and tap ➔

dialog and tap

Note:
These stopped processes are restarted once the device is
restarted (power cycled). Third-party Task Manager
applications are also available from the Google Marketplace.
Using the Task Manager
Sometimes your phone might seem to slow down over time, and
the biggest reason for this are background applications. These
are applications that were not properly closed or shutdown and
are still active but minimized. The Task Manager not only lets you
see which of these applications are still active in the background
but also easily lets you choose which applications are left
running and which are closed.
To shutdown a current application:
1. From the Home screen, tap ➔
(Task Manager)
. This screen contains the following tabs:
• Active applications
display those currently active applications
running on your device.
• Package
displays any installed packages or applications from the
Market that are taking up memory space. Tap
Uninstall
to remove
them from your device.
• RAM manager
which displays the amount of current RAM
(Random Access Memory) currently being used and allow you to
Clear Memory
for either Level 1 or Level 2 (both Level memory
locations).
• Summary
displays a visual graph indicating the used and available
space for
Program
memory, and the
External SD card
.
•Help
provides additional battery saving techniques.
