Guys, I have an odd problem - can someone advise?
I just upgraded to the new Dutch 6.1 ROM and also installed Opera 9.5. Firstly, I have to say that these two moves have completely transformed the Kaiser - the new Opera is spot on. (only small problem I can see is the TCMPM no longer works)
Problem is that my Remove Programs list now contains just Resco Backup and Oper 9.5. I have tons of now useless software on the device, but it isn't showing up. I guess this might be because I reinstalled everything via Resco Backup, rather than installing the individual files. Is there a way to refresh the list of installed programs so that I can go through uninstalling them?
You will need to reinstall every one of the programs first then uninstall...
This might be a pain but its safest way!
good thinking - clumsy, but it works. thanks

Hi,
I have a Kaiser which keeps locking up whenever I try to use IE. Very rarely will it actually load a complte page and allow youto click on a link. More often that not, the device hangs whilst trying to load a page, the little circle in the bottom right stops 'spinning', and everything freezes. The soft keys onscreen and even the hard keys stop working and you have to do a soft reset.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I had this on mine... wasn't sure what was causing it so did a hard reset and re-installed apps and its fine now. What apps/tweaks you got? Maybe there is something common that caused it?
I still have the problem on mine. I am using Opera now don't want to re-install all the apps.
My installed apps:
htc audio home plug
sktools
resco explorer
TT 6.032
iGo
Live Search
Google Maps
Opera
Palringo
BT Audio Toggle
Real One
Skype
Spb Backup
TCPMP
Sprite Backup
WM6 Remote Desktop
Yahoo Go 2.0
I have the following installed:
TomTom Navigator 6
SBP GPRS Monitor
OneNote Mobile
Fizz Traveller
Sprite Backup
Skype
HTC X- Button
I did have fit4Cat Hermes Tweaker installed, but as I was not using any of it I have just uninstalled it and tried IE and this time it is working.
Not sure ifthis really made the difference as Fit4Cat wasn't even running when I was having the problems. Weird.
I had the same issue but I had the patch installed that used the SD card for the IE cache. I removed that and did a warm reset.
I haven't had IE lock up on me in a day now on either Edge or 3g
That seems to have solved it!
The removal of Fit4Cat Hermes Tweaker was not the problem, it was a previous registry hack, that had worked on the Hermes, that I used to store the Cache on the Storage Card to save space.
I edited the registry to put the cache back on the device and IE loaded pages without locking up and it was much quicker too.
Thanks for this one.
Hmm I have that problem too ... and yes, I moved the cache to the card. I think that is the root cause.
Anyway, I use Opera Mini now which is way much faster. IE is just no contest against Opera Mini in terms of speed !

Same here, I changed the chache lokation to SD using Memmaid and IE was locking up randomly. But after reverting the settings back to original (use device memory) I didn't have a single hang.
Hi there
Does anyone else use SPB Pocket Plus (latest version V4.0.2 - Dec 07) and WM6.1 and suffer the annoying problem where the today plugin icons don't pickup correctly after a reset?
It's easily fixed by clicking to refresh all tabs, but surely it shouldn't do it???
I'm also suffering a problem whereby not all text messages are received by my phone. (I posted in the General section with no joy - am hoping that you software guys may know if something conflicts?!) It's very strange as the phone lights up as if a text is coming through, then nothing happens. I've tried a Hard Reset and restore to no avail.
Wierd thing is, my mate has a Kaiser on Vodafone UK (V1615) running WM6.0 and he has the same problem - I'm on O2-UK so it's not a carrier problem.
I set his Kaiser up for him with much the same software as mine, including SPB PocketPlus V4.0.2...
I also (I know, I'm sorry!) have a problem with the today screen if I change things... For example, if I change the backdrop via Pictures and Video's, more often than not the phone will hang requiring a stylus reset. Am wondering if this is SPB PocketPlus related???
Any idea's? (Sorry about the multi questions!!)
Cheers
sorry about the double post!

