Is there a way to close background apps on my iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2.1? I'm getting crazy!!!

I'm running iOS 4.2.1 on my iPhone 3G and it's getting very slow because i cant close the apps that i finished to use (can't close bg apps). If you would help me i'll appreciate il very much

It's likely running slow because of iOS4, not because of apps being open.  Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore from your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
You'll most likely need to restore as new to get it running as good as it can.  A 3G will never run as good on iOS4 as it did on iOS3.

  • HT5137 Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

    Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

    There is no way to close all apps at once. When you leave an app , most apps stop working immediately. A few apps will continue to complete the task they were working on. Mail is an example of that. There is a short time limit though after which the app stops running and the state you left it in is stored. Quitting apps does not increase battery life.

  • Is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad. We share the same email and itunes account.

    is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad...we share the same email and itunes account.

    You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
    You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
    What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
    Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
    Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
    This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud.

  • Is there a way to close an app without it going in background multitasking?

    Hi guys,
    I find annoying having to always doubletap the home button to close whatever application I have just used ( such as after checking an email).
    When i don't need the app to run in the background withiltitasking is there a way just to kill it here and there as soon as I've finished using it?
    Many thanks
    Nico

    I agree that voice control is useless. That's why on my phone when you hold down the home button, the quick compose for text comes up. This way, I can send a text no matter what I'm doing (surfing, watching a vid, gaming, etc..)
    Also, stop being one of those people that worries about multitasking. They're not really running. After checking your email, there is no benefit gained from killing the application.

  • Is there a way to lock individual apps on iOS6 iphone 4S?

    I don't want people going through my what's app, messages, photos, email.. if I lend the phone they have access to everything.
    I don't want to use restrictions, or lock the whole phone, rather the individual app I want to lock.
    Is there a way to do so without jailbreaking the phone?

    As long as your device is set up to sync with iTunes you can update the apps in iTunes and then sync to the device. If you select the Apps section of your iTunes libray you will see a button at the bottom-right to Check for Updates. Click that, update, and sync.

  • Contact apps crashes on iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1

    Hello,
    Anyone experience this problem? Everytime I try to add a new contact, as soon as I tap done the apps will crash. However, if I start up the apps again then add all the information again the app works just fine. Then after a few hours the same thing will happen, I have to open it twice to make it works
    Let me know if you have a solution for this, I already restored my iphone once but doesn't solve anything
    Thanks in advance

    Makes no difference if you remove the app from the recently used apps bar or dock. The WhatsApp app and FaceBook app do not run in the background.
    Receiving push notifications with the FaceBook app is wildly eratic for me, which has nothing to do with my iPhone especially when push notifications work 100% of the time with other apps such as with the ESPN app. This has everything to do with FaceBook which is where push notifications originate - from FaceBook servers. The same with WhatsApp.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • Is there a way of quitting an app only by pressing on the red button?

    Hello.
    I'm a new Mac user (my MacBook Air bought on April, 17th).
    I was wondering, is there a way of quitting an app by pressing on the red button only, without pressing on the app name on the menu bar and and then on "Quit X"?
    If it's possible, I will be glad to here the way.
    Idanref.

    No.  The red x closes the window but not the application.  An exception is when an app can only have 1 window open. (Like system preferences).   A quick way to close the app is to press CMD Q  on the keyboard.

  • Is there a way you can stop Apps using 3G or 4G data whilst your devices is connected via WIFI?

    Is there a way you can stop Apps using cellular data, but allow them to use data only through a WIFI connection? 
    I have tried leaving the cellular data switch on, but switching OFF "Use Cellular Data for" for all apps.  But on checking the data usage from my phone provider these Apps have still been using cellular network to download data.
    It seems even though my phone is connected to the WIFI (and showing a good signal) some apps are still using the cellular network to download data.
    It seems my only option is to switch Cellular data off all together but this is not my preference as I require a particular app to still be able to use cellular data in the case of an emergency.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks that's very helpful.
    It shows up on my bill for example "You Tube", with the times and amount downloaded.  I know for a fact I have not been using this app at the times shown. It must be processing some information in the background, of which I have also switched off "Background App Refresh".
    Sounds like a programming change required by Apple.  Surely if you switch cellular data off for a particular app that should override this from happening whether the phone's in sleep mode or not......
    Any idea how I take this issue up with Apple?

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).
