How often do you have to hard reboot the head unit?

Lately for different reasons I've had to hard reboot (Press and hold home button for about 30 seconds) because something wasn't working correctly. Minday my maps wouldn't come on the drivers screen, yesterday no sound from a call on bluetooth, today no sound from my radio, just seems like I'm having to do it more and more often. Almost daily at this point.

ONly once in six months and I did that just to make sure I knew how to do it.

About once every 3-5 days. This is due to Amazon Music frequently freezing; the only way to resume playing music is via a reboot.

Next time I'm going to try force closing the offending app to see if that will fix it, instead of rebooting the whole system. I didn't k ow I could force close an app like in regular android but I guess it can be done.

How do you force close an app? Been wondering this myself. Waze doesnt seem to close if you switch to something else, so you still get prompts for red light cameras etc...
