How to Manage Memory in Android Ice Cream Sandwich

hey guys it's Brenda minimun from
pocketnow.com Android 4.0 Ice Cream
Sandwich has a built-in task manager and
you might not even know it let's take a
look at it now now Android already does
a really good job at managing background
processes but I'm a power user and I
like to be able to go in there and
manage background processes on my own
it's just a thing I like to do so an
Android 4.0 it's easier than ever so if
we go into apps here it starts off here
in running services you can see all the
apps that are currently running on your
device and if you go into show cached
processes it will show you the apps that
are loaded into cache so that when they
open they open faster but as you can see
here the browser using 44 megabytes of
memory how do we close that quickly well
you go into the Android multitask UI
here you swipe it off the screen and
watch what happens browser will
disappear in a sec there disappeared
giving me 44 megabytes of space back and
of course you don't have to get
obsessive about this but if as you start
to learn which cached processes are
using the most memory you'll be
surprised at how high some get you can
start managing your apps a little bit
better by shutting down certain apps
after you've used them here through the
new Android and multitask user interface
so just a quick tip on how to better
manage your background processes in
Android 4.0 again you really don't have
to do this in Android it intelligently
manages it for you but some of the
control freaks the power users will
certainly want to be able to have this
capability and an Android 4.0 it's super
easy to do that
with the soy path axon here in the
multitask UI if you liked this video
