Problem with Magic Button

[markmcrobie]

Great little app, but I constantly find I can't close the last open application to get back to my Today screen - and if I go Start > Today, nothing happens - it seems as if the XDA *thinks* it's at the Today screen already, but my last open app (usually Phone) is still on screen, an no matter how often I clikc the little Magic Button X, it won't go away.

This only usually happens when I have a single app open, if I have 2 or more they close fine with Magic Button, right down till the last 1, then this problem starts.

Even more annoying because if I can't get to Home, I can;t lock the device.

I have a complaint about Magic Button also. On my wizard, it opened the phone menu everytime I close the window of Settings. The other annoying thing is that the X did not blend in with my theme colors. It's always a different color and looks very odd.

So what I did was uninstalled magic button and have started to use InClose program. It is MUCH better.

IMO, Magic button is crap. I dont know why people recommend it so much. Well ok, it might just be that it does not get on with the wizard.

It kept crashing for me, so i started using InClose. Brilliant freeware app and has been working perfectly for a few months now. Get it.

Zero problems with Magic Button here. Been running it for a while now

Magic Button was unacceptable to me on my Blue Angel and it's been no better for me on my Wizard. Personally I prefer wclose or smclose (which I believe are pretty much the same program) in conjunction with Smartskey.
Just my two cents worth!

I had the same problem with magic Button. After closing all the applications, the phone application would maximize. (you aren't allowed to actually close the phone application.) So with the phone application maximized, and no way to minimize it. It would get stuck on the top of the screen for me as well. I dont like in close either. It crashed alot on my system. Just use smartskey. It works great.

Hi, I had same problem with magic button and changed it to vbar (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/vbar.shtml). It's nice program with one bug - the X/ok button have blue bacground no matter what theme and color you have.

For vBar you can select your own BMP picture.. ..works like a charm!

I've been using MagicButton for a long time now, and I didn't have any problem with it on my Wizard or Prophet. :)
