Default [HELP] Unable to close Apps on SE Xperia ARC

Hi Everyone,

I have big problem which is i cannot close apps. When im done with app i cant close them. I push back button, but it just send app to background. So it is still working and draining battery all the time.

I have same problem with every app. I have Advanced Task Killer Pro but i dont want to use it all the time. It is ridiculous.

And some apps are restart after i close them with Advanced TK Pro. Like Letsgolf,postcard.. I dont want those. I will uninstall them if i can..

I need to close apps when im done with app and uninstall some other apps. Is there any solution for that ? Because it is really annoying and big problem. Simply draining battery..

Thank you for reading.

Best regards.

Are you new to android? You dont have to close every app like lets say symbian or windows mobile, only worry about closing certain games or apps that keep using data frequently, read up on android if this is your first device, anyway If you feel uncomftorble use task killer to stop all or whatever apps you want, not everything will close though, its just the way android works, youre fine.

Where is the problem with the Arc...?

You're referring to the normal behavior of the Android OS. This is normal. If you're not getting over 40 hours of battery life with regular use, you may have downloaded some strange applications.

Please REMOVE the BIG forum title, you are jumping to your own conclusions and distorting public views of ARC.

Next time read more and find out before you post

So where is the "BIG" problem with the ARC? What a lame and misleading title! Go read up on Android OS and how it behaves first before freaking out!
Why so serious?

It's not about ARC i know that. But i just want to tell my phone is ARC,whatever. I used Linux and i know how it works. But when it comes to phone. Things change. Gallery,Camera,Google Maps,Browser.. When you start apps like that. If you cant close them they are draining battery in background also using RAM for nothing. And it is something that i cant deny.

And think about you didnt restart your phone like 2-3 days. And apps you start never close and working in background. It is a PROBLEM need to solution. Thats not nothing.

Thanks for comments.
