Hi all,
each time I shut down Opera, it crashes, and I have a screen explaining me Opera crach ......
I've the stock release.
This issue appeared one day but I don't know when, maybe a problem with an installed application ????
Any idea to fix it ?

Did you install Flashlite 3.1 ? That program makes opera slow and unstable.
thx for your answer,
no flashlite on my phone .......

I have the same thing, I have installed quite a few things lately though.
Guess the only option is to hard reset and start over.
i have the same prob. installed latest beta last night still has the same prob. means i cant change the settings and save them, so cant impliment that iplayer fix as a result.
I think I solved the problem. In my case it appeared after I played with build 2808. Opera started crashing on exit and even hanging the device. It turned out that while I didn't have Flash installed, opera.ini still pointed to a non-existing plugin folder, \Windows\Opera9\plugins. So I simply went to opera:config, found the path setting, reset it to default (blank), and the problem is gone!
No, today it started crashing on exit again for no apparent reason, and what's worse, it hangs the device completely!
Does anybody have stock unmodified files so I can try to replace what I have in \Windows\Opera9?
when you say crash, is this when you get the thing asking you to send an error report to m$? if so i get the same thing. i'm unsure whats causing it and dont want to hard reset. the way i olook at it currently is it doesnt seem to crash when i actually use opera so i try and ignore it
Found it!
I had installed that Seismo thing that needs HTCAPI.DLL in the windows folder.
When I removed that, no more Opera crash (yes the one where it asks to send a report to MS)
And I did a hard reset for that!

In my case it was sometimes hanging the whole device. I had to reset it using the button in the battery compartment.
I solved the problem finally (at least it's been working for a whole day without any crashing) by uninstalling .Net CF 3.5 and Gyrator 2

Confirmed. I did it as well. I tried it before removing and got the crash. i removed it, loaded opera, exited it and no crash.
I installed that .dll because VR Hologram needed it.

Same here. Although the strange thing is why it's not crashing with this dll in my \Windows folder.
Maybe it's a trilateral conflict between Opera, .NET CF 3.5 and the dll, and removing one of the three solves the issue?

That sounds plausible, I still have .NET CF3.5 without the DLL and have not had Opera crashing since removing HTCAPI.DLL, I need .NET for more than that DLL.

I confirm. Removal of the htcapi.dll file also solved my opera crash problem.
HTCAPI.DLL versions
Hi All,
I had the same problem with Opera crashing the phone on exit.
today I found that I have 2 htcapi.dll on my desktop that it seems I have downloaded. I was about to delete one of them when I realized that they have different sizes. one around 7KB and the other one around 4 KB.
so I checked the one installed on my HD and it was the 7KB so I replaced it with the smaller one, and so far no crash anymore.
I hope this will help you guys.
I am attaching the file for you to try.
Regards

Hey all. I am still having this problem even after deleting the above .dll. Basically when I go to exit opera, the whole phone locks up and I have to hard reset or remove the battery and reset the phone that way. Any suggestions as to what could be going on? It only started this 3 days ago, and I ahven't installed any new apps/programs in the past week.
Edit, solution found in other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468861

Everytime i want to enter an url opera closes itself. I only have to press the first letter of the adress and opera closes.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this?
Consider yourself happy. On my Qtek 9000 / HTC Universal, Opera displays all URLs and HTML form content in a strange character set. It looks somewhat like chinese.
It seems that Opera is just not ready for prime time yet.
I'm waiting for MultiIE for WM 2005 - it worked extremely well on my older WM 2003 SE machine (a Qtek 9090 / HTC Blue Angel).
Another solution to add multi-window browsing is SPB Plus which works on WM 2005, but it's a lot less than perfect - it's Pocket IE integration makes Magic Button lock up, and we all know we can't live without Magic Button.
just copy the arial.ttf from a windows pc to your pocket pc's \windows\fonts directory and your problem is solved!
but whats with my problem??
What ROM are you using?
first i was using the newest vodafone rom, now i am using the newest imate rom.
this happens with both roms!
from time to time I have the same problem.
don't know what is the cause, but I found a way to solve it: just clear your history (menu - tools - settings - advanced - clear history)
thank you, but that didnt solved my problem.
i made a hard-reset some minutes ago. now it works fine.
i think there was a corrupt system file, wich i restored everytime i made a hard reset before.

