idle (see the picture) for a few hours. Sure thing it wasn’t there when I checked.
So I will uninstall it for a week and see how it goes. I’m interested in battery life especially.
