Hi,
I've noticed that HTC Task Manager causes strange problem - after closing any application (Total Commander, Pocket Informant...) with close button - first tap doesn't work. For example - first tap on Calendar, SP Phone Suit or any other program icon does nothing, second - everything backs to normal...
After turning Task Manager off - problem disappeared.
Just in case if somebody will have the same problem (maybe anybody noticed that?).

Was running ATT WM5 and all was well. Flashed to Offical ATT WM6 using SPL2.1. Now I'm at ROM 3.62.502.3 1.54.07.00 32.86u.7020.23H. At this point, still ok. Installed PPTFix to remap button 5 to Voice Speed Dial and setup Plantronics head set. Still ok. Added some email accounts and a customized background. All ok. Synced Contacts, Notes, etc. Still ok. Decided I didn't like the Comm and Battery Icons on the bottom tray and ran MobileRegistryEditor and changed values from 1 to 0. Still ok the rest of afternoon and last night.
Got up this morning, did a soft reset, and everything went to hell. Booted normally up to the green Windows screen, then hung there for 3 or 4 minutes. Finally got to the Today screen, but all apps run like honey on a cold morning. I can use VoiceCommand to place calls and I can Dial out Manually, but if I tap my contacts button, no contacts show up. Email won't send/receive, but I can get incoming calls. Today screen shows correct appointments and task, but tap Calandar and they don't show up there.
Before I do anything else, I wanted to get some ideas on where to start.
Pretty sure hiding the comm manager was your problem
I'm pretty sure hiding the comm manager icon was your problem, I've heard there are numerous problems when you hide the comm manager icon. Change that key back and see if your problems go away.
KarhU said on the ROM benchmark :
6. Never hide the WirelessManager Tray Icon at the bottom.
Don't believe me?
Try it and feel the difference.
This is the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000 ;<--- (dword:00000000 to hide and dword:00000001 to show)
Yeah, I've seen this issue in many of the recent WM6 ROM Threads. It's a true shame, since it means we're stuck with having to keep the bottom tray visible. I (for one) do not like that waste of screen space.
Too bad the fix for this anomaly is so elusive.

Thanks for the help. It looks like the Comm Mgr icon may have been the problem. My 8525 wouldn't connect to the Internet, Email or (thru Active Sync) to my desktop. Finally went into Settings/System/Clear Storage and it completely reloaded WM6. Reinstalled all my extra apps and things are fine. Of course I haven't tried to edit the registry and get rid of those bottom icons, and I don't think I'm going to. If anyone finds a sure method to get rid of the bottom system tray, please post.
Hi. I have a verry disturbing problem with my Hermes and I hope to find a solution in here.
From time to time, my calendar stop working. In "agenda" mode I can't shift days (no mather which day I select, it shows only the curent day). In other modes (like "day", "month" , "year"), I can select other days, but I can't add other appointments. He let me acces the menu, to add the data, and tipe of the appointment, but he don't save the changes I made.
I can solve the problem by clearing storage, and restoring the OS.
I'm using WM6 provided by HTC as update from WM5; HTC home plug-in with tabsetings; HTC Task Manager 2.0.30487.2 ; Kaiser 10 button CommManager ; Kaiser 3G Dialer and PCMkeyboard.
Any solutions ? Thanks !
I had the same issue to. I found its the HTC task manager 2. If you set it to close the program when you press the X button it never saves anything in calendar.
I found it the easiest thing was to remove the task manager and re-install HTC Xbutton 1.5 or you can add calendar to the exclusions list or set it to only close when X button is pressed and held.
Help that helps
Yes, it works. I've try to install and reinstall each software I use, to find the buggy one, but I didn't try, until now, with the task manager provided by HTC.
Thanks allot man.
Have anyone noticed, that after closing a program it disappears from task manager, but stays running in the background?
I mean, when I start opera it's in the task manager, and when I close it, it dissapears, but the memory consumption stays the same, and after restarting opera it continues where I have left it (like I was browsing some page, and it opens directly with that page) - So it wasn't closed at all!
Another program called Tracky offroad navigation. When I clicked on the X on the upper right corner, it disappeared from the task manager, however right after this I tried to remove tracky (settings->remove programs) and it asked me first: Do you want to quit Tracky?
So It did not close it either.
Have anyone else noticed this?
yups, i am having the same problem too with opera. it's still running although it no longer appears in the task manager
Noone else, just two of us?
That's strange. How will we find a solution then? :\
Same thing here with opera. For opera, I assume it could be because they have integrated it into touchflo3d and they will probably start it in the background to download your favourite sites, so HTC might have modified it to hide it from the task manager (or they modified the task manager)... Until now i have not found a second program showing this behaviour...
I have been playing around with the registries and it seems there are some registry settings that you can change to prevent that
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
If you look into the above folder, you can find a list of apps that will run under exclusive, meaning they will not show up in the normal task manager. You will notice Opera9.exe is in there. If you remove the entry, you can now see Opera9.exe in the task list. But it still doesn't seem to terminate the process when you exit Opera. To do that you need to go to
HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess
Add a DWORD key (Opera9.exe) and set the value to 1. Now when you exit Opera, the process will be terminated and memory returned.
This works for me.
Hey,
thx for the info!

Still a problem...
For me, its G-alarm and Pocket Player... when i close either program, the music (or alarm) continues to play in the background, and neither program shows up in the task manager, and often i can't open the program back up again after that. I usually have to soft reset my phone to stop the alarm. (the reason I closed the alarm that way is that some landscape or rotation problem made it so i couldn't hit the off button and noticed that the alarm kept going) I'm also using the T-mobile stock rom. Neither of those programs show up in the registry however, so i'm lost as to what to do. Note of course if i do close hte programs properly they do turn off, but sometimes I hit the X button and they don't close properly or crash.
Thanks!
This is an odd and very frustrating one...
A few days ago my o2 UK XDA Orbit (back in use after another Touch Pro death) has started behaving rather oddly.
This has been a solid phone for a few years and is used as my backup phone - it had a motherboard death just over a yer ago, but has been good ever since.
However, a few days ago I found the following:
- in messaging I have to select an item with the roller-ball and then double tap to open them. If I don't select first before double-tapping then whichever message is selected open regardless of which message I double tap.
- it is not possible to open messages by selecting and then pushing the roller-ball.
- it is not possible to take photographs as pushing the rollerball seems to do nothing now (rolling it works ok).
- the issue doesn't seem to be limited to the roller-ball as a single tap on a message in the list just selects the message. A single tap on another message selects that message as well (ie multi-select).
- Tapping the screen when writing a message selects the whole word rather than just moving the cursor - its almost as though singl- and double-tap functions have reversed.
Has anyone else seen this and is there a way to fix it?
Soft resets don't work and I don;t want to do a hard reset at the moment as this phone has all my stuff on it while my Touch Pro is out of order.

when i do force stop of skype it stops fine for like half an hour and then starts again by itself and signs in.
Has anyone experienced this?
same issue here
Download Gemini apps manager from market and remove from autorun all system events like on boot completed, on connectivity change, on package install, etc.
Don't touch unknown events (usually uppercase) or it won't work unless you see it still active and remember that this way you aren't able to answer incoming call when program is closed (that's why it keeps reopening)

this is stupid "feature" of Skype 2.0 - Skype is a "search provider" type of application. As a consequence of this, the default behavior of the Android platform is to try to restart the application if it crashes or the user does a force close. Skype does not auto-start itself after signing out of Skype.