I had the same problem. It was made by cookies and addressbar history. Best thing you can do deleting cookies (and history, ,cache, temporary files..). This should resolve your problem. It resolved mine. You can use for that SKtools or MemMaid. Or you can clear those from opera options menu and delete all files from \Application Data\Opera\cache4 folder.
I hope it helps.
(I had same thing happened with PocketIE, and the same thing resolved.)
Hi all,
I'm running the swiss version of the Trinity, it's called v1510 and I still run the original WM5-Version on it.
Now I found out that nothing happend, when I try to open a pic or a video. All what happens is that the screen flashes shortly, and that's all. When I try to start the application pimg.exe (I think this is the correct program?) nothing happens.
I have no problems to open pictures with other apps like Xnview or SPB Imageer, but not with the build-in pimg.exe. It wont be such a problem for me, but the point is that I cannot add images to my phone-contacts, as nothing happens when I click on "add image". I suppose it trys to open pimg.exe, which is not working properly.
Therefore I'm searching of one of those solutions: how can I force the trinity to set Xnview or SPB imageer as the default viewer? So, that it starts one of those programs when I wanted to add an image to my contacts?
Or: what can I do to "repair" the original pimg.exe?
Thanks in advance & best regards

if you backup the data you wanna keep
then you can try out a hardreset to delete regs and such
if a reg got corrupt for that program
have u installed anything lately. mine did the same thing and it was to do with a direct push mail client

Hi,
does this work with SPB-Backup? This is the only backup-software I have. In this case I suggest I should not backup System-Data, as they could be corrupt, am I right? Well, maybe I will try a hard reset...
@hoyler30589: Well, I installed a few programs, but I absolutely dont remember from what time on the pimg.exe did not work... However, I did not install stuff regarding direct push clients.
Best regards

Hi all,
after performing a hard reset I re-installed all my former softs, and therefore I was aware of a software called "Helmi's WMedia Support". And yes: this was the reason for my issue: after installing it, the viewer didn't start, and after uninstalling it the viewer worked properly again. A very nice "media support"... Well, maybe it was designed for WM6, can't remember anymore...
Okay, I'm happy that I can now add the pics to my contacts!
Regards
JoeSac
Hey Joe...
I suffer from the same problem you had, and although I'm sure I never installed anything called "Helmi's WMedia Support", it might be worth a try installing and uninstalling it. Therefore I tried to google the tool, but didn't find more than one website from Taiwan which didn't allow me to download it.
Could you send it to me, if the program is free of charge/public domain?
Hi there,
I've searched the forum but could not find this problem yet.
90% out of the time when I boot the sytem it does not start the touchflo software. I need to reboot it again after which it does start.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Cbx.
Same for me.. but for 50%.
I suspect S2U2 or maybe the SIM pincode form to make troubles with touchflo
Sounds weired but open the keyboard and type your pin in landscape mode. Don´t know why but it works
I have found this to work.
Put the device in Airplane Mode before you reboot. It works for me.
I have put an manila.exe shortcut on windows/startup folder.
Now all´s working fine.
By the way, this is a great piece of hardware.
Hmm,strange, never happened to me before, has been using more than 1 month now. Restart many times, and TouchFlo still start normal.
Maybe you have to many third party software installed :>
Same problem here.
Already posted in lots of threads around, looking for an answer. I even hardreset the device trying to isolate the problem. At first I thought it would be s2u2, but then I found that Max TTM places a "shake" program in the startup folder. After removing it, the device started loading TF3D fine (most of the time).
Since it happened again already once, my conclusion is that neither the shake program nor s2u2 are the true softwares to blame. I think it is something in my startup folder tho.
I had the same problem..
And i solved it, by uninstalling S2U2 I really like S2U2 but i had to uninstall this to get TF3D working directly.
This is what happened to me in detail:
1: Installed S2U2 > Reboot > TF3D Won't Boot
2: Reboot > TF3D Won't Boot
3: Reboot > TF3D Won't Boot
4: Reboot > TF3D Boots
Every 3 resets TF3D boots, otherwise nothing will happen.
When uninstalling S2U2 everything was fine.

