I seem to be backing out of my apps and leaving them running in the background all the time. Hitting menu then scrolling down seems a bit long to close an app everytime. Is there a shortcut to closing apps?
Also, when in my msg box if I hit 'c' it will compose a new email. Is there a key that will compose a new txt?
Lol brothamoveson must be grumpy today....
The way I look at it is if there is a short cut I want to use it. Ya it's a couple of steps and it's not that big of a deal, but if it can be done faster why not.
Illarod: 'w' doesnt do a respond on my phone, 'r' does respond but 'w' doesnt do anything for me. I'm not looking for a respond though I'm looking for a fresh page, 'c' will compose a fresh email but I haven't found one for a fresh txt.
Garz: "menu" "c" works on some apps, but not all. On my inbox it just goes to compose. Still better than nothing. Thanks man.

yes this will not work for inbox. Just for using general apps.
Mafal: That doesn't work for all apps. I used to do that for everything until I saw I still had apps running in the background. That's why I was trying to find a 'close' shortcut.
When closing app,
Just press the back butten (right side of track-boll) and your gonna back out of the app.

This does not "close" the application it just exits the application... however the app is still running in the background taking up precious memory... leave a couple apps running like opera,viigo,jivetalk, and so forth and it wont be too long before your BB starts lagging really bad and deleteing message logs and call logs due to low memory .
I tried this in a couple different apps, it seems to bring the menu options to the top listed "C", and never to "Close", would be a neat shortcut though!
I've found this phone aggravating....there must be 9 steps involved in performing every function, and you have to remember what they all are or you don't pass the BB 101 test. I can't believe it. Is the iPhone easier?
No, as I hear tell, you can't 'back out' of apps...you have to close them out or they continue to run. If it was that easy, BB couldn't have integrated it.

OMG!! he said "Iphone" on a BB site
lol j/k honestly tho its all preference I guess BB at first may take a lil mastering but once you get to know your phone and how things work IMO it much better then the IPhone dont get me wrong i think the Iphone is a great piece of technology but its more of a media player to me... i feel its geared more twords the younger demographics... but to each their own...
