Software Compatibility - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

I am thinking about doing a hard reset because I noticed that Spb diary, weather and pocket plus cause my BT icon to disappear whenever I have all 3 installed and do a soft reset. I also keep getting an error message with my bejeweled 2 game. It keeps saying the game cannot be saved. I have the super Jam w/128 megs and did the bigstorage hack. Does anyone else have these problems-and do you think a hard reset will correct these issues?

It depends on you actually. A full reinstallation will help trim the FAT off RAM now that you know what apps you really want on your device. The other thing, you can always uninstall the ones you dont need.

I hate this phone!

Your best bet at this point is to do a hard reset, wipe everything, and then reinstall NOTHING for a day and see how the phone works. Not 15 minutes or an hour, a day. If it seems ok, try overclocking again if you really think you need it. Again, install NOTHING else and let it go for a day and see if overclocking kills it. If not, start installing software, one by one, and see how the phone reacts to each. Don't install a dozen and play with them, install one at a time, check it out, do stuff with it, see how everything reacts before installing the next one. And finally, the today screen crap sucks up tons of memory and CPU time and leaks like a sieve. Get rid of it.
Sounds like some pretty good advice. Having all of those programs installed will surely create some type of conflicts within the OS.
when I first got my K-Jam, I installed all the plugins and apps I had on my last PPC. I found within a day or so my K-Jam would simply reboot itself whether I was touching it or not. And it did it a LOT!
I did a hard reset and ran it that way for a couple days and it was an amazing phone. I then only installed a couple apps at a time. I eventually found it was a today plugin that was causing my problems.
I haven't had a single problem since then. I'm betting it's one of the *MANY* apps you have installed.

I agree with markgamber, to do a hard reset and run it clean for a while. Rather than blame the phone, perhaps the issues lie with the storage card.
Also, some apps don't like to run from the storage card, as I had a similar same problem with PocketMusic installed on the card. It was flakey, getting worse by the day, and after a hard-reset and reinstall this time on the device it runs fine (so far).
I just installed iGuidance v3 but put the app on the device with maps on the card. It runs fine so far.
After verifying the phone is working okay without third-party software, install iGuidance on the device (maps on card, of course) and give it a try. If you still have trouble, try replacing the card.
[Duplicated message. Wish you could delete messages!]
if you on 02 get rid of the o2 active rubbish itll run a lot better
Oh yeah....one last thing since I see you're running 2.17....get rid of that tweaks rubbish. I run 2.17 and it works great just as it is. All you're going to do by "tweaking" it is destablize it for what probably amounts to an imperceptable performance gain. I'd also recommend dumping the overclock bit, too. If you get rid of all that today screen junk, you will probably find that real apps run just fine without having to resort to tricks like overclocking.

SPB PocketPlus not closing programs

One of the main features of PocketPlus that I use is the close button modification - so it closes programs as opposed to minimising them. However, it seems that it has stopped doing that.
I can't pinpoint anything that I've done to make this happen, I haven't installed any new software or changed any settings...
Can anyone think how I can fix this? It says it is set to 'close' rather than minimise in the options. All the ROMs and whatever on my Exec are default.
I'm using 3.04.

Reinstall
Should solve the problem (easiest way)
Okay, I've tried reinstalling BUT...
Before I uninstall, there is about 4MB of storage left. This doesn't increase when I uninstall, and when I reinstall it gives me the message about storage being critically low...
Also, when I look in memory in settings, it shows the storage memory as 7.4MB. However, when I go to install pocketplus it shows the memory available as 3.9MB.
Softreset before you uninstall then
It does that automatically, it says that I have to soft reset to complete the uninstallation. I have also done it manually.
I've removed something else now and in the memory settings pane and the remove programs pane it shows 8MB free, but when I go to install it it says 4.5MB free... Why could this be?
Reinstalling doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. It still isn't closing the programs.
Does anyone know of an alternate way to make the close button actually close things instead of minimising?
Got your same problem. Went even through a hard reset on my qtek 9000 and had it re-installed. Works for a couple of times than this function stops to work....Who knows why
I thus decided to go that way
-magic button (excellent freeware) it gives you many possibilities to manage apps closing or minimizing
-spb diary
-resco launcher (very essential launcher but n°1 memory saver
If resco launcher doesn't suit you keep magic button and go to illauncher
After you have played with complex and very aesthetical apps..you come back to efficiency.....
have fun

Magic button seems to be doing the trick now, thanks for the recommendation
I've installed this program on my Vario, but when uninstalling it it doesn't come off. Furthermore, my Vario isn't starting back up after it soft-resets itself to complete the uninstall. I tried just about everything, nothing will work!
Any suggestions??