Since I'm a total N00B, can someone tell me how I can do this?
I'm glad by the way that I am not the only one woth this problem
Thanks again
I've found that if I put my PIN fix in the Phone settings so you don't need to enter it anymore upon booting the phone TF3D always launches...
And must say, when I use shortcuts to reset the device it won't boot neither, but when I shut down the phone and start it again it starts...
Ok, I think I just spoke too early. I give up.
Already thought that S2U2 was causing the problem. Thought it was Max TTM... but thing is, after using the manila.exe shortcut, the clock doesn´t work anymore (it gets the time when it booted but stays there).
So, basically, add me to the ones that have this problem. Tbh, I guess I´ll just hardreset the phone right now. Argh!
Hiho and hello to everybody (1st Post )
I have the same problem but with my TP2 it helps disconecting the phone from the cabel. The last 20 resets TF is starting.
Hope this will help you.

In FileExplorer you tap and hold the manila.exe file in the \Windows folder. In the pop up menu you choose copy. Then move to the \Windows\StartUp folder and tap and hold in a blank spot. Choose paste shortcut in the pop up menu. That's it, or at least one way to do it.
I don't think manila.exe is a hidden systemfile, unless the entire \Windows folder is hidden. Then you will have go to options and tic the show hidden files.
Same thing with touchflo. It doesn´t work. Any modificaion causes problems with tf3.
The method with starting in flight modus works fine and another method with entering PIN with hardware-keyboard works too. I think there is a bug with PIN-keyboard and i hope it will be patched. Anyway i´ve heard win 6.5 coming soon as an oficial update and then... maybe this tf3 problem will not be relevant for us.
I hope it´s sounds english enough to understand it.
Same problem.
I solved deleting the cleartemp startup shotcurt on windows/startup.
How many of you guys/girls, have the 1% battery cab installed?
I have same problem , but before install the 1% battery cab.
Also have 1%Battery thing, but had the problem before.
I feel, that if I wait a few seconds before typing in the pin until all icons in the upper right corner are present, booting touchflo3d works fine.
Please try!

Can be a bad setting that create those crashes.? what's your opinion.?
The cause of this problem is \Windows\htcapi.dll. Uninstall the program that put it there and you'll be fine. Or just delete the file. If it came with a custom ROM rename it to something like htcapi.dll.bak.

This .dll is attached on other critical component inside the PDA or i can change the extension without any problem .?
It's not part of stock ROM, doesn't exist in your device as it comes from HTC. It's added by some programs like "Diamond Hologram", some tweaks intended for "optimizing" device performance, and sometimes ROM chefs include it in their custom ROMs. So if you get rid of it some programs will stop working. I've never seen an important program use it though, so it's safe to at least try. The problem with this dll is that it's taken from some other devices and isn't made for HD.

Ok i've changed the extension and soft reset..the browser seems to be ok now.! i've tryed to open/closed 3 or 4 times and the phone won't crash..! amazing.! but, why this .dll create this conflict with opera.?
I have no idea why this conflict exists, but generally if you take a driver from one device and try to use it on another you're asking for trouble.

Oh is right.! have you seen that in April will go out Touch HD 2.? the camera will have flash.! but i think that the Touch hd 1 remain the good choice..what do you think about.?
This is completely off-topic, but yes, I think HD2 will be my next phone. And yes, HD is a very good device to my taste.
but i am having problems with opera in default rom which is from orange
and even updating with new orange rom opera is not stable especially after enabling plugin in settings of opera
its all with out tweeks and moding
I have no idea what that Orange ROM is like. If there htcapi.dll in \Windows? If yes, rename it and see if it helps.
Apart from that, what plugin are you trying to enable?

unable to find file htcapi.dll in windows folder
i do not have exact idea of these plugins(i believe it to be java ) but opera settings >advance settings have option to enable plugins
The fact that there is a setting doesn't mean you have to change it, especially when you don't know what you're doing. Just disable them and live happily ever after.

