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?
On my old Hermes, with VJay's lock app, when i put the device to sleep (short press the pwr button or left to time out to sleep), when i woke the device all the apps would be minimised. When i first had this it annoyed me! but now on my Kieser i miss it!
I have a task manager so i can easily open the "old" running tasks if required, but like the today screen when i wake my phone.
I now use S2U2 as a lock.
Is there a way to minimise all apps on sleep or wake in either WM6 or S2U2, or a seperate app which will help me?
Thanks for the info

that flips the screen, which I pretty much never use
I didn't even know there is a task switcher that comes with Myn's build. I use Taskpanel, I don't think there is a short cut key for switching task.
i didnt know either - i use advanced task manager to close programs then just relaunch from home
task switcher would be nice
its built into android
get your hands on any android phone and long hold the home button
a little task switcher comes up
i guess with the new keymapping it disables it
i wonder if myn could incorporate this into his next build
or i think it'd have to be dzo in the next NBH file or something
yeah, there is a built in task switcher, but you need a hardware key to activate it. as previously stated, we used to have a hardware key mapped to it, but no longer. i used to use a combination of NotifTS and Task Switcher (by Tools), which worked pretty well (notifTS gave a notification bar shorcut for Task Switcher, which is a pretty slick customizable task list). Anyone have any other good suggestions?

free advanced task manager on market. It does it all.
I'm a memory nazi - it would be nice to be able to access the built in one lol. I do have the pay version of advanced task manager cuz I'm such a high roller lol
it's a great task killer/manager. but a great task switcher, IMO, is one that takes the fewest clicks to switch between apps, can be accessed while in another app, and is fast - you can't be waiting two, three seconds waiting for the app list to pop up. two actions to change to another app is ideal (one to activate switcher, one to select app), but without a hardware key mapped, this is hard to do.
EDIT: my synopsis: taskpanel, ATK, and notifTS + task switcher are equivalent on number of clicks. notifTS + TS takes a second longer to load, I think because the program isn't actively running (taskpanel, ATK take longer than notifts+TS the first time you click them, then they are super fast, I think they are keeping a process going in the background). on mssmison's rom which actively shuts down apps, the only one that really shows me anything to switch to is notifts+ts, because it can be set to show running and recent apps. so, pick your poison .. .
aside, if you want a task killer, taskpanel and taskiller give you autokill options, and taskiller gives a kill after boot option, taskiller is my pick. taskiller, however, does not allow you to switch to a task with one click (you have to long click) so it loses as a task switcher for that reason alone.
Try TaskOS beta for a one app task switcher like notifTS + TS, has worse lag though, but very customizable (icon size, etc).

I wonder does anyone actually use landscape mode? but if we had to hold and wait for the task switcher to popup it would probably be annoying anyways..

to tell you the truth
i HIGHLY doubt it
apps that need landscape automatically switch by themselves

But can you assign it with a button? So that I can jump out of full screen apps like gps.

i use it when using navigation and at times while web browsing. if we got rid of the button we'd have to get an icon to click to switch.

To close my recent apps I have a widget of"android assistant" which closes all the apps at one touch.
And to view the open apps through the default task manager in CM9 I have to press and hold the home button for a few seconds. I was wondering is there any way to access this task manager through a one tap on the scren .considering the times I have to press the home button.. it might get spoilt or loose over time.
Have you guys got any tips to do this?? I also tried "simple text " app but there is no action as to access the task manager.
I did take a look at "tasker" and it had a way to kill all apps or selective apps. I think that could be helpful in a way ..

Don't know of anyway to do that, it's very possible though to make such a shortcut in my opinion.
However the button is of high quality and you don't have to worry about it.
Or you could always flash the on screen keys mod and use that instead.
Cheers.

I think that the on screen keys are a bit waste of space. I have used some iphones in my past, and the main button often got loose (shakey)

Install Nova Launcher from market and Configure the home button in Settings.
Now Just press home button one time and its done
Or apex launcher, you can reconfigure the home button for a 1 press & the task mngr should show in now time, or put an action icon on home screen.

I would prefer using the action shortcut.Will i be able to do that with Apex launcher.
Thanks for the launcher ideas, if i can't get a shortcut made, ill reconfigure the home button to open the task manager on one tap, but then won't it conflict with the actual 1tap idea of the home button? :S to get to the homescreen?

Question, do you have a button remap
app installed on your device.
Eg, bxActions app.?
If so could your little one by accident have pressed "combo buttons "eg double press or long press, to enable "Full screen"
Otherwise there's plenty of apps in Play store that can enable/disabled full screen (no statusbar) etc.
Use one of the apps eg bxActions or Shortcutter app etc.
Good luck.
