Samsung SCH-M828C user manual Using the Task Manager, Android Development, Manage Running Services

Manage Running Services

This service is an efficient method for managing power consumption and processor/memory resources. Processes can be stopped until the phone is restarted.

To stop a currently running service:

1.From the Home screen, press and tap ➔ Applications ➔ Running services.

2.Tap an onscreen process entry.

3.Read the Stop service? dialog and tap Stop.

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.

2.From the Active applications tab, tap End to close selected applications or tap End all to close all background running applications.
