    So now that the bb10 devices have been out for a bit I am just wondering what everyone's habits are. How many active frames do you leave open and which ones?

    Personally I have the habit of closing them each when I am done with them.

    2-3

    Whats app, BBM, sometimes Hub++ (when I have a charger nearby, that app is a huge draw to my battery)

    I usually have BBM, Twitter, Calendar, Search, Neutron, Browser, and, often, Crackberry running. Others are opened as needed.

    4 usually. Instagram, SnapChat, CB10, and the fourth app varies. I always forget there's 8 possible frames so 4 keeps me from forgetting

    3-4. BBM, stocks, calendar and maps when I'm on the road. It's weird, I know I can have eight open but anything past four I always close, lol...

    8. I leave my apps open (expect for games). I have mixed feelings about what I should do. I love Active Frames and I want to leave them all open so I can have the best experience, but yet closing them would mean quicker access and better battery life.

    Usually 4. Before Whatsapp is integrated into the Hub, I used to have it open. Right now, the favorite 4 -5 active frames are:
    1) Battery Lover is for showing battery percentage
    2) CBC News is for running news headlines
    3) Clock shows me current time more prominently
    4) Calendar shows me the next schedule and appointment
    5) Photos -slide show keeps showing me all the pictures I have in the phone

    I am hooking up with my laptop at work so I don't care about draining battery if any 8 apps are open

    Only Bebuzz for now till the next update allows apps to run in back ground. Other wise I'd never use active frames. I would prefer to just give a little swipe up and have apps close and not go to active frame.

    Only when multi tasking. I may leave the phone app open when knowing I will be using it constantly. Other than that none, apps open blazingly fast.

    Since 10.1, I had been leaving 6 to 8 open. I noticed that battery consumption remains minimal (confirmed with battery guru). So taking advantage of the active frames!

    Generally, none. Sometimes I'll leave Beweather running.

    Battery Guru, pdf document for my math course, browser, Blaq. Sometimes: data check pro, CB10, NHL game center and whatever else.. usually I have 2-5 open. They don't consume battery according to battery guru. My standby usage is still -0.0 - -0.1W, which is very normal and low.
