bsweetness said:Some of the apps in your recent apps are running, but not all of them. It depends on the app and how it operates. But for the most part, I do believe you're correct.
One thing that is for certain is that clearing an app from the recent apps list does not close it if it is indeed running. That seems to be a common misconception by many people. All it does is remove it from the list. If the app is indeed running in the background, it will continue to run even if cleared.
The recent apps list is exactly that - a list of recently used apps. It's not a task manager.
Yea. I figured the application wouldn't exactly be "running" but it does keep a screenshot of every single recent window you had open and like I said before....swiping away every single one....just inconvenience....that was just stupid on ICS developers part....everything else I absolutely love...just that one dumb feature which they tried so desperately to make "cool new and sleek looking"
