OK / Cancel Options

regression · #1 (**permalink**) 01-09-2009, 01:24 AM

I am still relatively new to PPC's (coming from a SmartPhone). One thing I have noticed is a lot of screens were you set options, like Settings --> Phone, you can change the options and click OK on the top right, but I don't see any way to cancel. Let's say you are in a settings screen that has multiple tabs. You make some changes on a couple tabs, then for whatever reason, you want to back out without save any changes. I don't see how to do that.

Maybe it is something simple I am over looking. I have a HTC Touch Pro, if that matters. But figured this is a Windows Mobile question, not specific to a certain phone, so hope I'm in the right forum.

I have tried pressing the Back key, but it has the same effect as clicking OK.

Any advice is appreciated!

when theres some changes i make and dont like what i changed, i soft reset to not use the changes. or, set the changes then go back and change them back.

Thanks, I didn't think of the soft reset idea. I have found myself going through different tabs and forgetting what I changed (if there are lots of options on each tab).

Yeah, short of soft-reseting, the whole phone, you could just kill the process...

Hit the Start (Windows Flag) button, Settings, System Tab, Task Manager, then Select the program you don't want to save the data in, then click on End Task...

Still killing a fly with a hammer tho..
