Help How do I keep my apps from closing when I exit to do something else?

[teddypicker]

Hi all, newbie here. I like to play games a lot and when I multitask and exit (but not close) the app on my Droid Razr Maxx HD, it always goes back to the start screen when I go back to the game. How do I get it to stop doing that?

For clarification: exiting as in pressing the menu button, or multitask button, not actually force closing the app.

Thanks!

Why wouldn't you make use of the "Recently Used App" button next to the "Home" button?

You know, I never use that. Like, I've opened it on accident more times than on purpose.

For me I just don't think to because my most 8 used apps are right on my home screen, the next 8 most are one glide to the right, and everything else is in alphabetical order on an old school vertically scrolling drawer (with apps I never use hidden [Apex]).

So for me if it's something on my homescreen, one touch is faster than two. If it's on a second screen, at best it's an equal number of touches - but I know exactly where the app is on the screen unlike the most recently used scroll thing.

There might be some argument if I happen to open my drawer, but a glide up opens my drawer so even that's going to be debatable.

The most recently used button is theoretically an interesting idea, but I've never developed a habit of using it. I can't speak for others, but as for myself there you go.
