i just downloaded the tracker software and i used the running applications option to close my running apps, i cudnt beleive how many apps i had running which do not close???
my batery used to last 15-20hrs or so and now its almost 3-4 DAYS!!!

its cleasr that running apps drain out the battery but my question to all is how the hell do we close apps like, video player audio player messges phone which is present as shortcut on the top etc....

sony ericsson hasnt given any such software if they knew the batery wud drain out with running apps, IS there any way we can close the above mentioned apps, (without tracker obiously) since THERE IS NO CLOSE options for either of them......

Nope, SE has not made a close function for many of their original programs. So we need programs like Tracker and System Manager to close running aps.

According to it is not necesary to close apps. Nor do we need a filemanager.
They were obviously wrong...

You can use the basic free File Manager made by Ericsson Mobility World. It has a basic Task Manager built into it.

I love the "Close All Applications" command coz I use my P800 for a while & then b4 I Iock it & put it in my pocket, all I have to do is click that one command & I'm good to go.

@buddybanana,

My choice would most definetely be tracker. Not only can you close running apps, but you can keep track of how much memory you have left in your MS Duo, P800 and how much memory you are using on your phone. On top of all of that, there are quick launch and close functions....and a soon to be released "today" view.

However, if you need a free program to close apps with and free up memory, I would go with Switcher. I still use this in conjunction with Tracker.

If the link does not work, go to the home page and search for Switcher.

I think that the battery problems (w.r.t. running apps draining power) generally lie with third-party applications. Symbian have a set of guidelines specifying how applications should behave when they are put into the background. It includes things like suspending all threads, and releasing resources. I would hope that at least the applications which come with the phone adhere to these guidelines and thus it should not be necessary to close them. In an ideal world a task manager would not be necessary. Unfortunately the world isn't ideal and not bundling a task manager is pretty poor :|
