Application manager seems to take a long time loading, from pressing the app manager icon to loading applications size info, 20s. My S4 has many more apps but loads from start to finish in 6s anyone having this delay?

When you open an application, how do you close it so that there aren't too many open and draining the memory. It seems they stay open as when I hold down the home key I can see the shortcuts of open applications.
Also, any idea if it's possible to store applications on the sd card instead of the phone? There doesn't seem to be an option to do that.
The answer to my second question is no, in case anyone was wondering:

The home button doesn`t show open applications. It shows recent applications.
so does each application you navigate from close? Just wondering how applications like ebuddy stay connected unless they're still running
Ok, so I have been struggling for a couple days with this, and I hope someone can help me.
I want Android to always run my splash screen activity, because I load a bunch of data from web services that I need throughout the rest of the app. This works fine with the flag android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" set when you launch the app from the home screen.
Where it does not work so well is the long press of the home button and then selecting the app. In that case it starts the app in whatever random spot the user left it last. The problem is that if the app has been killed due to memory, it still shows in that recent apps list and when a user restarts the activity from the long press, all my data is gone so the app force closes.
So, my ugly workaround is to remove the app from the recently run list. I would much rather it showed up there but that it started my app the same way as if it was clicked on the home screen.
Anybody know how to do this? The ebay app pretty much does this, so I know it can be done.

Instead of reading your data in OnCreate, you could do it in OnResume. See the flow chart here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html
as you can see, OnResume is always called whether the app is created initially, resumed from pause, or reloaded.

In the onResume for the activity that is crashing, you could test your data to see if it's still there, if it's null you can run the code to repopulate it again.
Hi everyone,
Just wish to share an issue and see if anyone here faces this as well.
My Note III will often freeze and crash under this following scenario:
- Music player (or other music apps eg MeRadio) on in background -> Whatsapp messages come in
The result will be like:
1.) Screen freeze (screen not responsive, not even home screen button) + music stop momentarily and then continue playing
2.) After a few seconds of freeze, the pop-up saying "Unfortunately, WhatsApp has stopped." appears.
3.) Back to normal, and whatsapp will be restarted.
4.) Another whatsapp message comes in, it repeats.
I noticed that it doesn't happen every time - when I got frustrated with it I will often restart phone, and it doesn't bother me for a while.
Is it a RAM issue? I use the "Clean Master" app to keep my RAM low most of the time.
All suggestions are welcomed. Thank you!
Regards,
Desmond
Its windows, why cant I kill the apps running in my background. When I hit the back button all the way out of an app it takes me to the home screen, if I hit that app again later it takes me back to where I thought I had quit out of. When I use my computer I run one thing at a time, My android phone would exit all apps when I used its included task manager.
Sometimes the phone even gets laggy because of the amount of apps that are still running. Yes I turned everything off of the background apps settings, nothing should be running when I exit it.
I am new to windows phone, and doing a restart is the only way to set all apps back to the original pages.
Any help would be appreciated.
That is why i return the phone
Hold the back button down for <1sec and swipe apps away
even when i do that it re starts where i was, its a small annoyance but its nice learning a new OS
I've noticed since upgrading that when I bring up my task manager to show my background apps I have to touch the app I want to go to 2 times instead of 1 time like I did previously. Is anyone else having this issue?
A single touch is required for me on MM as it was on LP.
I played with it some more and seems the sensitivity is not as good after the update. I have to press a bit harder to get it to work the upgrade.
