Hey everyone! I have noticed that a few applications are always running when I do the ATL + Escape; Home, phone, messages and the browser. Now, with most apps, when I Menu -> Close them, they go away but a few, for example the IM application on the 7100t, will stay open even after i say exit. One, is there a way via the OS or an application to kill unwanted processes? And (or?) two, does it even matter? Is this affecting battery life, memory, and/or device speed? Thanks for any help!

Great questions!!! I noticed the same thing, and wondered the same thing, but just never posted it...

Looking forward to responses

Wow I never realized you could do this!!

This is great, just like ALT+TAB in windows, which I use all the time.

But now I am concerned with the running processess. LOL.


EDIT: The more I think about it, things like "Browser", "Phone", "Messages", "Home Screen" are some of the ones that are listed in mine. Now that makes think that they are there for convience(SP). I haven't tried it yet, but I assume ALT+ESC works when you are in a call, so then you could switch to those quickly, so if I am assuming correctly they aren't actually "Running", but kind of "Shortcuts".

Now I also have "Verichat" and "Messenger" running, but I understand why those are running, because they have to be in order to get messages and you can just kill those from the messenger.

Bump... no comments from you Blackberry Vets?
