[Q] Programs Won't Close!!! - General Questions and Answers

after I installed about 5 programs on my sprint touch(official 6.1) programs don't close with X. I've gone into the settings and it is on close with X but that is just minimizing it. and even if I hold x it doesn't close. I know this isn't much info but Im on my touch right now so that's why. oh yea and I can post all my installed programs if necessary.

You need to get together with this guy and trade devices.
Sorry, just joking. Anyway, make sure you don't have any programs installed that have control over the X button. Such programs take-over the X-button and can mess with HTC Task Manager. WKTask is a popular programs which does this.

the only thing like that that I have installed is like another htc task manager

well um since i have no help yet im bumping. and i just uninstalled the htc task manager that i got from the manilla stuff and now the drop down box doesn't even show up on the Today screen. And X still will not close programs, just minimize them, except now i have to go to settings to exit them

I think you have to long hold x to close (not just tap) tap minimizes

no I have the settings in task manager set to tap x to close. and I have tried holding x and it doesn't do anything. also if you know a registry key that has to do with it please say so

bumppppppp

Had the same problem with wm6.1.
Solved this with "HTC x-button v1.5". Maybe this will help you.

oh wow thanks thanks thanks for this.

That function is built in Spb PocketPlus.

batterystatus has a good task manager
I just want any that don´t use a lot of memory
magic button
the executable itself is less than 100kb in size
dinarsoft Handyswitcher all the way. Has lots of functions and can be fully controlled via dpad
i use quickmenu. i just press the ok botton, and the app is closed, or tap the x icon on screen to minimize an app. no need for going through a bunch of menus just to close an app.
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/quickmenu.shtml
+1 on quickmenu, highly configurable for what you want to close and what you may always want to minimize.
Pbar works really well and so does wktask.
do you want a task manager? ( list of programs, select which to close )
or
An app to close a program which is on screen currently? ( closes instead of minimizes )
I just want a program to close the aplication,because a task manaker probably will use more memory.Don´t you?
Can you help me if im agree or not?
vijay555's vjokbutt would be the best then it doesn't 'run' in the background as it is a .exe file which you would need to map to one of you hardware buttons to close the current app

HTC Task Manager enable?

How can I enable htc task manager on my
Sprint HTC touch the "home screen" after i installed the latest version of manila 2d
on the right hand corner>
any help?
anyone?
Look for a cab for task manager 2.1 build 34837.5
Also make sure in the settings you have 'show quick menu on today' ticked.
Sorry to kick this old topic, but I have the same problem.
Show on Today screen is ticked, and when I disable M2D it does show. Just not when M2D is active, so I guess the problem is in M2D.
Does anyone happen to know what the apparent benefits are of not having an exit function on apps that run on WM? It seems odd that you should have to go into task manager and close all the apps you're not running.
Probably a very noob question but still.

HTC Task Manager icon missing

Hi. I'm running Manila 2D 19 and I have HTC boot launcher, task manager, and quick menu installed. I believe those are all the programs I need for it to work, but the top right corner is just blank.
I did a search and found people referring to an option under settings --> task manager --> buttons --> enable in quick menu? But I don't have that option.
Weird thing is that it works fine with Manila 2D 22. Any suggestions? Thx.
I have the same problem, I searched alot in the forms for a solution without getting good resluts. Can anyone help with this issue?
I have HTC Cruise 2 with WM6.1.

I had the same problem. Installed some kind of HTC taskmanager (Google helps) and after that witk SKTools changed back to original ROM files (look for *task* in the listing in SKTools). Now I have the icon bac on its place and working.
Solution
Normally you can find in your HTC Phone the following setting:
Settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X".
if you cannot find task manager in Settings/system/,that's because the chef didnt cook it into the rom.
The solution for missing Task Manger Setting:
if there is no Task Manager setting,then you need to download Touch X Taskmanager.cab,install,use resco explorer to search TaskManagerApp.exe in Windows (in my wm6.1,the shortcut dont appear in Startup menu),open it,and in Buttons,enable end programs by tapping "X".
Need to reset to take effect.
Touch X Taskmanager.cab can be downloaded in this thread:

Thanks, mine disappeared too, have no idea how? lol.
Works now!

Task Manager WM6.5?

