Re: App Switcher confusion

2013-01-28 Thread Lauren Simmons

Hi all,

Does anyone know wit certainty if the apps held within the App switcher 
actually take up battery life or OS resources? That is, if only 1 app is 
contained within app switcher, will it take 1/4 the resources of 4 apps held 
within the app switcher?

noticing an eerily progressive battery drain.  Then, after reading several 
posts on the App Switcher from this list, I opened it to find that there 
were well Nye 15 apps reported as active.  Every App I had ever opened since

Mark, you were half way there.  You did a double tap and hold which is what you 
should do.  The second part of that is lift up your fingers up and just double 
tap the app or apps you want to remove from the switcher.

  Hi.  Thanks to all who've been so helpful thus far as I fall in love with my 
new Ipad.  So, I don't understand App Switcher.


  I have a few apps in App Switcher which appear to be running in the 
background, such as Music, which don't need to be there.  I was told to double 
tap and hold on one of these; when I do, it says Editing app.  I must be 
missing a step at this point, because if I   dismiss App Switcher and re-launch 
it, the app is still there.  So, what's the step I'm missing here?


  Conversely, sometimes, if I launch an app from the home screen, it does *NOT* 
appear in App Switcher, even though I want it to.


  Thus the subject line.  Thanks for clarification. *bow*

Re: App Switcher confusion

2013-01-28 Thread Woody Anna Dresner
Hi,

As I understand it, some apps are allowed to run as long as they like when you 
close them but leave them in the app switcher, such as GPS apps or apps that 
are playing music. If an app is downloading something, I believe it gets 15 
minutes to finish and is then supposed to be closed. All other apps are 
supposed to be closed when you press Home, and they aren't supposed to take up 
memory and battery. However, I have had many times when emptying the App 
switcher makes something run better, so it frees up memory. And there have ben 
times when my battery life was dropping more quickly than usual, and emptying 
the App switcher helped. So while I wouldn't say you need to keep it empty all 
the time, if you're noticing a problem with battery or memory, my first 
suggestion would be to empty the App switcher.

HTH,
Anna

Also, the app switcher does not show the app you're currently using. For 
instance, if you are in Mail and invoke App switcher, Mail will not be shown.

The apps in app switcher are not entirely functional. Sometimes when you unload 
an app there are remnants of it in the memory, which is why it's a good idea to 
clear it out once in awhile.

Re: App Switcher confusion

2013-01-26 Thread Marcy Weinberg
First you double tap an app in the app switcher and hold. You'll hear it say, 
editing apps. Each app you double tap will then disappear from the app 
switcher. If you see it app in there you want to launch,  simply press the home 
button. This will put the app switcher back into normal mode, So when you 
double tap an app, it will open.

So, you don't have to exit the app switcher and go back in again to launch an 
app that is already in there.

Okay, so let's say I dismiss all my apps from App Switcher. That means they're 
all shut down?  But, things that don't seem to take up much resources like 
FaceBook, Twitter, Skype, the AIM client, …  They can just stay waiting for 
Push notifications, and will be in the app switcher.

Here's an interesting thing:  There's a four-fingered swipe gesture that 
switches you to the next app in the queue.  However, sometimes, when I did that 
swipe, I heard the cutest little child-like voice saying what I thought was 
app Switcher, or maybe I was just hallucinating.  How does one refine this 
four-fingered swipe to rapidly switch applications?

Four-finger swipe?  That is a new one to me, I either tap to open or, or tap
and hold to delete from the app switcher.  I try never to let it get too
full but some days I have had a lot in there.

Hi, Marcy.  I get the double tap to shut an app down, I'm not sure what you
mean by the rest; if I see an app in Switcher I want to launch, I'll just
split tap or double tap on it, not edit it.  Otherwise, I have to find it on
the the home screen or switch to it with the four-fingered swipe.

Re: App Switcher confusion

2013-01-26 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Mark,

In the app switcher you have four apps per page. They're in a row at the 
bottom, kind of in the same position as the dock. Those are the four most 
recent apps. To get to earlier ones, do a three-finger swipe to the next page, 
which I think by default is a three-fingered swipe to the left. Once you find 
an app you want, just double-tap on it.

To remove apps, double-tap and hold any app. At this point, you're in an edit 
mode. When you double-tap an app, instead of opening, it is deleted. Do this 
for any apps you want to delete. Then press the home button to exit the edit 
mode.

The high-pitched voice may be a system voice of some sort.

Just remember that you only have to do the three-finger swipe if you want to 
find apps that have been opened before your four most recent apps have been 
used.

Hth,
Teresa


Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Hi, Teresa.

Thanks for the tips on the App Switcher; think I got a handle on it, as in 
earlier posts.

No, this is a four-finger swipe to the left or right from within an app itself. 
 If you do it right, it'll say Switching to, and then whatever the next or 
previous app in your queue is.  If you do it wrong, it gives you a kind of high 
whimpering noise which I find rather amusing.  A three-fingered flick doesn't 
do this.  Quite handy to switch back and forth between my messenger clients.

What I mean, is that when you're editing apps, if you want to open one of them 
instead of deleting it from the app switcher, Just press the home button one 
time. You will still be in the app switcher, And can double tap any app to open 
it With out having to exit the app switcher.
