Help! Universal refuses to install applications

Hi all,
No matter what I do, as of yesterday, I cannot install any applications, big or small, internally or on SD card. Thought I had run out of space and checked storage space: 7.12 MB free.
Gone to "Remove Programs" and got a greyed-out empty screen! (see below)
No idea how it got like this!
I am stuck! Short of hard resetting, I don't know what to do!

hi
i had the same problem, posted my question 2 times but no results. the only advice is do a hard reset so you can install everthing again.
i believe thats the only solution
goodluck

At last an answer!

Thanks! You are the only brave soul in here at the moment.
I've listed all my installed applications, will take a deep breath and go for the hard reset this wekend.
Cheers

have you installed pocket mechanic,or other similar software?

I had the same problem and it did start after using pocket mechanic. I was tring to put all programs from memory to SDcard, and thats when I got the same white screen and the problem of not being able to install any further apps.
So this issue could have to do with Pocket Mechanic....

Solution of sorts!

Hi,
Thanks to all that replied and no, I don't have Pocket Mechanic but I did install a trial version of SK Tools. Could that have caused it?
At the moment, I've solved it with a hard reset and careful re-install of applications I knew forever and no fancy Today plugins either.
It would be helpful if we could pinpoint the trouble-maker and under what situation the problem occurs so that we can avoid the situation happening again.
Many happy returns!

I had the same problem when using paradis pals page pool changer. If you do not make sure the address in the nb file is correct, you will mess things up in the phone that you need working on your phone.

not enough memory issue

just tried to play the avatar clip via msn uk and saw a new error. It told me i had insufficient memory. i think the error was from adobe flash player. i am using ie. is there a was to direct this to sd as i have a lot of space there?

Did you try resetting your mobile after install? After install it crashed on me, I reset my mobile and it worked fine.

I did not install anything. I simply tried to run the trailer.

I got this error too and I have seen videos with the IE in the HD2 running embeded flash on sites. I will either get the error or no flash at all. What gives?!
UPDATE: It does show the flash some times. Weird.

I have the same issue in general. i want to open my calendar and it says no memory available go to task manager and exit programs. when i go to task manager all programs are already exited.... but it still gives me the message. when i restart it works but the same happens again after a while.... will that be the case all the time :S :S
(btw i just bought the phone 1 day ago so any tips would be helpful)
Thankss

you should install cleanram as it helps free some ram...also get cleartemp as it'll show you what's eating your space up like googlemap and youtube caches so you can delete them easily...and finally don't forget to soft reset
one more very important thing which saves a LOT of space if you're on stock rom or your cooked rom doesnt have it(highly unlikely) is moving the album cache...read the thread here and look out for 4tune's cab
you should also read tboy200's thread and look at tips 65 and 67

Cleanram and cleantemp aren't going to solve that problem.
Leo has from 448 to 576MB of total ram, it's unlikely a human being would run enough programs to actually drain that all.
The problem lies in the virtual memory architecture: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/windows/VirtualMemory.aspx?msg=3360923, and alas it's nothing that can be solved, just somehow reduced byt for example flashing a custom rom that loads less libraries in VM at boot, for example, leaving more free VM.

clear the opera cash and it is done

ephestione has it right. in my experience, an out of memory error on the HD2 does NOT mean that there's not enough memory, it's just an architecture limitation that gives application errors.

Insufficient space error in Play Store
Hi all, infact this problem is not related to this thread (in my opinion) but since i am a newbie and can't post to the related post, i choose to write down my problem here where i can find a solution..maybe..
Right now i am using Dorimanx's [24 MAY] Dorimanx-ROM-HIGH-END 3.1.9 N277 ODEX NO-HOME-REFRESH+ ZRAM+ SKIN+ TWEAKS+ CRON Rom. I dont know if CRON or any other script is working smoothly, actually i dont know how to test them but, the real problem for me is totally apart from that.
I fixed the audio issue by flashing Magldr_kernel_iamgpc_294, -the flashable version of libaudio_v5-drizztje- i guess, after that i am facing with apps update issues, the apps that i am trying to update is giving "insufficient space" errors. I tried to uninstall and re-install alternatives but i cant even re-install the app that i uninstalled!!!
Solution?

Weird: can't install no cab-files! nor remove

Howdy,
I can't install any cab on my Elfin anymore ("installation failed")! That sucks!
It's no memory problem (theres enough mem).
I think somehow my HTC lost his information about what programs are installed, because
- the "remove apps" app has no entry (I can't remove programs but there are prgs of course)
- I can't remove images in the "pics & video" app ("file used or unauthorized") - but I can delete files using e.g. TotalCommander.
So, I can neither install nor delete...
* I think this problem exists since I did a hard reset and had to recover using a SpriteBackup!
Do you know how to fix it? Would be v. grateful... Oliver

Hi
It seems your backup is corrupted. One way to know is to Hard reset again, don't restore backup and install a cab, see if the problem is resolved.

Thanks for the idea, I will maybe have to try so later, but wonder if there's possibly a way to fix it?? (I wanna avoid hardreset again )

Try killing the app before u uninstall... use task manager to kill the program it may work...
if the problem happens in installing the app then i think u may have to follow wat tito told u ...( hard reset and dont restore things from ur old backup.)

it works after hardreset. but my device is massivly tweaked and customized - I have to find a solution to fix it - well, at least as long as I can live with that bug...
There must be a way to fix, maybe registry? file association -wceload.exe- is ok... this doesn't seem to happen so often, but looking forward to your help here.
thanks!

make a new backup after a fresh hard-reset and after you finished customizing it.
maybe the problem was with that specific back-up.

