installed on your phone, along with their sizes. By default, only downloaded
applications are shown, and they are sorted in alphabetical order. Press
and touch Filter to change the list to show all applications, only running

size to display applications in order by size. Touch an application to open its
Application Info screen.
 Running services: Opens a list of services—applications or parts of
applications that provide services to other applications or that run even
when their main application isn’t running. Examples include the Android
onscreen keyboard and the small portion of Google Talk that always listens
for incoming messages. Above each service, one or more gray bars show
what processes the running service needs and how much memory it’s using
(how much memory you would recover if you stopped the service).
Depending on the service, when you touch it in the list it either opens a
dialog in which you can stop it or opens its Settings screen.
Application Info screen
The Application Info screen for each application lists its name and version, along
with details about the application. Depending on the application and where it
came from, it may also include buttons for managing the application’s data,
forcing the application to stop, and uninstalling the application. It also lists
details about the kinds of information about your phone and data that the
application has access to.
 Storage: Gives details about the amount of phone storage that an
application uses.
If you installed the application from Android Market or another source, includes
an Uninstall button that you can use to remove the application and all of its data
and settings from the phone. See “Market” for more information about
uninstalling and reinstalling applications.
 Cache: If the application stores data in a temporary area of the phone's
memory, lists how much information is stored, and includes a button for
clearing it.
 Launch by default: If you have configured an application to launch certain
file types by default, you can clear that setting here.
 Controls: Use the Force stop button to stop an application that is
misbehaving.
