How to stop apps running in background mode????? created on Apr 29, 2010 9:36:48 PM — modified on Sep 16, 2011 10:56:34 AM by moderator
So I've noticed that my phone has been slowing down quite a bit....and then I realized that a bunch of applications are running in the background. Some of the apps just don't have an exit button!!!!! How do I quit them all? Last.fm keeps on scrobbeling when I don't want it too and other games are running as well.
Would appreciate any help! |

Thanks!
OK this may sound stupid, but how can this app "kill' Messages, Phone, Albums, or Camera???? Does that delete the feature? How could they be running in background mode? |

No, apps won't be deleted. The app just ends the processes. There are certain processes which cannot be killed.

In general, applications won't need an "Exit" Button inside Andorid OS. There is a lifecylce for every application where you have certain automatic exit and return or reentry points. This is, onPause, onStop, onDestroy and so on. If an application is done well, there is no need for an explicit exit button. If it is prgrammed in a way which differs from best practice, chances high that some routines will stay in memory and the OS will encounter problems removing this app from application stack. This is where "task killers" enter the game ..... Hope that this answers your questions.
