Hi Guys,

Newbie here with a quick question. I have the following in my Settings - Applications - Running Services, and I need an idea as to what they are! I am so sorry if this is a dumb question but I have no clue (new to android!). The following are -

Google Messaging Service - is this my gmail? if not, can i disable it?
htc Dashboard Service - que?
Touch Input - no idea what this is!
Visual voicemail - i am with orange if that makes a difference?

Do i need these running and if not, how do i get rid of them, as if i press on it to stop it does bugger all?

Again, apologies but I need help!

Thanks for your time,
woohoofoo
