Non-root Task Manager

ernieg92

Newbie
Is there a non-root task-manager that I can use to end unwanted tasks? I don't really want to root my phone but I would like the ability to end apps (games, maps, etc.) when I'm done with them rather than having them run in the background.

If Android does this natively, can someone point me to an FAQ that explains how to do it?

Thanks.
 
Press menu > settings > applications > running services then click on the app you wish to kill.

Or you could download an app like advanced task killer that can kill apps in one click.
Advanced Task Killer - Android app on AppBrain

although tbh with you m8 in my experience task killers are a waste of time,the android operating is more than capable of managing the apps by itself.
