Handy Taskman Application
Recently I installed in my S60 mobile a very useful application to handle applications and memory stuff. It is called Handy Taskman and it actually replaces the default application that shows you all the running application in a S60 mobile. It opens as usual, by keeping pressed the menu button.
This application shows you which applications are running at the moment (see picture 1) (it can be that they are more than you think). Apart form that, on the right side of the screen, you can see useful information about the free RAM of the mobile, the free phone memory space and the free card space (see picture 1 again or picture 2).

By pressing the right “button” of the joystick you change the view into the recently opened application (see picture 2). There, you can see the applications that you have recently closed and you can open them by selecting them.
Beside that, there is a very useful menu that provides you with more options. Hitting options will bring up the menu shown in picture 3.

This menu provides you with the following options:
- Go to (go to the selected application)
- Close
- End (the selected application)
- End all (Ends all the applications)
- Find and Start (finds the application you want and opens)
- Memory Information
- Configuration
- Help
- Exit
The configuration menu is very intresting (see Picture 4). It reveals an options called “Close all exceptions”, which I am still trying to discover what is actually doing!!!
Anyway, Handy Taskman is a very useful application, at least it helped me a lot. Personally, I find it useful because I can handle ram issues better and be sure that whatever I close (Contacts for example), it is closed. Give it a try.
P.S. Sorry for the pictures being in Greek, but you still can get the message by both seeing the pictures and reading my comments.
Introduction
This is my new blog, related to S60 mobiles. Recently I bought a Nokia N73 mobile and I became addicted to this operating system because it is really the best thing I have ever seen in “common” mobiles.
This blog while be updated with S60 issues, such as news, themes, applications, games, etc… I rely on your passion about S60 (and not only) phones and I ask for your participations (via commenting and ideas) in order to make the S60 experience bigger and better.
Thank you very much.
