Phone app will not close / Programs window won't close

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?

Blueangel WM6 Contact list problem.

Ok so here's the problem:
Whenever i want to go to my contact list, either by pressing the contact button, or going to my contact list via, Phone or "Contacts" on the start menu, it just flashes "contacts" at the top, doesn't display my contacts, and then just goes back to the today screen.
Is there a fix for this?
Many thanks.

Anyone?

as soon as you push power&reset, you now press the camera&record buttons simultaneously. three lines will come up, and you use both camera & record buttons to navigate and toggle from no to yes to no... so at the end you'll get no/yes/yes (1st line/2nd line/3rd line)
the mail button is the 2nd button from the left (the one with the envelope icon).
all of these are in the wiki, which you're supposed to read before you attempt to upgrade. it appears you haven't done any reading yet, hehe...

Lool ok , now the mail button is the SECOND BUTTON BELOW THE SCREEN , with the Mailbox icon, next to Start up menu button on the left and the IE button on the right , to be more specific , the one with the set of 4 buttons . U can easily find it by look at the FRONT SIDE of the device . In Any case , you DID NOT find it , ill post you a Screenshot . cheersss

I did read the Wiki (Much help), and from there it was straight forward, it was just this little problem that was bugging me, but thank you very very much.

Bingo,.. it's working.
Everythings running in order, just like it did when i had WM5.
oooh,.. i wonder if i still have Worms World Party on it.

that will be lost... a result of the no/yes/yes action you did.
in any case, i assume you wouldn't have any problem installing the said game.
cheers!

I got a backup sitting somewhere.
I'm not too fussed though that i've lost it, cause this device serves me alot more than just a games device.

Soft button assignment...

I have assigned the right soft button to rotate the screen, but every once in a while it manages to reset itself and reverts back to the Today menu...which is annoying....(I think it does it everytime i charge the phone)
Can anyone help....?
Also, is there a way of answering a phone call sraight to speakerphone?

TouchFlo3D installed?

Yes it is....

TF3D automatically maps the right button to "Today". I don't know if there is a fix for this because I don't use it but you might want to read through the related threads for the solution.

That is frankly inconvenient to say the least...I'll have to research this and find a solution...Thanks for your help...

Why not just deinstall TF3D? It's crap, it's slow, it messes up the phone and the usabililty is very weak because you have to flip the pages to get all the functions sonyericsson has in one panel.

I like it to be honest...its the main panel that I use...
It is slow, but I don't mind it though.....personal opinion I suppose

Learn 2 read. He said he's already done so.
@Kevin_seymer: I don't think this is a software problem. Usually it works when you turn it off through the Settings, I mean some spilt coffee can't do anything to SOFTware. I think your problem is Hardware-related. Perhaps there is a short-circuit or something of the kind that triggers phonebook and calendar. I suppose those are your softkey mappings, since they are by default. A possible solution that will make your problem less annoying (But no solve it) would be to map the softkeys to nothing. This would free you from the apps opening all the time - but that's it.

Yes. But it hasn't happened to me for a long time now. Perhaps cuz I don't really use panels anymore. But I can confirm it happened to me multiple times.
And @Kevin_seymer: If you need help with remapping the softkeys, ask. I can tell you how if you can't figure it out.

I have mapped the left and and right soft keys to nothing, and things got a little better. Thanks =)

Secret menu on X2 seen

Today I was holding my phone when i was at work and i dont know what i preseed and a menu apeared. I couldnt even look at it real good couse my boss was comming towards me. it was like a service menu.
i klicked on accelerometed button (there was more buttons, accelerometer is the 2nd button i think) and then there was choosen 270 degrese option witch means left sided landscape and there was XYZ coordinates wich changed when i was moveing the phone and some other options.
i couldnt looked up the whole menu couse my boss was there and was asking me something just a second afther that. It must be a testing menue or something.
I remember i was pressing the front buttons but cant recall the combination and i think it was the end call and the OK buttons that i was pressing.
But there is a menu and i want to get to it again. does anyone know this combination od buttons. the menue is only in black and white, no icons no colors...

><>><><

I don't know the combinaison but the soft is ServiceMenu, you can found it on the windows directory

This doesn´t work? Where can I type this combination? In dialer??

Is this true???

abouth the ><>><>< ofcorse it isnt true that was the combination on the t610 and k 700 k750 phones. on the windows mobiole this isnt the combination.
abouth the service menue yes it is true i just need to figure out the combination.
maybe its supposed to be hidden and with help from some bug it popped up I dont know. But it is there.
I saw some forums when i was searcinh the web to fond this menu that some folks have reporting thair phones have secret menues just for fun (scams, hoaxes) but i have seen it. Im so interested in looking on it and go trough the whole menu.
Ill search further.
Sorry abouth bad english.

Hey, guys, has anyone read what wrote toffeur? You don't need the combination, just look into the /Windows directory and find... who would guess that, ServiceMenu.exe.

Nice, it works. And you can disable accelerometer, which I find is useless and drains battery thanks heaaps =)
UPDATE: Can also edit ILLUMINATION Settings!
UPDATE 2: NVM, it doesnt save the settings.. =(

yes, the combination works, right is end key, left is call key

Works haha!

It does work! who could figure out that start call and end call buttons to be left and right. Nice work it only took us 2 days to figure out what I pressed. Ty. Could anyone with X1 try if this works on his phone to?

This is handy to check if your screen is actually calibrated properly.

Doesnt work on my X1 either.