As far as the PocketPlus, I am using it and I haven't had a problem at all with the icons or anything else for that matter. I haven't had any problems with the txt msgs either. You may need to reset the mms server?? I don't know about that, I just remember reading about it in another thread somewhere... As for the backdrop change, that's not a pocket plus related conflict. I am not sure what else you have installed, but I have changed mine multiple times in the past 2 days and haven't had a single problem or anything that told me I had reset or that I needed to soft reset the phone. I would suggest unistalling the Pocket Plus and reinstalling it. I know that I have had to do that before because of one of the other SPB proggies i used had changed some values in the registry for it. Otherwise, I would contact SPB, they would know how to fix it. Unless you didn't purchase it...
Hi Killerbeans!
I'v tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times to no avail unfortunately
The only other things I have installed (all bought and paid for!) that startup with the phone are SKTools (set to performance optimisation) and Kasperski AntiVirus...
I might try uninstalling those and SPB and reinstalling them one by one...
Cheers for the response though!
I have been havng the spb problems since 6.1 installation as well (I am with AT&T in the US, original Kaiser).
Thanks for pointing out the "Refresh All Tabs" option...I have to stupidly admit that I was not aware of it and I have been fixing the icons one at at a time....very boring...However, I have no solution to offer to the problem, other than to verify that it is a real one.
Hmm running fine on my kaiser with the hyperdragon roms...
Are you using the "close button" plugin? if so, did you enter tmail.exe and poutlook.exe as exceptions? don;t doing this could lead to problems
for the icons, I have the same problems too sometimes, did you install it on main memory? are the missing icons from programs installed on storagecard?
there is an option under today plugins->advanced, "refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." try enabling that and see if it helps

Hi guys!
Thanks for the responses! It's 'good' to know it's not just me having the SPB problem, although not good that it's happening at all!
I've installed it on Storage Card (as I have since my Wizard days). Using SKTools I've set the SDDeamon to startup 1st so was hoping that'd sort it... it didn't
I'm glad the refresh all tabs helped!
I've added those exceptions Bartus so I'll report back! I have the refresh icons when storage card inserted already which doesn't seem to work. It is the apps located on the storage card that don't load though so it has do be something to do with that.
Go back to 4.0.1 it doesn't have the problem.
Hi Sirooga
I'll give that a try, if I still have it on my HDD!
Cheers!

Today Plugin Problems
I also use pocket plus on my Tilt, and it is apparently version 4.0.2 build 6227. What really annoys me is that the today plugin worked perfectly on wm 6.0, but after that &[email protected]#! 6.1 upgrade, it works fine for a few hours after I installed a lot of programs and soft resetted a bunch, until I backed up my phone. After using sprite Backup 5 ONCE, it deletes all my tabs and icons in the plugin and doesn't remember them no matter what I do. It still is checked in the today plugins menu, but it isn't there as there is nothing for it to show. SPB's got some serious work to do.

Today plug-ins shoud be installed to Main Memory.
Spb 4.01 works far better than 4.02 IMO.
Hi all,
I've googled a bit for this, but can't find a decent answer. What I'm looking for is a way to back up not just my contacts etc, but also settings, installed programs and the like, that will work across an OS upgrade to WM6.1
Basically I'm running an Orange WM6.0 ROM, and want to upgrade, but don't want to have to reinstall all my various programs, connection settings, SMSs etc etc.
Spb backup now claims that it works across ROM upgrades - does that stretch to OS upgrades? Any other way of doing it?
You need a program that will do a full system backup. I used to use Sprite and have recently switched to SPB and it really works wonders.
mmm... I looked in more detail and it looks like spb doesn't work when you upgrade the ROM... what it can actually do is a system restore. Any other ideas?
they're all really predicated on restoring things based on the same rom or saving you from a hard reset. nothing is going to plug back your installed programs, or else projects like the SASHIMI to sleuth's SDconfig would have no point.
there are programs like PIMbackup that will save contacts and the like, but nothing will bring force and upgraded rom to look and work exactly like a previously fully-installed-to-your-liking rom

