[CrackBerry News]

We all tend to use our smartphones slightly differently and when BlackBerry 10 was released the home screen action was all about the Active Frames. From my perspective, being able to have quick easy access to up to eight of your most frequently used applications is one of my favorite features in BlackBerry 10. I normally have the same four or five apps open all the time and if I do jump into another app to use it quickly I more often than not tend to close it completely with a long hold of the 'x' in its bottom right corner.*

I don't keep anything open ever, unless I'm just checking something and going right back to it. Not necessarily a battery issue with me though, I don't want to waste battery of course, but I've got a few headless app now and their battery usage is minimal. Happy to have those running, I just don't like having to swipe through the active frame screen on my way to the hub. It looks junky to me. I'd probably leave more open if the active frame screen was a card you pulled down like the quick settings menu or bedside mode. But as it is now in between hub and the app tray in the left to right carousel I keep everything closed.

Battery Guru and talk2watch are the only apps that remain open for me. And I wish both of those were headless

You will soon be able to close one of them
