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. Shutting Down Applications 1. Press and hold (Home) and then tap (Task manager). This screen contains the following tabs: • Active applications display those currently active applications running on your phone. • Downloaded displays any installed packages or applications from the Play Store that are taking up memory space. Tap Uninstall to remove them from your phone. • RAM, displays the amount of current RAM (Random Access Memory) currently being used and allow you to Clear memory. • Storage displays a visual graph indicating the available and used space within the System storage location or SD card location. • Help provides additional battery saving and RAM management techniques. 2. From the Active applications tab, tap End to close selected applications or tap End all to close all background running applications. Applications and Development 318
