    background apps

    Just curious, is it possible to run all apps in the background or just certain ones. I have a couple audio apps that just don't stay open when i switch screens. Any ideas or hacks are appreciated. Thanks.

    When you switch screens?? Are you backing out of the apps or hitting the home key?

    I just downloaded the app just to check this and it works fine???? I started it, hit the home button, and am listening to it as we speak. Maybe uninstall and reinstall the app.

    I don't understand what it could be. I just deleted it reinstalled it and hit home and it still just shuts the application down i am running a factory 2.1 version of android. Are you on 2.2? i also checked under the settings of the application and i don't see anything that should be adjusted to fix it.

    Yes I am on 2.2. I just did a test on my brother's X (stock 2.1) and I couldn't keep it open either. It shuts right down no matter how I try to switch out of it.

    Can you list the apps your having problems with?
