I'm having trouble deleting files in my XDAII. Everytime I delete a file I get stock to the waiting timer that goes on and on. In the long run , I get to soft reset my unit because this does'nt stop. After the reset the file is still there not deleted. I have a spb pocket plus program installed. Does this have to do with it.
Thanks
only with file explore or also with better filemanagers like total commander ?
even with file explorer and the menu using delete command. Do you know whats wrong?
what i asked was if you have tried other file managers then explore
because explore is really not that good and if your problem could be solved by using another manager then .......
I just had a similar situation this weekend. My SD card was full, and I downloaded email.
I could not get file manager to delete anything, though it would successfully copy to a new SD card I installed. Eventually, I tried deleting files from Album -- it worked!!!
You might try Word or the Notes program, too (though I haven't).
Go figure.
There's my $0.02
If you are trying to delete files from sd card, try removing the card then reinserting, the other thing is to make sure you close all running programs except the file explorer.
It happened to me too with the ROM 1.66, the only way was to remove the SD ant to insert it again...
After solme days it stopped to do it and now with the new 1.72 ROM it works flawlessy
:lol:
I have that problem when I use the default file explorer, but only when deleting files from the phone as opposed to the sd card.
In the end I decided to do all deleting from the phone memory through my PC as it works fine from there.

File explorer freezes every time I try to delete or copy/paste/cut a file. Any clue about that? Thanks.
hey mate,
this sometimes happens to me as well. i cut or copy a file; then paste it somewhere. the cursor is working but basically the unit hangs. when you do a soft reset you'll find that the file you wanted to be transferred or copied has already been pasted in the place you wanted. strange. and sorry but i have no idea what this bug is.
cheers

Hey Rob,
Someone gave me a solution to that strange problem: you have to eject any SD card, do a soft reset, introduce ur SD card back and file explorer works fine again. I've tried it and it works.
Regards
hey elio,
it does work; cheers for that one! also tried ejecting the sd-card, then trying out file explorer and it didn't hang. so is it possible that the sd card is actually slowing down the explorer app? interesting; must be one of those microsoft bugs again.
thanks!

I'm having problems using my file explorer. Once i used it either by deleting files or copying/cutting and pasting files from one folder to another, it always hangs. Although it does what its supposed to do, it hangs after doing its job and you have to stop it manually.
help anybody
If the files are on sd it may help to remove then reinsert sd card before deleting or moving files.
Same problem here...
I gave up and purchased Resco File Explorer. Works perfectly.
total commander is free and since i also use it on my pc and it's a clone of norton commander which i used back in the days before
windows95 i cant live without it
soft reset with the sd Card removed and file explorer will work correctly
cheers

I have installed TomTom 5 on my SD card, all working well.
I have one irritating problem however, whenever I remove and then reinstall my SD card, it automatically launches tomtom.
I've tried to stop the auto starting with the usual registry entries for START, etc, however nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know how to stop the SD card autolaunching this app?
The problem is caused by the folder 2577 on your Storage Card. IF you delete the Tomtom cabs from this folder it will stop happening. Alternatively you could rename the 2577 folder in case you need to install the software agin away from your computer.

Is there an app in the root of the SD card called start.exe? Also, when you insert an SD card it will automatically run stuff which is present in the "2577" directory if it exists. This is responsible for installing the app initially. Try renaming 2577 to something else and see if it still happens. If it does, try renaming the start app.
That's spooky findus... maybe we should get a room?! [j/k] :lol:

Brilliant, such speedy response, and a positive result. Thanks guys, this works! Has been bugging me for months. Cheers
the other day i added about 30 songs to my memory card in mp3 format and now all of the sudden, my windows media player wont lrecogize the card to add the songs to the library... ive tried restarting, soft resetting, putting it in and taking it out. nothing is working. any help?
I have the same issue on my TyTN...
really frustrating but I found a workaround: browse the storage and delete the hidden folder MSMETADATA, then try to update media player library.
You won't find such folder using the file explorer provided with WM5: you must use an enhanced file explorer such as Resco one in order to view hidden and system files.
This was a fixed inanother subject and it worked for me, as I had the same problem as you.[/quote]
I just came across the same tip but you can use the built-in file explorer - just set it to show all files and the folder will appear.
Cool, works for me, but what is at fault here? Before I learned of this trick, when i went to update library without deleting this folder it took the tytn an age to add files, in the meantime all free memory on my microsd was filled. The only way to reclaim this space was to back up everything i wanted to keep, format the card then copy everything back on.??
Workaround
I have been looking into this for about 3 weeks and I am now 95% sure it is because the storage card is full when WMPlayer tries to write its DRM / Metadata to the card. Deleting the MSMETADATA folder is only part of the fix because it frees up space but it will continue to fail. It is still a bug and HTC should fix it up but the workaround it is to leave some space on the card, i.e. don't fill it full of music. I am trialling WMplayer 11 Beta on the PC and it has an option to leave some space free when syncing. Seems to be working fine. For me, this 'feature' is one of the most frustrating things about the device so if you are suffering too then I hope this helps
i dont think it is a strorage issue because it happend to me i have a 1gb micrisd card i used up about 300 to 400mb and it did the same to me when i went to add the files to the lib it found the songs but wouldnt add them it only added the ones from the internal hdd i deled every thing off the card and put it back on i havent had a prob with is since but glad to know if it does happen againg i can just del that folder
this might even happen your card has some error.
it happened to me last time, when i bought first my hermes and tried to install the WM5Storage. Theres a huge incompatibility and my microSD developed some FAT errors causing read/write issues. Once i removed WM5Storage and freshly formatted (make sure you backup) the microSD, thinks ran smoothly.
just a bit of info for you dont know if its just mine but when i had that problem and i tryed adding files to the lib it took ages so i removed the sd card and put it back it and i got a this card is write protected message
so maybe the prob could be caused by removing the card while the phone it trying to accsess it
yer its just happened to my tytn again am going to take a more detailed look at the folder as deleting it does seem to work there must be away create a fix ill let you all know if i find any thing
@anyone:
My friend's HD2 starts loading, it shows the desktop then its just hourglass...
Stock 3.14 EU ROM.
I can easily hard reset, but he asked me to somehow save/recover his personal data (addresses, contacts, etc).
So I have not hard reset his phone just yet hoping that one of you guys can help me...
What can be done?
Thanks in advance!
If You have mortsript installed, I presume you can do various things with it together with having an autorun folder on sd card called 2577, like copy pim.vol file to sd card etc. Just an idea.
Addition - You can register .mscr files with the autorun trick and run Your .mscr to copy pim.vol to SD then. Basically that should be it, after hard reset You can just replace the pim.vol again. Haven't tested it tho, but in theory should work.