Stuck at Windows Splash Screen

Everytime I turn my xda on it won't get past the Windows Mobile splash screen.
Everything was fine until I installed a copy of Netfront that I had aquired (yes, I know it's my own fault for using cracked/copied software). Anyway the install went OK, it said I needed to restart, so I did, but now it doesn't get past the splash screen.
I'm thinking that if I can access the files stored on the xda then I might be able to remove enough of the traces of Netfront that it'll at least startup properly.
Is there anyway that I can access the files stored on my xda without needing to start up windows?
Finally someone with the same problem that me. Try tap the screen continuosly (every 4 seconds) when the splash screen appears then the system will boot up. let me know if works because we have to find the cause of that.
wow it worked cheers
Uninstalled Netfront and everything's back to normal
But the problem persists, it's nothing to do with Netfront. I believe you have a lot of app's installed, is it true ? I have Phonealarm, SBSH iLauncer, SBSH Pocketweather, Alarmtoday and Inesoft Address Book as today plugins. And you ?
I've got a fair few app's installed but no today plugins.
All I know is I installed Netfront and everything screwed up, I uninstall it and everything's back to normal so I'm happy.
Perhaps you should try uninstalling app's/plugins one by one and do a soft reset each time. At least you may be able to narrow it down to a problem with one particular app.
Done it ... Trust me you'l have the same problem when you'll install another application (not only with netfront). The question is why ?
Damn, you're right
Just installed Minimo, did a soft reset and it's back to sqaure one
How much Storage/Program memory left do you have ? I have 19MB/17MB
Storage 13MB
Program 23MB
Do you use smartskey/omapclock tweak ? i use omapclock with 264MHz
Nobody else has this issue ?
Don't use any of those
Everything's pretty much standard apart from registry wizard and a few app's installed
ok guys i have this same exact problem but the thing is it happend for no reason
one day i just turned on my phone and it was doing it it only starts after hours of messing with it i dont know why i havent installed or changed anything

problem with installing programs/removing progams...PLEASE help :(

I've been trying to install cabs lately, and it says for most of the "installation was unsuccessful", and it deletes the cab files after that...
so i was wondering what the heck was going wrong, so i went onto settings and clicked "remove programs", and when i clicked that, there was nothing on the list of programs to remove!!! even though i have googlemaps, SPB mobile shell, and a few other things installed, it does NOT show on the list of installed programs, thus, i cannot remove anything, OR install any cabs
anybody know what i can do to remedy this situation....? there are several important aps i HAVE to install, and i was wondering what i could do to install these programs....should i take the non-cab route, and install it from my computer, with the Wing hooked up to it...? or any other solution?
any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Well, not really sure what's going on with that, but what rom are you running? Personally, whenever you have funky issues with the o.s., it's almost always best to do a hard reset.
There may be a good chance you have no space on your internal storage thus renders the installation unsuccessful.
Go to settings->system->memory to check the available storage.
If you do not wish a cab to be deleted after installation, change the property of that file to "read-only" either on a pc or use total commander.

i am using SPB mobile shell as my aftermarket rom...but i've been using that for awhile with no problems...even with hard reset (as in turning off the phone and on), i still can't access the "remove programs" and actually DO anything....the only thing it seems like i CAN do is do a full, factory reset, but i really don't want to resort to that.....
and wearefree, i did check the available storage, and it's not fully taken up...granted, it's not a lot left for storage, but still there's a good amount left for a few more progams to be installed
i appreciate all your guys' help...anyone else? is there still a way for me to install progams through active sync/computer....? instead of doing it the CAB style...?
thanks

