Shutting Down Aps
OK, so I have my Droid X and I have the Advanced Task Killer installed. Why is it that when I open my Fox News ap and read, I can't get it to shut down? I don't see an option to exit the ap. All I can do is go to the Home screen, but my status bar shows that the Fox News ap is still running. That ap is checked in the Advanced Task Killer list, but yet it isn't being killed. It's been up in the status bar for a few hours now but the Task Killer is set for every half hour. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Thanks.
