2012-01-10
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 please give us a thumbs up and thanks for watching that's it for now
