Guest Subliminal Aura Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 This really annoys me... If I have an app open (lets say opera mini) and switch the screen off. When I switch the screen back on I'm presented the today screen - so annoying... Why can't it stay at the last opened app ? Or can someone tell me how to do this ? I've tried disabling the today screen timeout but that doesn't work (maybe I need to do a soft reset). Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Guest jimbouk Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Its something on your today screen that is causing it to revert. Probably HTC Home. If you clear everything off your today screen, and don't have a password set up, the device should stay with the current app, until the time out elapses. But whats the point of an empty today screen? And whats the risk of an unprotected device? Edited November 23, 2007 by jimbouk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Subliminal Aura Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) But whats the point of an empty today screen? And whats the risk of an unprotected device? Exactly ! I can't afford to apply those changes <_< Surely theres got to be a way around this ? (ps my password timeout is 15 mins - solely put in place so that I can access my last used app quickly whilst on the move) Edited November 23, 2007 by Subliminal Aura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lozzd Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 That's bloody weird. I came here tonight to make this exact post. I was on the train home and experimenting with using my phone as a media player, using Windows Media Player. so you can use the power button to switch off the screen to save battery, but whenever I turned the device back on, Windows Media Player would close itself. It's ANOTHER bug of the password protection! I can't believe this. It's not even HTC's fault... This is something that worked fine in Windows Mobile 5 that they broke in 6! So I've now disabled the password protection and it remains in any app properly (btw this is despite my password timeout being hours, not minutes) So it's the same kind of thing as when you've been on a call for longer than your device turn off time, the password protection screen dims the screen and breaks the device. they HAVE to fix this, its getting ridiculous now.

Guest Subliminal Aura Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Again dispite everything I fear that this is not a bug but a feature ;) Yes its annoying but on the plus side think about it... App freezes - you can turn it off and on again goto the today screen and try to kill it. Another potential plus is for apps like mini opera that don't like to be run in the background... Again switch on and off and run another app. Dunno where to place myself on this I'm 50/50 - another thing we need to get used to I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 If you do go ahead and disable the password protection you can always go ahead and install Sprite Terminator for security peace of mind. ;) I use it myself just in case the worst happends!
