Using the Task Manager
Sometimes your Galaxy Prevail™ might seem to slow
down over time, and the biggest reason for this are
background applications. These are applications that
were not properly closed or shutdown and are still
active but minimized. The Task Manager not only lets
you see which of these applications are still active in
the background but also easily lets you choose which
applications are left running and which are closed.
To shutdown a current application:
1.
Press
and tap
>
(Task
Manager)
. This screen contains the following tabs:
䡲
Active applications
display those currently active
applications running on your device.
䡲
Package
displays any installed packages or
applications from the Market that are taking up
memory space. Tap
Uninstall
to remove them
from your device.
䡲
RAM manager
which displays the amount of
current RAM (Random Access Memory) currently
being used and allow you to
Clear Memory
for
either Level 1 or Level 2 (both Level memory
locations).
䡲
Summary
displays a visual graph indicating the
used and available space for
Program
memory,
and the
External SD card
.
䡲
Help
provides additional battery saving
techniques.
2.
From the
Active applications
tab, tap
End
to close
selected applications or tap
End all
to close all
background running applications.
Note:
These stopped processes are restarted once the
device is restarted (power cycled).
Third-party Task Manager applications are also
available from the Google Marketplace.
