phone hanging when trying to access the task manager / memory manager
Mar 24 2008, 11:08 AM EDT
I am trying to access the task manager/memory manager to close running applications, and it never lets me in. The top of the screen displays 'Task Manager', but the rest of the screen just hangs. If I press the home button, it takes me back to the home page, but otherwise, everything else has frozen.

If I turn the phone off and back on again, it fixes it, but obviously when I turn it back on, there are no applications running

Has anyone else experienced this?

I see this behavior quite frequently. I definitely see this more than the expected/correct behavior when trying to access Task Manager on my Shadow. Do you find this valuable?

I just got my Shadow and it is doing the same thing, it just hangs with Task Manager at the top. This seems like a bug to me, so why isn't there a fix out?

I, too, experience the same issues. This somehow bugs me. I hope there is a solution to it.

Does it happen when you use Live Search? I get the same problem when I use that application. You don't have to power off your phone. All you need to do is press the red phone power button once and it will unfreeze the phone. From there you go back into the window start and get back into the Live Search application again and go to menu and exit from there. So it might be a good idea if you are done using Live Search next time to just exit from there. Hope this works for you. Do you find this valuable?

Not letting you close out the live search in the task manager and making you go back into the application is not a bad thing. (don't know if they meant it that way or not). Let's say you downloaded some directions and you go on your merry little way. You stop somewhere to grab a bite and you play around with your phone and close all programs by accident then you would have to input the info again. Or worse yet you can't get a signal and you are out in the middle of no where. Minor incovience for piece of mind.

Forgot to mention even when you lose the signal the directions will still be there, Map function is limited.
