Help "words with friends" ghost image as I exit various other applications

[stray_pube]

For example, when I go into something like "battery manager" and then click on 'usage', then back out of it I see a screen of words with friends game before I see the next screen of the app. This also occurs with other applications. Again, as I back out of apps with the back button, as the screen fades out one of the screens is of some random WWF game. Any ideas?

EDIT: I found that it's not a random game screen, but the 2nd of two games I currently have going on. I also determined that entering an app and then hitting the back button doesn't exhibit the problem. It's when I am in an app, and then click on something in that app, then hit the back button to exit the app. During the screen transistions is when it happens.

Could it be some sort of memory cache thing?

Could it be some sort of memory cache thing?

That's my first thought.
When was the last time you rebooted the phone? Remember, it's basically a computer in your hands. And, like any other solid state electronics, the RAM can build up a static charge and lead to erratic behavior.

A reboot every couple of days will clear that.

In some cases (I think this is one of them), you need to do a full power off, remove the battery and let it sit for a minute or two to let any built up static dissipate. Then, put the battery back in and reboot.

People get annoyed when the cable/phone company tells them to unplug their modem for a couple of minutes to reset their connection. However, there is a method to the madness. Solid state electronics need to dissipate built up static charge. Your phone does not have a ground wire on it (Neither does the wireless router, DSL/Cable modem) to dissipate the charge through. So, it builds up and you have to let it clear by removing the power source for a couple of minutes.

That seemed to do the trick. Thanks for the tip!

Was actually happening to me a lot with only words with friends. I took the easy way out and uninstalled the app. It kept happening no matter how many times I rebooted.
