iGO8 gives me the option to minimise exit or cancel. so i want to minimise, and click minimise. it minimises, but when i want reopen it again its not there in the drop down menu on the top right corner. this id a hassle. i want to reopen igo from the drop down menu but its not there. any help anyone.
thanks
Are you sure you are looking at the right area, maybe you have tf3d enabled, so you can't see it? Does a task manager show the igo8 process?
When minimised, it won't show up in the task manager drop down menu. But if u reload iGO you won't have to go through the whole start up procedure anymore and you can just pick up where u left of.
jerbo youre right. i know that it picks up from where i started but i would like know y it isnt in the drop down menu

Hi, I have recently bought the 02 XDA Mini S (UK edition) off o2.
I am havin the following problem:
If I turn on my phone and let it load at the today screen:
1. use normal programs such as file explorer, IE
2. Then open up phone (so it shows the keyboard, start> Phone)
3. When I go into task manager to close programs that I have previously opened the tasks have no text but have a picture next to them. if i select say a program that has the file explorer sign next to it and then select switch to it will open a different program, for example IE or the phone keypad to dial numbers
4. If i close all normal programs in ther i can then move down and select programs that appear not to be there, for example the screen is white but something is selected because there is a blue selection box around that item.
5. I can close all programs fine, but then if i go into Start > phone, nothing seems to happen. i can get into the phone option through the contacts menu but if i press the "keypad" left soft key nothing seems to happen.
I have identified that when i go into task manager and then click Menu > View > change mode a task named " cprog.exe" has a title phone when the phone keypad is open. When i end the phone task this title of phone disappears.
I have tried running a new task to get it to open but nothing happens. I took the phone to several mobile shops and showed the blokes in there. generally they have all said that it appears to be a glitch in the software and that I should ask for a replacement.
One of my mates has one and he has the same problem so i think it could be a problem across all the XDA Mini S's does anyone else have this same problem. Can you let me know how to over come it (So far my only way of overcoming this problem is to turn the phone off, and then on again to acess the phone keypad again but this is very frustrating)
Cheers all
was having the same problem myself i think its something to do with task manager closing down key pad.
do a google for magic button and use that to close down running programs instead of task manager should sort it out.
cheers mate, is there any that you can recomed (ie the one that you have installed yourself) I don't want to muck up the phone.
cheers
here you go.since i started using this i have not had the keypad problem.

