The most annoying thing ever!
The bloody app/programs window wont close!!
And not even hitting the k/b win logo > Today will work either.
Not even magic button works - only a soft reset will do it . then you are waiting till you either use the phone or venture stupidly into MyPrograms
Bloody infuriating..
anyone have a solution?
cheers guys,
LR
The phone app works best if you mark it as "Keep Alive" and "Don't show when inactive" in Magic Button. I've seen the "Programs" issue you mentioned, but selecting "Today" always gets rid of it for me.
Cheers,
Steve.
thx I will give the M. Button options a whirl!
Did you guys found a solution on the small blank square spot on the upper right hand corner of the screen where the OK button lies when using Magic Button?
Sorry - not sure what problem you are refering to...
Cheers,
Steve.
No problem with Magic Button...
For killing phone app, I found 2 utilities working...
First Xbar3...let you show the phone app and a trick to kill it.
Second one...http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJPhoneToggle works on 2003se and 2005 Qtek 9000.
Curious. Why would you want to close the Phone app?
Isn't it the whole point of the device?
If you use your pocketphone more as a pda than a phone, the phone app takes somme Mb of memory... Really closing it after a call give you the possibility to take some precious Mbytes back for running programs...
VJOkButt also has a specific option, -phclose, to close the phone after each use - very useful when assigned to the red hangup key with AEButtonPlus.
Note, closing the phone doesn't stop the phone ringing, so does save you some memory without sacrificing the phone's functionality, but it does cause a minor incompatibility - trying to dial from Contacts may crash out.
However, in day to day use I don't recommend closing the phone unless you're really tight on mem.

Actually, it is not a problem but an aesthetic concern on my part. I am not using any skin program. The last time I tried Magic Button, if I am at the today screen with no open application, the location on the upper right hand corner where the "OK" button is shows a blank square. I was just wondering if I am the only one who had this oddity.
I have no skinning soft and I don't have a blank square... The color of that part of the taskbar, when nothing written, is the same than the rest of the bar. But I read stuffs like yours on other forums...

I can't seem to find this option in Magic Button. Can you please direct me on how?
Hello all,
Does anyone here use PocketCM (an iPhone-like application for contacts)? It's a great program and works really well except when I try to install and select a new theme. When I go to the settings and press "Choose Theme", it only lets me choose one theme (the defaul), and I can't scroll over or anything to select a different theme. I hope this makes sense, and I hope someone out there knows something about this. I was gonna post in the forum on PocketCM's website, but I can't register in it for some reason. Please help me out if you can! Thanks!
-- Nick
Nevermind -- I figured out a way that works (even though it's very inconvenient)

no harm dude, but i think almost everyone here uses pocketcm lol
How does one search for a contact with this pocketcm ? Dont tell me one has to go click on every alphabet? Say I want to look for Jayne - cant I just type Jay etc and out pops Jane or wutever else?

No. You can slide your finger down either the left or right side of the touchscreen and when you release your finger it will jump to that alphabet in your list.

Yes. Just start typing and PocketCM will narrow down your list of contacts which match the characters you typed.

Haha, I wasn't sure.
Anyway, I guess another question is, does anyone have trouble when sliding, and the program will just randomly decide that you meant to press on a name instead of sliding? If that makes sense...?

Errr type where??
I use PocketCM also. I do experience a little glitch when searching the contact alphabetically, when scrolling from the left; it will sometimes show my favorite contacts instead. Does anyone experience this also?

Just slide out your keyboard and type.
But if without the keyboard? How?
Pocket CM disappointment
I'm actually pretty disappointed when it comes to this app, for a two reasons:
1) it randomly hangs: sometimes when I'm scrolling the display just stops working and in my impatience i continue to click and before I know it I've either called someone that I didn't mean to, or i've opened someone for editing.
2) side scroll (alphabetically) does not work worth a damn. It NEVER goes to the letter that I specify, always stops short. I would say that this happens randomly... but no, it happens consistently, every time. Any ideas what is causing this? The only time is seems to work is when I'm going upwards.
Does anyone have any ideas about these two problems ?
Thanks.

