[HD2 General] CHIP STAXMAN:
What's that about?

I've never used Task Manager so much in my life.

I'm not sure the thinking behind this.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Get the TouchX Taskmanager off this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4947950&postcount=1

Then, on the home tab, drop down the task manager (top right corner) and you can change the options (wrench) so that apps close when you click X. It also gives you a dropdown list of running apps so you can switch between them.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] CHIP STAXMAN:
Thanks John.

It still leaves me baffled though at the choice of doing things the way HTC have done. Surely there's going to be many consumer out there that don't even know what a Task Manager is, who will be running slow phones with no idea why.

Or maybe they all bought an iPhone.
[HD2 General] Neville.Holland:
See Here
[HD2 General] NeilM:
You can also get Microsoft's perspective on this Here

This is not an HTC issue- PPC and WinMo have always minimised apps by default unless the application itself has a Menu/Quit routine.

HTC have previously utilised their own Task Manager, which for some reason they didn't include in the HD2 hence the need for external apps such as JCM suggested. Maybe they thought 200MB was ample- compared to the 16MB of the early PPC devices?

In general I've not encountered any slowdowns, but I tend not to use many apps that stay memory resident.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
If you press and hold the X, instead of just tapping it, it will properly close the program. That option is within the Task Manager on the phone, in the settings of the phone.
[HD2 General] sh500:
I couldn't find this option on my brother's HD2 (T-Mobile). I've seen it on all previous devices that I've add.

Will have to try the other suggestions here.
[HD2 General] dogbreath:
Yep, in my T-Mobile UK build I can only access the SENSE settings and not the windows mobile settings that allows you to change taskbar settings.

Grrr
[HD2 General] Archer:
That's because the task manager button in the home page was removed for this version of Sense. Literally the first thing I did when I got the phone was to find out how to add that back.

I personally think it's a stupid idea, so I'm glad for this wonderful resource that we know as xda!
[HD2 General] dogbreath:
Dang was hoping for a registry setting,

Any idea how turn turn on windows settings only?
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
Having the programs already cached in memory allows faster access with successive uses. windows mobile automatically closes background programs should available memory get too low.

There are many threads on this site about increasing available memory on devices to increase speed, but many of the ideas are counter productive, because best speed is obtained when items are preloaded into memory. this is why there is great performance boost by increasing file system cache and glyth cache ect. but this comes at a memory cost

Slow device will only occur when memory runs out, this is pretty rare on modern phones (Touch pro and onwards) especially when using WM 6.5.

Remember, you have paid for that memory in your phone, so make sure to use it and not leave it empty so you can look at your task manager and see 50% free just to think it makes your phone quicker
[HD2 General] CHIP STAXMAN:
Good points rumple.

It's all those years of Windows use that have made me believe that killing processes is the cure for most evils. I'll have to retrain my thinking. :)
[HD2 General] qweac:
Do minimized programs use much battery?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Depends on the program. If it's one that only does things when you interact with it (press buttons, scroll stuff etc.) then no. If it does other things then it may well do, but it obviously varies greatly and depends what it does.

Does anybody know any good bluetooth headphones...I hate working out with wired headphones. Right now I'm debating between the Sony DRBT100CX and Motorola MOTOROKR S9-HD.
[Nexus One Accessories] marra2:
get the sonys as i've had the motos and they're rubbish and hurt your ears after a while !
[Nexus One Accessories] phiber23:
I have the motorokr s305 I just got from verizon for 25.00 on a sale. I also have a pair of Dynex headphones from ebay I got for 20$. They both feel ok and work great. For the price, the Dynex ones are good.

On a side note, I opened up the dynex headphones and wired audio cables up to it to plug into my home receiver.

Careful buying motorola products on ebay. I purchased a set of bluetooth headphones and got a knockoff. They worked like ****.
[Nexus One Accessories] cj2185:
The motorola s9 hd is totally wireless which is great.

The sony uses bluetooth 2.1 which might work better with my n1 compared to the motorola s9 hd's 2.0 bluetooth.
[Nexus One Accessories] meld0:
I have the Sennheiser MM400 and its the best i tried. Especially the sound is great if u listen to music as well!
[Nexus One Accessories] cj2185:
Yes, I using it to mostly workout...i need something that won't fall off while running so the Sennheiser MM400 might be suitable.
[Nexus One Accessories] Bicster_:
I don't think there are any "good" ones. Reading the reviews leads me to believe they all suck.

I have the Motorola S805 and they're comfortable enough but the sound quality is lacking and they're also quite noisy (hiss). I almost always use corded headphones instead.
[Nexus One Accessories] cj2185:
So what's the difference b/w bluetooth 2.0 vs. bluetooth 2.1
[Nexus One Accessories] Carloswithac:
About .1 :D
[Nexus One Accessories] cj2185:
LOL. good one...I mean specs wise. Better reception and quality?
[Nexus One Accessories] Accused187:
I actually own a pair of those Sony DRBT100CX and they work very good with the MyTouch. I listen to music on them a lot and there's no skipping.

Using it for calls works well also, the mic on it is sensitive though. I could stand about 25 feet away while talking in a normal voice and it comes in crystal clear on the other end (probably not good to use in crowded areas, at least for talking on the phone through it).

I also use it paired with my ps3 as a headset and it works well with it also.

I'm satisfied with it thus far. :)
[Nexus One Accessories] SilentMobius:
I have the Moto HT280's the S9's and now the Altec Lansing/Plantronics BackBeat 906

They all cut out horribly outdoors.

