Hi

I am using cm7
When I close apps, like Samba, they reappear after a while
This take a lot of battery life
The apps seems to take battery power, even if the nook is off

Some apps do that. Android will automatically kill them if memory runs too low. However, you can go into CM setting/applications/running apps and close them there is you want.

First of all, r u sure that this app consumes the battery?U can check it from usage.
Secondly its not good idea to kill yourself the apps except if there is big reason. Android system knows how to handle running processes. Its normal to see in background apps that were supposed not to run.but this is Android.

That is a little odd. Are they regular apps or widgets? I found the offending ones that I have which do not close on their own after use are widgets. I suspect they are designed that way as they are expected to be running on your home screen, but i can still force close them. One that I could not permanently stop was Yahoo Messenger. I didn't like the way that app forced itself on me so I uninstalled it.

I think that depends on the app RASTAVIPER. I can close almost all of mine, though there are a few I have not tried because I know I need them to run. Yahoo Messenger was, by design, not one of them so I dumped it.

Nice car BTW..... :)
