I have a MDA, and recently tried to delete Full Screen Keyboard. After I deleted the files, I noticed that the Programs on storage memory list was blank, and I couldn't uninstall programs, or see the memory I had left. I did a full backup, Full Screen Keyboard is back, but the installed programs list isn't. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or a third party program for uninstalling programs?
Pocket Mechanic?

Do you have pocket mechanic installed?
It caused your exact problem on my device (apache)
a while back. You have to uninstall programs from the
pocket mechanic uninstall screen after it's installed.
I've had the same problem once with my Smartphone (SPV C500).
The reason for this was a program with a bad "uninstall procedure"? When I removed the program using Active Sync the list appeared again on my phone.
I am having this same issue except that it is no longer in both my ActiveSync or Uninstall List.
The program was in my uninstall list. I chose it to uninstall, it worked for a bit and the program disappeared from the list, but not the device. So I connected the phone to my computer and selected the program from ActiveSync to uninstall. Again, it worked for a bit and then showed me the list without that program but its still in my phone.
How can I get it out without a hard reset?
Thanks

how to make storage big space? although installed in SD memory, storage memory always low.
This could be a result of the number of programs you have running in the background. Check your Running Programs and see if you have lots of unnecessary programs using up your memory.

the problem is when ever I installed program, I never installed to phone memory. I only installed into my SD Card.

It doesn't matter where you are installing them; if you have them running in the background they still need memory
Just check your running programs. On a desktop PC when you minimize a program they go into your taskbar, but in Pocket PC they just hide themselves in the background. Its a common misconception that the "x" in the upper right hand corner of the screen closes the program; all it does it minimizes it. Or atleast most of them, some programs a actually very well designed and actually "close". At any case, use the "running programs" utility that came standard with your Magician to see how many programs you have running - it's actually quite amazing what you'll find.
I have a similar problem but mine starts at 20mb free after soft reset but after each sync (disconnect and reconnect) it drops by about 6mb until it reaches 7 or 8mb and stays there until I soft reset again?
I am not aware of any invoked programs that eat up memory when I sync and I have very little data in my sync files folder?
Suggestions welcome (except hard reset!!).
Thanks,
OB.
obarnes, That true. why after soft reset it used more memory. supposed to be free more memory.
Activesync eats up memory everytime you hook it up. That memory does not get freed up. Approx 3MB gets blocked away for every sync you do - so if you start of with 20 and you sync up 3 or 4 times then you're memory will slowly start to dissapear. This is a common occurence, the only thing I could suggest is to soft-reset 2-3 times a day. Additionally there are programs that can eliminate tiny chunks of memory being used up by duplicate processes that occur when you soft-reset your machine, they don't really effect your device; but every byte helps. The program is by Scarybear and it's called notifyclear (or something like that). I've recently did a maintenance on my device and managed to clear up almost 10MB just by moving unnecessary files and clearing up the registry and redundant junk from the machine. Hope this helps.
Obarnes,
The "memory leak" could be due to a program you have installed also. I used to face the problem because of Battery Pack Pro v.2 and havent faced a "memory leak" since I uninstalled it.
i installed two media players that tcmpc (or something) and the gsplayer (the one with the tree icon). i use the remove program options to remove the two but it does not completely remove them, how do i completely remove them, help
This is because the program runs in the background although we closed it.
After a soft reset ( or interesting, but after using VjayPhoneKill app we can uninstall the programs ) you can uninstall it perfectly.
(And please don't say anybody that there is a lot of task closing application. I know. But beside using them, applications run in the background after real closing. That's why we have this **** memory leak problem)
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
T
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??
I was playing with several ipod UI's for my Hermes and somehow my remove programs list is now blank. the total storage memory available at the bottom is also blank.
it seems like i didnt install anything...but all my programs that where installed before still works.
i think it happened after i uninstalled WA2 and WAD.
anyone know how i can get it back???
Hi,
try to remove the last 1 or 2 programs you've installed using activesync (add or remove software) .... your list should come back.
bye
Thanks for the help...but i am using WMDC and it gives me an error everytime it tries to sync.
sigh...i guess i'll just have to upgrade to black 3.5 with a fresh install.
Sorry to ressurect an old thread but I just had exactly the same issue on my HTC Touch. All my installed programs have vanished from the list (but still work) and ActiveSync won't connect to let me install or uninstall anything.
I have 6.97mb of storage free and 16.33mb of program storage free.
Any ideas how to sort this out without clearing everything out and starting again?
So, I do *not* have my phone backed up, unfortunately.
I've been installing various apps, resco file explorer, htc home, memmaid, and a few others.
I had installed spb pocket plus and didnt like it, so I removed it and did a soft reset to complete the uninstall.
When the phone reboots, all my 'today screen' plugins (htc home, resco, etc) are gone. I go back into settings/today/items to reload them, and all my formerly available today screen plugins are gone from the list!
The only items which appear are: Date, Calendar, Owner Info & Tasks. Even some of the 'default' today plugings like locking the phone or messages are missing.
Plz help!!!!
Do those programs show up in Remove Programs?
Yes they all do. And I can run the programs if I go to my programs list. It looks like just the today screen plugins are screwy
I *really* want to avoid a hard reset if at all possible
I don't know how to get the default plugins back without doing a hard reset. But for the programs you installed that are missing today plugins you can just reinstall them and you should be good to go.
Perhaps someone else will chime in and be able to help more.
ok... so i backed up the contacts and did the hard reset.
ah well, had to be done sooner or later i guess.
now the fun of reinstalling all my apps!
