I have task manager 2.7 which features a "switch minimize and exit buttons" option between its options. I mark this option as my programs are quitting after a couple of minutes automatically but it doesn´t work. (this option is always un-checked every time I restarted the task manager no matter if i check it again).
Is there a way to uninstall task manager?
Is there anyway I can tweak the register to do this without having to install task manager?
(I like the programs to stay running as it makes my wizard more efficient and fast)
thanks a lot!!
Mmmmmm
Nop... so change your rom if you dont like this feature and it works bad for you.

Ive installed the latest WM6.1 but just wondering about the task manager to stop programmes that are still running? IS there 1 i can add to it or not? At the moment when things slow down i re start the phone?
Go to Start-All programs-Expert-Task Manager
Or install xBar or SmartToolkit
Or more simply wherever you are in your phone's menu.just push the Standby button in the top of your phone and select TaskManager between the Shut down reboot and profile items.
Thanks guys, that was really easy.
I recently flashed my uni to tomal 8.2 and I love the automatic memory management, I no longer have to soft reset to get more memory, however I think this is preventing me from being able to run background (minimized) applications, such as mortplayer behind tomtom like I could before. Is there a way to do this, even if it means temporarily disabling the automatic memory management?
you can temporarly close the task manager by long pressing the [x] upper right and choosing functions---exit
for disabling it permanently, from the same menu above, go to preferences---startup (in the bottom line) and choose disable, or just delete the link wktask.lnk from windows\startup folder
I'm not sure that the memory management and the task manager are the same thing.
Cheers,
Steve.
ops, my fault... thought the problem was minimizing the application instead of closing them, didn't pay much attention at the question.
anyway, i haven't experienced problems with apps in background, but i don't use tomtom and mortscript, so i'm no help for you, sorry for the useless answer.
Whenever I try to run a background application (like playing music with Media Player) and I return to the home screen or I open another application through the start menu, my TC kills the background application after a few seconds. Does this also happen to any of you? Is it something I've done? As it is, I cannot multitask, and frankly it is very annoying.
Just for the record, I'm not closing applications with the X button (configured to minimize only), but this happens even if I switch applications without touching the X button.

This happens to me as well. I especially find this troublesome, because I'm running SecondToday for some critical plugins, like PhoneAlarm. The OS always kills SecondToday when I'm trying to activesync or if I open a large program, like Copilot. It does this despite the fact I have over 100MB of free program memory. Very frustrating.
I've found that if I have more than 110MB free, it will leave most programs alone. It's when I get below 110MB that it starts to kill programs. Not sure why it's closing programs with so much free program memory... :-/
By the way, this is known WM behaviour. I'm just used to it doing it when I'm down to 4-6MB left.
This was a thorn in my side for almost a week until I found this fix:
Using a registry editor (I use Total Commander) go to
//registry / HKCU / software / HTC / Taskmanager / EnableAutoKill
Value by default is "1"
Change to "0"
Do a soft reset and your problem will be solved
There is also a way to decrease the threshold so that it will autokill when less than the default memory is remaining, but for me; when I have the most things running is likely to be the worst time for the phone to autokill my processes. That is why I would disable it altogether
It worked... Thanks!
I actually tried that tweak several days ago, but it did not solve the problem. It appears something else besides the HTC task manager was killing SecondToday. I suspect the actual OS, because it would happen ALWAYS when I tried to Activesync.
I've since scrapped SecondToday and am using another method to run PhoneAlarm on the actual Today screen, which is much more reliable. I needed a stable solution.
I thnk you can under task manager, assign those programs to the exclusive list, then it won't shut it down?

Nah. That was the first thing I tried.
That won't keep WM from killing programs anyway, if the OS *thinks* it needs more memory.
This has always been a "feature" of WM -- I just don't understand why it's killing apps when I have >100MB of free program memory... ??
I got my father a sprint HTC Snap (Dash 3g) and was wondering if there is a program that would automatically kill running tasks. I don't think he will bother to go to the task manager and kill the task from there. There are no apps that he would want running in the background so Everything can be killed.
Any app for that? There is no exit option in IE and the camera and many other apps which I think is retarded.
I think the way he exits a program is by pressing the Home key and it keeps the program running in the background.

I'm using Oxios CloseApps, works perfect.
Google for it!
Thanks for the reply. This program seems good, Does this program shut the apps automatically, or do I have to run it once in a while. Maybe shuts all programs every 5 minutes if the phone isn't currently on... or maybe shuts idle tasks after they havent been used for several minutes.. etc
If there isn't such an app, is there an app that would automatically open a program every xx minutes? then I can train that app to open Oxios every couple of minutes.
If it was my phone, I wouldn't mind running it, but then again this is for my father and I don't think he would bother.
Moved as not software release.
Hello,
I have tested many many startup cleaning apps. I have wandered in the forums and external app sources but never found a true startup manager that can prevent startup of apps. I have 275 apps installed on my phone and at least 20-30 does not have option to disable themselves on startup and just run all the time and i have to kill them occasionally.
Here is what all startup cleaners do:
- you boot the phone
- clutter begins, all process of ruthless apps are started at the same time
- phone hangs for minutes (3-10)
- your startup manager was set by you to "prevent" some of them however it just loads along with them then kills the listed processes.
- some "good" programs then exit other run all the time and has to be killed once more manually even though they have no more to do!
So basically this does not speeds up the startup but prolongs it as you have one more app running that has to take care of the startup apps. This is not the right way!
Can we just have one app that can REMOVE from the startup all of these processes and then exit? Configure once in a while and has no running process?
The same for WiFi. There are many that start with WiFi enabled and begin pulling crap from the internet. This should happen only if i need it!
When i enable my WiFi i have 2-3 minutes lag because of the population that is attempting to get the internet access one on top another faster... Most of them i need only at will. I dont need them to run all the time or when i enable my net.
No one knows of such app here? Common!
Try autostarts. ;-)
Hmm that one seems to do the job!

did you try Autorun Manager, it seems to work quite ok for me...
another alternative could be Optimize Toolbox, although this one seems to disable only apps based on startup receiver
