Can't install Programs on Intenal Storage! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I had a problem with my phone and had to hard reset. Of course everything went back to the original settings, except my internal storage. It is there and I can put files on there but when install a program it does not give me the option to install in on it. When I use file explorer it just sees it as another folder.
Is there a way to change the settings and fix this?

Problem with installing navigation software - iGO MyWay 2006+ by using old settings

Today i just flashed my phone and put newer ROM,
so as i start now to install over again iGO MYWay 2006+ navigation software i would like to use previous settings with old POI's i had before.
Those settings and all files i saved on my SD card Storage card which wasn't deleted during ROM flashing off course.
So, now when i go again to install iGO he always automatically install it into My Device/Program Files where he puts in folder called 'iGO 2006' and inside is only one file called 'igo' and when i start application it opens normally softare but with defauld settings and can't force application to 'work' with settings i have on my Storage card!
Please help me with suggestions what to do?!
I tryed to copy those 'igo' file from 'my device' to 'storage device' where all those old settings are, but than won't even start navigation software
actully, what could maybe solve the problem is how to force kaiser to install iGO software on storage card, not on my device ?!
noone? please, i'm desperate
i did it! need to copy those files from computer (which i had copy before flashing), not from storage card (those files which need to be on device)
and now everything working well!

Hard reset question.

Okay, the problem is -- I recently installed a theme on my internal storage, and no matter what I do, it doesn't want to uninstall. I tried going to start-settings-syystem-remove programs, but it didn't work. I tried running the cab file and letting it uninstall but it didn't work. So, i think the only other option is a hard reset. But, i want to back up everything on my internal storage. However, if i backup everything then restore, the theme will still be 'installed' correct? All i want from this is the theme uninstalled. I have the cab files of my other programs so i could easily load them up after the hard reset. I do want to keep my pictures and videos etc. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
If you do a hard reset it will leave your internal storage intact, with no programs, or themes installed, you can then safely remove whatever folders/files it created on your internal storage when you installed it.
However you will need to reinstall each of you proggies as well that you need.
Maybe you could change the file extension, that could help if you want to delete the file.
I want to clear my internal storage with my hard reset, so if I save my backup file onto my internal storage, won't the backup file be deleted?
yes.....back things up on your pc if you are deleting both device and internal storage. PC backup is crucial anyway.
A hard reset won't clear your internal memory as well, you'll need to format that using the phone.
Well i want to format the internal storage so I have to go to start-settings-system-clear storage? But before that I probably should send everything to my PC so I can just send it to my phone after, correct?
Steps
1) send everything to your pc
2) after the transfer, begin to delete files from Internal using your PC
3) hard reset phone (will bring you back to manufactures specs with what ever rom you have)
Would i delete files from internal via my PC with ActiveSync? That doesn't seem to work for me half of the time.
To get the fastest response, when you connect the usb cable choose the Disk option, this will load the internal memory as a memory stick / flash drive in your My Computer, from there you can backup what you need and then format the drive. Putting it in Disk Mode is more or less same as ActiveSync but syncs direct with the internal memory chip so allows for faster file transfer
Steps one and two completed. Should I do a hard reset and press volume down instead of volume up? Or shouls i clear storage?
If you have backed up what you need, format the internal storage from either your PC or phone, then do the Hard Reset. Once done your back to square one, out of the box type with your phone.
I remember having a similar problem when I was trying to install a clock...
No matter how I tried to remove it, it just wouldnt remove completely. The name was no longer appearing in the "Remove Programs" list but there were still bits and pieces of the clock on my today screen...
Eventually, I just installed another clock over it and when I went to remove this new clock, it seems the uninstall process also removed the junk that was left over from my initial install... Everything was back to normal after that and I didnt need to do a hard-reset...
Maybe give that a go...
Did the clear storage, and walah the theme is gone. And opera now works. Thanks guys.
Glad you got it sorted mate, love how HTC make there devices so easy to manage, with some other phones if that had happened, you would be stuck.
Yet with the HTC I can flash ROM's as often as I like to try different ones, etc, almost change them as often as I reinstall my desktop and pc with all the beta testing I do. Nicely done HTC.

