Hey guys if I have the moment from sprint n it says that my fone has version 1.5 for the droid n when I try too update it it says that my fone is already updated does that mean that I can’t get droid 2.0 ?
Once I start an app on my phone, how do I turn it off? I press the “Home” button to see a list of my currently running applications and I can quickly switch between them. But there’s no way that I can shut down an app from here. If there is no “exit”, “log out” or “off” button within the app itself, then it keeps running until I turn off the phone. All of those apps that are still running and using up my battery.
What have I missed?
HTC Sprint Evo – Frimware 2.1-update1
Awed Job- Look for “Advanced Task Killer” app. They put it on my phone right at the store. It shows you all the apps that are running, you check the ones you want to close and it turns them all off when you press the button. Works great!
