Does X10 have Shake Control in MediaScape like W910? I use that feature a lot and it's big drawback if X10 doesn't support it. It's not dealbreaker, but would be big disadvantage.

I don't really bother with the Autokill since someone on here explained that the OS doesn't really require us to do so. I'm not convinced it helps the battery life by killing apps using Auto task killer, although every now again I will clear tasks manually. For extended battery life I'm simply ensuring any wireless controls aren't left running - and the screen which seems to be the main consumer.
I wish they would release the battery fix already.

I have used the X10 with task killer and without for a number of days...
I have not noticed any real difference in the battery consumption...

@caff111,
With android you donnot need to use a task killer. The OS controls all of this. Read on of my previous post, it explains it. Or just do a google search about the Android OS and applications running in background.

so there is no point in using task killer?
Also, I am using handcent SMS app at the moment and when I received sms, i would get 1 sms from handcent sms and 1 from android messaging. How do I deactivate the android messaging? Thanks

Not really there is no point..But if you wanna have there just to end something here and there cool, just dont get all OCD on it. Heres what I wrote in my previous post....The Android system free up space when its needed, and puts things in the background on idle when not in use (not using batt). Dont get me wrong, I kill some task here and there. I have excellent battery life on my X10 as I have stated in previous post. I just want for those who dont understand or use to how Android works, dont get all caught up in killing apps all day, every sec of the day. Its not worth it. I hope this helps clears up some of the confusion.
"Android is different to most other phone operating systems. It's closer to Linux than any other type of operating system. Lots of services and applications constantly run in the background just like they do on Windows. However, and this is important, they do not have to use up a ton of resources. A service or app can be loaded, yet use almost no additional memory, and 0% CPU until it actually has to do something.
In general, killing off stuff is a waste of time. Android automatically asks apps to close that aren't needed when it needs more memory. Killing off some of the processes you are killing off also means it'll slow your phone down, as these processes only need to reload, and when you do need to use them it means the phone will be slower for the few seconds it takes to reload them."

@caff111,
now about the handcent, i dont use that anymore but when i did, for me it seems like either when I recieved or sent a text msg..a notifcation came on screen asking "which text style I wanted" It said Handcent or Android (Stock default)...I chose Handcent and then checked the box that said "dont ask again". And that did it for me...but i cant remeber what made that notification came up, it was either I sent one and it came up or I recieved one..

go to the default android messaging app and in the settings you can turn off the notifications...
not sure about the no need for task manager comment.. in theory i guess that's how it works but i find that once the ram starts getting low.. goes from 100mb to about 28mb.. i start getting lag issues and apps not wanted to behave.
on my old magic and hero.. the keypad would start lagging to the point of being unusable.. hasn't happened on my x10 though..
after updating to the r1f firmware.. i'm not having any battery issues anymore.. it's pretty good now..
