honeycomb question

[SAWYER]

How do I get rid of multiple windows? Next to the home button there is a button that pulls up everything that is running and I am not seeing how ro close windows

Try long pressing on an item in that list

 

[SAWYER]

That didnt work. You can hold on one of the windows for 5-10 seconds and when you let off it opens up

Pretty sure you can't in Honeycomb. With ICS they enabled the swipe to dismiss feature.

In later versions of honeycomb the app windows all had little X's.

It kinda sucked. ICS's swipe-to-close is way better.

Hmm, I'm not seeing these X's on my 3.2 Transformer.

Hmmm....there were there with the Honeycomb my Prime launched with. Are you completely up-to-date on OTAs?

As far as I can tell yes, Android 3.2.1.

(This is the TF101 just to be clear, not the Prime).

Yeah, but my buddy's Xoom had the same X's before his ICS update.

This is a mystery.

You shouldn't need to close anything and they aren't all "running." Most are probably inactive and just cached. Unless an app is misbehaving, just let the OS do its thing.

IF an app is misbehaving, I like the systempanel app as a manual task killer.

Yeah, I just want to remove them from the list because my OCD demands it. 😉
