Cant uninstall any programs ??

Well after applying a couple tweaks to my KJAM. I have a problem now, I cant uninstall any program. I go to add remove and select remove it then says cant remove, do i want to delete from program list. I also cant reinstall the same app...unless i delete the old directory manually. It seems to me that it is some form of read only protection. any ideas ??

I'm getting the same error as well. I used to have an app on my Jam that would uninstall files and its better then the built in uninstaller. Right now i'm lookin for it but can't remember its name..

i got the same problem

Same here :twisted:

I have had that problem as well. I have found that if I soft reset the device, then run the uninstall, the program is conmpletely removed without issue. I believe that this error is caused by something related to the program still running in the background.

Tried using ActiveSync to add/remove programs?

I too have the same problem and i soft reset to properly uninstall anything.

You can use SKtools 2.3.30 at http://s-k-tools.com/ to uninstall any program you wish to

works well? thanks for the suggestion

Maybe its running in the background when you uninstall it/ or if you have it there (installed) in the storage card it creates problems getting uninstalled.
Try to close the program fully By shutting it down from the Task manager..With the task manager open
Go to MENU>VIEW>CHANGE MODE
See if any instance of World mate is running there.
If you have partially uninstalled it, try reinstalling it and perform a reset.
Try to uninstall it by going to Add Remove Progs. in the phone.
If the problem persists, try removing it thru the Add remove progs. in the active sync.
All the best.

You are right jeasbe. I have installed my Worldmate to my storage card. I'm currently not using any task manager program. What would you recommend? Is memmaid one of these? I also tried uninstalling after the soft reset thing just to clean that worldmate was'nt running but to no avail of success in deleting it. Also looked at the running programs before deletion just to make sure it is not running. I even accidentally deleted the list from the rmove programs, and the program was still there. Is there any way to manually delete these files thru registry?

Literally Speaking the best method still would be to DELETE the folder from your \storage\Program Files\world mate (or whatever)
Then perform a fresh Install, this time in the Phone memory.
Then go for a soft reset.
Do not open World mate.
The world mate shall be there in the ADD REMOVE prog list By now.
Go to add-remove progs and perform a Remove.
Hopefully this shall delete the traces of world mate from your Phone.
U can manually delete the folder safely from ProgramFiles\world mate (from the phone memory this time)
Before U try anything stupid I suggest..Please do take a backup...
I take risks with my Data coz I have it spread over my other O2Xda as well as On My outlook....
All the Best

If I have to unistall some program I use the MemMaid. These program really erase what you want.

Thanks

uninstall problems

hi, i've got an mda-pro, unlocked and running the latest orange uk roms. i can never uninstall anything properly. i always get the message, this prog wasn't completely uninstalled would you like me to remove it from the installed apps list? anyone got any clues.
cheers
si

I have this too. It usually takes a soft-reset to free up the application so that I can then uninstall it. Can't figure out why.

Hi,
Use SKTools uninstaller...
Otherwise, a softreset before uninstalling and no more error message...

thanks guys - i'll try both!

Problems with sipchange on my X1

Hello,
I have a problem with sipchange. I installed it to set the Touchpad as standard keyboard. The install was ok, I can start the prog, but when I reboot my X1, he cannot start SIPCHANGE because of a problem with the security of an certificate. Now I want to uninstall sipchange but it is not in the list where I can uninstall programs. What can I do?
Greetings
Pluppi

Thats a tough one.... Umm did you try reinstall SIPCHANGE?

Hello,
I don´t know how to reinstall

Just throw the cab back on ur phone and run it from file explorer. Most likely it will say it needs to uninstall the previous version and even it fails to do so it fix what ever caused the problem.

If I do that, I get a message that it can not be erased, but I can install it if I want. If I do that and try it a next time, I recieve the same message

Do a hard reset, that will get rid of it.

Blacberry software removal

Hi, I made the mistake of installing the blacberry software.
It does not work, and all my IT staff are stumped.
I tried to uninstall it, but it refuses to uninstall, very frustrating.
Does anyone have any ideas? I uninstalled some of the software manually, but there are 4 programs still there that refuse to 'leave' and the icons in the settings pages are still there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Try SKTools or MemMaid.
Both of these can force uninstall and both come in free trial versions
