If I want to close any apps in recent apps, it happens randomly that when I close an app by touching the cross, the entire recent app closes and I end up where I was before pressing on recent apps "key". Some one more experience this? Why is it like this?

Is there an app that can close selected apps when they are not being used, one thing I don't like is apps running in the background the having to go to the app just to close it with magic button or the right hard key.
on the treo apps close as soon as they are not on the screen.
thank you

whats wrong with magic button? it closes apps rarather minimise when you press top right button and you can close all runnings apps with ease. what else do you want it do do?
that said, i am actually looking for an alternative myself. although i love it, i do find that it tends to crash out pretty often. i am constantly restarting it. anyone else finding this?
i find that magic button will work fine until... you show the phone screen. it can't seem to close it correctly. it flicks it on an off several times and generally goes bonkers.
For a very minimal look, try VJOkButt.

So if I scroll thru the marketplace app list quickly, the phone will lock up and exit back to the home screen, after awhile. The marketplace will not open again until a reboot. Anyone else?
No problems here, I'd say try a hard reset.
yes its a known wp7 bug with a large thread on the wp7 support site.
Yes I found the thread after I posted here.
I've had this issue a few times..
I can usually avoid it by slowly scrolling through the list..
usually the first several items have no trouble.. but if you scroll too fast before the app information has loaded, the marketplace app seems to freeze.
I have learned to stop scrolling when I can see the scroll bar. When it disappears again, it's usually safe to go scroll more.
Hopefully they fix it soon.
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.
I picked mine up about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It's fully stock and I'm running LauncherPro Plus with only 2 screens. Here are some of the issues I've noticed while using. Some would be considered bugs, others as design defects.
notifications will disappear with only the clock , wifi and battery showing. when I touch the clock everything will pop up but will disappear again when i clear the screen.
random screen glitches including flashes, screen rotations and lag,
music player will stop for no reason and i have to hit the play button again to get it going, or will stop when i open another app,
CNN news widget will disappear sometimes,
the volume rocker is difficult to engage
market only runs in landscape which is a major pain,
after reviewing a selection on the market, it returns you to the top of the category which is bad if the category has thousands of selections.
these are minuscule issues. honeycomb is new from the ground up so these will be worked out.
anyone else have these or other issues?

I hate this as well. It forces me to think do i really want to look at this app and have to scroll all the way down again? I would look at more apps and try more if i didnt have to scroll and find my place again.
That's like it is in every market app. I think it's a good reason to use the android market website. Since the application always returns to the top.

Bug it!
The only issue I can confirm is the market not returning to your location in the list, which is annoying. Everything else the OP lists seems like random issues with his unit.
Actually those issue are probably happening because Launcher Pro Plus was written for android 2.1, not even 2.2. The Market issue affects all of us.

Ive had some lag...not as smooth as my ipad2. I know HC has widgets and etc going on on the homescreen, but still, it does lag once in a while and its annoying when it hangs for a few seconds.
Volume rocker...yes, its super annoying and shows some places where Motorola did not really think this through entirely.
Market going to landscape...yea its a little annoying
Music player stopping songs...YES I got that a lot...extremely annoying.
I believe that I am experiencing over aggressive app killing. I have noticed with a lot of browser tabs open, the OS seems to be killing swiftkey on me. It will frequently stop and restart mid sentence. I believe this happens when there is roughly 800 MB of RAM available or less. Does anyone know how to stop this?
Is anyone else using Swiftkey with this phone? Could there be a bug with Swiftkey and this phone?
Updated: turns out same thing is happening with Google keyboard, it closes and restarts so I think the OS is the problem
Updated: 12/19/2016
I've now noticed that the stock camera also gets shut off by the OS. I'll be taking several pictures or just trying to focus the camera and the screen (viewfinder) will just go completely dark for a second before coming back on. Strangely this issue does not occur with Open Camera.
did you try adding app to safe list?
Phone manager>Powersaving management>App protection.
disable it for the apps you want to keep in background.
You can also lock the app in recents menu, by swiping down.
Power saving management was already disabled, so nothing should be getting auto cleaned up. I'm not sure what's going on here.
Thanks for the other tip though about locking an app in the recents menu.
Is that different than what is discussed above?