I don't have any ideas about those two problems (sorry), but I'm also a little disappointed with the app. Like why I orinigally started this thread, it's such a hassle for me to install new skins because it doesn't work like it's supposed to. Or the inconsistent scrolling, or the hanging like you mentioned.
Also, (although this is minor), has anyone else noticed that if you leave Pocket CM open and go back to the Today screen, and lock the buttons, the top eighth of the screen or so shows the Pocket CM app, and everything else is the Today screen? Does that make sense? Anyway, it's a minor detail, but it's kind of a sore-sight. Has anyone been able to fix this?
Hi there just wondering if anyone had/has this problem and knows how to fix it. Basically when i go to reply to a text message by clicking on it (from inside TouchFlo) the keyboard appears, then dissapears. When i click on the box to type, the keyboard comes up, then jumps back down. I have to press the 'Keyboard' button when the keyboard is down (to bring it up) then type somthing (which doesn't appear) and then press space...to even start typing anything. It's really odd, i've tried re-flashing both stock and a few other ROM's...same wierd problem...anyone?
THANKS!
I also have the same problem. If i double tap a message from within touchflo there is no problem but if i tap it once i have the keyboard problem. It has been bugging me for a while as well! Although it's not major, if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated.
haha it's really annoying the double clicking things doesnt work for me...anyone got a fix? also what rom are you running? thanks
Deleted....
talking to some of my friends, i've realised that this happens on general windows mobile, not just this phone, therefore i will re-post in order to gain more publicity. Thanks
Fortunately for me, everything is working fine, as in the manuals, even after using this set for over a year now. When I click "reply" from within TF, it automatically gives a text/message typing area and a keyboard area at the bottom half which stays there. I can drop the keyboard down (and up) by tapping (once) the keyboard icon at the bottom centre. no problem.
ha! it's lucky for some! What ROM are you using? Thanks

anyone seen this icon when browsing xda dev in opera? seen for first time ten minutes ago after 4 weeks use. looks like it maybe could be full screen or something but doesn't do anything., not there permanently, comes and goes as I zoom and scroll.

Yep, i've seen it too and don't know what it is. What I do know is that the icon is named icon_iframe in the opera skin file. Maybe that does ring a bell with you? Here, it stays very silent
Strange, but glad i'm not just seeing things! hehe. Not seen it since i posted about it, lets hope ignorance is bliss...

A joke would be to make a skin for opera and replace this icon by for example: (since it does nothing and means nothing and only randomly pops up only once a week ....)
Hah, or 'click here'
Do you use full screen mode? I do and that is the icon that is there except when I am scrolling. Clicking it brings up the "non-fullscreen" style menu. Not sure why you would see it there otherwise.

Yea i have 'auto full screen' selected in options, and clicking the icon does nothing.
I have that problem as well. I don't know what is is. Never botherd me.
Well guys if it's name is Icon_iFrame then it should bring up some menu for iframe element in html. Or maybe loading the page in iframe as a new tab. But I really dont know, just guessing =)
When I close a program, I know its in background(via task manager). How do I switch to that program without always loading taskmanager?
Example: If I minimize a IM application, it's in backgorund. B4 I could click on the upper right corner of the screen and see what's running and click on it to bring it forward.

Search for Dutty's taskmanager and your old style HTC taskmanager will be back in the top right hand corner..
Thanks. I was hoping it was "built-in" but I guess not.
I'm using Quickmenu for multitasking
I got my HD2 on Tmobile "launch date", and apps running in background was the first thing to piss me off. So I was forced to turn my Touch Diamond back on and bluetooth over a copy of quickmenu. After I installed it, I went to the options and checked off "register win key of device". Now I have one button access to my task manager in the quickmenu. O, btw, I also checked off on "ok to close program", huge help.
You should try LMT to close apps or switch to a taskmanager ;-)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263
I second the Dutty's reccomendation. But I wonder why the heck they didn't include the HTC tack manager by default?
I recommend using ArkSwitch. It opens a nifty graphical list of running programs when you click the Start area on the top left of any program. That's almost as easy as Alt-Tab.
I just tried LMT after having tried every task manager/quick menu app I could find and REALLY like it so far. Having customizable multi-touch gestures that are available anywhere is awesome.
Time will tell if it's stable, and it might be nice to get rid of the confirmation graphic after a while, but for those wanting fast app switching and easy app management, it's pretty slick.

Thanks! And it is stable (I hope so... ). Also check out the new version v0.7 with multitouch controller support. It will be released soon!
Resco Task Manager...best ever
I'm just trying the old staple freeware task manager "Magic Button" on my T-Mo HD2, and it works well. (Although a little hard with no stylus to aim correctly at the small icons on the taskbar.)