ahh cool mate, your a life saver! can i easily uninstall this if i wish to, how would i go about it!
cheers for all you help
once its installed, how do i open this to close selected programs? cheers
use memory manager)
you're shutting down the phone app. don't shut it down or better still use settings/system/memory/running programs and stop what you want or stop all. you don't need to download stuff. it's been covered here before.
Hello all!
Sorry if this was asked earlier; didn't find anything like it in the search.
Basically, I really like PocketNAV's functionality; I'd just like it to be invisible unless I call it (via mapped button). Is there any way to get it to display nothing in the upper-right? If I uncheck everything it still has a grey bar in the upper-right (with the time) that blocks my icons. Any way to remove this, or other program just like PocketNAV that doesn't have that problem? Thanks!
Thank you,
Michael
I use SpbPocketPlus and it doesn't put anything in the upper right corner, though that's where you go to use it. For awhile I thought it was broken and then I figured out you have to actually press and hold in order to get it to display the drop down menu. Might be just what you're looking for.
Hey!
I have been searching for a way to have the homescreen upper right "dropdown menu" always there (in every app or screen) insted of the "X" which apere when in an menu or app.
Can someone clever please help me with a reg entry or small app.
Would be great as a built in task manager were you can with ease switch between apps or just close the ones you dont need with the X beside the appname!
I know you can just press homebutton to go to the homescreen and there it is but that feels sluggish and not very optimal.
And I don't wana use an other havy app like spb or so on..I like the original!
Would be much appreciated!
(sorry for bad spelling)
It's built in (at least on official rom 1.93 that I use)
start
settings
system
task manager
button
untick the first option "Enable x button to end running programs"
Tanx fro you answere.
I got the 1.93 rom and it dosent seem to change anything by doing what you told me to do.. The "X" is still there apart from when in Homescreen..
Anyone else upp for the task hehe
Of course the "x" is still there.. hays described a way to minimize the running app. So the taskmanager is not allways on (as u want it to be) but your app will be minimized and you can switch to another app.
Ok.
so there is no build in function for having the "Dropdown menu" always in the upper right corner..
But can if be done with a small piece of reg edit?
Or if someone can make a little fix for it?
Tanx in advance
I'm sorry dude but I don't know any solution for that too.
Didn't hear of any app like that, but maybe u will find one later
There are plenty of task manager applications that change the behavior of the close button.
I use SPB pocket plus, configured so that X is always close, with an improved task manager that pops up when you tap and hold X. There are plenty of other task manager programs available as I said.
i am using nsffan's 6.5 rom. When I run TOMTOM, everythings fine, but when I hit the 'end' button to go back to the today screen, there is no sign of the program running anywhere (by this i mean that when i press the top right corner, it shows other programs that are currently running, but Navigator is not there). I then tried going to to Task manager, and it doesn't show it there either. But if I go into file explorer, and click on the link to launch TomTom, it just instantly opens, and was running the whole time! what the heck...
Just to add...TomTom doesn't show up as a progra anywhere (if I bring up list of programs to add to quick menu, EVERYTHING is there, but not TOMTOM. How can I make it an actual program? The only way to open it is to go into the 'navigator' folder in Program files, and then click on the tomtom launcher icon. any ideas????thank you!!!

go into the tomtom menu on third option page is a option to exit
I know about how to exit tomtom, but my concern is that if i minimize tomtom to take a call or something, and then I don't go back to tomtom, I will have no idea that its still running in the background until I open it next time. It could be runnign for days, and I won't know. Any ideas?

i guess you would have to remember to go back to tomtom to close it down. or close it down altogether instead of minimizing it, windows default task manager shows wether it is running or not
hey so i use to have a task manager on my phone before i did a hard reset..it was always on the top right corner with 3 bars and a small arrow. and when it opened it would open as a small menu on the top right with the programs and an X next to them. It also had 3 tabs above the programs that were running one showed the ram from what i remember. i cant seem to recall the name..does anyone know which task manger im talking about?
there's several of that type actually., I use and recommend "duttys task manager"

Look for "Touch X Taskmanager.cab". This is the one that fits your description above.
Question: does Touch X Taskmanager actually close each program after you use it? I'm trying Duttys right now, but I noticed that it often doesn't actually close some applications (eg. Comm Manager) when you press X. And, yes, I did set it up to close programs by pressing X.

Hmmm I've had no trouble with either Duttys or the Touch X taskmanagers when it comes to closing apps with X. I actually have it set to close with a tap-hold instead of just a tap, and comm mgr closes just fine for me, using either method, with both of those taskmanagers. Is it possible that maybe you're pressing just a fraction of a second too long and it's registering as a "tap and hold" instead of just a tap?
I tried duttys once before and it did not want to work with my phone but it downloaded it yesterday and worked like a charm. It is taking me a while to get used to the fact that it is there got so used to launching the task manager
I have it set to close applications with a tap. My touchscreen is so sensitive that it doesn't take much of a tap to accomplish this. Nonetheless, Duttys frequently leaves Comm Manager and ActiveSynch open, and I have to close them with the regular Task Manager -- one reason I also use Cookies Home Tab, so I could include the regular Task Manager as a QuickLink.

I gotcha. Yes I do see activesync stay open all the time in the background, and it never shows up in Duttys or the touch_x taskmanagers, and I just let it run really. But, never saw that with Comm Manager. Sounds like you've worked around it just fine though
i believe the task manager you are looking for is Maximus Mobile Task Manager or MMTask Manager for short(Not that short) you can find it here >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655853
