I always have Today screen after turn-on PDA

[sesaru]

Hello,

I have a problem with my Hermes. Always, after I turn on my PDA, it go direct to "Today" screen. That means that if I have one program open, I turn off PDA, and then turn on again, instead of have this program open, I get "Today", and I need to use a "task manager" or similar for change to the original program .

Anybody can help me?

Thanks!
Sesaru

UPDATE: From samw52000:
This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.

Is there any way to fix it without removing the password? I need the password!

Sesaru,

Can you explain a bit more what you mean? When you switch on the Hermes it does go to the today screen after the boot screens as its default behaviour. Not sure what you believe the problem is.

You need the software X-Button

It adds a little icon on top-left corner of your screen.

When you click on it, it shows all the programs that are running, you can click on whichever one you want to bring it back up to your front screen.

It is similar to ALT-TAB on a PC.

I had nothing but poor performance out of X-button.

handy switcher is a better app and much cleaner way of doing it.

Hello;

I'll try again (I made the post at 3AM).

The problem is: I'm using the PDA in anyway (File Explorer, Office, etc); imagine that I'm using Pocket Word. Then, I wait sometime without touching any button or I push on/off button --> the PDA turn off (normal ;))

After that, I press on/off button (and then, the PDA turn on). The normal behaviour (I think) is to have open in my screen the last application I was using (Pocket Word), so then I can continue working directly... but the PDA always change to "Today" screen. So I have to use X-Button (or similar) to switch to the app I was using. And that is quite annoying ...

I hope I could explain better myself.
Thanks!

Go to SETTINGS, then TODAY. Click on the ITEMS tab at the bottom.

Is "Today timeout:" checked? What does it have in the drop down box?

If not then you're SOL (just like me).

Ummm, careful Kc SN ... I see you haven't posted much, but you should get into the habit of reading the entire thread before you start to type. Otherwise, the foot can easily wind up in the mouth, as is evidenced here. ;)

Oh! That's true! Is there any way to fix it without removing the password?
