Why don't you just press "Clear" in the Notification area to remove the SqueezeCommander icon? This icon is just a shortcut to start SqueezeCommander. It does NOT mean that the App is still running in background. Using the "Exit" button (=hard killing the app) makes no sense, really. It is strongly discouraged because it will make your phone slower, consume more CPU power and hence drain the battery faster. http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/ BTW: SqueezeCommander uses the standard Android behaviour: Pressing HOME ============== This will bring you back to the home screen. SqueezeCommander will be stopped (i.e. it will not generate any network traffic or consume CPU power) and eventually be removed from the memory if Android needs RAM for other apps. If you choose to go back to SqueezeCommander, this will be very fast, because Android does not need to reload the whole App, but it can easily resume it. Pressing BACK ============== This will kill and remove the SqueezeCommander activity from the memory. If you choose to go back to SqueezeCommander, it will be a bit slower because Android needs to reload the App from persistent memory to RAM, initialize the components, SqueezeCommander needs to search for servers, connect and so on... So, the bottom line is: - *DO NOT use the Exit button* - *DO NOT use the Exit button* - *DO NOT use the Exit button* - Normally, press *HOME* to leave SqueezeCommander - If you know that you don't need SqueezeCommander for a longer period of time and you want to force its removal from memory, press *BACK* The Exit button is only meant for situations where SqueezeCommander is somehow blocked and does not work anymore. Normally, this should not happen. -- flattermann Christian Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flattermann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
