NEXUS 7 GUIDEBOOK TUNE PERFORMANCE 47

You rarely need to manage the way apps use RAM. But you can

monitor apps’ RAM usage and stop them if they misbehave.

Use the Apps screen

The Apps screen allows you to adjust several as-

pects of the way your device uses memory. To view

these settings, go to Settings > Device > Apps.

You’ll see three tabs at the top of the screen, each displaying a list

of apps or their components:

• Downloaded. Displays apps you’ve downloaded on Google

Play or other sources.

• Running. Displays all apps, processes, and services that are

currently running or that have cached processes, and how

much RAM they are using.

The graph at the bottom of the Running tab shows the total

RAM in use and the amount free. At the top right of the screen,

touch Show cached processes or Show running services to

switch back and forth.

• All. Displays all apps that came with Android and all apps you

downloaded on Google Play or other sources.

To switch the order of the lists displayed in the Downloaded or All

tabs, touch

Menu > Sort by name or Sort by size.

To view details about an app or other item listed under any tab,

touch its name. The information and controls available vary

among different types of apps, but commonly include:

• Force stop button. Stops an app that is misbehaving. Stop-

ping an app, process, or service may cause your device to stop

working correctly. You may need to restart your device after

doing this.
