One of the biggest complaints for the T-Mobile G1 Google Phone is that you can’t manually close specific applications. If you ask T-Mobile about this, they will call it a feature named “Intelligent App Management”. Yah! OK.
The G1 will run 6 programs, then when you launch the 7th program it will close them in the order they were opened (Opening the 7th app will close the 1st, leaving 6 running). That’s the only think you can do short of shutting down the phone and restarting it. I know, ridiculous. Perhaps an update or third-party application will come out that will fix this.
Note: You can view the Task Manager to see the applications running by pressing and holding the Home button.
