This is pissing me off. I was trying to change the icon for a program on SPB Pocket Plus 4, so i found the icon, when i hit select, a window opened that was blank, and the phone froze. I soft reset, but when it came on. It had basically hard reset its self. All of my settings where gone, but my programs where still there. So normally i could just re-input my settings - not too bad, just takes time but things like the today screen wont work. The programs are still there but none of them show up in the today plugin list. Also a program called Internet Sharing was installed and a couple icons in the program list where changed...
Any idea what happend and/or how to fix it before i just hard reset it and reinstall everything.

Hi guys, I am having some little problems with my Xda2i as following.
1. I use button lock to stop using the camera button (as I always accidentally touch it then camera starts, many time I open camera without notice for long time till my battery almost gone!!) Every time I soft reset, it always turn to defalut mode.
2. Also the same happen with "today". I show some items such as Worldmate. When soft reset, it disappears (though I ticked to show it always)
3. Favorites network also the same, ticked it then changed after reset.
Could anybody please help me?.
Many many thanks in advance..
do what i have done removed the camera from my start up prgrams and allocated the button to none that way it can't activate
as for the others i'm not to sure ,i'm sure some1 else will be able to help
Sounds like somehow the registry has become read only. Have a look in the startup folder and see if there any programs in there that shouldn't be running. Also has this started after some program has been installed?
Hi Pug, checked my startup and found below program lists
-camera_detect
-checkautorun
-clear_notify
-IA_CID_start
-PHM Traylaunch
-PhotocontactPro
-Pocketnavy
-poutlook
-RunBT
-spb GPRS monitor
-STK
It seems like you doubt, it happens after program installation.
Any more advice?
Many many thanks
I don't doubt you at all, just trying to help you solve this.
PHM hasn't got a registry restore feature has it? If it has try disabling it. I don't use it so I don't know.
Don't know what that Pocket Navy is so can't comment on that.
If you delete Camera_Detect you can assign the camera button to something else if you want and the button assignment will survive a soft reset.
Sorry for my aweful english, Pug.
This problem wa before PHM installed, it should be ok (anyway I am not knowledgable to know if it has registry or not. I am too new hands)
Pocketnavy is "CloseAll" I like it more because it has window to see running programs and can select to close which one. THe most important is it free.
I will try to fix it as you recommend. Very appreciated your time to help.
Thanks again
I recently noticed that my screen orientation icon at the bottom of the today screen has disappeared. I tried the registry tips mentioned under services, and the gdi folder, but the icon hasn't come back even after a couple of soft resets. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to go through the hassle of a hard reset, especially since I'm moving to another country in a few days.

I have the same problem.
I think it's with the startup programs every boot/soft reset.
The only solution I had was to hard reset, but when I restore my backup it disappears again.
I'm still looking for the program that was installed that somehow overrides the startup service of the rotatescreen.dll
I seem to have fixed it for the time being. I edited showicon to 1 in the HKLM/GDI/Rotation, file -> exit resco file explorer then immediately soft-reseted.
It might have something to do with my uninstalling Skype to install on the SD card though...good luck.
remember seeing someone said it needed to check the registry

Unfortunately I don't have Skype installed...
and I've tried the registry...
so I'm left with finding out which program I've installed is the culprit for overriding the startup of the screen rotate icon service...
as of now, I've somehow learned to live with it not there...
Have you tried both locations in the registry? Set hideUI to 0, and showicon to 1. then immediately exit your registry program after affecting the changes, and soft reset, lemme know how it goes
Hi there,
installed a manila mod from a cab over from another thread which didnt work, then uninstalled and since then i have the problem that touchflo does not start automatically anymore. it starts, and is activated in the today settings but the interface does not appear from itself. it says "tap here to start touchflo3d now" (translated from german) and when I do it starts and then the PIN enter keyboard appears.
i found no setting like that and it seems kinda senseless to implement such a function.
what can I do now? any way to revert that back to "autostart"?
I would say that when you uninstalled that cab, it did not put touchflo back to how it was originally.
I had the same problem with some manilla mod i tried a while ago and it did the same thing. Had to use manillaconfig 0.6 (i think that's what it was called, i only ever used it once) to reset manilla and then it was fine.
Well, after 5 reboots it works again. strange.
maybe there was something still in the RAM causing it to save the old settings when you rebooted
and maybe that final reboot was ok because the RAM was fully wiped
Help...!
Something crazy just happened to my start menu...
Anyone seen this kind of craziness before...?
Seemed to fix with a soft reset, but I don't want it to happen again, meaning I have to soft reset all the time...
do you use the normal start menu as default or the one provided by tf3d
tf3d provides different start menu?
yes, the tf3d one is bigger and a little finger friendly
Maybe try this:
a) go to \Windows\Start Menu
b) rename Programs folder to something else
c) rename it back to Programs
This should reload Start Menu's recent positions.
Everything's normal, just a freakout by WM, I suspect...
Soft reset fixes it...
Luckily, it seems like it was a once off...
I installed Wisbar, didn't like it, removed it. Now the usual taskmanager icon is missing from the top bar... anyone knows how to fix it?
thx
Ok, it seems something is preventing the TaskmanagerService from autostarting even though MemMaid is showing it to be set on auto. I can start it manually but after soft reset it's stopped again.
curses!
Got it. Using MemMaid stop it, set it to auto, soft reset without starting it. On the next boot should be loaded automatically. What a strange software this wisbar.