Hey guys, im actually really stumped on this one.. i cant seem to find any Task manager that works on WM6.5 for my Atom Life. I used to use WKTASK and Quickmenu but now i wanna keep the honeycomb cause it runs really smooth on this new build and WKTASK screws up everything to be honest lol. I'm just wondering if you guys have any solutions?
PS: I'm trying out pBAR 1.4 and its not that great on wm6.5.. not very finger friendly.
Isn't there one in WinMo 6.5 already?
Maybe try the HTC one from the Diamond, there's a topic somewhere with all HTC application download links.

What problems are you having with WK Task and Quick menu ? I used both with Josh's Kaiser roms, and both worked well.
Well WKTASK just seems to kill my start menu after maybe 3 or so minutes.. So as long as WKTASK is running, my WM6.5 Honeycomb startmenu OR the Quickmenu startmenu will not open. its weird really.. and im using chrisch's atom life wm6.5 ROM 21202. Also the HTC manager doesnt seem to do anything on my device... nothing at all.. it installs.. i can access the settings but it doesnt show up on the OS itself. so its pretty much useless at this point (ive tried different versions).
yeah, I have the same issue as well...
For wm6.5 the best task manager for me is the HTC task mananger (at least for now). It integrates well to the new interface of wm6.5
Where To download latest HTC Task Manager
please give me the download link

just a little next time

lol im using the old task manager by HTC now along with WKTASK using twolfs fix. Ive also got the ACER task manager installed and binded cause its actually rather useful
What is twolfs fix for wktask? Can you give me the link?

add \window\shell32.exe as an excluded app
colours are still messed up, hopefully the Wktask guys will update it to cope with the 6.5 theme system soon..
I have set all my colors to black in wktask and now it´s looking quite good.

TaskSwitch
I wan't to share the fastest alt+tab program i found (faster than SPB). It's freeware, don't know where i found it. Displaytime can be configured in registry.
I mapped it to single click on the start button, works perfect! (long hold shows startmenu)
The absolute best task manager app I've found is from FDC Soft. Here is the link.

Task manager

I have bought my HTC HD2 and i cant activate the task manager on the main screen....any help ? idea ?
Yeah pin the Task Manager to the quick links.
HTC Task Manager is disabled on HD2 probably because it slows Sense down

Don't know how to pin it

HTC Task
Tried the latest I found (HTC Tachi TaskManager 2.1.37655.1.cab),
but it does not work for me...
Simply everything I try does not work
Have You tried to pin the standard windows task manager to, for example, the answer call hardware key? I've done that in my TD2. You should be able to do this via phone settings->buttons or something (haven't seen wm6.5 yet)
try installing Duttys Task Manager 2.1.19183631
well, about this, anyone knows any taskbar manager that can use in every program to change from one to other without going to the main screen and then change?
Like the taskbar manager but on all screens, main and programs.
I really hate that "feature" of need to go to the main to select other program.

I'll have to agree with you there. It sounds strange that the multi tasking isn't build more, well, multi tasking in mind.
I'm probably getting this device next week and would be really interested to know if there's any way to do this faster, like bringing the task manager up with one press of key etc (like I asked in another topic too).

Didnt work for me.
This works:
- Go the file explorer
- Open "My Device/Windows"
- Find Task manager (taskmgr) and press long on this file so the file menu opens and select copy.
- Go to "My Device/Windows/Startmenu/Programs.
- Go to menu and paste shortcut.
- Now you can also add the shortcut to your today screen.

Wow, that is brilliant indeed.
Had no idea that particular task manager was even there or existed.
Nice find.
Damn, that's a nice find, tried the one from dutty but also without any result.
Thanks a million : )
very annoing this find, can not activate my progs. used this trick this weekend.
Dutty's Taskmanager works for me in combination with the brian's taskbar.

Thanks for the tip, and I tried doing that both before and yet again, but it's a no go.
It still doesn't play nice with certain builds. You can sort of make out the task manager icon in the upper right hand corner, but you can't click on it.
The solution posted above by rob_van_triet though works perfectly for now.
Working but Icon ?
Ok placing a shortcut of taskmgr in the start menu folder works fine.
But if you use this as a tab on the start screen it looks all blury.
Some help please ?
Do you know where is the setting for the task manager so that I could change "tapping X in the upper right corner" to "close the app" and not to "minimize it".
It seems that the whole Touch Flo settings has disappeared.
edit: just read the other thread about the task manager and it answered my question.
