Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

I have looked at all the other threads and could not find anything out. Yesturday I went to a Sprint store for an issue with my Video out, and they hard reset my phone, and still didn't fix it, which I should have know better.
but anyway sio I downloaded Mobile shell again and the new version does not have X button, is there something missing, is that the way 3.5.3 is or what? I do have X button with out Mobile Shell

yea i found this out after dl that version .. for the small time i tried that buggy a$$ mobile shell version i had to DL a task manager & also the htc menus werent in that 1 either but theres a fix for that sum where as well here on the site

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

works fine here. task manager is built into mobile shell, you probably just dont know what your doing with it. try exploring, work very very well on stock rom.

what version are you running ? i know when i gave spb m.s. a chance that build didnt have a task manager built into it. but idc cuz i ditched m.s. cuz it made my phone unstable. to each his own though. enjoy!

I'm not worried about the task manager, I am wondering about the lack of X button.

Put a today widget on your main MS panel. That'll dump you out of MS.

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

when you say the lack of the X button, are you talking about the different SPB MS screens? because you have that back arrow softkey on the bottom right of your screen. there is no x button for the spb ms screens. unless i run an app/program, then that's when i see the x button to close out.

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

Yeah, if all you're doing is trying to get back to the today screen, then the above would work, but I don't know why you would need the X when you're in the main screen of MS? It's there for me on every OTHER screen but the home screen... which makes sense, since I don't want to close the home screen...

oh damn. i suppose i totally read that wrong lol.

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

Duuuuuuuuuudes, yes the 3.5.3 hides the task manager, that is the X @ top right corner. No mas, gone , finito when u use 3.5.3 You can use the spb task mgr which is a Widget, dowload a new task mgr (wont show in the corner...)
As for me, phuk it I am using 3.5 and am ok with it so I can keep the htc task mgr. 3.5.3 doesnt bring me any new functionlity or jack but take away the TM:mrgreen:

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

The X button I am talking about is the HTC X Button, the one in the upper right corner, you click on it, a drop down menu opens up and you can close programs that you are not using. The X button that is there now is just to get out of that program, but it still runs in the back ground, I think.? Or does the X button actually close the program and do away with the HTC X button program

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

Yeah i gotcha man, and yes the spb built in TM will close any application u select, I just like the original because of its location...always on top unlike the widget, u need to have it on each page...forget it:mrgreen:

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

Assuming we have the same layout, if you click on "launcher", the task manager should be one of the first options on top.

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

Thanks, I tried that and it works, just not as easy or great as X button. Does anyone know if I can drop back to 3.5?

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

Yeah drop back dude no prob, registration will stay in your tp2...no need to register ,u can reinstall over..

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

That button you're referring to is, I believe, the HTC Task Manager button and, as you've stated, the drop down displays running programs (along with the 'X' to stop them. It also displays percentage of available memory left. I checked with SPB support and indeed any version of Mobile Shell above 3.5.2 will cause the HTC task manager button to disappear...the technician told me that some new feature in the later version of MS (compatibility with WM 6.5 I think) interferes with it. I like the button also, sooooo, I reverted to Mobile Shell 3.5.2.

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

ok now i get what the OP was looking for. pulled out my phone and started trying to look for what he was talking about ON the spb...d'oh!!...lol. when i got on ms a couple of months ago, i too started looking for that but i just got used to not seeing it anymore, i guess. so the lower update version will still let me have that button? anyone can you please link me to the right direction where i can get this version? based on what's been said here, since im registered already, downgrading to it will not make any difference in registration, correct?

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

I am attaching the Task Manager I have been using. It puts a little dot in the upper right corner where the X used to be. Tap that dot and it opens up the task manager which shows you how much memory is being used and allows you to close apps.

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

That is correct man, u can downgrade w/o prob.I will look my 3.5.1 up for ya.


Got the 3.5.1, my upload sucks, I will try later or hit me with your email via pm and u ll have later if u cant find it..

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

I do like a few of the new things with 3.5.3 such as the size of the menu pop ups, more finger friendly, little faster and less drag/freezing. So maybe a trade off here or there might not that big a deal, plus with the down of the new task manager it is ok

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

good lookin' out HB! i'll try to look for it out there. and if i can't find it, i'll take you up on your offer (will let you know when/if i find the dl for it as well).

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

I run 3.5.3 and Arkswitch, which is activated from the taskbar on the left side. A perfect combination - lets me shut down any application extremely quickly!

Re: Mobile shell 3.5.3= no X button
 

Same here, works quite well.
