best wishes from bavaria

do you mean the top right icon in the today screen (home desktop)?
if so, did you install quick menu?
I also have the same issue. The entire top task bar disappears sometimes.. In order to bring it back, i have to click on the panel button and choose the same panel again. Its primarily happening on the default xperia panel.. must be some app which is causing the task bar to crash.. not sure how to troubleshoot it.. any help would be greatly appreciated!
What apps do u have installed on the x1 harmsing
Same here. After installing SPB Plus 4 it disappeared (replaced by SPB task manager ??). But after uninstalling it, it didn't came back even after some soft resets. Any suggest. is there any cab/fix to bring it back?

I have had my TD2 since it's release in the UK about a month ago. Since then I have loaded various bits of software, some have worked and stayed....many didn't and have been binned!
I have just noticed that at some point the task manager icon on the top right hand side of the today screen (next to battery meter) has gone!! I have tried a soft restet with no luck.
Has anyone noticed this behavior before, and if so is there a way to get it back without hard reset?
Thanks in advance guys
have you tried going back to task manager and checking the 'enable quick menu on today screen' in the button tab?
I noticed when i tried using Quickmenu app it unchecks this option

SOLVED!!
Many thanks! I was constantly going back to task manager to check for open programs, and never spotted that check box!!
If you can't find an answer to a problem on xda developers, you won't find it anywhere on the web.....htc should sponsor this site!!
Thanks again

This is the task manager with that setting.
Hi.
I've flashed my phone with the FingerMe Titanium Series but it didn't come with the HTC Task Manager.
I've went for the .cab and found the latest versions. Followed the instructions saying to install do the device memory. After that, it was installed and I was able to see the top right screen icon. But then I made a soft-reset and when it booted back to the OS the item was gone.
I went to the Settings tab and the program is installed since I can still see it's options menu where I have checked the option "Enable Quick Menu on Today screen".
Really have no idea why it disapeered so I did some search and found some topics talking about some registry edit, but since I'm not very confident doing that I decided to post my problem in the Herald forum to know if anyone, with this phone and last version of HTC Task Manager, had the same problem.
Thanks for reading.
Peace.

After a soft reset, sometimes, the Task Manager doesn't appear. It takes like 5 minutes for it to appear, sometimes. It's weirdddd.
So, yours hasn't appeared, even after playing around with the phone for a while? Maybe try another soft reset, wait 10 minutes, and then report back.
Nope. It doesn't show. Don't know what's happening but now when I hit the X button to close a program or a settings menu simply, sometimes it crashes the today screen and I have to soft-reset lol .
Peace.
I thought the point of it was to change the "x" to mean "shutdown" rather than minimise.I installed it and then tried facebook only to click the x and find it still showing up in taskmanager.
I can see that it has added a little icon top right with a drop-down arrow and this lists the open apps with an x by them to close.
So how is that any different to what I had before?
click on the task manager icon in top right of screen and a few more icons appear...one looks like a spanner... click this to change settings so programs will close instead of minimise.
Also, try to soft reset after install.
Aha thanks. It was set to "long press to close" by default. Have switched it to short-tap-close and it works now

Yep I have taken to doing that as a routine after app installs esp ones that interfere with system usage
Hello,
It is really annoying that every time i close a program by pressing the top right X, the program just minimizes but not really closes...
This leaves a dozen progs open in the background all the time wish I don't need any more...
Can't the X button be set so It really closes the app in stead of minimizing it?
Thx

you need to go into the options of duttys task manager and set it to close instead of minimise when you hit x.
Thing is, I don't see any icon or menu referring to it. Nothing that indicates the app is installed, besides in the list to remove it.

Go to Settings->Menu->More->System->Task Manager->Button->End programs by tapping "X"...

start an application (opera for instance) and then hit the home screen button... the app will still be running and what you should now see is three little white bars in the top right corner of your home screen. That is Duttys task manager... click on it and you will see what apps are currently running as well as icons for options.
No white bars to be found...
Hmmm the version I found states 2.1.1918 but I looked and I have 2.5.1921?..

