[QUOTE="cokewithvanilla, post: 1126899, member: 139866"] When I am saying they are running in the the background, I am using SBSettings. I can tell they are running because i have 5 mb free ram... that's wrong. Yes, my phone feels faster, I think they changed the speed of the menus to make that impression. However, it stops feeling faster after I open up 5 or 6 applications. I will try to install backgrounder and see what happens if I disable certain apps. Hmm. If you can tell me how state saving and running in the background is different for something like notes or calculator, I'd be surprised. While it did not have native support for multitasking, backgrounder has been out for a while. I find operation of the phone much more difficult after this update. If I forget to close apps (90% of them are the same either state saved or multitasking), my phone will run terribly slow. Why it would automatically run something like navigation software in the background is beyond me (though the ability to do so is a plus). This stuff just eats at the battery life. Oh, and I know multitasking was sought after, I was one of those who wanted it. however, it's implementation is poor (****, I even can't multitask SleepMaker Storms with the native multitasking, yet it automatically multitasks something like 'settings' which very few people need). sorry if I seem like I am complaining, I was just pretty shocked that they would not have considered this.
