hi,
i just want to see if this is normal behavior...
first, i have my hero rooted with fresh 2.1.2.
so if i'm in the browser, with at least 2 windows active, and then i press the home key and go into another app. i press home again and go back into browser and my windows have closed and it starts the home screen. extremely frustrating.... am i missing a setting to "keep windows when leaving browser" or something?
it just seems like a bad error to have that be the default behavior. it's also strange that i couldn't find any other website or forum post that mentioned it.
any input is helpful
thanks....

Ok here is one for the books.
How come after I reset or power up my 8125 my email button kinda works.
Kinda being that the title bar says comcast or whatever mailbox it is at and I have the "New" and "Menu" soft buttons at the bottom of the screen and they work, BUT no middle of the screen no matter how long I leave it.
BUT if I go to programs and messaging it pops open just fine and then the button works fine ????
I have tried reassiging the button to make sure it knows where it is.
Any ideas and solutions.
I dont think it has anyyhing to do with the ROM its self as it happens with 1.8, Mr. Clean, 2.25.
All I am running as addins is
HanDBase 3.0
Resco Explorer and Reg Edit
eWallet.
PDA Sudoku
All Mobile Mines.
plus the standard Reg tweaks.
I get the very same problem. I am not running any of the applications that you are running, stainlesspc. I've tried turning off Wisbar as well as all of the today plugins, but it does the same thing.
This is an on-going issue with all Roms.. There are several discussions on this especially within the AKU 2.2 & AKU 2.3 Rom threads.
Makes no sense. Messaging always opens okay from the start menu or wotherwise but if the wind is blowing in right direction and a frog farts in the corner then messaging buggers from that button. Other apps work fine through.
Ditto here. When it happens, I can still open it from the start menu.
It seems to happen when the messaging app has been closed. When it's been recently started and I'm sure it's still open, the button usually works fine.
well it is iffy if I kill it in running programs, at best it is slow.
BUt no matter which button it is tied to it still wont start after a reset.
does anyone else have the problem of the OSK popping up all the time? I had Opera Mobil installed and when going to the imported PIE favorites it came up every time I scrolled through the list as each time a new favorite was selected the coursor bounced between the URL bar and the shortcut...
It was so annoying I had to stop using Opera as I found no way to stop it. It also does it in PIE but not near as much... it comes up automatically when I hit a text box ...same for SMS and email....
Any way to get this stopped?
nobody else having this problem?
I have now seen the issue on 3 Tilts... it is tied to the first time you use the on screen keyboard ... from that point forward everytime you hit a text box, it comes up. for SMS, email and MMS that is ok but when looking at bookmarks in Opera Mobile it is very annoying since it constantly pops up as one scrolls down through the list.
Anyone have an idea of where the OSK registry keys are?
solution found!
I contacted HTC via AT&T (ya I know I loose cool points for doing such a thing) but hey the support was excellent and they provided a workaround in about 10 minutes. It is not clear what is actually triggering this but the solution works as I verified it in SMS, Word and Opera Mobile.
Solution:
Go into Mobile Word, slide out the keyboard. this shoud make the OSK dissapear. hit the space bar one time and ok out of word. slide in the keyboard and test your applications for the OSK popping up every time you hit a text box....it no longer happens but the problem may return the next time you decide to actually use the OSK so repeat the process when necessary.
I have the same problem - I hate that every time a text box appears on anything, the OSK appears even when the keyboard is slid out. It's infuriating in Opera.
Your trick doesn't seem to work for me. When I run Word, the OSK doesn't seem to appear ever, even when the keyboard is closed.
I wish there were a reghack or something to ONLY show OSK when I hit the icon on the bottom.
I have similar problem in Opera Mobile. I'm using WM 6.1 and the similar problem was found with WM5 and 6 as well, so I think it is something to do with version of Opera Mobile. Mine is 9.0 build 331.
for what it's worth, ive had the same problem with WM 6.0 and 6.1 when using MyMobiler to display my phone on my computer screen (i switch between skyfire and PIE as my browser. never used opera mobile). if im going to be using the phone in 'tilt' mode for any amount of time (ie, like when it is plugged into my computer), i had to install null keyboard and use it as my primary OSK. not the best solution, but it will keep the OSK from popping up all the time.
I updraded to Opera Mobile 9.5 and it is okay now
Just like I feared.
so i downloaded the CAB file and installed. but it doesnt appear. i still have the bland home screen. i did a soft reset and nothing. any help?
in my mind i followed the instructions from this link http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html to a "t".
it cant be this simple...
I dont suppose you went to Settings > Personal > Today > Items(tab) and adjusted your settings.

