Phone app will not close / Programs window won't close - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

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...

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

HTC X-Button

HTC X-Button is now on the upload FTP in the Tools and Programs area - works great on the Hermes - use the new applet in the Settings menu to configure.
Thanks, moved to safe heaven: HTC X-Button.CAB
Report: Did not work on my 8525.
@patmannyc:
You have to enable it here first:
Start -> Settings -> System -> X-Button
Perfect...
Running well on my UNI_Beta 3.2..
Thank's

No, this program allow close program by tapping "x" on the screen .

Probably not much point as you say. I'm going to try it just to see all the options it has. If it's good it stays, if not bye bye!!
Mike
A very lightweight version instead of having to have something better, which is good.
I wish they'd integrate it with the ok/close buttons on the device though to make one handed use easier. By that I mean, press button = ok, hold button = close.
This or magic button? I feel magic button is better, lets u see the taskbar.
It does what it was intended to. Good work.
sutheep: yes, i tried this and stay with magic button 2
program is a bit cleaner than magicbuttons.
anyway, just need to find a simple battery program (since I've been using the one in magicbuttons anyway)
If you are looking for a small battery monitoring program try to find the program named "batti". It's really small and work good.
I found that, unlike other similar software, it closes ActiveSync, and handles not responding apps just like on BB: shows a message that the app does not respond and offers to kill it.
i thing it has a bug. try to tap x button when phone app active, it closes down phone app and it realy kills it so your phone app won't start anymore
Wouldn't SmartsKey works to achieve this?

Blueangel WM6 Contact list problem.

Ok so here's the problem:
Whenever i want to go to my contact list, either by pressing the contact button, or going to my contact list via, Phone or "Contacts" on the start menu, it just flashes "contacts" at the top, doesn't display my contacts, and then just goes back to the today screen.
Is there a fix for this?
Many thanks.
Anyone?

as soon as you push power&reset, you now press the camera&record buttons simultaneously. three lines will come up, and you use both camera & record buttons to navigate and toggle from no to yes to no... so at the end you'll get no/yes/yes (1st line/2nd line/3rd line)
the mail button is the 2nd button from the left (the one with the envelope icon).
all of these are in the wiki, which you're supposed to read before you attempt to upgrade. it appears you haven't done any reading yet, hehe...
Lool ok , now the mail button is the SECOND BUTTON BELOW THE SCREEN , with the Mailbox icon, next to Start up menu button on the left and the IE button on the right , to be more specific , the one with the set of 4 buttons . U can easily find it by look at the FRONT SIDE of the device . In Any case , you DID NOT find it , ill post you a Screenshot . cheersss

Bingo,.. it's working.
Everythings running in order, just like it did when i had WM5.
oooh,.. i wonder if i still have Worms World Party on it.
that will be lost... a result of the no/yes/yes action you did.
in any case, i assume you wouldn't have any problem installing the said game.
cheers!

Weird icon disappearing

Hi again,
I've noted that on the right top of the screen in WM6, the Volume and half of the mobile range has disappeared, just like there's something over it...
Any Idea on what could it be?
Thanks!
It might help, but the time doesn't show off on te top of the screen, even if I have it checked.
Nobody can help me
Perhaps some stupid software that has been installed. Try a soft-reset.

I get the same with a funny task manager (don't remember the name)... in WM5
you can disable x-button and see if this thing is still there
Not sure about the X button.
Looks like that is active as you can see something in the corner.
If I look at my device (left to right) I have G; signal, speaker, time, X.
He has G; Signal, [Blank] X.
So something is overwriting speaker / time.
Are you running Batterybar as I know that they use that place.
It looks like an app that is just not displaying as it should..
Do you remember what you have installed and what used to use that space?

Now I remember that there was a small white battery level indicator that's not there anymore.
Is there any way to recover it or delete it?
Thanks!!!
The best thing for you is to reflash WM6-Helmi_c, and dont forget the NO/YES/YES game at the start.
And follow these step by step:

Thank you guys. It seems like it's working now.
Now it does make a real Hard-reset.
Thank you very much.
I found out what happened. It's every time I start ScummVM.
I've made a backup of what I had, so now I'm not worried anymore.

Soft button assignment...

I have assigned the right soft button to rotate the screen, but every once in a while it manages to reset itself and reverts back to the Today menu...which is annoying....(I think it does it everytime i charge the phone)
Can anyone help....?
Also, is there a way of answering a phone call sraight to speakerphone?

TouchFlo3D installed?
Yes it is....
TF3D automatically maps the right button to "Today". I don't know if there is a fix for this because I don't use it but you might want to read through the related threads for the solution.
That is frankly inconvenient to say the least...I'll have to research this and find a solution...Thanks for your help...

Why not just deinstall TF3D? It's crap, it's slow, it messes up the phone and the usabililty is very weak because you have to flip the pages to get all the functions sonyericsson has in one panel.
I like it to be honest...its the main panel that I use...
It is slow, but I don't mind it though.....personal opinion I suppose