The problem seems to be they can't penetrate a human torso, so a phone in your breast pocket won't get signal to the antenna near the back of your head. If the signal has walls to bounce off of it's generally fine.

However if I use the audio->bt dongle that came with the 906's it works fine indoors or outdoors. So I'm currently blaming weak BT on the N1

I'm currently trying to figure out a BT TX power test suite to see of the N1 just has weak BT TX/RX power (perhaps to save the battery) and if it's changeable.
[Nexus One Accessories] SPAS79:
Motorokr S9, had them last year, they lasted about 3 months with me running75-80 minutes a day 4x or 5x week, then the sweat got in and f@@ked an

ll up. Definitely not worth it, also the controls are awful. I now have a pair of iLuv clip-on earphones, and they come with an adapter so they can be used even with non BT devices. I love them.
[Nexus One Accessories] charkosh:
Motorola S805 if you like supra aural head phones (not ear buds).

I use this for both computer headphones and headphones for my phone. It also has a mic if you get a phone call mid work out.

They do skip on occasion, but it's not that big a deal.
[Nexus One Accessories] apeironer:
Ive got Nokia BH-03 which are great for the price I paid which was about 40 bucks. 10 hours of music play time really loud and great sound quality(for Bluetooth headphones).

[Nexus One Accessories] JoshHart:
I have a pair of Sony BT and a pair of Insignia BT, they both sound great to me but im far from an audiophile. I usually use the insignias more because theyre wrap arounds which is better for me at the gym, but I usually leave my phone on the windowsill and the quality is fine wherever I walk around, its not a huge gym, but decent size and the audio controls built onto the insignias let me pause, skip fwd and back, volume and all that stuff which is nice.

[Nexus One Accessories] tyoma_first:
I used Moto S9-HD before and using Jabra Halo right now. From the sound quality and general feel I prefer Jabra, but it's not really durable and I am not sure if you like how it's internal decoration will look like after a few months of usage. Halo is also not the best for any sport activities.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pacman15:
Hello guys.

This is my first application for windows mobile. I developed this in a week or so. I used the Windows SDK 6, and I have only tested it on WM6.5 but I assume it will work on WM6.X.

This is a simple application to make lists of what you need to buy. So that way, when you remember to buy something, you put it in the list, and when you need to remember what to buy, you just have to load the list. :)

Pretty basic stuff.

How to use

It's pretty simple. When you open the application, you’ll have a text box and some buttons. The Add button will add to the list what is written in the text box. The Remove button will remove the selected item from the list. The Clean button will clean the list. Then you have the Save List, Load List, Delete list and About menus. Those are pretty obvious.

How to Install

Run the CAB file from your phone.

Requirements

Windows Mobile 6 ( not tested with previous versions )

.Net Framework Compact 3.5

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paperclip69:
I was looking for something like this but (and i know this may be past you) I would love to be able to have the ability to share with other devices or pc's so say my wife who is at home can make the list on the pc and send it to my device (could be built in transfer or email somthing liek that) and then i can do the shopping.

that would be fantastic

it is a good start though

cheers

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Snowdan:
Good App

I usually just use notes for shopping lists, this is a nice little improvment. Faster response than some of the fancy graphics shopping list apps I have used and when shopping basic and easy to use is all I want. Have had no probelms with it so far, the only feature request would be to be able to tick off or strikethrough an item so when in the store I can mark off as I go what I have and havent got.

A good first app, keep it up.

Snowdan.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pacman15:
Thanks.. :) I appreciate that... the Remove button should delete the selected item in the list. I would like to make a checkbox next to the item but its not available in WinMobile SDK... so, waiting for new release from Microsoft.

Thank you for using :)

Hopefully I can make it better and better. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] seancojr:

2) hide/unhide marked item from the list

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pavanmaverick:
Just tried your app, and really like it. I do, however, have some suggestions which I think would make this a killer app, while still keeping it small and simple.

1. Ability to edit items

2. Ability to filter completed items

3. Delete items either individually or several at a time

4. Change the order of items

Good work, and thanks for sharing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturw:
Some suggestions:

1.Have to be two modes - making list and shopping. Making list mode we are almost already have. Just no need to delete last time marked items and next time typing them again - it is possible to check-uncheck and if it wasn't before so add something new.

In shopping mode necessarily full screen without any buttons, fields ets. only list with check boxes.

2.Check box must be at the right side

3.Checked items - crossed out and moved to the end of the list

;)

reg workaround for position freeze

if you know your latitute and altitude, then you can simply edit your registry...

navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VITO\AstroNavigator" and change the values to your position. they should be "0"

you can check, if your at the right spot, if you switch "night_mode" from "0" to "1" or vice versa if you have it currently enabled.

when you start astro navigator then, you should see the changes regarding night mode, and if you take a closer look, then you should see, that the grid in the map looks different than before :D

has anyone experienced the problem of vibration not turning off when receiving email? my hd2 vibrated for like i dont know, at least almost 10minutes one night when i was sleeping and i was woken up by the sound of the vibration. thank God the vibration motor was not burnt due to overuse or overheat.

i had a windows mobile 5 htc made smartphone and the vibration motor almost got damaged once because the entire device got stuck and hang in one occasion when a call was received and i was out. the phone was charging and i think the vibration went on and on more God knows how long. when i got back, the motor was extremely weak, and i think permenantly damaged.

and i dont like the fact that in every windows mobile phone (or just htc phones) the vibration does not pulse, and is constantly on until the ringtone is finished playing. this is really dumb. has been like this since windows mobile 5. i've owned 4 htc made windows phone now and even the latest and greatest HD2 has not improved in this matter.