Hey guys,
Right now my Leo is unable to launch HTC sense after I did a soft-reset after modifying the registry "Change - CacheSize to 4096" gotten from the Leo Hints & Tips thread as well as uninstalling Nimbuzz.
Also I also created a shortcut for Task Manager to put into the start menu and added it to the Manilla shortcut at the main page.
A couple of soft-resets still doesn't solve it, and sometimes it will say tap here to start HTC Sense but tapping doesn't do anything. Able to open the dialing menu but takes quite awhile.
Pressing the contacts menu gives the error message "The file "contacts" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted cert, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
Any ideas?
Got the same problem.
Duttys HD Holy Grail
I tried to reinstall the rom but I can't connect with usb.
did you try that?
same problem here.
rom is 1.48 from stock.
also had the unable to launch sense error, couldnt find a way to solve it so i had to hard reset (AGAIN!!)
having to link 90 contacts with facebook manually sucks!
Does anyone have been able to solve this problem? I faced it today, I was doing some tweaks to my HD2, did some soft resets but then sudenlly it stops working, Sense freezes and has been unable to launch it, sometimes I can access to start menu but I can't load anthing, every link I tried to open tells me that the file cannot be opened either it's not signed or one of its components cannot be found. Nothing but the phone can be opened.
My rom is 1.48 stock.
Is the only solution for this a hard reset?

I faced similar problem before if I added the tweak of FATFS=4096. I did "hard reset" and then reinstalled all stuffs. I reinstalled all programs and readded the tweaks except FATFS one. The phone resumes normal.
It seems to me that the tweak of FATFS may not work on HD2.
Yes, actually I managed to remove that tweak without hard reset it, reverted it to FATFS=0 and everything came back to normal, my HD2 is now like it was before.
We MUST warn every HD2 owner to not apply this tweak.
I've cautioned this particular tweak on the main thread before.
changing the FATFS would hanged the HD2 (ROM: 1.48 Asia Region) and you'll need to hard reset to revert to the default settings.
Ohhh I didn't see that...
Thanks calyon!

HOw you do that?!
First I disabled HTC Sense from Home, then I move to the top of the start menu the registry editor (in my case it's SKTools Registry Explorer), then I turned it off and on several times and every time I tried to run the registry editor, when I was unable to run it I turned it off and on again, until I was able to run the registry editor, then navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and changed back the FATFS to 0.
I don't know how many times I've had to turn it on and off, but I thinks it's better than do a hard reset, specially if you don't have a backup or your data.

Hello,
I just changed the FATFS registry value to 4096 based on the tweaks hint & tips and now my HD2 hangs and couldn't launch the HTC Sense app. Reading the responses above, it seems that it's possible to disable HTC Sense from Today setting in this kind of condition. However no matter how I tried to click on the "Setting" icon on the Start Menu screen, I only got the error window saying that the program is missing and we need to restore or reinstall... I couldn't connect the device to my laptop thru activesync to remove the registry since the activesync app (the switcher between storage device & activesync window) failed to load as well...
Could you please share how did you manage to go to the Today setting window to disable the HTC Sense? I couldn't see any other options since no other shortcuts are available, nor I can run any app from the start menu Is there a way to load HD2 standard WinMo OS in safe mode only...?
I'm really desperate on this situation and as much as possible I don't wanna hard reset my HD2 since I haven't done any backup yet...
Please help... Thank you very much in advance!
cheers
Im getting the unable to launch htc sense message too, even after a hard reset the problem re-occurs. can anyone advise me what to do??
Sorry, should have mentioned this above, I have not changed the registry setting of fatfs to anything other than 0, so this is not whats causing this problem for me. I have tried using a reg editor ro confirm the setting is 0 still no luck.
before the problem occurs i get an error reporting message saying theres been a problem with manila.exe
Any help pleeeease....

Mine has done exactly the same thing!! was working fine earlier on the way home from work, went to check it about 6pm and it had locked saying a problem with Manilla.exe had occurred... couldn't get it to do anything so took out the battery and ever since HTC sense wont load..
Everything seems fine, al programs work, phone is ok etc just sense wont load, was just about to do a hard reset after backing up data and removing card when i read this post so stopped...
Has anyone else had this?....