Wrong calculated space

Hi there,
i guess something is wrong with my internal storage.
So i did unlock my boot loader, installed SU and reinstalled the image due to the boot loader unlocking.
several issues i encountered now, along with not possible to connect to play store on wifi (had to delete hosts file).
The main issue i now have is that my android shows about 500MB free internal space, but im not able to install apps (installed about 30-40 apps and had to move them in several steps onto the sd card), cant save screenshots or export files from dropbox to sd card (maybe it cant be buffered in internal storage). But i can send pictures through whatsapp which get saved on internal, i have no issues.
also when i take pictures with camera, the files get saved to internal\DCIM but i cant view them with gallery as it requires a reboot of app due to missing temp space.
any ideas whats wrong with my phone?
edit: ok, guess i messed up completely. thought this was maybe a permission issue so i tried the "fix permission" option from twrp and now im stuck in bootloop (seems to be a common issue on lollipop).
as i saved my whatsapp data to my sd card via twrp file explorer, i would likely to do a fresh install of my os (stock rom). how do i get a clean install of that? because when the image reinstalled itself, the internal storage seems not to got wiped as there was a twrp folder on it and i had SU (or maybe i have no idea and this is normal), but i wonder where the issues with host, file permission, (also some whats app issues), aswell as a file i could not delete from internal root (which i copied myself onto it) with root explorer or connected via usb with windows explorer, had to go into twrp and delete it with its explorer.
You did do a factory recovery before flashing and wiped the cache/dalvik before and after flashing didn't you?

[Q] Any way to save internal contents of phone?

Is there a way to save the INTERNAL phone contents? Like where the OS itself and apk files are installed?
It's not as easy as plugging your phone in to a PC and dragging "internal memory" files over. Not everything is there.
There are hidden CORE FILES and I would like to know how to copy them over to my computer. Thanks!
might get an answer with phone model, firmware, root or not? just saying.
Maybe Titanium Backup? (obviously you need root)

XT890 Data loss? HELP!!!!! PLease!

I can't believe this.
The same crap happened to me on a second XT890. I'm lost for words.
here is what happened.:
Got a phonecall, when I wanted to pick it up the phone would turn off saying not enough power, at 30 % !!???
Ok, so no big deal I thought,...turned it back on, had the same person calling me, everything was fine. Then i noticed the stored mms images would not load inside the conversations. Si turned the phone off and on again, mms images are loading again.
Got another phone call and my personal ringtone, gone, no longer there. Couldn't even switch it back even though the file, supposedly was there. Then I tried to play the file, google play music would not.
Next, all my images are gone, no longer folders of the camera and images and videos. Using quickoffice , that app says, no files on the internal sd card! WTF!?
Turning the phone off an on again, let me see the files on the card again, even let me play an audio file, going in and out of the folder, the files disappeared again.
So long story short. Everything seems to work except my files are gone and quickoffice and fileviewers won't find the files. When i put in an external sd card that works fine on other devices, it won't load the files, images, videos, only maybe 3 of 100!? What the hell.
This is the second time on a different phone but same model this has happened.
I can't afford to loose the images and recordings. are they gone? what has happened? I ran DR Fone recovery, and even that won't find the images i need,
Phone is rooted. And it's driving me nuts. Battery was replaced 6 months ago, everything was fine. Now that.
Please help, need my files, desperately.
What could have caused this? ? What is not working properly? Indexing? Gallery? Quickoffice?
Could be a corruption in the data
" corruption on your internal memory
" corruption on the system partition or dalvik
See if adb can find the files on your internal sdcard. With the command: adb shell ls /storage/sdcard0/[path to video/photo]
Thanks will try.!
In the meantime Root Browser shows the sd card as empty, and last time changed as 8/5/12 which was the build date of the phone.... :-/
Funky, When hooking up for adb and running a command the files and sd card became visible. So while visible I was able to safe all the files to external card. When restarting the phone the internal sd and files disappeared again. I cleared cache and dalvik and media storage, no effect. files remain hidden. Running sd maid it says system files are hidden. using es file explorer running showing hidden files i get a no permission response. same for sd card, says no permission. so something is blocking me. virus? i don't really use wlan or internet, wondering how to get everything working again. files and everything is there, but i have no access.
Still looks like a corruption somewhere. I should just safe all files that u need, backup data and do a full system restore and start over. With full I mean also a internal memory wipe.
Maybe there is a much better option, but I don't know any atm.
Still fiddling with it. Thought I just do a factory reset. Well didn't work.
Somehow before I did the reset the media store app was moved to sd card and a different apk was placed in system / app folder.
After the restart you guessed it, all data was gone as expected. Gallery and ringtones and video, and so on won't show. The media storage apk is in system/app folder, but it won't show under settings/apps/all.....
Not being an expert I think I messed this up by switching out the apks,.../
The one now in the system folder is: version 4.04-1351904261 but I need version 4.04-1344118159
Who can tell me where i can find one?
