Guest NismO_UK Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi, Just got my new XDA Mini S on O2 and am so far happy with it. One query that I have is that if I open an app. such as solitaire, when I click the 'x' in the top right corner it appears to close, but if I go to system>memory>running programs it still shows solitaire as a running program. I have also noticed that activesync will pop up on the running programs screen, even if I haven't used it? I do have sbp pocket plus installed, could this cause this problem? How do I sort this out??

Guest JamieDow Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Not a problem as such, it happens on all pocket pc's unfortunatly. Not sure if there is any way of stopping that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Swampie Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 In Pocket PC hitting the X at the top right doesn't close it, it just moves it to the background - like minimising. In theory Windows Mobile manages the applications running and closes background apps as/when needed. Unless you're having memory issues or the background app is using excessive CPU, there's no need to close them. Was the same on my SPV C500 (smartphone, not pocket pc) - some apps had a 'quit' menu option, others didn't and just went to background when you returned to the home screen.

It is one of the handy features of sbp pocket+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ripnet Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Google for MagicButton - its free and does exactly what u want - it changes the X button to close rather than hide. It can also display icons in the title bar for running programs. Why Microsoft didnt include this in the core OS is still a mystery :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pigo Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I agree. dumb move by microsoft. they forget that a pocket PC is meant to be fast not to slow down everytime you open a app. SPB Pocket plus. it's not free but well worth the buy. it rocks!!! best app I've used yet.
