Is this by design? I remember reading the famous myth debunk about Android not needing a task killer. But if this is what android does by default, killing and restarting blindly, then I think Android do need a task killer. Having to go into "Manage Apps" to find each app manually in the "All" list (since I can't force stop in the Running list) and Force Stop each of them is just too troublesome for me to do everytime I want to play a game! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
