Is there anybody knows how to uninstall PhonePlus! v3.04 SE. The Phone Dialpad skin cannot be uninstall by every method including Remove/Re-install, Patch Registry etc... Seems like this software has a secret connection to the phone dialing Green button that other programs cannot alternate it. :twisted:

I ever used that program but don't like it and i uninstalled it. Here how to uninstall it:
1. Open the program go to setting.
2. (A bit forgot) but just looking for optiion about hardware botton assign.
3. Set to don't assign button
4. Soft resset
5. Uninstall the phone plus
Good Luck
Yep, I guess that should do the trick.
but if the trial period had ended and you cant go to the option screen, you can delete "ppcap" fuke from /windows/startup folder, reset the device, and then uninstall.
great software by the way.
Both,
Thanks for the help. I finally can uninstall it and the tricks was the ppcap shortcut in the windows\startup directory that the uninstall program did not get rid of by itself. :lol:

Thanks for the hint, but in the autostart directory, there is no file called o2ActiveUI.exe or Connections.exe.

Volkan
but there is a link called Active ;-)
that's it...

Deleting the link will not delete the program but will stop it loading when you reset your device.
Depending on how you use your device it may be better to keep it installed but not running. I occasionally find I have to run it to reestablish my settings for WAP and GPRS when they give me grief.
To remove the program completely, you would have to hard reset, stop the auto-setup from running, install extended_rom cab and then open the config.txt file from the extended rom. Then one, by one chose the programs you want to install but avoid the o2 active one.
Cheers
I just clicked remove programs on mine and it worked no problem. Certainly didn't require a hard reset. A friend of mine had a problem with the program saying that certain files were in use. He renamed the files that were supposed to be in use, soft reset, then remove, then delete the renamed files.
Hope that helps.
Rgds,

isnt it a today plugin? if so maybe it's just a matter of disabling it then uninstalling.
if not then i'd go with the startup folder and take out the lnk or whatever that makes it run on a soft reset . . . THEN uninstall.
I dont think you have to resort to a hard reset just yet since the issue is simply not being able to delete a locked (running) file, so if you figure the way to NOT make it run, then uninstalling should be easy.
I am unable to uninstall programs from my jasjar. When I try to remove programs from activesyn there is no response. When I try to remove programs directly from jasjar with "remove programs" I get the response that the program was not removed and would I like to remove the name of the program from the list of installed programs. Either way my programs cannot be removed. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks
Softreset first then uninstall... Some times you can not uninstall two apps after each other. You have to softreset before each removal...
I tried your suggestions several times but it does not work for me. Any other thoughts?
Thanks
WM5 doesn't flush the registry until the device is powered off. You should either use a software based reset button - such as from SPB PocketPlus, or turn the device off (this is better), wait 10 seconds and then press the reset button.
Still no luck
I tried resetting after leaving the jasjar shut for more than 10 seconds and still I have no luck removing programs either directly or via activesync. I would still appreciate any suggestions otherwise it looks like a hard reset is unavoidable.
Thanks, a
Other way to remove programs?
Is it possible to effectively remove programs by using resco explorer? And if so, how can you ensure a clean remove?
A.
I have the same problem, I always have to remove manually. I can not install overwrite any software, and when I want to upgrade a new version, I have to find its old cab files to see the list of files to find them and delete. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Still no solution to removing programs
I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to our problem of not being able to remove programs.
Also, as we cannot remove programs via activesync or the standard remove programs from the pocket pc (Jasjar), what are the steps to thoroughly remove files manually?
Thanks
@apap
I found some beta WM5 apps cannot be removed even using Remove apps from the control panel or even the "delete" function from the File explorer! In the end I had to hard reset my JJ to get rid off two apps. I have also been told to use the Resco Explorer to delete programs from the directory directly.
Thanks. When you delete with Resco is it enough to remove folder with application or should you also clear things from registry?
hey guys. i seem to be havin a wierd problem. when ever i try to uninstall a program from my exec i get a msg that it could not be completely removed. i tried to uninstall the o2 active interface and a pocket divx player and both gave the same prob. any suggestions on wat i might be doin wrong? also can u suggest sme place i can get good games for my exec
cheers
i have had this problem, nothing I could do about it, exept to manually delete the stuff, but obviously registry is still a problem.
also, it appears if you restore from a backup, then the remove programs doesnt work, something to do with the installed apps in windows directory and the registries
sorry, no help, only confirmation and acknowledgement of the problem....
Worth looking into SKTools....It properly uninstalls things where the installer fails...I have found it invaluable when trying out software that is 'not quite' WM5 compatible!
This generally works for me:
- Uninstall program.
- If it complains about being unable to uninstall, click "No" when you're asked if you want to remove from Remove Programs list.
- Now do a soft reset with a utility such as Tweaks2k2
- When pda is ready to be used, try to run Uninstall Program again.
This should work for all but the most tenacious of programs. If this still doesn't work, check if the program has a stub running in the Windows\Startup folder. Remove it, and then try the above again.
Things that work for me.
1) Do not have a shortcut on the today screen to a program you wish to un-install, remove it first from here and the Start (menu). Make sure that part of it is not started automatically in /Windows/StartUp folder, if it is delete it.
2) Do a soft reset.
3) Do not go to Start (menu) | Programs. (Do not display it's icon in anyway. See step 1 above.
4) Go at once to Start (menu) | Settings | System | Remove Programs and un-install it.
This generally works for me. Hope it helps.
i agree with dah54 and snorbaard. That usually works for me almost everytime. If it doesn't check running processes and stop the one you are trying to uninstall and then follow their instructions and if all else fails, use SKTools or something similar.
Hello
Yesterday i tried to remove a program on my Qtek9000. But in the add/remove program, where
all installed programs are listed, was nothing! It was empty!
Then I tried to connect to the Computer but without success! An error Message appeared, "Can't
synchronize, please reconnect an try again!"
I can't even install a new program!
Please help me!

