The Sprint Evo is an Android smartphone capable of running applications in the background. It's best to close applications you aren't using, since running applications drains the phone's battery. Most apps allow you to close them through the menu inside the application, but if the app stops responding or has no close option, you can use the Force Stop function. Force Stop functions much like the Task Manager feature in Windows. It closes the app, but does not delete data or uninstall the app.

1. Press the "Menu" button from the main screen on the Evo.

2. Tap "Settings" and touch "Applications."

3. Select "Manage applications" and open the "Running" tab.

4. Locate the application you want to close and tap it.

5. Touch the "Force Stop" button to close the app.

I hope you find it very helpful. Thank you for using fixya.

press on the icon of the app that you do not want until it starts to shiver then press again and hold until it goes

Make a soft reset.. By unpluging the battery when the phone is on..

Sounds like you're lagging. Grab a task manager app (I use Taskkiller Free) from the market. Then once its installed, open it up and kill all the programs running in the background. It should fix the lag plus you will have longer battery life as killing those processes reduces activity.


Try:

Taskkiller Free or Advanced Task Manager

Both of these also have widgets so they can be accessed right from you home screens.

Depending on what OS is on the phone: Press and hold the HOME button - your recent apps will display, then just swipe them to the left, and it closes them. You can also do this to select apps you have recently used - instead of swiping, just click on them. If that does not work, there are apps available that manage the apps on your phone. Go to Google Play Store and search AppKiller, then browse the different ones available.

unfortunately this may be your only option to start over.

Realize that once wiped you can enter your gmail address and all apps will redownload from market.

Please note that all data will be deleted from the HTC EVO 4G as a result of this procedure. This process does NOT delete data stored on the microSD card. We recommend backing up all of your personal data before proceeding.

1. Turn the power off. If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Press and release the Power button
4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power button
7. Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Downfor NO

If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC EVO 4G. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.

Hi caddimane,
This can often happen with a smart phone as you get more an more applications. There are a few things you can do.
1. Delete apps that you don't really need; if you have things running in the background they can slow your phone down. 2. Download an app called Watchdog. The free version will do the trick. This monitors how much cpu each app is using to make sure no apps are 'misbehaving' in the background. It will notify you of any apps doing just that. It may notify you of an app you are using currently, if this happens don't worry about it, as the main app you're using is fine to use up a large percentage of your cpu. A side note to this step is to delete any task killer. These are apps that attempt to keep other apps from running. These task killers will have titles such as 'Advanced Task Killer.' They end up having a negative effect on your phone. Here are some articles about the specifics: http://goo.gl/23mG and http://goo.gl/N4Eu7. 3. Finally, download an app called Lookout Mobile Security. It has the ability to check your apps for viruses. While rare, viruses do exist on android.

There should be an icon in the drawer that reads Download. If there isn't any, head over to PlayStore and download ES File Explorer, this will display the download folder.