Anyway witch is your company? to come work for you when you are buying Leos...

everyone now will start to ask about the cool company that gives HD2 and forget about the problem
john (if thats your real name), post the same question in the leo forum and make sure to mention the installed software. also make sure you update to a newer ROM

Hope this helps
Hi John,
I have had the same problem and am currently using
Rom Version 2.10.531.1
OS version 5.2.21889
What I did to solve to this problem was
Step1: Clean everything off the device in Settings > Application > Remove Programs
(Can choose to do whatever I just chose to delete everything and start from scratch it was that or a factory reset (Settings > Security > Factory Reset)
Step2: Turn off the Location Services in Settings > location (I unchecked everything AGPS and HTC location)
Step3: Downloaded and installed Cleanram

So far it has been peaceful (3 days and counting) hope this helps or can be condensed to find the problem until an update arrives.

Hi,
We are a small SW company. We just wanted to test these devices before star working on them. This happened when we run some programs from the program list of the device.
Thanks in advance.

i would also follow the recommendations Jalopy is making.
also make sure that you dont have too many text messages on your device otherwise HTC Messaging will slow the whole device down!

How many is "some" programs?
What programs are you using? I would like to reproduce the bug.
Sounds to me considering the amount of people having the same problem in different areas doing different steps, that this is memory related and not hardware.
Are you closing your applications after you use them?
Even when you exit some default programs (wrong or right) they are still displayed in the task manager (taking up precious memory ). Make sure you are closing your apps by checking in Task Manager and ending the task correctly and cleaning your ram or alternatively you can download Duttys Task Manager that allows you to close the app by pressing x rather than minimizing it.

Freeze after rom flash.
Hello i thought i may use this thread since the topic is the same. I recently got my hd2,so i thought i could experiment on it changing the rom that could optimize the hardware usage, since the original rom was not good. Anyway i installed Hspl_2 and added this rom:Miri_rom_hd2_WM65X from htcpedia
I followed the guide on this site so everything went fine. the device booted nicely with the new rom, but when i reboted the device it freezes on the htc logo. I performed hard reset and it works fine, but each time i reboot the device freezes at the htc logo and i am forced to hard reset it each time.
I wonder if its something wrong with the rom? and what about the radio?

Hi guys,
My phone suffers from the same, we are also looking into it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607949

[Q] Blue screen, HTC sence crashed.

Good evening.
My HTC crashed. this is the six time now..
So let me tell you what's the problem, hopefully you guy's can help me.
This happend last time:
I was typing an sms and after a while i tilt my mobile to landscape mode.
After doing this my mobile wouldn't return in normal screen mode.
so i soft rest my mobile.. not so smart move.
the text sounds: "tap here for loading HTC sence".
If i tap this it says: "HTC sence loading" but it will return to: "tap here for loading HTC sence".
I cant go into my startscreen so doing anything isn't an option.
Well i soft reset like 5 times and 3 times i yank the battery out while booting but it will ceep telling me the same thing...
My phone: HTC touch HD.
The rom i use: kwbr topix version 3.6
mmm i can't put an link in this post so the thread is: showthread.php?t=460640
So if anyone has an idea for me. that would be great!
I haven't done a hardrest before and I instald my ROM 5 times before now..
Thanks anyway.
Leek.

if just sense isn't working there's no problem, just backup your pim data and any other important files (pictures...) and hard reset the phone.

So if I take all my files from my SD-card and copy them to my PC (or take my SD-card out of my phone) and preform a hard-reset, then is there a chance that my phone will be alive again?
And a question:
A hard rest can be done by: pressing both volume button's and the powerbutton?
Thank you very much!

a hard reset does not affect the contents of the sd card, but the entire internal storage, meaning the space, where "\My Documents" and other folders are located, including all your contacts, messages...
you should sync your pim data (contacts, tasks, appointments...) either with outlook (that does not save your sms!) or with MS myphone (saves all) or pimbackup (saves all) and save your ringtones and possible photos stored internally, you can backup those files either with ms myphone as well or just copy and paste them to the storage card.
also, remember, a hard reset will delete all the programs installed and their respective settings, so keep your needed cab files present.
setting up the device after the hard reset will take some time, keep that in mind, but if you actually never performed one before, you will realise a huge improvement in speed.

Ok thank you very much.
I will preform a hard reset tonight so I can use it soon again ^^.
The data standing on my internal storage isn't usefull anymore. It's already on my pc so when I get home, I'll hard reset it right away!
Speed improvement is alway's welcome!
I'll let you know if my phone works again.
Thanks.

Wauw it worked perfectly!
The hard rest of my phone took only a minut, so that was far much better then installing the ROM over and over again!
Thanks for your advice.

yes, reflashing the rom does not really change anything, as long as you don't hard reset after flashing. to keep ypur phone clean and fast and not pollute it with old trash, always perform a hard reset after flashing. it is highly recommended when changing roms, and when staying on the same one, a hard reset can solve nearly any software related issues that appear over time

New problem...
My phone is acting weird again..
The problem is the startup now.
It takes around 5 min to get to the home screen.
but when you think its finaly started, then there appears an error:
Run FILEOP
\windows\Menu_FILEOP_Operator.txt
faild.
What can i do about this?
Hardreset again?
(this would be my 13th time that my phone crashed... i'm becomming crazy..)
can anyone help me with this?
Greets,

1) Backup all PIM data.
2) Preform Task 29(that's the topic showthread.php?t=653604)
3) Flash with the ROM you like
4) Hard reset 1 or 2 times depending of ROM requirements.
5) Restore the PIM data.
6) Have fun
