Do applications/games end when closed?

[G1Mike]

I was wondering..when you're playing a game or using an app..and you press the home key..does the app/game actually end or is it somehow still running..i was thinking maybe thats why the battery life is so bad sometimes..maybe there's a way to end all apps/games..not sure..if anyone has any info.. help out

nothing ever ends it just suspends to the background there is currently no way to end programs hopefully someone is working on a taskmanager type program.

Well that answers my question.

I thought there was a task manager type program?? I haven't downloaded it yet. Does it not work??

[rzm61]

There is a task switcher program, it's kind of like the Alt-Tab (PC) / Command+Tab (Mac) feature.

Ahhh... so your saying you can't END TASK with the Task Switcher program???

Yeah, pretty much.
They might fix that though, a lot of people keep talking/asking about a 'kill app' feature.

maybe just reboot the phone after using a lot of apps/games?

That's what I've been doing. I restart it each night before the charge cycle. Seems to help if you were starting up tons of programs (for personal entertainment or showing off to friends, hahaha)

This would make sense as to why i have to charge my phone at least twice a day.... If not more......

Really sucks..... How could they have overlooked something like this.....


Actually, now that i think about it...... Something like this should be out quick enough. Maybe they saved production costs by leaving all the small things to be developed by others.........lol
