Is this yet another bug for the Vario III?
Basically, when I press the x-button, it comes up with the sub-menu "stop all" and "options" but no programs under it....like it used to.
What's gone wrong?
Thanks for the help
my vario 3 works in the same way, only when programs are running in the background do they show under the pop-up menu.
do you have programs running lol?
make sure under options > button (from the x button menu) that you have click and hold x to exit selected.
yes on both accounts lol.
The "stop all" button is highlighted, but no programs show underneath.
Now here is where it gets abit weird, if I press on the screen where the "x" would be...it shows that particular program then it closes as it should....
any ideas? because I'm a bit lost :s
sounds like some sort of graphics glitch, I did find with my new unit that I had to do a two hard resets on the new unit to get rid of a few anoying bugs, drastic action if you have lots of things already set up though .
I have just checked mine again, and I have the close all option as the top option, and the options setting as the second menu option, is yours the same?, and if I run a program and just close it with a quick press of its own X button, then go into the options setting it shows whats running, is yours the same?

Got a question about Wisbar Advance 3 on the AT&T Tilt.
I've noticed there is something odd in the performance of the cascading Start menu function.
When I click on the start button icon on the screen, the cascading start menu works great.
When I press on the silver start menu "hard button" on the device, the traditional start menu comes up, like when Wisbar isn't running.
When I slide the phone open, and click the start menu "hard button" on the keyboard, the Wisbar cascading start menu works, just like if I had clicked on the start button on the screen.
1. Has anyone else encountered this?
2. Is there a way to get the silver start menu "hard button" to function just like the start menu "hard button" on the slide out keyboard?
Thanks in advance
i believe there is a setting in Wisebar adv to change this so when you click the windows button it will open the cascading menus. If no one confirms this, Ill load it on my phone tonight and double check

I found that setting, and mine is clicked.
I think the Windows button on the slide out keyboard is mapped differently than the Windows button on the front of the phone.
You are correct. I found this rather annoying, until I downloaded AEButton plus and remapped the key. Handy for lots of things but use with caution!
Just go to Start->Settings->Buttons and remap your Start button to the Cascading Start.
I tried that. When I do that, the button brings up the cascading start menu, then closes immediately. sometimes it does it so fast, you can't see the menu even pop open.
Hi,
Anyone found a way to move the new windows taskmanger over a few icons towards the middle? It's always hidden under the X and thus useless to change programs. In fact it might be useful to order/move all the icons in the top task bar??
I've always used Magic Button but it doesn't seem to work that well with WM6.1, Ariel or WiseBar might be an option? Otherwise thinking of remapping one of the very scarce buttons??
Thanks.
Somehow I managed to remove the icon completely. Anyone who knows how to get it back?
settings -> taskmanager , choose button tab.
Hi,
Yep, that was how I setup TaskManager.
x Enable "X" button to end running programs
x End programs by tapping "X"
o End programs by tapping and holding "X"
x Enable Quick Menu on Today screen
x = checked
... however the TaskManager quick menu in under the "X" button. i.e. you have to close every program to get to the manager to change to the program you want ... but now it's closed??
I could use tap & hold to end, then minimise every program to change, but I was thinking like magic button - if I could just move the |||> icon over one space to the left I could tap TaskManger and then go to the program I want. Maybe I'm just being really really dumb?
Missing TaskManger dis this fix the problem?
I think my kids may have tweaked some button settings because now the only button that seems to work is the Home button. Volumn, Back, Open Phone, Close Phone don't seem to be working at all. I went into Settings > Buttons and I have five Button entries and one Button 1 entry.
There were like 4 set on <Context Menu>.
Does anyone know how to get my button settings back? I also noticed in the Phone app that when I press a few numbers to start a call and press the back icon to erase one of the numbers just entered it doesn't erase like it used to. So either my kids got crazy with some setting or my phone may need to be reset.
What do you think?
Thanks!
I'm looking for a task manager that I can launch with a hard button with the help of AEButton,
in which I can scroll though my open programs using the scroller not the touch screen and close each in turn or close all.
I've tried a lot and they all either;
- They dont have the facility to use the buttons as a scroller, touch only.
- They cant be launched to open using a hardware button, as in the program launches but all I get is the little cross, dot button appear in the top right of my today screen, not actually open the task manager.
- Or they dont have the facility to close all apps.
there must be a simple little program that does this, and im starting to feel like i've tried them all...
I can distantly remember using a version on RomEOS 1.2.1 but cant find any reference to it, it allowied me to 'check' each program and close them, and launched as an actual program, rather than enabling a cross on my today screen. And it wasn;t HTC Taskmanager.
Any suggestions you lovely people? I think one handed PPC use is they way to go and this is frustraiting me.
Install SPB Pocket Plus
Soft reset
Go to Settings-Buttons
Assign "Alt-Tab" on any button you want.
Press button, see all open prg's and scroll with the wheel to the one you want, press wheel and you are there.
Hi,
ever tried WkTask (freeware) ?
Quickmenu does the trick for me. Much better than WKTask. Also freeware. X button closes the app, gives a PC feel to menus and you don't ever have to use stylus.
Thanks for the replies
tried both WKTask and Quickmenu, but evenually settles on HandySwitcher, turned out to be a bonus that you can customise the colours, since i have a white background and couldn't read the white text on the menu.
Success!
Why wouldn't you use the task switching part of phoneAlarm?
You can set the default function to the switcher and be managing open tesks with 2 button pushes.
I second Quickmenu. Once you click the exe once it'll auto start after soft resets. Goto the settings and customize the startmenu the way you want. I set mine up to have Running programs first and that set to be shown as submenu and then it allows you the close one or close all feature, quickmenu popout second, then a break and then program, settings, and office folders all set to submenus and then my regular programs as links below. I can control it all with my finger or with the jog dial. Retains your windows TSK theme and if you set it to replace windows start menu it is like the other never existed. Excellent program and very lightweight. To fix the text issue I use UI Tweaker. Also helps me match the color to my TSK better. Just my personal preference.
Hello,
Yesterday I installed few games and some applications so I don’t know which of them may cause the problem. List of application I currently have is:
The problem is that after tap or pres on Start menu 3 times, start menu expand like there is 50 apps. on the list. Basically first 7 of them are the same, but after the line another 50 is audio manager and notes repeating 25 times on list. Background of start menu becomes white so names of applications are not readable until I scroll over, when color is back, and white letters are visible again.
It happens all the time, I tried to set all themes, buttons etc. to default but problem occurs.
Any help?

Did you add anything with + in the Title, like Slither's C++ Cube?
If so, just rename the item in the \Windows\Start Menu folder and the clear your recent programs list.
