Task Manager

Ride33 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-18-2010, 12:12 AM

Is there another way to access the task manager quickly to x out of a program instead of having to hit the little x up in the right corner? Half the time i hit the end key and assume that that shut the program down but it will still be open.

You could assign the task manager to your left soft key.

Go into settings, then all settings, then personal, then buttons. Highlight the second one and choose tasks from the drop down.

You can use this...

I use it on my Imagio.

Warning!!! Read the entire thread to make sure you want to use it!! I use it and it works great. But it does have a few compatibility issues with 6.5 (it was made for 6.5.1 and higher.

Ok i am not sure about trying something that says warning

I just want to be able to hit the end button and have it shut down the program. hence it being called an end button.

Any other suggestions?

If you hit the task manager icon and then hit the little wrench icon that will take you to task manager settings. go to the button tab at the bottom and tick the one that say end programs by tapping x not the one that says end programs by tapping and holding x.

that is how i have it set up now. It seems like i am constantly opening up the deal in the upper right corner to check and see if i have left a program running. not to mention that the spot to hit is incredibly small. wouldnt it be nice to just hit the end hard button.

I guess I don't worry about it that much, It closes everything for me except a few things I have on the exclusive list. FYI.....I may have time to fool with the taskbar again next week, kinda time consuming.