Connect device to PC. Use Active Sync to move the (unopened/unextracted) CAB file to your device (storage card or if not main memory).
Then on the device use file explorer to find the CAB and tap on it to install it. Choose install to main memory for this CAB.
AND follow above posters advice to ensure the plugin is set to show on the Today Screen.

not that simple

already done that.
ditched the original link and downloaded schen's version on these very forums. so far so good!
look for schen's HTC Home at pocketemu.com. Then download HTC Home Customizer from the same Link and use it to customize your HTC Home.

2 ways
HHC can do it for you under one of its tabs
or
Go to the weather tab on HTC Home, tap on your city name and change it from the Menu option corrosponding to the right soft key.
Play around with it first and see if you can figure things out.
I downloaded the home plug and schen's cab, but the today screen only appears as the HTC home plug should appear. I tried reinstalling the cab file, but nothing changed. I can't find it under settings.
:EDIT:
I'm not even gonna bother deleting my previous post here. That was dumb of me. I thought I was to look around in the settings... Then I checked programs. You may now bash.
Screen not responding to the stylus?
I can not for the life of me get my stylus to work on my tilt. this is my first touch device but im sure its not hard. i can tap the screen and im fine but when i go to use the stylus it wont respond. could i have disabled something by accident?
Have a screen protector??? May need to adjust the sensitivity. Don't have the exact key, but I know it's in several posts. try filtering your search with the term pressure threshold.
No, it happened to me today too
Tilt w/Duttys latest.
I was reading email, when suddenly the touch screen stopped working. I could use the DPad, but no response to touch. Opened and closed the keyboard, still no response. Soft booted and it went back to normal.
I have had it happen 2 or 3 times on my tilt with dutty previous release. Rebooted and it went back to normal.
The problem is usually related to FTouchFlo, a simple soft reset cures the issue. If you don't have FTouchFlo installed, I'm not sure what could be causing it
I can also say that the issue is coming from touchflo. happened to me twice before so i've just disabled touchflo and hasn't happened since.
Me too!!!

Check out this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337979
I did everything in it, but sometimes my screen stops and freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes it gets so bad that it freezes like every 20 or 30 seconds when I am typing something using the stylus. I don't think I have touchflow because I never installed it. I just have the stock HTC rom.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

What we browser are you using?
I have an att tilt so i have internet explorer mobile and im not really feelin it to much. what browser are you guys using?
many people like the latests beta opera mobile
Tried searching for this but I can't figure out what to search for to get the results I want. Is there a way to alter your settings so that clicking the X in the upper right corner of a program closes it instead of minimizing it? Going through the Task Manager every time is a huge pain. I think there may be an option under the X menu on the home screen, but the ROM I'm using removed that X, so...help? I'm positive this has been asked before but I can't seem to find it anywhere (especially since "x" gets filtered out of searches).
Take a look at the HTC Task Manager, it has that option
Tap and hold down should close the app. I find this sometimes isn't reliable though - especially with WM Mediaplayer and on some occasions it only minimises the app. On other situations holding down the 'x' wont do anything and it has to be released in order to minimise the app. This is with the stock HTC WM 6.1 ROM listed in my sig.
Yep, that worked I think the ROM I downloaded didn't have HTC TM, so installing that let me do exactly what I wanted.
Use wktask, best "x" program
I prefer Quickmenu to wktask. It is one of my favourite apps and it gives you a Windows desktop type cascading menu, allows you to switch bluetooth etc etc etc lots of features and it's free.
Opera auto rotate really annoys me so i disabled it by following instructions
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439136
how ever i sometimes want the screen to rotate and so made a very simple application using basic4ppc to be able to rotate the screen (and adding it to my start menu to simply click to rotate), this worked good so i thought i would make it work when holding button1 (which is normally comms manager but really never use it) - everything worked fine.
i have since reset phone and reinstalled everything back the same way, however now when i hold button1 opera appears to close (or at least go behind tf3d)
any ideas?

when u say button 1 do you mean the home button? if so then obviously it will take you to the tf3d lol
sorry, no button1 is the answer call button.
holding it down rotates my screen when using file explorer etc but in opera it no longer works. it used to work b4 i reset phone and reinstalled everything.
