Yes, it is very strange that the Task Manager icon was present in all promo pics of the HD2 and not on the actual released device.
Nevertheless, check the Hints and Tips sticky thread and follow no. 7.

If it's a single row of dots across the top, aren't they the Battery meter that's part of SBP Pocket Plus?
dots
Don't know,I have those dots too and had them before installing SPB.
That's the task battery indicator.. It tells you how much battery you still have. If you don't want it, just tap and hold the upper right part, press "options", and uncheck the "task battery indicator"..
By the way just incase you still don't know this.. If ever you're running WM2003SE you might want to tap and hold the upper right part, press on the "close button", click on the "feature options", click on the "Exceptions", click "add", select "browse", then go to windows and search on the "tmail.exe" then select it. This will disable the double sending of SMS to your recipient.
cheers :lol:

Hi rollyblu,
It was exactly like you said, i unchecked the task battery indicator and gone was the "problem".
However i do not seem to have the problem with doublesended SMS messages.
Thanks alot people for all the quick answers
from reading around in the forum and some other forums. I see that alot are using SPB pocket plus. however i also read that this app cannot (well not yet atleast) display storage card memory anyway so i wrote spb and they say they are working on it and that this may be solved in the next release.
my question is this. can you make a shortcut for BT on SPB pocketplus today plug-in? you see my BT icon is missing from the bottom. I use omegaone battpack pro and added a BT icon as a shortcut. however I would like to switch to spb pocket plus because it has tabs, and it has more features (internet explorer stuff, and it is skinnable)!!! I just don't know how to make a custom link to bluetooth? can anyone help me with this? thanks in advance
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?
ok well i have a question what do u guys like to c on your today screen? and how can i put a shortcut to phone on my today screen or on taskbar? i cant find the path for it to put on my taskbar thx in advanced!
:edit: ohh and how can u close out programs when u hit the "x" or "ok" button? cause i know that only minimizes i have a taskmanager but thats a hassel to open & close open & close lol once again i appricate the help!
like this?
If so Phm traylaunch works best!
What is that notes plug-in? Thanks.
notes today plugin avail at handango or pocket gear . Oh by the way as for a great program that closes shoose transcreative majic button. It works very well Have a great night kinmont
how can i put the phone.exe on my today menu or taskbar?
I would say, you don't really need a phone shortcut onto the today screen. Just press the green "dial" button and that brings up the phone application no matter what screen you're in and press the red button if you want to return to whatever screen you were at before. However, I do recommend the free picture dialer plug in floating around here in xda. It works wonders right from the today screen, one touch dialing
could u post where to get that picture dialer thing? i cant find it lol

DavidT,
is that screenshort from your Universal? I have loaded the photo dialler app to my today screen and the pictures are far too small to be useful. Read a post which said it wasn't VGA aware, although they look fine on your screenshot.
TIA

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.
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
