Hi All
Am I right in thinking that all apps apart from standard apps such as word and excel are removed by a hard reset ?
If so how do I reinstall apps that were installed by my PC ie. not via a cab file. Will they install automatically next time I coonct M3100 to PC?
Also where is the best place to install, card or memory ?
Thanx in advance

After hard reset, you can re-install the apps by connecting to activesync, and then going to add/remove programs in activesync or just install each app by installing it the same way you did the first time...hope you have the software keys also

If I apply the latest ROM upgrade, obvously I will lose all the data on the system.
Will I be able to restore from Sprite Backup my:
Contacts?
Events?
Tasks?
documents?
applications?

No not exactly but all is not lost.
You cannot simply use either xBackup or SpriteBackup to do a backup and then a restore.
If you sync your PIM data (contacts, tasks, appointments etc.) with MS Outlook you will be able to restore them easily enough with a simply sync once you have restablished the partnership after the ROM upgrade.
However you will need to reinstall all 3rd party applications again.
To save the data from any 3rd party applications manually copy the respective data files to either your memory card or your PC's harddisk and then manually copy them back once you have performed the ROM upgrade and reinstalled your 3rd party applications.

sounds like a few hours work. I will wait until the sytem is so clogged up that i would need to do a hard reset.
thanks for your quick response

when i do a hardreset
i afterwards go into activsync when i connected the device once more
and choose add remove programs
and just tick the all the 3th party programs i used to have installed and wish once more on and it autoinstall them
of cause this dont work with programs that i installed from the xda itself as cab files
and ofcause hardresets if it's because one upgrade the rom may end up with some programs not working like from 2002 to 2003
and maybe with 2003SE aswell if programs mess up with the res aware stuff
Pardon my ignorance, but why can you not just restore from xbackup or using a backup file via activesync. What about sms. I have over 1000 sms that I do not wish to loose.
the problem i have only showed today, when i wanted to sync my device with my laptop, i had an error message saying AS encountered a problem and cannot sync the device.
also when i want to install any app it ssays (unsuccessful installation) no matter what the app was.
the last thing, when i went to the remove software list, surprise, nothing was there, absolutely empty list (i still have all my apps installed and running).
what could be the cause for this? please help me here guys.
Certainly a program that screwed up the system. I would hard reset and reinstall trusted apps only...
thats exactly what i did. i had to hard reset the device despite all the information i couldn't save, just to get it back to work properly.
is there any app that allows me to back up & restore sms msgs? i lost more than 300 important msgs in this hard reset, & was really pissed off that i had to do it.
I use Jeyo Mobile Extender to synchronise them with Outlook.
sorry for reviving a dead topic, but i am constantly getting the error where it tells me uninstal unsuccessful, do you want to remove the application from the remove programs list? and when installing i get install unsuccessful, try again? click yes and same thing.
Do i really need to hard reset?
that's what i had to do, hard reset.
i couldn't find any other way around this problem.
I have the same problem even after a hard reset.
I'm unable to instal any application without the message: ....CAB Install unsuccessful, try another location.
Any ideas?
Hi All,
I have 2 problems with my K-Jam.
1) Cant uninstall lots of programs
2) Some of the installed Cab files doesn't show up on the Remove Programs app
1) Everytime i try to uninstall an application i get this error "<application> was not completly removed from. Do you want to remove it from the list of Installed programs?"
If i said yes and then restart the application is still there and running and everything. WHAT CAN I DO??
2) I installed Skype that comes preloaded on the K-Jam, i want to uninstall it in order to install a newer version but it didn't show up on the uninstall list! I also installed the Vodafone dialer skin and it wasn't added to the installed programs list. What i can do?
I dont want to hard reset cz i have loads of SMS messages that i dont want to delete and that's another problem i can't backup my SMS messages, is there a way to do it?
Thank you very much for your patience and help, i really appreciate it...
waiting to hear soon form you

Me face the same problem
Any help would be Appreciated.
Hello Guys,
Try JEYOS software its fully functional free for 15 days, you can connect your PDA to your Outlook and download all the SMS's in to already installed JEYOs plugin, and then restore them again later on.
But be carefull as this plugin will give some hard time to the Outlook during loading and get crash, but dont worry u not gonna loose any backuped SMS's, just restart your Outlook and it will be ok.

Try to install the new version of Skype on top of the older one.

Here is a procedure
There is a lot written about this on the forum. It is a major nuisance that nothing uninstalls properly. Here is what I do:
Backup device (I use spb backup)
Turn program off. Sometimes this requires killing the running file.
Uninstall using using the uninstall function, either from the device or activesync.
Soft reset. If program still runs, kill it.
Using file explorer, remove remnants (identified by program name) from /Windows/Start Menu/Programs, /Windows, /Windows/AppMgr and /Program Files. If the program installed to the SD card you have to look there too.
Using Memmaid, kill any notifications the program created. You can use it to eliminate bad registry links, too, but that rarely works in my experience.
Soft reset
This has worked for me.
I strongly recommend being unnaturally organized about the software you install and the settings. Keep a log. After uninstalling a bunch of programs, you are probably going to want to do a hard reset and install the software you actually like, and this will be easy if you have all the information (passwords, settings) at hand. It is the only way to have a clean device with no remnants of programs that didn't properly uninstall.
Been trying out a number of applications, Themes etc all day and have had to do many soft resets as well as 1 hard reset however after every soft reset Activesync is uninstalling & then reinstalling itself ...... not a big issue other than the additional time it takes but occasionally it wont sync all the files & database (Act with Act Link)info i use whch then requires me to manually reinstall Activesync.
Can anyone advise
Thank you in advance

any ideas anyone
How do you mean it is uninstalling and reinstalling itself?
I don't understand
I have no clue what you mean, either. AcitveSync is part of the ROM/OS so it can´t uninstall/install itself......
Apologies for not making it clearer
It is the Act Link which is (a sync software) which syncs an Act database through activesync which is uninstalling & reinstalling after a soft reset
Again thank you in advance

Still looking for a solution
