Hello,
I just noticed a strange behavior that I have on my Hima with WM6 TOFCLOCK that I hadn't on my WM5 ROM but I had on my original PPC2003.
When I open an application, and then close it, if I open my Task Manager, I can see that the application is still running
All applications are having this behavior so when I opened a lot of applications, the memory is full and the device lags.
Is there a way to automatically close properly applications or should I open my Task Manager each time I close an application?
Thx for your help!
HTC X-Button
Just search the forums for this program
HTC X-button.
It closes the application instead of just minimizing it
Cheers
HTC_X-Button
There it is
Yeah, I couldn't remember the name of this app, thanks!
I've been looking for it but without the name it's a little more difficult
Or pBar
A very small and very effective way is to use VJOkButton. it is an exe file and can be mapped to any hardware button.
I have mapped it to my record button. It closes the application straightaway. So no task manager needed.
you can use it in combination with HTC X-button or pBar as well.
I'd be grateful if anyone could offer any help with this issue.
I have an O2 branded version of the Kaiser. I have installed various of the cabs for HTC software available on this forum - which is excellent, by the way - and was very glad to find an "X" button solution.
Unfortunately, the device then started to crash whenever I closed a program for the first time and had to soft reset. I got a message saying that there was a problem with the shell.
As it stopped when I uninstalled HTC X Button, I am 99% certain that it was source of my problem. O2 stick a program manager in the system bar. It does not add X button functionality, but it does allow manual closure of a program. It does not appear ion any program list, and cannot be removed or closed itself, so I assume that it is part of the rom (not that I am an expert!)
Can anyone confirm this problem, and/or suggest a (preferably freely available) X button program that does not cause any issues? Alternatively, can the (fairly useless) O2 program be removed or closed without replacing the rom?
you are probably correct that the 2 apps are causing the issue. Have you looked in the \windows\startup folder for the O2 app? Also, there is a registry entry called INIT that does startup of services for the device. I can't remember right now where it's located in the registry. Let me know if you find anything in the startup folder and if not, I'll look up the key for you.
There is a file called O2 Custom in the Startup folder which has the same icon as the manager program I want rid of, but it is only 21b in size, so I assume that it is a shortcut.
Thanks for the suggestion. I would be grateful for some guidance on thew registry, since I am too inexperienced with this stuff to go poking around without very specific instructions!

that startup is probably it. you can try to cut&paste the shortcut to your 'my documents' folder, then reboot, then see if that o2 app is started after reboot. if not, then you found the solution.
I wonder if we are able to do a "corporate" install after hard reset like I used to be able to do with my Universal so it doesn't load all the 02 rubbish
Works like a charm, thanks smittyofdhs. The o2 program manager is gone, and HTC XButton 1.51 has not caused any soft resets so far.
You know, I feel really stupid not realising that removing the shortcut from startup would have done the job. I would have done the equivalent on my desktop or laptop without even thinking about it.
HTC has a new version of their Task Manager (V2.0) that can be found pretty easily by searching this website. The only problem I have with HTC's Task Manager(s) is that while the "X" functionality works in every application, the Task Manager feature seems to work only on the Today screen. Therefore, I have found WkTask to be a very good free task manager which also combines a program launcher.
Here's the short version:
I'm getting a repeating error notification (can't locate an uninstalled .exe). I think I've tracked down the problem to a stray "notification" still associated to an .mp3 file used by the removed app. In Task Manager v2.7 > Notification manager, I see the following notification:
"\Storage Card\My Documents\My Sounds\Buoy_bell3s.mp3"
which is the sound the old app used. Expanded with the application radio button selected, the "Argument" is AppRunAtTime, and "Type" is CNT_TIME.
Seems like I should be able to fix the problem in this interface, e.g. delete the notification(s). But I don't really understand what I'm looking at (not quite sure what the "notification manager" really does) and really don't want to initiate some downward spiral.
Help, please?
Kaiser/HTC-8900/Tilt, WM6 flashed to Dutty's Touch CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.dutty's).
The longer version, if needed
I (unwisely) installed EnAlarm, which was buggy as hell. The notification began after I uninstalled it. I scoured my device for remnants, but found none. I searched XDA, found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326378
...reinstalled EnAlarm, and uninstalled manually (although my previous settings were wiped, so I had no alarms to delete). That didn't work.
I also found a reference to EnAlarm as "Mobialarm" with a link, so I installed that, uninstalled it, waded through the registry for stray keys (deleted one), and the Windows, Start Menu, and Startup folders for stray files (none). I also search the device and storage card for "alarm" and made sure every hit was unrelated.
Finally, I soft reset after every uninstall and tried powering down via the side button. Oh, and I uninstalled some recent software add-ons, including everything Resco, Orbworks, and SPBTime. Then I powered down, removed the battery, waited, powered back up, and got the notification again.

ps- sorry for the lengthy post. Wanted to be thorough.
Quick update
The process spawning the multiple notification windows is \windows\services.exe 60...a quick glance through the services manager leads me to believe "services.exe" is some kind of bundle (like svchost)...

Fixed...I think
Found a stray .app that was reinstalling files. Killed that, plus some reg keys I was unaware existed under \\\registry. Powered off/on, and so far no more notifications.
Nice having this conversation with myself.

Hello,
How can I see on my htc diamond which programs are running, on my previous phone there was in settings > memory a tab with running programs
and it was possible to close those (like task manager)
Use HTC task manager as described in the MANUAL!
As michi123 says :
Settings or parameters/System/Task manager.
You can have it on Home of touchflow3D.
Icon on the top right.

what program exactly, because I believe that some of them have this problem
programs
MAME CE3 and Concrete software bowling, i have uninstalled them no problem but it wont remove the from the add remove list and i dont know how to, thanks.
In similar cases, I use SKTools, an excellent program.
Here is the link http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
I want to know why certain programs don't uninstall 100% even when it was installed and uninstalled correctly meaning the name still shows in the list as installed and there's no file traces left.
I have installed the SK Tools, but I cant seem to find how to do it, any instruction or fixes pls, thanks
In the registry, HKLM\Software\Apps if I remember well.
nope, apps still showing in "remove programs list" even though they were uninstalled like anything else

Before starting, I would recommend a backup, just in case.
On the main SKT opening screen, go to
- left soft key "Category"
- select "Maintenance"
- select "Installed Programs"
- after a short search, SKT displays the list of all your installed apps
- when you point your stylus on the app you want to completely delete, you will see all its installed components in the lower half of the screen (a good thing at this point is to make a screen capture so in the worst case you can manually delete the remains, but normally it shouldn't be necessary, SKT usually doing a better removal job than the default remover)
- make sure that all boxes are unchecked, except the one you want to delete, and then go to left soft key "Action" and select "Uninstall marked".
I always just go into File Explorer/Windows/Start Menu/Programs
Then remove broken links from there.
He means removing the entries from the add/remove programs panel, not the start menu.
Tried this and no go any other ideas guys, the sk tools might be ok if i had programs installed, i might install them again and then uninstall via sktools see how that goes. any other ides.
sktools can remove it, but it is always on uninstall list!!

I have found the solution to the various posts listed on not being able to get rid of an uninstalled prog in the remove progs window. Using MemMaid 2.3 go jump to/databases/database usage, highlight SwMgmtMetadataStore and click browse, highlight offending entry and delete it. Then do and soft reset and you will find that the prog is no longer in the remove prog window. Hope this helps.
