I don't want to go to page 2 to restart (or call up depending on your view point) one of the listed icons. I started some before, and I just want to restart one of those .. not wade through all installed ones. | |

| Oct 8, 2010 at 13:34 | comment | added | ale | You need to start the app. Are you missing the application list? I don't know what Samsung has done to your interface, but on my Droid I have three icons on the bottom of my home screen. A phone on the left, a globe on the right (launches browser) and a grid in the middle, which pulls up the list of all the apps installed on my phone. | |
| Oct 8, 2010 at 13:27 | comment | added | Edelcom | @Al E.: OK, same comment as the other anwser. You only see a list of running programs, you can't activate the program, or can you ? I want to activate it (bring it on top). | |
