Does that actually close them, or just remove them from the history? I was under the impression it was the latter because they were still there post-reboot.

Seems to shut them down for me.

eg: if I play Bejeweleed 2, then close it and reopen it's in the same place. If I use the method above to close it then it has to reload before I can play again.

Other than that, I have no idea

Just confirmed it does as you say (also using Bejeweled 2), so it does both then. And yes, I did just reboot again to confirm I wasn't imagining things.

Thanks!

Note to self: Must keep history clean in future.

Weird I can't bring up the multi-task thing if I double click the home menu... how do you enable that? Or is it only for the 3GS and above?

It isn't on the 3G. Apple claim the 3G hardware isn't capable of the background feature, and given all the reports of slow-downs without it, they're probably right.

My 3GS isn't as smooth as it used to be either - though that might have been related to my memory issues.

not liking it.
Apps especially safari crash often. Phone is sluggish when typing. Adds nothing good to the experience.

even sliding from one Home to screen to teh other can leave me with a black screen for a few seconds. gggrrrr and restore does change anything either.


Mines a 3g and it downloaded and updated it on it's own accord, how do I go back to the old one

There are a couple of methods in either this thread or the iPhone 4 thread, I can't remember which.

However it doesn't work particularly well. You need to mess about with a library file and use the terminal to connect to the phone to make it work after you restore. Then if you ever restore again, you need to do the same frig. It's because the baseband is also upgraded and that makes downgrading very difficult (officially, it's not possible).

How annoying, nearly every time it runs out of battery it needs to restore.

works amazingly well on new hardware and i can't wait to see it on the ipad. can't quite believe the mass of problems it's created on the previous platforms though.

To be honest, if they didn't release it for <3GS then there would have been uproar.

It was a lose/lose for Apple imo.
