Theres a strange issue in Windows Phone 7
Basically open up IE, load something like google then another site. Press Windows Key, then open another app.
Close that and then load up IE again. Now how the heck are you ment to navigate back a page?
As the back button will now take you back a step in apps and not pages.
Press the Tabs icon... should have a small 2 on it now (two open IE windows).
Theres no extra tabs as I don't open links in new tabs.

A free simple utility for automatically closing applications when you return to the home screen. More details here: AppCloser v0.1
tried it, it doesn't work for me for some reason.
i put it in the program files folder, made a new folder called AppCloser and then dragged the program there and put it, hit home - then opened an application and then hit home. then for testing purposes, i checked the task manager, the program was still running.
is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is your phone completely application unlocked?
To install it (just to recap):
create the folder \program files\appcloser and copy the .exe and the apps.txt into it (like you did )
check out apps.txt, add or remove exes as required
start appcloser.exe, and press home to return to the home screen (not ok, as this closes the program)
appcloser should now be running and will close the programs in the list that are running when you return to the home screen.
It could be that there are bugs but I dunno.
i've just tested this on my Excalibur and it worked great for exe files that are in the \Windows folder.
i tried adding appcloser.exe to the list so that after closing the other programs it would close itself...it didn't. i also added Explorer.exe which resides in my Storage card and it wasn't able to close it
Suggestions:
a separate white/blacklist would be great
add a kill all option except the whitelist
Thanks for this application.
uccellino thanks again
What I've actually done was I made the app folder as per the readme, then I've placed a shortcut into \windows\startup, which is actually pretty useful, it still asks you to press the 'ok' or 'home' key at start up, but at least this way you don't have to browse to the app's folder everytime you want to run it.
Thanks for your feedback dark0 and oldsap I'll try and see if I can make it a bit more professional when I next play with it
I thought it would be good if I press red (disconnect) button then the program or folder is closed but if I press home button then the program is minimized to run on background.
I could choose to automatically close it or let it run. Normally both buttons let programs run in background while returning to home screen which is kind of confusing to understand why it operates like that.
First, im a complete noob. i just stumbled upon this site today and already done to my phone in 3 hours than i even ever done to a phone period and i want to thank you guys.
Secondly, here is my issue. i have the GPS garmin Mobile 5.0 software for my ATT Fuze. the files for the GPS software are all on my storage card as a " all package up file " without need to install or run a cab file. so the only way i currently lauch the GPS tool in by browsing to my SD card to my garmin folder and then launching the garmin.exe. that is too tedious. i want to be able to go to my programs and see my garmin there, but even better, i want to be able to remap my PPT button to launch my GPS but i cant remapp the GPS since its not a part of my installed APPs. so my question is how do i get my GPS to appears an installed app so i can remapp it to a button on the phone?
you can use resco explorer and select the .exe file and then menu->file->send to->Start menu as Shortcut
thank you so much man. is there another app i can use thats free? the resco app is not, i did use it but its a trial software. i wanted something to keep thats free. any ideas anyone? also, i have decided to keep the Official ATT Raphael US_5.11.502.2 Rom. but I LOVE the clock in the EnergyRom 2/3. Is ther anyway i can get it and add it into my ATT official rom?
use file explorer that comes with wm. find the program tap and hold to get the context menu and hit copy, then go to windows > start menu and hit the right soft key to get a menu and go to edit > paste shortcut. rename it to garmin mobile xt if its not already named right.
Thanks Jack. But im afraid I lost you where you say " then go to windows > start menu and hit the right soft key to get a menu and go to edit > paste shortcut." what right soft key are u refering to?
the one that says menu in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Or...
While still in explorer (after copying the exe for Garmin), navigate to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder. Scroll to the bottom, tap and hold. The context menu that pops up will include "Paset Shortcut". Select that.
You will have an item that says "Shortcut to " and whatever the executable file's name is. You can then tap and hold on the shortcut and select "Rename" and rename it to "Garmin" or somesuch.
thats what i said... just figured it would be a little simpler to hit the softkey than find a spot they would have to find for the context menu.
In Win Mo 6.1, listing a program in the Window's native drop-down Start menu (the one that appears when you press the Windows flag in the upper left-hand corner) removes the shortcut icon from the Program folder.
It looks like it was designed this way by Microsoft - the "Menus" screen direction says "Checked items appear in the Start menu. Others appear in Programs."
This in and of itself is not a huge problem, since all you need is one place to launch the program from, not two.
But, it creates an issue with Spb Mobile Shell.
When I add a program in the Spb MS launcher and then later lists it in the Windows' drop-down Start menu (thus removing it from the Program folder), then the link in the Spb MS launcher gets broken.
Is there any way around this? i.e., Can you stop Win Mo from moving shortcuts out of the Program folder?
you canget around this, by creating a shortcut... so copy the app you want listed, goto the loaction you want it in and create shortcut. Unless i am misunderstanding you
From starting up
As windows have able to set manual or automatic
I can open more then 4 tabs in browser but then memery clear the old one and need to load back therea opion to fix it
I'm not really sure what you are asking. Not trying to be a troll or offend you, but could you re-ask your question using some punctuation and full sentences.
ok
i have 2 questions
first i wanna know if there a app that can change the setting of service to manual so the service wont start automatically when booting HC
as windows users use services.msc to ctrl the starting up config
the second question is about browser
i cant open more then 4 active tabs
i mean if i open more then 4 tabs the first tab that was open wont be in the memory anymore its will cleared and it will have to refresh it and loading from internet
is there reg to make it more ?
Search the market for "startup manager" or "autostart" you'll find several programs for controlling what stays up automatically.
I can open many tabs in the stock browser; are you sure the tabs aren't just hidden (swipe on the tab bar to see more tabs)
you can open as many tabs as you want, but i think his question was if you open more than 4, only 4 stays in memory, and the other ones are "kicked out" of memory (not close the tab, but empty out it's contents), and when you visit the tab again, it needs to reload the page it's set to.
I've noticed there is a max number of tabs. When i reach this limit, i can no longer "open in new backgroud tab". Its something like 25 tabs but not sure exactly. However even with that many open, they all stay in memory for me...
I have noticed with the new version of Polaris Office this tablet comes with you can no longer follow internet links from word documents. Used to be in the older versions (version 3 maybe?) if there was a embedded link or straight internet address you just tap on it and it would take you right to the internet site. Now it just pops up a "Paste" or "More" bubble option when you tap on the links - the "More" button just gives you 3 options - format copy, format paste or TTS.
Am I missing something on how to follow an internet link from this version of PO? Nothing shows up o adjust this in the settings.
Thanks
