Task Manager

Sometimes your phone 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.

Shutting Down Applications

1. Press and hold

(Home) and then tap

(Task

manager). This screen contains the following tabs:

• Active applications display those currently active applications running

on your phone.

• Downloaded displays any installed packages or applications from the

Play Store that are taking up memory space. Tap Uninstall to remove

them from your phone.

• RAM, displays the amount of current RAM (Random Access Memory)

currently being used and allow you to Clear memory.

within the System storage location or SD card location.

• Help provides additional battery saving and RAM management

techniques.
