Non responsive apps

[MarkD60]

Is there the equivalent of CTR+ALT+DEL for the N97 Mini? I frequently have apps that seem non responsive, and I'd like to be able to stop them without powering off and on my phone.
Thanks

"ActiveFile" phone browser. There's a tool called "Task manager" with an option "Kill task". You guess what happens after :)

Cheers!

hold the butten of the left bottom of your phone for a couple af secs
then hit the applications you want to kill for a couple of secs
and hit, close or what it's called in english

The first button you mentioned is the menu button.
And it's called "Exit" - you were close :)

Anyways, this method does not always seem to work. Some apps refuse to "die" when you "kill" 'em like this.

Is there a way to close all open apps with one command, rather than selecting individually and selecting "Exit" ?

i downloaded ActiveFile, here's the link. It won't install on my N-97 Mini
ActiveFile Alie Tan
I don't understand the other instructions, the left bottom button on my phone is the up arrow, for caps.

That's probably because you downloaded the UNSIGNED version.
There are 3 versions: Basic, Extended and one with Manufacturer capabilities. Basic is the only signed version, but I'm not sure if it has the Task Kill ability. I'm using the Extended version.
To sign an unsigned application google "sign symbian application". There are also some threads about it on this forum.

The left bottom button when your phone is NOT slide open. It's the menu button.

If you still don't get it here's the picture. Notice the only button (non touch sensitive) on the lower left corner.

It installed thru my computer, but not from the phones browser. Checking it out now.
