Delay in opening the start and input menu - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

HI its me again..
on my WM5 dopod OS I m facing a problem...
When ever after a soft reset immediately when i press the windows menu key it delays opening by around 2-3sec...
but after doing it once it opens immediately the next time i press the menu key...
also i m facing similar problem with text-input selector (one we get while writing a message/email )selecting the t9/keyboard/HRR etc..
While i tap the inputchanging key in middel the menu is delayed here also by 2-3sec its really irritaring me..cause this happens evertime ...even after soft reset.
just for your info i have loaded resco fullscreen keyboard,resco keyboard apart from default input methods of phone pad,hand writing rec.etc...
Will this causing the menu to pop-up delayed by 3sec or so....

The first time that you open the start menu, the device needs to read the Start Menu listing. When you open the Start Menu after this, the files have been cached in memory and therefore the menu appears instantly. There isn't really a way around this and to be honest, I don't see a problem.
As for the input method list, I have the same problem and I am not sure why this happens. Maybe someone could clear-up as to whether it performs some kind of re-enumeration or integrity check for the input methods when the menu is opened, but this certainly has nothing to do with Resco Full-Screen keyboard.

Button glitch

My top left button (email) is normally assigned as the start menu button. After installing a new screen protector, whenever I pressed the button, it would open the start menu but start another program. I don't have any programs that open allow buttons to do multiple things, so I'm puzzled as to how this could've occurred or if it's related to the installation of a screen protector at all.
Any clues guys?
What does it claim to be assigned to? Go to Start>Settings>Buttons and check what it says there for Button1. Also, how did you assign it to the start menu?

Change Start Menu Button action?

Is there a way to change the behavior of the Start Menu Button? Basically i'd rather have it simply show the today screen rather than the actual menu. Alternatively i'd even prefer that it ignore the press and not show the menu. With many of us already having application launchers on the today screen, the start menu is redundant.
I apologize in advance if this is inappropriate for this forum.
To avoid not being able to access the start menu at all, you could enable it with a long key press of the start menu button.
Tap = return to Today Screen
Hold = show Start Menu
This would seem like a nice thing to have. Is such a thing possible? Perhaps with Mortscript?
What PDA do you have?
If you have a PDA/phone you just do a single press of the "hang up" button?
WM itself doesn't allow to change the start menu action. However, it's possible to put another app on top, like WisBar Advance, SKMenu, and similar tools do. But I don't know of any free and lightwight app which only replaces the start menu button.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I agree! Have searched this for a long time, but it seems it can't be done.
I would love if Visual Task Manager started when i press the windows icon.
Please return if you find a application to replace the start menu button. Thanks, i offer a kiss in payment
This program will do it. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gspocketmagic-v1-32-19.html
Just that the icon becomes so ugly but i think it's worth it

qmenu

I searched, but only found one thread as to where to get Qmenu. Does anyone use it? I really like it, only I can't seem to get it to open every time when I hit my start button. I know there is a setting for it to replace the system start menu, but even checked, it only sometimes opens the Qmenu by default, and usually opens my regular start menu. This app would be great if it opened every time when start is hit. Anybody have a solution?
In the options there is a setting that opens the regular start menu on long press. I set my long press to reboot. If I dont take the start icon quickly it will give me a reboot dialog box. See if its just a tap speed issue you are having. QMenu is awesome and the newest version is really sweet.
I love qmenu, without it WM seemed too simplistic & tedious.
Had the same 'problem' about the start menu too at first, but I was new to this diamond & too heavy handed. The baby needs caressing gently.
haha thanks for the replies guys, I was just being stupid and did not realize that hitting "start" and hitting the little windows icon are too different things. hitting the button in the middle opens up the regular menu, and the small icon opens up the Qmenu. I guess I just wish hitting start (easier) would open up Qmenu

Assigning "End Key" to close out of programs

Hey guys,
I got a TMOUS HD2 a couple of days ago and was wondering if there was a cab or some sort of reg tweak that can assign the end key to exit out of programs instead of pressing the back key and ending it in task manager, or having to exit using the soft keys.
I personally prefer to have a hard button to exit out of the programs because I am coming from the iPhone.
the end key is used to turn off your screen and put your phone to sleep/stand-by or end a call, so i find it impractical to use it to exit an app or for anything else... how else would you put your phone on standby without it? unless u let the display time out but then you'll wonder why your battery doesn't last as long as it should. the HD2 is not an iPhone
Are you aware that you can click the cross in the top right of the screen? Clicking it minimizes the app and a long press closes it. You can download something like Touch X Task Manager that can reassign these the other way around so a short tap on the cross closes the app. This is just as quick as clicking a hard button and as stated assigning it to end key either single or long press prevents other important features namely switching to standby for a short press and turning the phone off for a long press.

[Q] Problems with my G2 Keyboard

My keyboard has been having problems. Ever since I updated my NightlyRom twice, I see that some of the letters I press on the physical keyboard have become a program launcher.
If i am typing a sentence, and I press 'b', then it launches email program. If i press 'p', then it launches music player. if i press 'L', it launches calendar.
How can I fix this?
I don't know anything about that rom but you can go into Settings > Applications > Quick launch and try removing all the shortcuts that are there.
thank you! that seem to fixed the problem
