Hey
I have a small grip against Comm Manager. I use it a lot but I hate the fact that when you hit exit it actually stays open in the back ground (if you go into your memory settings and view active programs it will say Comm Mgr there)
Anyway to make it force Exit Comm Manager when I hit exit ?

Hi ludester..
Dunno if ya figured it out yet, but it is possible for u to ask the phone to shut down the progs(comm man. by just pressing, not holding the "X"
>settings>buttons>..go figure
kind regards
hold x
if you push on the x and hold it for a few seconds it turns off the running program. a short push on the x just minimizes it. you can also go to running programs and shut it off. hope that helped.
I haven't seen any tweak that will force quit an app or running process by just tapping X if it designed to keep running.
Wk task mgr works very well to force quit. Also shows the comm manager still open in an XP style task bar. Similarly you will see active sync running after a soft reset. (not just running in the background as you say)
Or just map a link to taskmgr.exe in the windows directory. Quick access to force quit any app or process.
I agree about your gripe concerning the comm manager kept running.
If you go to Start->Settings->System Tab->Task Manager->Button Tab, you can change the shut down command from tap and hold to just tap.

I use Calender SBHC a lot- its great. but everytime i try to get out of it, it closes. is it possible to force it to stay running in the background even if i press the X button in the top right.??
otherwise it takes time to load up each time
Don't close it with the cross, press only the ok the hardware ok button, it will minimize the app. And make the calendar in the taskmanager to an exclusive app, so it will not be automatically closed.
You can allso add it to the exception in the HTC task manager settings.
Start the program, go to settings, system tab, then Task Manager.
Long press on SBHC and click add exclusive .
I am using the Touch X Taskmanager.cab that bring back the "X" for closing applications.
I edited the settings of the Taskmanager to close Applications by pressing the "X" in the upper right corner.
When I started the Taskmgr I recognized that the Comm Manager is always in the Background and doesn't close.
Is there a solution for real closing the Comm Manager without using the Taskmgr?

How are you running the Comm Manager? I've tried on mine and it closes for me every time (I use the same task manager cab too).
For me there's no difference if I start from the Startmenu or tipping on taskbar.
Delete this key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System:CommManager.exe
Thank you very much!
Great that works fine after a reboot.
Are there any programs out there that allow me to fully exit a program when I press the "x" at the upper right hand part of the screen? It's very annoying to always have to go to task manager to manually exit many applications. It'd be nice to just click the X, and have the program automatically close.
install duytty's task manager, then you'll have the option of setting a short or long press of 'x' to close programs
How to switch btw running apps quickly? For example, if I am listening to slacker while browsing the web and want to switch back quickly to change the song. I am new to winmo and I am trying to learn the ropes. I currently use the stock task manager to switch, but that is kind of a pain. Is the a mod or app that allows this. Please refrain from raging on the newb.
Arkswitch
I use Arkswitch, which is quite a handy tool and can be accessed easily by assigning a area on the screen, which upon tapping, brings up arkswitch task manager. Just search for it on XDA and you should find it or i guess you can also google for it.
good topic. i was wondering about this too but i would prefer to long-press the home key & have task manager or another app switching app come up... I'm still looking into it.
@rlee
that would be amazing

Lmao YUP! something's should be easy, even already thought of while they're compiling the Win Mobile software together. Why there is no native option to just remap a button to open something baffles me these days. I’ve searched much and all I can come up with is "try AEButton Plus or HButton" but they don’t seem to map the "home key" or some people have issues.... anyways, I don’t want to have an app running in my memory to just get this function to work. still searching...

Here is a Registry hack for the send key to bring up the task manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612530
To use your "send" key to bring up Task Manager:
Settings > All settings > Personal > Buttons > Select Task Manager from "Assign a Program" drop-down menu (there's a scroll bar on the right, kind of hard to see at first)
Now when you hold your green button, the task manager will be brought up.

No, that's to bring up the task manager. They're looking for an easy way to bring up the, um...task manager. LOL yeah I think it's stupid someone didn't come up with a different name for one of them
The cab below will bring up the ArkSwitch task manager (usually accessed by clicking the menu icon just to the right of the clock in the taskbar) when you long-press the send key.
It's from THIS list of great cabs/tweaks, which is also found in the sticky at the top of this forum section. There's also similar cabs there that will perform the same fuction, but with alternative task manager apps.

Actually, with the task manager you can both close apps (by selecting it and hitting "Close") AND switch apps (by double-tapping on the app), so that would work perfectly.
Me, I usually just hit "Home" and most of the time the other app I want to load is on my quick list, if not, I'll just hit "Windows" instead.
dutty's task manager should do the trick.

+1, you can indeed switch between apps on the default Task Manager by double tapping on the program.
Hi Guys,
I'm new with my HD mini, got tons of experience with other HTC devices.
I ran into a problem. How do I close an program?
Like, when I use file explorer, and I want to close it.
There is no exit in the Menu of file explorer.
And the Home, Windows and arrow button won't close it.
When I look into Task Manager, everything is still running.
Is there a way? or do I need to map the close application option to a button?
Sharky
Some apps can be closed by the "back" button.
Others have a close-button inside the app itself or must be closed with task manager.
Did not found another solution for this.
Thanks codiak, but no real help there.
I tried to use AE Button Plus to map the BACK button (arrow button) to the CLOSE command, but it can't be done. Does someone have an other option to assign close to a button?
i haven't found a solution so far, but i use spb mobile shell so there's a shortcut to the task manager on my home screen
it's not THE solution either but i close thanks to 'ArkSwitch'
just have to touch the top bar and then i close programs
If you've got a faster solution, i'm interrested in.
Not realy related to this post, but anyway:
On my old HTC Elf it was also possible to close the services via task manager. On the mini you can only view them.
Did someone found a solution for that?
You can have the missing X button back if you do what i've written here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6740128&postcount=9 After that you can use ameba (or any other) in order to make the X button really close the running apps. Hope i helped
Use the stock Task Manager to close apps. You can assign it to the long-press end button. So that you can bring it up from anywhere anytime. Or click the task bar, then Task Manager. You can also find it in the Start menu.
From the Task Manager list, click on the app you want to close, then click End Task softkey. Alternatively, you can click and hold the app in the Task Manager list, a shortcut menu will pop up, then click End Task.
Hi,
with AEbutton plus a Taskmanager is included. I have connected this with the longpress Windows button. there you can close via touching the red cross. Not very comfortable but it works if you have AEB anyway.
Regards,
83schneider
Zalaros, I think you have the winning answer (for me).
There is my lovely X button again. Although it doesn't close yet. I will look into ameba.
Please post your ameba alternatives here, since I don't know any.
Funny how please "solve" this problem for their own. Thnx everyone
ZapIt
I installed ZapIt (found here) and then copied \Windows\Start Menu\Zap IT!.exe to \Windows\EndKey.exe
It closes any program by longpressing the End key.
I Installed AMeBa and the Settings app by Scarecrow420 and I must say I'm a happy camper
Now I'm at the point of removing my task manager shortcut from my today screen, cause I don't need it anymore.
Thanks for the comment wensing, but I won't be needing it. Ameba give me more options for more buttons.
