Quick question... from a beginner in Android smartphones.

Let say I play a game, then I want to quit in order to do something else.... etc

Should I just push the middle button ? Should I go in the app manager and close it? Will it close by itself at some point ?

I don't want to, at some point, have 20 apps running in the background for no reason...
 
Re: Running apps

I always make it a habit to manually go in and close apps when I'm done from the recent apps list. I don't have the S4 so I'm not familiar with the exact route of accessing the recent app list.
 
Re: Running apps

Thanks you
Seems to be holding the home button for few secs.

The drill (at least for the S3) is to let the operating system manage your memory.

I don't why but at some point during the day I clear all my recent apps. Holding the Home button.

At night before I go to bed I clear the RAM. Start fresh in the morning.

I hold the Home button down and select the trash can icon to clear them all every time I am done with any apps.
