Service not timing out?

[camaro322hp]

I am recently fighting some issues related to RAM on my phone, so I've been more attentive to available RAM recently.

I've noticed that the GMMP service will never shut down, unless I do a menu - exit close of the app (I see GMMP in the running tab of apps). I have the Music Service Timeout option checked.

Am I misunderstanding this option? Or is it not working properly?

Are you using a widget? They will prevent the service from timing out

No, not using a widget. And app is on SD card.

do you use the home button to leave the app or do you back out? if you use the home button the UI is still active so the music service doesnt get released

i use the home button so that would explain it thanks