Turn OFF your firewalls then connect your Universal via USB again.
hmm, Doesn't work.
Any other ideas?
I am having similar problems. I have a list of installed programs in the uninstall list. However, whenever I install new softwares, they are not shown in the uninstall list, thus I cannot uninstall any new softwares. Anyone knows what happens?

...your not using phoneAlarm are you?
This is a documented issue with a previous version and is fixed in the latest release.
Matt
Yes PhoneAlarm is an issue and does prevent installed programs to show up in the list of installed programs. If you cannot live without PhoneAlarm (Like Myself) then you have two options:
You can install SKTools. The uninstallation utility in SKTools will still show the list of installed programs even if it is not shown in the generic Windows utility.
The other option involves changing the registry. You will need a registry editor like Resco. The procedure is as follows:
1) go to..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall\
2) Select the application directory that is not showing up in the list
3) change the DWORD Role data from 40 to 24
4) Now the application will show up in the list.
Hope this works for you
Regards
srmz you are great !!!! It works and I can uninstall programs now.
I have never installed PhoneAlarm, and I forget starting from when this problem appears.
Also thanks matt1971 for rasing the possible reason leading to the problem. You guys are great !!
I now have the same problem - I can't install programs (get a message saying installation was unsuccseful), and when I try to remove programs there are none at all in the list.
All I've done today is install sbp Weather.
All programs work fine, but I also can't change Today Theme - it seems to be stuck on default.
Anyone able to help?
Cheers
Rowan
yes I have the exact same issue...this post is about not being able to sync, install, or uninstall anything....while srmz's post was informational, it didn't help those of us who has this problem...
please can anyone help? I really don't want to have to hard-reset my phone
Thanks

U shld try M$ As 4.5 version sometimes it happens dat ur device doesn't show u the complete list of prog. installed but with Async it will show u ,from which u can uninstall the prog u want to.
Hi,
I installed the program DciNobar to "play around" with tweaking my K-Jam. I wanted to bring them back so I tried to uninstall the program from Add/Remove programs and it gave an error and asked me if I wanted to remove it from the list which I selected yes to.
I have since installed SoftKeyAppletEX which has given me the option to reset everything to default or remap the keys manually which I have done yet they still do not show on my screen.
I'm thinking that the DciNobar is still starting up, but don't know where to find the key in the regsitry to remove it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Ari
Not to worry found the solution. Removed dcinobar from the windows startup directory
