To make a long story short:
-I have installed skype on main memory
-I decided to uninstall skype and re-install it on SD, and I did it
-Now, everytime I turn on my JasJar (but not after a Soft Reset) I get an error message saing the application Skype with folder Programs, etc... could not be found...
How can I remove this annoing message?
Thanks,
Chris
See if their is a shortcut in the Windows/startup folder. That's where they always use to put those links. Odd thing is that after I uninstalled Skype, I never received that message. I have the folder on my device, but it doesn't look like it has as many links as WM2k3SE had in it.
I'm familiar with that folder, but unfortunatly it's not there... there is only one file named Outook...
I had this problem too
Then I just did a hards reset and now it's gone, but Skype Crashes. What software have you all installed, maybe there is a conflict?
I have:
Voice Command
SPB3 (installed after skype failed, thought this might be it)
Total Commander
TT5.1
active sync is the culprit for skype
It took a while to work out, but here it is: Skype works fine as long ActiveSync is not on. In the old machines, AS would kick in and appear in the memory only after you sync'd. Here it comes up automatically, whether you sync or not. In fact, you should see Active sync running in the background virtually always.
Clicking on the memory you'll see its always on, you press stop, and Skype works for 5-10 minutes, until AS turns tiself back on.
Any fixes for this in the registry?

i get this warning every now and then, like today when i synched my phone it popped up, it says "cannot execute file: \windows\pocketnotify.exe" i looked in the windows folder and i cant find pocketnotify.exe, should i reformat or is this from an app i installed?
I bleave it is installed with spb GPRS monitor and it keeps popup when you do a softreset or sometimes try to sync.
If you have spb GPRS monitor uninstall it and it wont show up again.
If you get a tool which can edit the Notifications database (like Pocket Mechanic) you might be able to delete the appropriate entry. It sounds like a System event notification, possibly an AppRunAtRS232Detect one.
i used to have pocket mechanic installed but my device gets buggy when i install more then 3 apps.
also never had spb gprs monitor, but i have spb pocket plus installed. would that be the problem? i think i'm just gonna do a hard reset.
I used memaid and just deleted it from the startup.
Hi,
Hope someone can help me here - my O2 XDA Exec has been steadily getting slower and slower of late - been months since I installed anything new - takes several minutes to boot up...
Anyway decided to have a clear-out so deleted loads of messages, cleared out temp files, duplicate notifications etc. with Pocket Mechanic... then rebooted to see if my clean-up had helped.
It didn't - All the duplicate notifications came back - and so did all the text and MMS messages! I've tried 3 times now - even deleting everything in the deleted items folder - reboot and bang they're back again! What on earth is going on, and more importantly what can I do to sort it???
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried to delete them through active sync? when you explore your PDA? try that... just go to de folders you want and delete the files, like the files in the folder "Temp".
If you can not delete them... check the attributes of the file if they are read only.... otherwise you have the last resort to flash the same ROM or new ROM that you can find on this forum.
Have you check at settings/system/memory and see if you have enough free memory... have you tried at tab "running programs" and try to stop all... see if the pda gets noticable faster??
I can't try activesync until I get home from work...
According to the Memory utility I have:
9.28MB of free Storage Memory
24.07MB of free Program Memory
(I have 1.5GB free on my SD card but that's not really relevant)
There are no running programs listed in task manager.
What I don't understand is when I delete the messages - they vanish, same for the notification queue, so long as I don't reboot they're gone. Something during boot-up seems to be copying them back???
Try these... take your SD card out of your PDA... then delete the files you want... boot up without the SD Card and see if they are back.
Thought you might be on to something there... but nooooooooooooo :-(
Removed card, deleted, checked everything was deleted, rebooted (still without the SD card) and everything is back again! Bloody weird!
Cheers,
Steve
Okay.. hmmm.... which file explorer do you use? resco, standard file explorer of WM5.0 or total commander???
if you use other than the standard file explorer of WM5.0 try using that one... i have a feeling that you tried that one already...
For that last test without the SD card I was just deleting Text/MMS messages using the standard mail viewer software. Highlighting all messages, deleting them then emptying the Deleted Items folder...

How about the option in Text messages to clear all text messages? (Dont think it actually empties the deleted folder though - thats a manual process)
Remember reading that after creating a new email account, if the universal is soft reset within 5 minutes, then the account will not be saved. Perhaps the reverse is true in that you have to wait 5 minutes after deleting before resetting.

Give that man a cigar!
Deleted - waited 10 minutes (to be extra safe) and rebooted. Messages remained deleted. What an annoying "feature" - must have always been like that but I've never rebooted soon enough to notice!
Now to see if the same applies to the notification queue :?: EDIT: Yes it does!
Thanks,
Steve
Yeah there is an entry in the notifications queue, repllog or something like that, that fires every 5 minutes. Its purpose seems to be to write changes that you've made from cache RAM to the built-in flash storage memory, the idea is that it extends the life of the flash memory and probably the battery too.
So if you make changes to things like outlook and the notifications queue and then soft reset without waiting at least 5 minutes, then you will lose those changes. Really the OS should be saving those changes whenever you request a soft reset, a minor bug perhaps, but one that should be easy to solve with a third party app...
I am trying to run a program (update weather and RSS) whenever activesync connects. When I use Memmaid or TaskManager to create a notification to run the program when an RS232 connection established (AppRunAtRS232Detect), nothing happens. If instead I set it to run when synchronization completed (AppRunAfterSync), it does run, but too often, because syncs occur every few minutes and the program runs after every sync connected.
(My workaround is to ask for permission to run, but I would be happier to do it automatically.)
Does anyone know how to create a notification that runs whenever activesync is connected, and only then?

