Is there a program or HTC home plug-in that will let me close all applications with an icon on the today screen? typically i just hit my start menu and scroll down to "close program/close all". just wondering out of pure laziness.
thanks
I seem to be only able to have 1 app open at a time?
I have to backbutton the app, then go to main screen to start another app..
How do i have 3-4 apps running, with the minimized apps that i can grab up top like my phone...
thanks
I'm not exactly sure what you are requesting here, but applications can run in the background. While you may need to go the Home screen to get back into an application you were previously in, it can still be running from before.
You mention of minimizing applications, which doesn't happen with the android system in terms of windows (min/max), but some applications open can be accessed throught he notification bar, if they have a ongoing notification.
Maybe you're talking of pressing and holding the N button to bring up the 8 most recent applications to easily switch between them?
If that is the case, there is also a nice application called Swipepad that may help you as well.
My android phone, with the slide down window at top is what i was referring to, where you can "pull" down the top of window,, and see your running apps...
thanks

What phone is that? It must be a customization of some sort since Android doesn't normally work that way. Like biohazrd51 said, just hold down the physical "n" button for short second and a "running" app list will pop up no matter what program you're in and even if the status bar you're talking about is hidden

Back button = Exit. Just push the N button to go Home.. And as said, sounds like your phone is some tweak to Android, until Honeycomb there was no method provided by the OS itself to show "running apps" besides in the Settings->Applications view.
Sounds like something from HTC Sense. What phone/ROM you have?

How do I get back the programs that I told the system to remove from the list of recently used programs. The ones that pop up using the right moat button on the bottom of the screen.

LoL just open the app again.
The button you're hitting is the "recent apps"
Hello.
I have just rooted my 810 (9'7") but I have doubts. Can I update by OTA my tablet? Will be it in loop if I do that?
And another question is if I can use multiwindow with any app. How?
Not sure about the OTA question, but to multi-window, there are multiple ways. First, you can open something, then hold the recents key and then select another app to put alongside it on the screen. Secondly, you can tap recents, and then tap the icon that looks like two rectangles on top of each other (next to the close X) on the app you want, then do the same to select another. You can also open an app and then drag the very top right corner of the app down (towards center of screen) to shrink the window down.
Apologies if it already has been mentionned but I didn't find anything about it.
Before my Pixel 5 I used to have a Samsung and I was really surprised how the pixel deals with the "clear all" function on the overview screen.
I like the way apps are displayed side by side on the pixel, but having to swipe aaaaaall the way back to the first opened app to clear all is not really user friendly. On Samsung phone, the Clear all button is set under the apps preview, so it's always on screen. Really convenient when you open the overview only to use that function.
So here comes my question! Is such a functionnaly existing or possible on my Pixel ?
On stock ROM, the "clear all" button only appears on the very left of the "recents". You have to swipe the screen --> and it will appear on the left. I don't think you can change that unless you install a custom ROM that has a setting to put that button there.
You might be doing the "clear all" out of habit due to the old issue that apps in the background would eat away your battery and cause the phone to get hot. This is no longer true because Android now has very good ram and app management for this to be an issue any more.
Thanks for the clarification, you have a good guess, I'm doing it out of habits from ancien times so I'll just have to change that

Yeah same, me too. It's now become an OCD where my Recents must be empty or it feels icky. I'm also stuck in the ancient times. Still using the 3 button navigation and I have to spam the back button to close an app, or else it just doesn't feel right haha.
