Greetings all.. After installing the Dusk theme, my phone no longer automatically locks when the screen times out. I have to hit the lock button. Any thoughts on this??
The stock lock feature is a part of TF3D. If you're not running TF3D as your Today screen the lock timeout won't function.

I do like S2U2...I've had it on several of my devices but the Imagio is such a memory hog as it is I think S2U2 just adds a bit more bulk than I would prefer. I also tried speedbooster to help but that caused more problems so I had to uninstall.
Other then the text message tap option not working the device runs pretty well...a little sluggish at times but nothing a clean ram won't fix. Just wish I could find a way to fix it!

I had the same problem; I just set the Windows lock screen to lock for 24 hours and I'm not harassed by it.
This cab will disable the stock lock screen, just install and reboot...
This seems to work quite well on the TP2

It's the task manager from the new Xperia X2.
After further investigation, it does seem to work ok. It's just that tapping the 'X' when a program is running actually quits the program after installing the X2 CAB.

LOL! I've confused you, sorry. I didn't explain myself very well.
Yes, in the task manager clicking the "X" is supposed to stop a program. I was talking about the "X" in the top right-hand corner when a program is running as can be seen in this pic. Before installing this task manger, clicking it minimised a program - now it quits it.

Anyway, here it is in a CAB if anyone wants it.

Ah, this is just too great!
Thank you very much for posting that handy program
I found it to be far more reliable and faster than HTCs original task manager ... at least on my phone ^^

Instead of hacking the registry, you can also set that directly in the Task Manager.
Start > Settings > System > Task Manager. On the Button tab, choose "Enable the "X" button to end running programs"
thank you, I will try it.
Great App !! Really nice and faster as the Original HTC Taskmanager !!!

Been trying for that site to send me an email for 2 weeks now so I can register, and still nothing want to try this X2 out.
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.

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?..

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
First up, hello to everyone.
I'm a new convert to Android having picked up a Galaxy S a couple of weeks ago, and I've got a couple of (what I'm sure are) basic questions about how best to work it:
First up, how do I go about creating folders on my SD Card. I'm assuming that's the best way to organise things like icons, themes, wallpapers etc.
Is it possible to edit the icons on the dock at the bottom of the screen? Can I put different Apps down there? Can I change the icons that those apps use?
I'm having issues with Widgets - do I need to restart the phone each time I install an app with a widget? There are some apps which allow me to use a widget straight away, but then there are some (like the BBC news feed) which just doesn't show up in my widget list
Can anyone reccomend a good link or article on how to root the Galaxy S? I'd like to it be as simplified as possible please.
Thanks loads in advance for both your help and your time.
Cheers
1)while browsing your sd card, press menu button and it will you the option to create a folder
2)click on applications button while on home screen to change to applications view, then click menu (left button) and edit, then you can just drag the icons in and out of the dock
3)not sure, widgets that i tried all ran after installing them without rebooting the phone
4)I suggest you check out the Galaxy S I9000 Android Development subforum right here on xda, there are some great guides there.
1) I just do it when plugged into my PC via USB in Mass Storage mode. =)
2) As random.si said.
3) I've never needed to restart the phone for widget...are you sure those apps actually have widgets?...Any widgets from the Market or installed apps should always be under 'Android Widgets' as soon as the app is installed, otherwise try using the app first as it may have a config or something.
4) There's a stickied guide in the Android Development subforum here! It's dead easy, so no worries there. Just follow the instructions to the letter, but that's not hard for rooting the Galaxy S.
Hi there. Could you just tell me how to close running application? There is 6 application when i open my task manager (middle button for 3 sec) and i cant do anything with them. Is there any button to close application, not minimalize?

Applications open in the background don't use any CPU time and if the RAM they use is needed Android closes them by itself.
Android isn't designed to let the user close applications. If you really have to close them for some specific reason you can use a task killer from the market.

Actually those 6 applications are NOT actually running(necessarily).They are just the last 6 applications you have used.

Ok. Thanks very much guys for your help.
One more question.
How to enable vibration to incoming text message? Can`t see any option for that.
You should try out prehome. When you press home key, it will show the active task, and you can switch or kill task there. Press home key the second time will bring you to home. I love it.
Does anybody knows how to set vibration on incoming messages? Can`t find it. strange

If ever in doubt, always try the menu buttons.
Pretty much every app hides its settings and many controls under the menu buttons to stop the screen being cluttered up with buttons.
The menu button is also context-sensitive to whatever you're doing at the time, so you just need to get used to remembering it's there.
As the previous guys said, Android is designed to not have specific 'closing' or exiting of apps. Rather, they'll hide themselves in the background and once the system needs to free up some ram it'll close once you haven't used for a while automatically in preference of those using the most RAM. It will also usually save the state of that app, so if you go to use it again and Android has already closed it, it will still appear where you left off but just take a bit longer to start since it was cleared from the background.
Most apps will fully close however if you exit by using the back button (bottom-right touch button on the phone), basically reversing your way out of the app until you hit the home screens.
Holding the Home button shows the last 6 apps you had open, whether they're still running in the background or not. It's just a quick way to jump between stuff rather than an actual task manager.
In the JM2 firmware Samsung have added a great widget and task manager app. The widget shows the number of apps still running in the background, as well as a colour for if they're draining battery or performance (ie: processing lots in the background). All you need to do is touch the widget and it'll take you straight to a list where you can close any. Very handy!
While it's easy to get obsessed with using one of the task killer apps on the market all the time, I eventually found with my old Hero that it performed just as well if you ignore what it's doing with RAM or apps since it's intelligent enough to prioritise and close appropriate background stuff without your intervention.
The only reason people were recommending task killers for the Galaxy S was because of the random lags / stalls caused by bugs in the firmware, some of which were caused by it not closing stuff or managing itself properly in the background.
My advice: JM2 firmware and just use the Samsung task manager widget as a guide to if for some reason something high-powered like a game was left open and Android didn't clean it up yet.

While writing SMS, contacts displayed twice
Hi to all,
When I write an SMS and want to choose a contact, they all appear twice, even tough in the phonebook they only appear once because I ticked the option of displaying only contacts from the phone and not from the sim card.
Is there a similar option in SMS that I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Itay

I guess, You are doing End All...instead of single End.
I am using Program Monitor, just pressing END in front of the app !!!
I do have the same problem on jpy...reset worked for sometime but the problem returns.
But what puzzles me is why shd the program manager show contacts open even after closing through the back button alike older firmwares
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Anyone knows why ?
I found that if I upgraded to Program Manager 1.5 the contacts did not close with the back button. Leaving Program Manager at 1.1.12 means contacts will close with the back button.
Thanks, but still no reason to clear icons when you close it
Same here - after i opened contacts, i am not able to close it anymore, besides program manager - and then, all icons disappear for a while - strange...
