How to stop an application?

[paul2978]

Hi quick question

If i hold the menu button down the bottom all the applications that I have opened or used are there however what if i dont want to have it running in the background.

other than going into setting applications -> force close.

is there a quicker way of closing these apps?

Thanks

Paul

Android Task Manager auto-kills applications for you

How do you mean auto kills?

If you dont want it running it stops it

You can use something like advanced task killer. As above, some say it isn't necessary or even helpful. However, I have found it useful when an app seems to have gone a bit haywire and my phone keeps switching itself on or the battery gets hot.
