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?

What is this thing please !?

Hi all,
I have a Dot or a small Square on the top left of my screen !
What is it ? and how can I get rid of it ?
There was no program running in the task manager when I took the screenshot, see it in the attachment.

Soft reset get rid of it?

I have it too on Itje´s 6.5, i think it comes from the new panel manager.

I'm using Itje´s 4.5 rom, but I think I had it also in the original R2A UK rom.

I suspect it has got something to do with Finger Keyboard 2. I have the square too but only in landscape mode. See if you can get rid of the square by changing the SIP to some other keyboard.

I see you're using Gtrab's taskbar, perhaps that has something to do with it?

Windows slide unlock, Can you move it?

I like the windows slide to unlock feature.
But I hate the location of it? What's the point of putting it right at the top of the screen
If you've got the phone in your right hand it's almost impossible to slide it around (not that I'm complaining about the screen being too big )

I have the slider on the bottom of the screen. I installed 3 cabs for the lockscreen. One of these put the slider on the bottom of the screen. The 3 cabs I used are Dusk_6.5_Lockscreen_v3.0.CAB, HeartofWolf Lockscreen fix v4 transparent.cab and tommy34_fix_2_not_disappear_(W(Q))(Q)VGA.cab. Found them on htcpedia (heartofwolf you can find here http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363)

OK, don't bother. I tried it and it looks good. Seems to do exactly what I want.

hmm, maybe can skip s2u2 then, since having not so big hand sliding all the way up with one hand was kinda hard
thanks

Why not use your right hand thumb to unlock it?
I can do it with no problem when I'm holding the HD2 in my right hand.

possible to move the small, "x" and "ok" button?

I'm using a gel skin, I find it difficult to press the small x and ok buttons on the top right of the phone without having to peel the skin back just a little to use the buttons. Is it possible to move them to the center or even a little to the left where they are more accessible with one hand instead of using two?
Thanks

Cant be done. Try 6.5.x roms for more finger-friendly

I totally agree that the X is not accessible with a gel skin. Is there a cab that would allow this? Would someone please make a cab app for this? Thank you!

Thanks for the responwell that kinda blows. I will look into other roms and see what they can do.
much appreciated

Why not use the back hardware key (the arrow) at the bottom of the screen? It has the exact same effect...

You are correct. Thanks!

Home screen

How do I get the home screen like the evo with that cool clock/wheather widget?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Long press on your home screen, select widgets, scroll down to clock and select it. It will bring up a clock widget selector. Hit the right arrow at the bottom until you see the clock you want and hit select. There ya go.

Sweet, thvm.
One more:
I like the curved action bar near the bottom that has the phone icon, app dock arrow, and the fav/cuctom button. How do i get that?
Thanks

You would need to try a different rom with the standard version of sense, or see if you can find some type of theme.

Like the above post says, you'll need to root and load a custom ROM to get standard Sense on the MT4G. See my sig for a link to the direct port of the Desire HD ROM, it's awesome!

Thank you for the help