I was referring to a "hard reset", not just turning the phone off and on. That's a soft reset. When you do a hard reset, it basically rewrites over the os, so you will lose all you data, but it will be a fresh start, so you know there shouldn't be any errors. To do a hard reset, you press and hold the 1 and 2 buttons on the phone (buttons about talk and end) and press the soft reset button on the side. (with the stylus)
I also have this problem and would like to know an answer...i have hard reset and its done nothing..its almost like tmoble has it locked from putting programs in

Gotta learn this stuff

You guys are genious. I need serious help. First I have a services.exe error everytime I shut off or soft reset. Any one know what to do or if it even matters.
Second all this talk about running things and saving space. I need more memory saving. I don't have a clue what I really need and what I can get rid off to save oh ram. or hard drive memory too. Please tell me exactly what to do.
NExt on my HTC Imagio I want to run SBP mobile shell but I want to run TF3 too because I like the weather start up on it and I can't get to it with spb shell running someone talked about it but I can't figure out what to do based on what I read, I want to start up TF3 and then hit a button to go to shell. ANy one know how to do itl Also I have Pocket Mechanic and all kinds of tools but not SK Tools. I have Vitual Espolorer cuz I thought that would help me ID files but now that I can ID them I doh't know what I need and what I don;t. If I get SK Tools will it help me know what to do. Nothing comes with a manual anynmore. I need a detailed manual for the phone and how it works not what it does. Can anyone answer these with esplicit directions cuz I don;t know a .dll from anything else. I only know that an exe runs something, So Im really dumb about all this. ANyone know how to help. It 2:30 AM and I;ve been up all night for a week trying to figure out things on this phone. So far I like it a lot but the more I add the slower I get and I might want to add more. HELP!!!!!! Going crazy.....
OK, that's a whole lot for anyone to try to process. First things first, what's your biggest problem? The best way to get help is to knock down the issues one at a time.
The first problem is I have a services.exe error every time I turn the phone on after it's been off or any time I reset it. That's first
Based on a little Googling, it looks like the only fix for a services.exe error is a hard reset. I pasted the info on a hard reset below for you:
This will wipe all data off the phone and restore factory default settings.
1. While the phone is off, press and hold Volume Down + Talk/Send + End/Power.
2. When the device displays a message about wiping the data, release all 3 buttons.
3. Press Volume Up to complete the hard reset.
If I move all my programs I installed to my card I won't really loose anything right.,

I don't know what programs you are trying to move, listen, just forget moving programs, back up or your files via myphone or use activesync to store everything you want on your computer. When you perform a hard reset either by the method listed or by going to Start->settings->all settings->system->memory then selecting clear storage tab, letting win mo come back up and customize then before you do anything when it restarts, hard reset again, for some reason this helps the functionality of native software. Then immediately take care of the tv icon, proxy mem. tweak, and nopifix. Then what ever you need to install try to install to your sd card via downloading from this xda site for cab files or doing a little google searching rather than installing directly from market place. EXCEPTION: DO NOT INSTALL TWEAKS TO SD CARD OR ITEMS THAT ROTATE THE SCREEN. Keep all the cab files on your pc or on your storage card so that you have them whenever you decide to hard reset or flash your device. Enjoy your imagio thing only become easier the more you use and play.
I must not have my activcesnyc set up right because the only thing it backsup is my contacts, email, journal and a file folder full of what ever I want to but in that folder but thats snyc with my docs on my devic and I don't want to over load it. When I had a palm it used to back everythng up to a file on my computr and I could just reinstall but this windows stuff doesn't seem to do it. How do I set up active sync to sync everythi ng on my devide and card to back up to my computer.? Ans I don't have a clue what you were talking aabout when you said take care of your tv and those other files, not a clue. I have mobil shell on my phone is that what your taling about not having on the phoen. You need to talk like your talking to a 12 year old when your explaining this stuff to me. Thanks. L

Hey you said something about getting rid of the tv icon and other stuff after a hard reset, but never explained in detail. plz help, thx
After weeks of zero issues (aside from memory leak), I just got a barrage of services.exe errors this morning. Phone was throwing error after error even after a soft reset. After three soft resets it's finally working now (after another services.exe error). I didn't make a single change to my configuration though so I'm a big perplexed as to why these just started showing up now. I was really starting to get content with my Imagio too...sigh.
