My Remove Programs list disappeared - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

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?

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
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??

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

Installed Programs list blank

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

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

15 mins to get up and running after soft reset :S

hey first thing i want to say is this phone is amazing and it blows away everything and anything i have had in the past (ok not my 360 though).
but in the last 2 weeks ive noticed whenever i perform a soft reset, mainly because of some program freezing, it takes an enormous time for the phone to recover functionality. i mean, that when i turn the phone on, i see the pink circle appear and then the t-mobile logo, after that the Launching HTC Sense shows and then it takes about 2 mins to completely show the home screen, i.e. clock tabs calender, notification bar and all.
thats all fine, but then when i try to scroll through the home screen tabs at the bottom it jitters and is extremely unresponsive moving after like 30 secs to 3 tabs. its the same with the start button, when i try to scroll down the apps its really slow and does the same jitters and when i select something it just does that 4 colour dots loading thing.
it happens every single time after a soft reset, however if i turn the phone on and leave it aside for around 15 mins then when i try to scroll through tabs or apps it works a treat, like nothing was wrong with it.
please can someone help me, i dont know if its some start up programs causing it or some registry tweak that needs to be applied to correct it. but any help is greatly appreciated and thank you
p.s. i have quite a few apps installed :s i installed resco explorer and through 1 of the apps 'system info', im going to post some of the numbers maybe it might shed some light.
program memory 336.9 MB - used 193.86 Mb (58%)
storage memory 214.7 MB - used 204.99 MB (95%)
storage card 1.8 GB - used 1.78 GB (97%)
here is a list of the things under \Windows\StartUp
BTTrayCE
DelWMPTempFolder
HTCStartUp
PKG
poutlook
RunGNAgent
XMmobiresetter
I suspect its down to having a shiny new toy and access to this "sweetshop" of a forum that's at the heart of the issue here. I too had similar problems earlier today when my storage memory dipped even lower than your's that resulted in pop up messages from windows warning me about critically low ammounts of storage and telling me to remove some installed or redundant files to improve performance..cue bye bye to co-pilot as I dont use it and things have improved considerably.Amongst the stuff I've installed are Tomtom navigator 7, Garmin mobile XT,Igo8.3.4,ACR hd,Totall commander,Resco file explorer,myplayer,Zoomer,skyfire,BsB Tweaks and a slack handfull of games...(all of them installed to the SD card which is now almost at capacity...roll on getting my 16gb card )
These two programs (RunGNAgent, XMmobiresetter) are not in my startup folder, so try to delete them (before deleting backup them), and see if that helps.
first of all thanks to terrytpot and Mikulec.
ill try to uninstall some apps and try an reduce the memory as much as i can and see if i notice an improvement. hopefully that'll work and ill also do the backup of the 2 files and delete them from the startup.
thanks again
P.S. if anyone has anymore ideas that would greatly appreciated. thank you
rungna.exe what is it, explained
well I did some experiments with this rungnagent.exe. witch apeared to be in my startup folder.
I installed sbp-safemode (just in case i would crash the phone (ps im having a samsung i-780).
then i moved the rungna.exe to my storragecard (away from any bootup options)
I shutted my phone down holding the on/off button and restarted it.
instead of waiting 2 minutes for the phone to startup I could scroll trough start, my homescreen and apps (really fast) within 20 seconds, wich was the startup-time when i got the phone .
I made sure that all my apps were still working and guess what they did not have any complications to any backgrounded or foregrounded apps.
I was starting to get very curious about what this app would be.
I loaded the program to my windows 7 desktop-pc and scanned it using filealyzer from savernetworking (the makers of spybot search and destroy).
the file seems to be a .net executable microsoft visual c# v.7.0 . net program with the following funtions in the hex-strings (the commands given to a program on how to funtion) and the behaviour is (in my case):
check the installed files from the program google navigator.
there's also in te hextext that it has to open google navigator trough a link in the windows folder named Google "Navigator.ink"
so when you deïnstall google navigator (in my case I did that because the software was crap). it can't load and run it's intergration with the system at startup and may hook your mobile phone down at that very same startup. the makers of the software just made a mistake in their deïnstall executable because it doesn't remove this specific file. (google navigator is not google maps google navigator is a 3d navigation program using google maps you can find their software on pdafun.net)
so when you deïnstalled the program just put the file somewhere on the phone (just in case) or at least remove it from your startup folder.
So this would mean: Problem solved thread closed XD
ps
my phone stoped freezing when i deleted this startup entry so for some reason it also hooked up the system when you opend more than 5 regular apps. having you to reset the phone all the time. those problems are gone now .
I would suggest that you install spb pocket plus buy it (or bittorent it XD). the software has many handy features with one in specific being very handy. the boot in safemode option.
when your phone crashes 2 times (so you stik your stilus in the resethole 2 times) it comes up with a special bootscreen giving you 2 options boot regular or boot in safe mode.
boot in safe mode means you startup your phone without loading any registry entries or boot commands. you just get a blank screen (no deskapps, tochflow, home shells, etc). with the regular startbutton and all programs and settings. meaning you can fix the phone when it crashed.
fixing means not having to do rom-resets (while worrying about contact backups, messages and all those apps you installed and have to reïnstall from scratch when hardresetting).
good luck with ya pocket personal computer XD.

ps: thread still closed XD