Have you tried with "RNDIS interface instantiated", because this works with TaskManager, and that's what spbweather does.
Cheers,
.Fred
Thanks
I hadn't tried that. I verified that taskmgr RNDIS interface notifications work with .exe files, but I am trying to run an skschema program, with extension .sksc. Taskmgr won't take one of these directly, so my procedure was to create a notification using memmaid to run the .sksc file, and then edit it with taskmgr so that it runs when RNDIS interface instantiated. That didn't work, so I tried creating a notification to a .exe file, then editing that (have to switch to event mode, then back to application). So far, no luck.
This seems like a bug in taskmgr, that it will only run a .exe file, but then, it is freeware and a fine program, so I'm not complaining.
Can I edit a notification in the registry? I could set one with taskmgr to an exe. file, then go edit it with total commander to run the .sksc file instead, if I knew where notifications lived.
Memmaid
Here is what memmaid support says:
We can't figure out what is causing this notification not to fire up, according to Microsoft's documentation this should be ok. But looks like there maybe a bug in the OS that doesn't make it fire up.
DinarSoft Support
I'm at a loss; it seems like it ought to be simple enough to run a program when activesync connects, but so far, all I can run are .exe's using Taskmgr; Taskmgr won't fire up a .lnk or .sksc even when I get the setting correct by editing. Can anyone point me to the location of notifications? I tried searching the registry for notifications unsuccessfully.
On my TouchHD, when I connect to my PC via ActiveSync, whether as a guest or doing a full sync, I find that my alarms are blocked - Tmail.exe can't open, Repllog can't open, alarms I know are there won't go. (They'll go on the desktop though.)
Often, the problem extends to all executables. The message is:
"Cannot open 'X'. A critical component is eaither missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable. Tap Start > Settings > System Tab > Task Manager, stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again."
or occasionally:
"Error starting 'X'" or "cannot execute X.exe"
When I disconnect, all access is immediately restored, no reset necessary.
Also interesting is the fact that some things running under Manila - the stock pages, say, or weather or even mail (!) - open up fine. Phone likewise, and related functions like the favourites page and the Contacts application behind it, are fine. However Opera and HTC album don't open, nor does the camera, or sound settings Advanced page.
This wasn't always the case; it's only started up in the past week or so. Which implies it was something I put on. Now, I'm one of those tweaking junkies that makes half a dozen changes a day, but I seem to recall playing around with Background4AllTabs, adding an analog clock to the home page, putting on and taking off MobileMagic, trying G-Alarm and settling on Klaxon instead, and various and sundry other wee bits. If any of this rings a bell with any of you I'd be grateful for ideas, theories, dirty jokes, whatever.
Many thanks.
having same issue. anyone have a solution to this?
Hi,
Need some help. Computer does not detect the phone anymore when connected. When i tried to launch activesync on the phone itself, It will start and shutdown immediately.
This is the second time it happened... First time, called up the service centre they told me the only option is to do a hard reset. Which I did... I really dun wish to do that again.
Anyone encountered the same problem?
I had the same problem, after some searching I discovered that if you open up the active sync on your HD2 (tools folder), click on menu, then on option, at this point you have a list of all the items you can sync with your windows outlook. As odd as this seems unclick the "task" and/or "notes", reset your HD2 and try to sync. That was the problem with mine and hopefully it's the same with yours. Hand it over to M$ for yet another glitch in there OS.
Hope it works out.
nope.. i can't even launch activesync from my phone...
Well that is beyond my knowledge a this point, if you can't even access the activesync prompt from the phone even when it's not plugged in, then I think you might have bigger problem than just a glitch. May I suggest flashing the phone... only other option I can think of besides a hard reset; which you say you've already done. Have you tried using a different pc?
Had same problem, had to disable fast usb on phone!!
just try a soft reset? has happened a couple of times to me and the soft reset fixed it.
Mike
soft reset doesnt help... its not with the " enable faster data sync " also.. other computers does not activate active sync too..
Seems like the activesync software on the phone is busted... it will start halfway and terminate itself before the program is fully loaded.
I have the same problem. I had to change outlook profiles on my computer (different issue) and when I tried to sync them, error. So deleted the PC set up on both PCs, and active sync would hang. So tried to remove the PIM file (rename it actually) and now AS will flash briefly and disappear, won't start. Woudl LOVE if someone had an answer...
try creating a new windows account with administrator access that's what do it for me
OK, figured this out, and now that I did I remember going through something previously with my TYTN II just like this. If you need to (bad program exit, Outlook locked, etc) reboot your PC. Also soft reset your phone. Use some file explorer to go to your root directory and rename PIM.VOL to something else. DONT RESET, Pim will reconstitute somehow...
Delete your autosync profile on your PC.
Connect the USB
You will have to go through all the stuff of a new sync, but at least it gets things reconnected. And it beats a hard reset.
PS, as other mentioned, notes can be problematic, best if you can delete all pwi files in your phone\my docs and resync. If some HAVE to be kept, move them elsewhere and sync, then move them back.