There's also an option there to show the little white bars in the top right corner of your home screen.

Most apps close now by pressing X, only active sync and com manager don't want to shut down by pressing X, any ideas why?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Check nº82
They are in the list of exclusive apps. You need to do the opposite of what says in tip 82, removing the apps you want to from the list...
Try this. I am using it and it closes all apps with the X button 100%. At first it looks complex, but if you install all three files it is easy to setup. It also gives you options of an extra function of your choice if you hold down the X and the Windows soft button.

I think it is repllog.exe.
I've run ActiveSync and then opened the task manager that came with my HD2. On that I've set it up to show process names instead of App names, and there it shows repllog.exe for the ActiveSyn
hi all...
the lock screen on my hd2 has gone missing... pressing the red button directly brings me into the sense UI... any suggestions what went wrong?
thanks!
any help with above issue pls?
Have you recently installed then uninstalled a custom lockscreen? Look at my sticky (link in my sig) and towards the bottom of the first post you'll see some attached cabs. download the one that says Lockscreen HD2 original then install it. It should bring you back to normal.

hi there...
i did stumble upon your sticky and downloaded the lockscreen HD2 original cab file yesterday itself. I have soft reset the device after the installation but still there is no lock screen. Once the device boots up its directly in the Sense UI. Anything else I can do to fix OR might have done wrong?
Thanks for your input!
** Also, to answer your question, no i have not installed or uninstalled any custom lockscreen.. I am still in the learning stages of flashing a ROM and once I get comfortable with all the steps involved, I'll take the plunge but at this point the device is in stock condition except for the apps I have installed. Thanks

Thanks for the link - it kind of helped, which is to say - when i go to start menu and tap on "lock" it does lock the screen but after unlocking it when i press the red button to shut the display and again press it the lockscreen doesnt come up.. i'd hate to click twice before I press the red button only to make sure it doesnt come to life and call my aunt while in my pocket :-/
I tried reinstalling the cab from your sticky to the device (coz I wasnt sure where i had installed it previously) but the problem persists and No I havent installed any BSB or any other tweaks (atleast not intentionally)
So when you go to start , etc, then lock, after you unlock it you're presented with the lock screen Options. Are those set accordingly? Once set, it'll ask you to save changes, then click ok in top right corner.

Okay so here's what I do -
- tap on start menu
- bottom left soft key says "lock"
- tap on lock
- device lockscreen comes on
- now if i press the red button to switch off and then press it again, the lockscreen stays.
-but if i slide the lock on the lockscreen to reveal the sense UI, close the device and then switch it on again, it doesnt show me the lockscreen
does that help you help me?
thanks a ton for your patience!

Do you have cookies home tab/chteditor or bsb tweaks installed? If you do that might be causing the fail.

No I dont. I dont have any of those installed. I want to install the cookies but havent installed any mods yet. The only things I've installed on there are apps.
One of them being Resco Explorer which has a Task manager with it. Could that have made my screen disappear?

I don't think Resco Task Manager is the problem. I have it installed, and I still have the Lock screen that displays when I hit the red key.

Listen...
Once you go to the start menu, select SETTINGS. Then tap the MENU soft key in the bottom right and select ALL SETTINGS. You should see LOCK in the top-right. Tap it, this locks your screen. Immediately unlock. You are now at the LOCKSCREEN OPTIONS page. Set accordingly. Save. Tap OK in top right. Done. Drink a beer.

I already tried this before.. Tapping on the Lock icon in the "ALL SETTINGS" does not lock the screen. Instead, it directly takes me to the password screen (maybe what you referred to as lockscreen options) where my first choice is a checkbox for "Prompt if phone unused for ___ mins and the other option is to choose a password.
Yeah that's the stuff. That's where you enable it. Check the box, set the password (pin).
Sorry for not realizing you had been there. If setting and saving those options doesn't work, not sure what to tell you.
Are you connected to an exchange server?
(you have to make sure after you hit the obvious SAVE button that pops up, you have to hit the OK button in the top right the screen.)
