Mininicholls 09-02-2010, 02:15 PM when i click and hold the home key, it always shows the apps that are still open, but im also worried when i use the internet and i come off it but its still open im goin to get charged for this. systemX 09-02-2010, 02:42 PM The home button shows what apps you last used. Some may or may not be "closed". If you want an app to exit "properly", you don't force kill it with any task killers. You just leave it, and let the OS deal with it. Please read the links below to understand more why it was done like this. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2010/05/when-to-include-exit-button-in-android.html http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#proclife http://www.droid-life.com/2010/05/19/google-blame-poor-apps-for-poor-battery-life/ Mininicholls 09-02-2010, 02:59 PM so basically when im usin the internet, and press the return key it closes it automatically? systemX 09-02-2010, 03:16 PM It will close automatically as explained in the 4 links i gave you. And no the internet app won't browse and reload pages by itself if you are not interacting with it. david_w 09-02-2010, 09:43 PM Download Advanced task killer and use the widget, all you have to do is press it and it closes everything u set to close SNAK3ATER 09-02-2010, 10:26 PM Here is a simple solution; go to samsung apps store and download the official task manager from there (it is the same task manager widget that is available in JM2 and the latest firmwares). It will display and notify you of the number of applications currently running in background and you can end the tasks and more other functions within the app itself. Finally mt advice to you is to not download any task killers apps because they do more harm than good IMO... DirtySoul 09-03-2010, 01:06 AM ??

SNAK3ATER 09-03-2010, 04:14 AM It was taken off, but yes it was on the samsung app store for a short time. Taken off?! I've went out and checked the store and it's still there...
