Start menu shortcuts

I'm being extremely dim here. I'm attempting to copy a shortcut to the start menu folder, but when I paste it in in either PC windows explorer, Resco or mobile explorer either as paste or paste shortcut it disappears into the start menu/programs folder and doesn't appear in the start menu. Any idea?

/*scratch my head*/ did you try the menus option under settings to put the shortcut of the program/item you want to appear on start menu??

Yep tried that- not showing in the list but is under programs?!

that's weird because every program i have installed on my device shows up on the list.. hmm ... i'll have to play around with device when i get home.

It's a replacement handset running 6.1. TBH it seems a bit flaky- I didn't have to set up the screen etc when I unboxed it- booted straight to the today screen. I'm going to hard reset before I load more on. I'll let you know.

hard reset is a good choice if you want the phone restored to original condition when it first came out by manfacturer (assuming no rom or spl flashes). I'll post and see what i get when i get home as far as program popping in list for start menu.

Just completed the hard reset and reinstall. All is well and works as it should inc the start menu. I was suspicious when the new handset (delivered without the battery installed) booted straight to the today screen. This time I had to set up the stylus and go through the tutorial- the only time I was glad to see it!
Thanks for your suggestions thesire.

Quick Menu in top right corner has disappeared

The Quick Menu that is normally located in the top right hand corner of the screen has disappeared on my TyTNII. Tried a soft reset and that didn't help. Don't want to do a hard reset as it takes ages to reload all of the software and data. Does anyone have any ideas. Any suggestion is welcome?

when u click on the screen where should be the icon, does it load the menu?

Try running Quickmenu from the Programs folder. That should fix things.
Make sure that there is a Quickmenu shortcut in your Device>Windows>Startup directory. This will ensure it starts after soft resets.
It's is a good idea to invest in a good backup program like SPB Backup which I use or Sprite Backup. This ensures that you save all your PIM info, messaging, settings, shortcuts etc etc. If and when you do need to perform a hard reset, you just run the executable that the backup program creates, and voila, you're good to go.
I normally backup once every week to ten days.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the quick response. That may be my problem. It is not in my startup menu, but I also don't have a Quickmenu icon on my program window? Maybe it got deleted? How do I restore it?

When I tap in the top right corner where the icon used to be, nothing comes up. I think I must have deleted the program somehow?

I think you may have deleted it inadvertantly. Just restore it and make sure that there is a shortcut n your startup folder.
Here is the App and the two dll files to drop in your windows directory. It is an executable, no need to install. Just copy the executable anywhere on your device and create shortcut in startup folder.

Thanks - very much appreciated. Loaded and working. Great. Have a nice day!

Touchflo 3D Doesnt Start

well hi, im new here, i got an xda diamond touch, and my problem is that touchflow 3d doesnt start, i get always the windows mobile GUI, how can i start touchflo 3d ?

Sorry to ask the obvious, but you have enabled TF3D, haven´t you?
Start>Settings>Today>Plug-Ins>check TF3D is ticked (rough translation from German ROM).....

thanks for the quick respond, well when i enter today settings there is no touchflow 3d in the plugins only the windows stuff

Now that´s strange.....what ROM are you using? Standard HTC or some provider branded ROM? Thsoe ROMs usually contain the TF3D files - they are installed when you first boot up the device. It´s possible to supress that installation by doing a soft reset quickly after the initial display calibration screen....maybe that´s what happened?
If you haven´t done too much tweaking/installing you might try the old hard reset (you´ll loose all your settings/programs etc., that you have already installed). If you don´t want to do that, maybe someone else has got a better idea how to revive your TF3D.....

ok i have done a softreset yet, but didnt helped, now will try with a hardreset hmmm

yeah i have a O2 branded rom, how can i do a softreset ?

Have you had a look at the manual yet???
Soft reset: either press the red button in the stylus hole with the stylus, or long press the power key to shut down the device and then restart it - same effect.
Hard reset (reset back to how it was when you received the device): Push and hold "Volume Down" Key + "Enter" Key, push the reset button in the stylus hole while keeping the above buttons pressed, release the reset button and answer the onscreen questions.
When the device boots up after the hard reset you should be taken to the display calibration screen. After that the device will show you a quick countdown before installing additional apps (TF3D, phone skin, Opera, etc., depending on the ROM you are using). When installation is finished (do NOT interrupt it!), the Diamond will automatically soft reset. After that you really should have your TF3D installed and working.....

ok thanks but what should i do, restore manufacturer default or restore manufacturer default and format movinand?

The "format" option also formats your internal storage (your device´s hard disk, so to speak), so it´s really up to you......by formatting the internal storage you will of course loose all your files on that media (movies, pictures, whatever you´ve already put there) and have to copy it over again.....

wow seems its working, thank u so much michi really THANK U

You are welcome! Glad, I could help!

Click Start/Settings then select the Personal Tab and click Today. Click the Items Tab at the bottom then click on the box to check Touchflo3D then click OK. You may have to scroll down a bit in the items list to find touchflo3d but it should be there.

Tap start button 3 times - goes wrong

HTC Tytn II. If I tap the start button - after the third time the start menu appears but the menu is blank - need to turn phone off and on to start using again. Does anyone know how this can be fixed. Thanks

ANy chance you have the SPLCF Cube installed?

yes - I did but I don't think I uninstalled it properly

its not on my install programs list ( I had loaded it in once and tried to remove it)

You probably didn't...that is definitely causing your problem. This was found out awhile back.
Im not sure how to properly uninstall it as it probably is running somewhere you don't know about. If you can hard reset that will fix the problem .

Many thanks for identifying the problem - I will try the reset and hopefully this will get it back to normal. And thanks again for such a quick reply - hope it's nice and sunny where you are. I am in the UK and weather isn't brilliant. Thanks a million. Maddy
