Working with apps
34
You manage how apps use storage memory directly and indirectly in many ways as you use your tablet, for example, by:
Installing or uninstalling apps (see “
●
Market” on page 88 and “Uninstall an app” on page 37)
Downloading les in Browser, Google Mail, and other apps
●
Creating les (for example, by taking pictures)
●
Deleting downloaded les or les you created (see “
●
Managing downloads” on page 37 and the documentation for the
apps you use)
Copying les to or from your tablet and a computer, via USB or Bluetooth (see “
●
Connecting to networks and devices”
on page 48)
You rarely need to manage how apps use RAM: the operating system does this for you. But you can monitor how apps
use RAM and stop them if they misbehave as described in “Stop a misbehaving app” on page 36.
