    I do understand that, however, it shows no CPU usage. I cannot really tell it is, in fact, active. Were a tree to fall in the forest with no one there, would it make a sound?

    In any case, maybe I will just let it make me feel good that my resources are being monitored, even if they are not.
    Mine shows no usage either. But it is still working. Just tried it. It runs in the background when the backlight is off.

    I opened 8 aps (BeWeather, ScoreMobile, Poynt, Wunderlist, Flixster, BlackBerry Travel, Pageone & BlackBerry Traffic), left them running and still nothing happened. What kind of aps did you leave running to test the functionality?

    I cannot recall for sure but of the 6 or so I opened, it was Google Maps that got caught, I think. Be sure you do not have the auto close box checked so you will know when it wants to close an app. It did take a while. I was not a believer, but now I do, I do.

    Yeah, I just downloaded ARM, it doesn't open for me.

    I have around 10 apps opened, and nothing happens.

    Where is this "auto close box"? I cannot open the app or access options anywhere.

    In Options > Device > ARM. Does ARM show as an item? If so hit it and a screen should open. If not you have not installed it. If there but no window, delete it and reinstall. Hope this helps.

    Well, I have it installed and it does open when I touch it.

    I unchecked the auto box and now I have 14 apps opened and nothing happens.

    Well, OK - I deleted the P.O.S. and reinstalled and still nothing!
    1) After installation, I selected the option to run the program - nothing happened.
    2) I selected the icon on home screen and nothing happened.
    3) I go into Application Manager and it tells me ARM is not running and has never been used.
    4) There is no ARM listing under Options > Device.

    I am running official OS7.1 on Verizon 9930.
    Any other suggestions before I give up on yet another RIM dissapointment?
    It gets harder and harder to remain loyal......

    I do have it installed and it does open when I touch it but it also says it hasn't been used!

    I literally had all of my apps opened and ARM did nothing!

    Oh well...

    Just because an app is "Open" does not mean it is using any resources, be that battery or memory. Many apps are essentially idle when you are not interfacing with them therefore really they are not running in the background when you aren't using them. I have had ARM shutdown Pandora, WaveRoom, and BeBuzz(which I have since ditched because it wastes battery). Obviously if I am listening to music I don't want it to cut off Pandora, so I selected not to monitor that app.

    In my experience it works exactly as promoted. Perhaps there is still an issue with the AppWorld link, I used theieexplorers link to install it myself.

    I understand that apps may be idle. However, I cannot even get the thing to open, or access any options that other folks seem to be able to access.
    Can you provide the link you used to download?

    a) I have AT&T (it's not released yet)
    b) I have a MAC, so I am stuck (at least until AT&T does an official release... at least I think I'm stuck. Any solution?)
    Use Boot Camp on the Mac to install Windows 7 so you can dual boot to the OS of your choice.
