Stupid multitasking question.... - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know it can be done, but I cant figure out how to close a window without the program also closing. What am I missing?

Try just using the home softkey to exit out, it usually works for me. Just leave whatever app on the page u want it left on and hit the home key. Then open it back up and you should be right where you left off

Apparently there is an issue with the camera causing the problem. Sound like the fix is to use back button to get out of camera instead of home

Dang XDA app Force Closes when looking at photos

When you tap and enlarge a photo in XDA and you hit the back button then it freezes and f/c.
Who else has this problem?

I assume you have unistalled / reinstalled / cleared app data etc......
Crapatalk apps seem to be pretty temperamental and you will probably find that after your next flash/wipe the problem is gone..

Task manager?

What task manager are you guys using... Since Motorola did not put one on here like the original atrix
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I don't use one. If there is an open app I just swipe it closed using the bottom right soft key, seems to kill the app.
On ICS it didn't seem to kill it, now it does, but I could be wrong.

Actually swiping from the "recent apps" does not kill the app. HUGE "wives tail"

Android kills apps automatically when needed. So why use a task manager?
Sent from my phone.

Need help

How do I fix the bottom right? I was trying to get rid of the cam shortcut and use the mail. But now I don't know how to remove it. Does anyone know how to. Thanks for reading.

Open app drawer. Drag items you dont want into app drawer. Place item you do want back
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
What he said ^^^ looks like you created a folder by accident. The bottom bar isn't like on other android phones, on this phone it's a part of the app drawer so to put apps on it or take them off you always have to be in the app drawer.

How do I get to the app drawer? Excuse my ignorance.
