Amen. It bothers me more than I would like to admit that I can't tell how many applications are currently running on my Android phone. Or then when I press "back", sometimes the application quits and sometimes it doesn't.
- sixbrx 13y agoCan't you just hit the little multi-box icon on the bottom right always (to the right of the home icon)? Then swipe an app away to kill it.
- gardarh 13y agoMy understanding is that this does not kill the app, merely removes it from the list.
- bornhuetter 13y agoIt kills the app on my phone (Nexus 4 Cyanogenmod). If I ever get a slowdown I open up the switcher and swipe away all my recent apps to close them.

- teach 13y agoBecause I trust some apps more than others. I don't trust my Facebook app to be running 24/7, for example. Also, background apps I no longer care about may affect my battery life.
