I always have Today screen after turn-on PDA

Hello,
I have a problem with my Hermes. Always, after I turn on my PDA, it go direct to "Today" screen. That means that if I have one program open, I turn off PDA, and then turn on again, instead of have this program open, I get "Today", and I need to use a "task manager" or similar for change to the original program .
Anybody can help me?
Thanks!
Sesaru
UPDATE: From samw52000:
This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.​
Is there any way to fix it without removing the password? I need the password!

Sesaru,
Can you explain a bit more what you mean? When you switch on the Hermes it does go to the today screen after the boot screens as its default behaviour. Not sure what you believe the problem is.

You need the software X-Button
It adds a little icon on top-left corner of your screen.
When you click on it, it shows all the programs that are running, you can click on whichever one you want to bring it back up to your front screen.
It is similar to ALT-TAB on a PC.

I had nothing but poor performance out of X-button.
handy switcher is a better app and much cleaner way of doing it.

Hello;
I'll try again (I made the post at 3AM).
The problem is: I'm using the PDA in anyway (File Explorer, Office, etc); imagine that I'm using Pocket Word. Then, I wait sometime without touching any button or I push on/off button --> the PDA turn off (normal )
After that, I press on/off button (and then, the PDA turn on). The normal behaviour (I think) is to have open in my screen the last application I was using (Pocket Word), so then I can continue working directly... but the PDA always change to "Today" screen. So I have to use X-Button (or similar) to switch to the app I was using. And that is quite annoying ...
I hope I could explain better myself.
Thanks!

Go to SETTINGS, then TODAY. Click on the ITEMS tab at the bottom.
Is "Today timeout:" checked? What does it have in the drop down box?

This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.
If not then you're SOL (just like me).

Ummm, careful Kc SN ... I see you haven't posted much, but you should get into the habit of reading the entire thread before you start to type. Otherwise, the foot can easily wind up in the mouth, as is evidenced here.

stylus remove and notes open

Hi All -
I have a couple of questions using HTC TP 2, tmobile, and winmo 6.5
When I am in a call and I remove the stylus it auto opens the notes. I don't want to open the notes. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that?
I have read and read through many of the threads here and am still not sure what works and does not work. Does anyone know of a 1% battery status for my phone and setup above?
If I make a call and I forgot and left the ear bluetooth in another room, I can not talk on the phone unless I run to find the darn bluetooth. Anyone know how to immediately switch to Phone so that the call I just made will allow me to talk through the cell phone without running for the bluetooth?
Great community over here, thanks.
Gordon

Inside Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Advanced, uncheck "Open Notes when stylus pulled out during a call" option.

You guys are too much I looked all over for that darn setting. Thank You.
Do you know either of these?

1% battery indicator
There is a thread stickied at the top of the first page that has a ton of info on the 1% battery issue.

There are also many different task bars that you can load that have different icon sets.
This one looks very nice.

Is there anyway to set a program (e.g., MyNote, OneNote Mobile) to open whenever you pull out the stylus, not just during a call?

Windows Media Player when sleep?

On my TP2, I'm listening to music through the speaker, and everytime I put the phone to sleep it pauses it.
Any Ideas?
But if I let the phone sit there and go on standby itself it's perfectly fine.

When you're in the "Contacts" screen, hit the menu button (bottom right), then choose "View", then "Contacts", that will suppress the SIM contacts and only show you what you've added/copied to your phone's contact database.

I've done that, but when I exit my contacts and re-enter it, it happens again..
Thanks.

And you're using the HTC contacts list in TouchFlo? Because whenever I choose one of those views (All/Contacts/SIM), the choice is always retained whenever I exit and return to the contacts. What carrier version of the phone do you have, and what ROM? (stock? cooked?)

It's a Cooked one, but nevermind that.
My main problem is the windows media player

Understood, I just hadn't yet had the chance to go digging for that solution, I knew it was around here somewhere.
Use the cab I've attached below, that should keep your music playing even after you hit the power button to turn the screen off:

[Q] Can I make autostart for music when Car-Panel is on?

Hi,
I have a Bluetooth device on my car and I enjoy playing my music on my mobile (Desire HD ofc) through the car's speakers, and of course making calls and thou.
But every time I turn on the car and then the car-device search and connect to my mobile (automatically! woho) and I configured the mobile to run the "Car-Home" Aplication automaticly when the device is connected,
So then of course I want to put music (through "PowerAMP" - player witch I added icon to the list) So I need to press on the icon of the poweramp and then it opens it and I need to click play and then return to the home-car.
Too many clicks just to make music run.
Is there any way to make my life easier then it already does?
Like making the power amp press play automaticly when Bluetooth headset is connected?
or configuring the car-home to do it, it self..?
Thank you,
Yarden.

any one?

You might be able to do that with an app called 'tasker'. You can find it in the market (it's a paid app btw).
Here's an informative article about it;
h**p://lifehacker.com/5599116/how-to-turn-your-android-phone-into-a-fully+automated-superphone

seems like a very fine app,
But I can't make my command to work.
Do you know how to use this software and explain me please?
I only want to play music (my playlist is already on), when the car home app is turned on (it will pop on automatically when I'm in car driving).

I made it work with the default music app. To set up the profile follow these steps;
1. Select NEW and name your profile
2. Select 'application' in the context menu
3. Select 'car panel' and click DONE
4. Select 'New task +' in the task selection box
5. Name your task
6. Click + sign > select 'audio' > select 'media volume' > move 'level' slider to desired volume > select DONE
7. Againg Click + sign > select 'app' > select 'load app' > select 'Music' > select DONE (you could also select PowerAMP here but I didn't test this)
8. Again click + sign > select 'Media' > select 'Media control' > select 'Toggle Pause' in the 'cmd' droplist > select DONE (simulate media button has to be checked)
9. In 'task edit' window click DONE
10. Make sure your profile is loaded; green V next to profile (uppper right corner) and green ON in the bottom right corner
11. enjoy your tasker profile!
Optional
12. Hit the thanks button under my post

Your Phone "Phone Screen" option missing on PC

Just got my Note 10+ 2 days ago. I'm back to xda forum and note series after Note 2 ( i even still have Note 2 as my profile phone). Done setup my phone as I wanted. However, I've read there was option for Microsoft's native screen mirroring to PC through "Your Phone" app, but I didn't have that. I've checked, my PC meet all the requirements including the Bluetooth Low Energy Peripheral Role. Am I missing something or something I did it wrong?

This app came installed on my phone, but it is hidden from the app drawer. I haven't tried to use it yet.

It's an app on your PC. Try searching for it in Microsot Store.

Yup, already installed both on my PC and phone. The issue is the option for screen mirroring is missing.

Sorry, my bad. Was in a hurry when i read it so i misunderstood. Can you check what version your OS is in?

Just to make sure... pull down notification shade, pull down again to expose the full panel of toggles. Open the hamburger menu, then Button Order. Confirm that Link To Windows is not in either button panel or the New Buttons panel. Make sure to scroll both to expose any additional pages.

From what OP replied with earlier, he has already linked his phone with his PC. He's just missing the Screen Mirror option which should be under the Phone, Messages, and Notifications menus. I guess you missed the attached photo as i did?

Yup, it is connected. In fact this screenshot was taken from sync the Your Phone app to my PC.

Nvm, I've figured it might be something wrong with my main PC (Laptop) Your Phone app, since it works fine on my Microsoft Surface Go. Thank you guys for your input.

If your PC is not showing the same output, then i think your OS is outdated. Try updating to 1903. That'a the only reason i can think of at the moment. If it already is then i'm out ideas.
