Can anyone help with resolving this problem? The lower softkey backgrounds have changes to grey ISO black. It happened before with a game, but the the problem went when I uninstalled it.
Now the problem came back after I put CE Star on, but even after I removed CEStar, cleared the installation folders and soft reset a few times the problem remains. I could be wrong to blame CES, but it was the last program on before the issue came up.
I tried disabling and re-enabling touchflo, changing themes around and back to black etc. I left it switched off overnight to think about settings sticking but still no joy.
Grateful for any suggestions and thanks.
[Edit : It seems to have been caused by "big5vcs.tbl" and/or "GBxxx.tab" (xxx I forgot the full filename) being left behind in the \Windows directory. Deleting them and a soft reset resolved the softkey colour issue.]
I have the exact same problem on my HTC Touch HD. But idont have those 2 files you mentioned..does anyone know exactly why this happens? there must be some other file for me in my windows directory that must be causing it. how did you know which files were to be deleted?
I'm always wary when installing potentially incompatible programs.. especially with the HD and its huge screen. Take some time to poke around the windows folder and look for any orphan files. In my case suspect files as I named above were dated on the date/time I put CE-Star on, so I knew they should be safe to delete.
This still leaves room for error though, so be sure of what you're doing. I suggest you try to back track and remove software/revert settings changes in reverse order until you fin the culprit! Searching here may also help if you have suspicious programs.
Solved!
Great news..i'm able to solve the problem..now i have the black soft keys back! What i did was used Memmaid to see what was starting up with windows, and disabled the items i didnt need to start up..in my case, it was Mapking_sms.exe and batti__sumthing__.exe.
After disabling those, a soft reset got everything back in order again... fewh..
hope this helps other people as i have searched for a solution for this problem for weeks!!

i have just been testing out phone profiles. no sooner had i started to play around with it my screen started to flicker and the system kept of reseting itself.
has anyone else had this problem? :?
does anyone have a copy of 3.1 trial instead?
Is it really due to Phone Profile? I've also installed Phone Profile 5.0 on my XDA II, just last week. These two days it kept restart by itself, anytime anywhere. I tried hard reset the device but the problem still persist. I've no choice but to sent it for servicing, can only get it back in another two days.
I have not had any major issues with the Phone Profiles 5.5 trial download, but I cannot seem to remove the Program through the normal channels. Neither Active Sync, item grayed out and can't uncheck it, or via PPC removal process-says it is running, but it is not or at least I can't stop it.
Any suggestions?

i remember seeing something in another post regarding a .dll file in the \windows folder which is run on boot. renaming this file and doing a soft reset prevented this from reoccuring.
maybe you will be able to stop the process long enough to disable it. there is a free program called phm task manager which may give you a chance to end the task and rename the .dll
First solution is the right one.
1- When you try to uninstall it, remember the locking file name
2- Rename this file
3- Soft-reset
4- uninstall
5- delete renamed file
Seems to be a really usefull and nice tool but too much bugs for me: 2 popups (with IA-Caller ID) on incoming call, problems when tried to use my own template, no group-ringing... Had to uninstall too. I think I'll buy it when debugged !

hello guys,
i've got a little problem, a while ago my device started to "hang" on the startup, when soft reset my device it boots, but then, when the backlight fades away, and i wait a while my device is stuck on the "Windows Mobile" screen.
this doesn't happen when i keep pressing my touchscreen when the backlight fades away, but i find it quite annoying.
so i was wondering, has anyone got a solution for this annoying problem?
Thanks in advance
Greetings Richard

already did that and restored using a backup but it didn't solve anything
are you saying i should reinstall everything? :O would be quite ****edup
yep something in the backup you made is screwed, probably a startup program.
if you are able to get fileexlorer up before you soft reset after the restore you might be able to move all the shortcuts out of the startup folder to somewhere else then try putting one back each time until you find whats crashing it.
allthough a full reinstall of everything would be quicker and less work

