I really like how someone comes, very politely might I add, to ask for peoples help, and the best reply? ".... Get over it". You guys ACT like you know whats what, but by your answers, you obviously don't. I'm not referring to everyone here, but to those who thing that the "Process Killer" doesn't really do anything and that after 10 minutes.,.. blah blah blah.
Do some real life testing please. Don't rely on articles and what other people say. TEST. I have the original "Process Killer" on my iPhone and iPads. As long as it is on my computer, I think I will continue to have it. I have bought new devices and sync with the same macbook pro and it always shows up on my new ipads. Now, to the correct stuff. The app shows you the PID, Process Name, Running Time, and Priority. I have the normal - in the background - type of stuff showing up as well as 7 apps. 6 showing opened for well over an hour and 1 of them for 9 minutes at time of testing. Wired Memory shows 518.8 MB, Active shows 270.6 MB, Inactive shows 131.4 MB and Free shows 68.4 MB. I go out and close the one that was open for 9 minutes which is around 12 something now. Launch Process Killer. It's not in there, but Wired memory goes down to 505.6, Active goes UP to 271.0, Inactive goes down to 130.1 and free goes up to 80.9. Memory is still almost full. I close every thing by double tapping the home button and making the icons shake and hit the minus to close out of everything. Open Process Killer. By the way, iPad is running a bit sluggish. 7 apple processes are running and here are the stats now respective to the above: 308.1 MB, 208.6 MB, 76.2 MB and 395.2 MB. Now, memory, doesn't matter what device it is in, doesn't kill all of its switches when it should. To make it easier to understand for the gurus, the 1s don't all go back to 0s when they should, thus here is where Process Killer comes in. Without shutting down the iPad, I "pull down" the interface to get PK to do its thing. Here are the respective results: (by the way, PK was killed in action while it was doing its job) Bring it back up and here you go: Wired 222.8 MB, Active 74.5 MB, Inactive 33.5 MB, and Free is now 655.5 MB.
Now if you keep track of the stats, Process Killer did its job. Based on experience, there have been apps that don't close out correctly or the programming wasn't the best and the app runs like crud. You can close it out and the iPad will run like crud still. Run PK and the iPad runs just fine.
Here is real world answers. Now, the question is Where can I get it now. I don't know, but I do know that the answer "... just get over it" isn't a good anser.Also, the answer that this app doesn't do anything really, is false.Again, before answering... do some real world testing. There are other apps that don't do this well, and that is why lots of people ask for PK. PK, for whatever reason, isn't offered anymore, but for all those people that say it is useless.... well, it makes me question any more of their advice... I'm not trying to be harsh. I don't hide behind a forum name. I say the same exact thing to people in person. Please, when people make a request, don't just go by hear say. Do some real life testing. Take care everyone.
