File explore crash

File explore dies whenever i try to delete a file, it does delete it (or the first one if im deleting many) but then it freezes, i get the spinning circle thing and thats it.. even if i leave it for aages. Ive tried ending it in task manager but it refuses to shutdown.. only way to fix it is to soft reset.. so when ive got a few files to remove its very irritating :evil: anybody got any ideas how to fix it?
Running the latest o2 rom

try installing resco file explorer. Its much better.

I do know what is your problem. You have an SD card inserted! When softresetting WITH SD Card, the problem is as you described, but WITHOUT, you have no problems and it works smooth!
Don't know the exact fix for the SD Card, but what I described works and just helps you!

Yep thats fixed it.. thanks
I thought even basic testing would have shown up this bug..boo @ m$

Problem with File Explorer

This has happened to me several times.
I am unable to delete files properly on file explorer. When i try to delete a file, the wait icon (rotating colors) shows up. Then it never goes away!
When i force the program to close and turn it back on again, the file's gone so i know something's happening.
I tried waiting for the wait icon to go away but it never does. I left my XDA alone for 3 hours and it was still rotating.
Anyone have the same experience?
Programs installed on my device are:
SPB Pocket Plus 2.2
PHM Reg Editor
Microsoft Voice Command 1.1
NoviiRemote
Help!!!
~ishtangli

try using total commander insted it dont have those issues

Has it ever happened to you as well? Ran perfectly a couple of days ago...

Mine tends to be fine when I first rebuild it (and touch wood, some 5 weeks after it's still ok) but I definitely know what you mean. The file does eventually delete, but things such as deleting folders on either the phone or storage card usually involve closing File Explorer, opening and opening again before they disappear.

Yep,
I had that problem
Had to do a soft reset and all was fine, never had it again

Yes! I had that problem loads.
What Rom are you using?
I dont have any of the software you listed, and my problems didnt match the installation of any new software on my device either so I think its a rom problem not software.
I had 1.66 and no problem, then when I upgraded to a hacked 1.72 rom it happened all the time. I found you could delete files via the pc on usb, but not from pocket file explorer.
Reseting the device wouldnt make the problem go away, but a hard reset did.
After a few weeks it was back though.
Ive just gone up to the latest official o2 rom, ill let you know if it happens again.

I've recently started getting this problem on 1.60... It's been fine ever since 1.60 came out until a few weeks ago...
If I delete a file, close explorer and then go into memory and stop explorer (which then says it isn't responding), i can restart explorer and the file will be gone....
Another thing i noticed is that if i copy a new file onto my device using ActiveSync and have explorer running, it doesn't update to show the new file until i stop it and restart it!!

GSFinder+
Use GSFinder+ instead of File Explorer. Its a freeware utility. You can download it from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/gsfinder.shtml .
It copies/deletes files quite quickly.

ive got the problem, do a soft reset WITHOUT any sd card in..works fine then

pls help !!! strange problem

everytime i delete a file from my sd card it reappears after a soft reset !!!!
i m really bugged with this issue !!!
could ne 1 pls help me
thanks

What file in particular is it?
Some programs need certain data files and if they are not present then it will recreate them.
Also, do you have any programs installed that give a kind of "Recycle Bin" functionality?

It happens with all files ie: from a text file to an exe...don't have ne apps installed on the device..also did a hard reset twice but no use
another problem that i discovered was that the programes that r installed on the sd card donot function after a soft rest...
pls help
thanks

App folders not going away.

I uninstalled Office from my phone with WM6 but the folder is still in the Program list.How do I get rid of it? ?And there is two calanders, I haven't installed anything yea, anyone know how to get rid of them?

clear temp
use clear temp application
hopefuly it will help u
it clears bad or unused registry entries

Didn't work , I still have the Office folder and the two calander programs.

You know of a WM6 ROM that has ONLY the WM6 stuff nothing at all extra?

reset!!
have u done soft reset after clear temp?

No, how do I do that?

reset
re-start ur device Buddy!

Soft resetted it but they are all still there. Will hard resetting it bring it back to the way it was when the ROM was installed?

definetly!

Any other ideas then? Or could you point me towards a really stripped down version of WM6 or one that works real good?

but remember to remove storage card n backup ur contacts etc. before hard reset!

I only installed the ROM tonight so I have nothing on there so no need to backup.

I have the same problem with xplodes 6.13.00 ROM, its worked perfectly for around 3 weeks now. Its brilliant work.Although i have more than one icon in my programs list. e.g two file explorers, two camera's

try using 3trd party software for clean, i'm using SKTools its remove duplicate shortcut, empty folder etc.

auto scroll

anybody wants to share with me about "Touchflo" registry??
U know that our screen can scroll down/up automatically, but I've got something wrong when I edited some registry, my screen can't scroll up/down automatically . . .
thanks before . . .

anybody can help me???

The best way is to hard reset.
Its too time consuming to get one registry into another.

Well, let me tell you a tip to save all your softwares and games, always keep the .cab files in your storage card.
So after you hard reset, just install back your favourite apps.
Or another method which is way longer is, install all your favourite apps in your storage card than keep a copy of the bookmarks and when you hard resetted it, copy back all the icons back to the windows directory.
This other method is confusing, but you can ask me about guide if you want.