thanks, mayb a noob question, but where can i find this startup map?
full reinstall would be more work i think, because i have alot of software on the device, so also alot of settings etc., so i think i'll go for option 1
Mostly they are in \Windows\Startup, and some may create system services which you can view (and disable) using TaskMgr (a freeware)
Hi,
I have a problem with my IE: everytime I try to go back (tapping the back button on the screen or pressing the left softkey) the IE shows the last website for less than a second and then closes itself.
I have soft resetted the trinity and uninstalled the last programs but nothing helps. The internet cache is not on the storage card and I have deleted all temporary files.
I use Bepe's WM6 (GER), have Pocket Breeze and Mobile Shell installed.
Any ideas what I can do to solve this annoying problem?
I remember reading a similar problem after installing a dictionary from Lingvosoft. I'd recommend making some searches on Google, since I remember them releasing a patch/fix for this problem.
Anyway, trying uninstalling any product from that company (if you have any), and see if it helps.
Good luck
Thanks,
you where right! It is caused by a conflict between pocket IE and Lingvosoft software. It can be solved by deleting ft_ctxm5.dll and ft_ctxm3.dll from the windows folder. There is a patch/fix from Lingvsoft as well.
My random access has stopped working. Contacts load up, but for some reason the bar across the side is gone! I attempted to reinstall it, checked the registry to see that the settings were how they were supposed to be, and they were. I finally just installed another .cab i found for random access and it just made it so my contacts wouldn't start at all!
luckily i had backedup earlier today, but apparently the problem was then too because i still don't have random access. If anyone has any ideas i'd love to hear them.
Here are the files for the non cab random access. Open the file names up on your computer and go into the windows and delete them as well as uninstall the cab you have.
If you want to reset your registry back to normal? Here is the origional key
":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"
You can also remove all the stuff and soft reset. make sure your contacts work and then drop all the files but the note into \Windows. redo the reg edit, you should be good.
Here you go. Let me know if that works.
where can i get the cabbed version? every download i get is the non cabbed version, and i can never get it to run, thanks
I figured it out, could be help other people who can't ever seem to get random access to work.
In contacts go to Menu - Options - Uncheck Show alphabetical idex
That fixed the problem for me.
I'll just save my swearing of HTC programmers for later, for now I'll just cut to the chase:
One of my albums that I've synced by using WMP didn't have a thumbnail visible in sence Music Player. I had the .jpg picture for it, but it wouldn't work (I'm assuming because the album was a 2 part one, CD1 and CD2). So I've simply copied the .JPG to both the folders and renamed it ~hTC_Albumname.jpg
It was quite a long name but there should not have been any problems since their names were different (the second one had CD2 in the end).
Right after I've done that I went to the sence player and clicked play on the album. Then SENSE crashed and now, even after soft reset it can't start!
I've deleted all of my .mp3 files from /Storage Card/Music
I've deleted all Temp files by hand and via ClearTemp
I've performed soft reset a dozen times
I've tried deleting the Applicaton Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng but the .vol file is used by a service and can't be deleted.
How do I proceed to restore Sence? I don't want to perform a hard reset as I have extreme amounts of settings in comparison to small amounts of time.
Any suggestion on this matter is greatly appreciated
I have really no idea how to solve this, as a matter of fact I'm not quitte shure if I understand what is happening here.
But my first thought was: to eliminate if your problem comes from your SD-card or not, why not remove it and start your device without it?
Hope this may be of help to a solution.
Goodluck,
Fred
When you say sense can't restart. Do you mean that it tries to start and then crashes or it that it doesn't bother to start at all. If it is the former; do you get any kind of error message? If the latter; have you gone to your today settings and made sure sense is still enabled?

It tries to start normally but it doesn't, it retries a few times and then just writes a message: Unable to start sence, tap here to try again. Of course the tapping is to no avail. I will try to format my SD card tomorrow to see if it does any good... Damn what damage a little .jpg can do...
might be time for a hard reset.

I highly doubt formatting the SD will have any impact. It sounds like the registry was somehow corrupted. I've also read about the "Unable to start sense" error happening to people after they sync their phone.
I have another question though. What ROM are you using?
Unfortunately my friend, like posted you may have to hard reset. Occasionally when trying a new modification (something in Sense for example) my Sense gets broken. It will try to start a few times then I would get that message, to date I have found no solution to fixing Sense if it won't start so I am forced to hard reset. Sorry I wish there was another option. If someone knows please chime in
Many times when sense gets "broken" it's due to a corrupted file or registry entry. This can happen from a bad cab install to a messed up tweak. Also, some custom roms that are optimized for speed have modified buffering so a crash at an unlucky time may cause file and registry corruption that breaks sense. If you can pinpoint where the problem occurred, then a fix may be possible without a hard reset.
Although a hard reset WILL do the job, I like to think of it as an absolute last resort.
Don't know if you have CHT installed, but I avoided a hard reset by re-installing CHT when having the same problem with sense. Something I did corrupted a CHT file I am guessing. Also, I could not import my saved CHT Editor settings, as sense would not start after import. Just skipped import and was back to normal.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try this immediately. I've already started looking into custom roms/radios. I'm currently using stock 1.66 with a 2.07 radio.
EDIT: Thank you so very much, it worked!! I'm guessing that I've overlooked tha fact that on one level of CHT I had the media player plugin. I'm guessing my messing around didn't brake sense's media player but the homescreen CHT media player plugin!
You are most welcome.