Not true. It's not recommended but it doesn't mean that it can't be done. I just upgraded to another ROM and pulled a backup from a previous ROM and used the "ROM upgrade option" which worked great.
Fair point bravo; I was really wondering whether it was possible to (for example) save the connection settings to avoid me having to go through that palaver again. SMS's and outlook data are saved by most programs; and I can reinstall most other programs without too much difficulty.
Not to worry - thanks for the help
Hey guys my Device Storage memory is 88 mb and out of that free is just 15 mb.
I installed only
1) Slide to anwer dialer
2) S2U2
3) .Net Framework
on my device memory rest is all on internal storage.
I have come to know that opera uses around 8-10 mb of storage space. So i want to uninstall it.
But its not there in add and remove programs.
please let me know how to remove Opera.
Also let me know if any other software to be removed to free up the space. Like voice commander (this is also not there in add and remove programs)
Regards,
Vishal
Remove Opera?
If it doesn't show up in 'Remove Programs', it's installed in the ROM which means you can't remove it. The best thing to do if you want loads of storage is to install a 'lite' ROM. That way you can install only the apps you use
i have the original rom from the htc page! give it no solution to deinstall the opera browser, if is no opera browser entry in the program list to shown?
in the windows folder on the integrated storage not found an opera folder, also.
plz help me..
sorry for my bad english.. i hope every guys understand my problem..
you can't remove opera
opera is put in the core os which is placed in a
place where users can't access the storage
so even if one makes a rom without opera
it don't free up storage for users access
it's impossible to remove opera unless you cook your own rom from scratch
if you don't like opera don't use it
and
set the browser you like as std browser
then opera will not bother you as even if you could delete it
it would not give you more storage mem
hi folks
my current issue is slightly different
i've installed opera mini 5 which is great for my needs, however i have various RSS feeds going and if i click on links they will open in opera 4, not 5.
how do i therefore set opera mini 5 to be the default browser?
plus if anyone knows how to get rid of the annoying opera 5 prompt which asks me if i'm happy about the fact that i may be charged for accessing the web, then i'd be very pleased to know it.
thanks in advance from scrumpypaul

Well I only saw that once since I installed the version with all certificates... Try installing the all certificates version and you'll get rid of all the promts
which version did you install?
i downloaded directly to my diamond and saw nothing about certificates.
Hello!
So I am having some problems with my X1. It is laggy and it freezes pretty often. Sometimes I have to remove the battery many times in a day becouse of freezing. And writing with hardware keyboard isn't very nice anymore becouse the letter are coming to screen with delay and sometimes it skips over some letters. Then I have also had some weird problems sometimes that when someone calls to me and I try to answer the phone it just disconnects the call. And phone has freezed couple of times on its own without I've done anything with it. Once it didn't wake me up in the morning becouse it had freezed during night. So I really can't trust this machine at the moment.
I did hard reset couple of months ago becouse I had some similar problems before. Now it is not so bad but still annoying. I am considering buying new phone but I like this one and if there is way to make it work it would be nice.
So I am using Windows Mobile 6.1 original version and I haven' done any modifications. Just using mobile shell panel and couple other software. So I would like to get my phone stable and reliable again.
they sound like all the problems i've had with a custom rom! this never happened to me on 6.1 :S did you ever flash any custom roms before then go back to 6.1?

No I've never used custom rom. Although I bought this phone used little bit over year ago so I can't know for sure if previous owner had tried out some custom rom. But I still doubt it. This phone was just couple of months old when I bought it.
You have any ideas how to get rid of these problems?
Have you tried reflashing your rom using SEUS? Another advice I can give you is to install a decent task manager that shows all running processes. Maybe there is some kind of software running in the background that destabilizes your phone. Check Windows\StartUp to see if your phone loads any additional programs during the boot sequence.

Thanks for your input altae!
I haven't tried reflashing rom. I have no idea how it works. So if you could give me some kind of clear step by step instructions or link. And does it remove all the saved data in the phone?
And I checked Windows/Startup folder and there are four items in there.
Paneldefault
panelmanager
Panolauncher
RunGNAgent
I am using Panoramic launchpad so the Panolauncher belongs to that program. Panoramic launchpad is quite nice program but I think it is little bit buggy. Should I remove it? But I don't hve idea what are the other programs. I've used xperiatweak to change the startup panel to the mobile shell so I think "Paneldefault" and "panelmanager" could refer that perhaps?
edit:And btw here is list of programs I've installed.
Panoramic Launchpad
Spb Mobile shell
Spb Keyboard
Resco explorer
Clifford's XperiaTweak
Resco photoviewer pro
CoreCodec CorePlayer
Burrotech Scan2PDF
Aidem Pocket Painter
Spb TV
Viksoe.dk Flite
DS-Info DiamondTV
Adisasta wmTorrent v3
PPCLINK HiCalc
+All the original X1 programs
Paneldefault belongs to Xperia Tweak. It loads the default panel you have set. Panelmanager is what it's called, the panelmanager Panolauncher could indeed be a reason for your problems. Why don't you delete the entry in the startup folder. You can still launch it manually. I don't know RunGNAgent.
To reflash your rom got to SE website and download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Software) from the support section. It explains step by step how to update. Post the results and we will see how to proceed.
Do a hard-reset or flash to one of the custom ROMs. Is it just me or does these things happen inevitably? Seems like the case for me. I hard-reset once every few months.
