Oh knowledgable HTC folk,
I'm sure I've seen something on this but multiple searches have found nothing ...
I've uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus 4 (I have a registered 3 but was trying 4) and I've lost the HTC close/menu button on the top right of the home screen. Now, the close button only minimises apps rather than closes them fully.
How do I get this button / feature back ... please ...
And an early "Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year" to all,
Gary.
Unfortunately I had it as well and had to do a Hard Reset

cr*p, I've really tried to avoid this since getting my device about a month ago... Would I be able to backup/restore everything to current state or would it result in the same thing (I presume the worst but just asking)?
Oh, well: I guess it will give me an excuse to load one of the great new ROM's out there. I was hoping to wait for an update with the video drivers first though...
All you have to do is go to the Pocket Plus options screen & uncheck the close button option.

Do you mean I should reinstall PP and then go to the options screen ... ?
Gary.
First go into settings > system > task manager (if it's there) and try to turn on the close button feature. If it's not there, then follow below:
Reinstall of PP4 may or may not work now that you've uninstalled PP4, but it's worth a try.
Also, if you want the HTC task manager back, you can get it here in cab form and it will work fine once installed.

You're a GENIUS - I've just reinstalled the Task cab from the collection here and it seems to be back to normal
Big thanks,
Gary.

glad to hear it...
Which task manager cab?
Which task manager cab did you install; there are two but no note about the difference between them. Thanks.
Here's the lastest version that I've been able to find and it works good....

Actually, it was late and the only one I saw when looking quickly through was wktask1_1170 (in the cab collection). I guess this is the OEM version(?).
Is there any advantage for me uninstalling this and installing the latest version (presumably a local customised version)?
Regards,
Gary.

that's not the HTC tassk manager, that is a totally different task manager.

Interesting ....
It did exactly what I expected and what was on the phone in the first place (tiny drop down menu top right corner of today screen, properly closes programs, etc.)
Having said that, I've just checked my "Remove Programs" list and indeed, it says "waku WkTASK"; doesn't sound very OEM to me. Does work correctly though.
Is there any advantage to the other Task Managers that have been mentioned?
Regards,
Gary.

no, actually wktask has more functionality, maybe too much. Are you using a custom ROM? I ask because wktask doesn't come standard in the OEM ROMs.
The HTC version is just a task manager. You can find a screenshot here:

No, I'm just using the standard ROM that came with the phone. For the task manager, I just went to the directory here and picked the first file that I saw with "Task" in the title ....
I confirm again: it does work though
I am thinking about a custom ROM but am 1> fairly confused about the range out there and b> am waiting for a critical benefit such as the new video drivers.
Regards,
Gary.
well no rom is going to have video drivers, at least for now. that would have to come from HTC.
as for which rom to choose, Dutty's are some of the best. Which ever one you choose, make sure to research these forums to get other people's opinions first.
Is there anyway to create a shortcut for the Task Manager for my Tilt? Thanks!
Which task manager are you using and where do you exactly want to create the short-cut?

Oops. I wasn't aware there are more than one Task Manager on my phone. Not sure which one. I have WM 6.1 installed if that helps. I'd like to move it to my PTT button or anywhere I could.
Thanks
You just have to find the lnk for it and map it via start>settings>buttons.
Well, do you know where I might find the link? Not sure what you mean by finding the link. I mean, I know where to find it by going into my phone's menus. There's no option for it when I go to start>settings>buttons.
Hi, I'm not sure if that is what it's called, but the button in the upper right of the screen that lets you look at all of your current running programs and lets you close some or all is now gone.
I was trying to get SPB Pocket Plus to work and it was having some strange behavior (one is losing the X-Button). I have removed the software, but I still have no X-Button. If anyone can help me to restore this, it would be much appreciated. I haven't been able to find anything through search regarding this.
Thank you!
look for htc task manager and try to reinstall it.
settings, system, task manager, button tab, enable quick menu on today screen
That was it sjm...thank you very much. I wonder what disabled that?
Hey.
After uninstalling Task Switcher - I believe -
I have two items stuck,
One on Programs - Setup one,
One in Settings - Task Switcher.
It's not a great program...
Attached screens.
How to remove these??
This crap annoys me. Device was rebooted,
as well as Program Files removed too....
browse to windows>start menu>programs, i think thats it(my phone is off now) and delete the file using resco
not sure about the one in settings

Maybe running a cleaner would help? Like the one in the SKTools.

reinstall the program with the task switcher settings icon, then install the full version of sktools and choose "uninstall" [as opposed to standard uninstall].

So no other way?
I don't use SKTools.
I'd like to program one of the hardware keys to run the task manager. Is there any way to do this?
