The Halloween wallpaper is really cool, but my HERO doesn't support it. I guess it's just as well...........they're resource hogs.

[Flamingneedles]

i cant wait for WP7 :)... kinda off the subject but i had to get that out there haha

[hotboy8628]

@wodeci wuts gud man

[mnguyea]

Boo...you should not be advocating the task killers. Google and others have shown that you do not need task killers. Froyo has pretty much disabled this. The phone is smart enough to know how to utilize memory without you killing it. Secondly, for a novice user it can create a bad experience with Android.

[11415]

@mnguyea it helps you save battery power

[PoetryRocksAlot]

@mnguyea yeah, android is the first time I don't need a task killer on an OS.

[rooopppi]

When you get HTC Desire HD?

[da1krayziethug]

shouldnt tell people to get a task killer unless you really know how they work...

[Alishaikh94]

[vindication84]

[pocketnowvideo]

The live wallpaper is called Halloween Live Wallpaper it's $0.99 on the android market

[MySpaceKing713]

Dude, when you have nice wallpapers like that, you need to mention them too!

[MelvinSF]

On newer phones killing apps usually just means they have to be restarted next time you open them, while they don't slow the phone down when kept in memory - meaning the phone will actually feel slower.

Sometimes you might want to kill an app, so you could use ATK for that.. But personally I'd rather use Autokiller (requires root), which you can use to tweak Android's internal memory management. Keeps my (lagfixed) SGS blazing fast.

[SonicManEXE]

You've got it all mixed up. Not much memory on Android is good because if you switch to an app that you opened a few minutes ago it will run it faster because it's still being run on the memory. If you could do this on computers, this would be great, but it's not for Android.

[thetechman123]

whats that live wallpaper called?

[pocketnowvideo]

My Galaxy S was stolen in July. I know who did it, where they live and everything but the police wouldn't do anything :-(

[hal752]

@pocketnowvideo ermmm Go to the house with a few mates and steal it back? Then get a big stamp and stamp there face with pocketnow?

[DJYPP3]

@pocketnowvideo Why dont you try confronting them about it, and great choices for the apps.

[DJSpartin121]

@pocketnowvideo So go to their house and fuck their shit up and take your phone back!

[barlerer]

@pocketnowvideo Go and murder them. i bet they are black-people.

[jharper74]

@barlerer kind of racist don't you think?

[jagjagin]

@barlerer dumb asshole, go kill yourself

[D5hufflerR]

@pocketnowvideo take it to court man,

judge judy had something similiar.

girl pushes her best mate into the pool and her phone was on her. Girl who pushed her didn't want to buy her a new one. Then they sort it out so girl who got pushed won.

[PoetryRocksGadgets]

@pocketnowvideo incompetent asses

[coster18]

sry for broken english....

[pokerrus78]

Whats that live wallpaper?

[iMiguelAOG]

N1? really?

[Oweboy1960]

@iMiguelAOG

What's wrong with the Nexus one?

[iMiguelAOG]

@Oweboy1960 horrible touch screen everyone shows it when its old and i'm sick of it, use a phone like galaxy s

[ipodgrey2]

@iMiguelAOG the galaxy s has a faulty file system and its build quality and materials are just bad, apart from the screen and the graphic it's comparable to the nexus, which is less than a year old and still one of my favorites 

[iMiguelAOG]

@ipodgrey2 idgaf wat u say i think the nexus one is used too much in android videos, the galaxy s is great the build quality and materials are also great, it beats the nexus one by alot, except for n1 havin froyo but wen galaxy s has froyo its gunna be the best phone, depends on which verison of the galaxy s has

[ipodgrey2]

what's the name of the wallpaper?

[hotboy8628]

ATK kills battery life in 2.2 because the apps will restart itself in a few mins

[Gurksallad10]

@hotboy8628 wow you are stupid... you need it on to save battery, why would you even want to close it!? it turns off other battery draining programs -.-

[hotboy8628]

@Gurksallad10 i'm talkin about apps it kills dumbass not the actual ATK, on 2.2 the apps it kills wont stay off and will constantly start back up which in turns drains battery... so watch wut the fuck you sayin and do your ya research

[S69NER]

nice video can u dont one for the best pop up messaging app besides handcent sms

[Majrek]

did they increasee time for each quick review ?

[buMitch333]

dont use ATK

[HumanOFtheWeek3000]

@buMitch333 Then use what? there is no possible way to close my background running apps but with ATK

[buMitch333]

@HumanOFtheWeek3000 you don't need it, android is built to automatically manage what is running and what is killed. used to use ATK and it killed my battery got rid of it and great battery

[ihazname]

nothing interesting
