"unable to start HTC Sense" - HD2 General

I've searched the forums all day and there doesnt seem to be an answer, basically when i turned on my HD2 today it would not load Sense on startup, it keeps trying then eventually comes up with "Unable to start HTC Sense, tap here to try again" i've tried that about 30 times and still nothing! anyone have any ideas of how to get it to start? (checked my startup folder and there isnt much there)

I had this once, after installing and uninstalling a mod which fu**ed up the system (donĀ“t remember which one). Only a hard reset could cure, but then again, maybe a much more experienced WinMo user could have solved it better...

I had a similar problem where I would re-start my HD2 and it would get to the screen where it loads Sense then it would re-boot. This would keep going round in cicles until I removed the battery.
It turned out to be MobiReg 1.11. I had to do a hard reset and not re-install this app.
I hope this helps.

Hi, I am author of that application and I must confess that this is first news that my application can cause this. If you are in mood for debugging, I would like to verify that issue and to discover root cause of this behavior.

I ran into the same problem with my HD2 with this app. Although mobireg did install and run for a while just fine on it for a while. So I think the cause of it was another program which I had installed. It was more for an older windows mobile version and I don't think it was for sense either. I don't recall the name of it but after I installed that my HD2 started to restart over and over. And after I wiped it clean it would still restart over and over whenever I had reinstalled mobireg.

If you have CHT, try reinstalling it. Has worked for myself and others.

I second it...It worked for me..

I'm having the same problem I've checked and unchecked HTC sense, re-booted, removed battery, re-installed CHT and still nothing is working. I go from one problem to another with this phone and i'm no computer wizard but a phone shouldn't be this much hard work.

If you've tried all the possible solutions in this thread and had no luck then Im afraid its hard reset time...
Any recent installs or did it come out of nowhere? (CHT / sense mods??)
edit, just noticed your cht comment.
Try installing a different version of cht.....(older or newer depending on which one you used last)
Long shot but you never know.....
Also try logging out of HTC peep and disabling the twitter tab from "settings - personalise - sense tabs"
just in case that up to its old tricks.........

New bug in TouchFlo3D with weather forecast?

I noticed this evening something strange. I wanted to check a weather forecast on my HD, but when I scrolled to the specified tab, I saw the screen comming up (no weather picture comming up though, and the button Update now was there, but not functioning at all) but nothing happened for a few seconds, and Touchflo3D hangs completely with the following error:
Wer're sorry
A problem has occured with manila.exe
blablabla
Send - Don't send
The stock forecast is working properly though.
Anyone experienced somehting like this as well, or somebody know what I can do to resolve this? I already tried to unload as many programs to be sure that those could not cause it. Also I have not installed something before that happend (at least that I'm aware of, but I don't know what the last time was I could access the Weather forecast correctly actually). The last program I installed was Igo8, but that isn't related at all to that, isn't it... I also reset my device, but the problem is still there...
I hope someone can help me with this. Otherwise I have to hard-reset my HD again, which I don't want to actually....
Thanks in advance.
GreenFrog
Anybody who can help me with this? Is there maybe something I can check in the executable of Manila, or just a part of it. Or can I re-installe the weather app in some kind of way?
GreenFrog
I've never experienced the issue that you are describing. Did you try a hard reset? Perhaps that should suffice for now until someone acknowledges a fix.

Well, that's just the part I want to perform at last. I did a hard reset about a week ago, and have everything installed again; would like to keep it and try to fix only the weather app; that's the only one which is causing the error.
Hmm, I thought I had the answer by deleting the database cache for within \\Touch HD T8282\Application Data\HTC\databases, but still not. Although I'm a little further now, in the meaning that I can see the picture within the tab, but when it tries to update, manila hangs completely and TouchFlo3D restarts again. But when the cache is deleted, and I hook my HD up to my pc and it wants to try to update, it sees there is no connection and comes up with the screen to retry or not. If I select 'No', I can come into the menu, also when I've disconnected it from my system... and keeps running, until I click update again of course...
Have to see what the next part could be. Although the weather application is not that important, I really like to know what could have caused this...

hey guys.
I have problems by adding up locations to forcast list.
after choosing country (us) the city list doesn't scroll down and keep going up to clorado spring.
any idea???
hi greenfrog. i discovered i'm having exactly the same problem you have. have you finally found a solution to this? i hard did a hard reset and installed things (nothing weird) and it happened. i was ok right after the hard reset though...

Oh mine does that too, did you find a solution?
as a matter of fact, i hv both greenfrog and nadar-1's problems.
but nadar-1's problem can be manipulated by "holding the scroll"..though i know there is still a limit.
the weather tab crash with manila.exe error is more serious.
Hi Greenfrog,
I solved my problem. My crash was caused by a tweak in Regional Settings I did. Hope it helps your situation.

App Launcher Not Adding Apps

Ok, i have an elf. of the phone variety.
No funny hats or curly shoes with bells on.
On the third panel of the HTC today screen,
the app launcher, it will no longer add anything.
I can click on the plus icon, and it will show me
a selecion of programs to add, but after clicking
"select" or "ok" it still wont show the item in
the launcher.
Anyone else had this problem?
More importantly, has anyone got a solution?
(and i have searched the forum. found nothing)
LOL....no really? I thought you actually got one of santa's little helpers
Hmmmm....never heard of that one. Did you make any changes to the phone recently? Install something, flash a new ROM? Have you tried soft resetting the phone? Also try to disable the HTC home plug in and then try to re-enable.
well, i did capture one a couple of years ago, but some rights organisation said it was politically incorrect for me to keep it, so i had to let it go.
anyway.
ive not changed the rom in any way. ive only just got it a couple of days ago.
but ill now try disabling it and enabling it again. see if it helps.
thanks for the idea
ok, nope, turning the htc home off and on again didnt work
and i didnt really keep anything and pretend it was an elf.
my previous comment didnt come out sounding sarcastic enough.
any other ideas?
If you havn't got HTC Home Customizer = get this and install on your device.
Not only can you customize the HTC Home plugin to make it prettier you can also add your app shortcuts through HHC and see if they will add that way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
This is the link to HTC Home customizer XDA - This link aslo has link to official site - it is freeware and worth downloading and installing anyways.
well, thats a prety fantastic program. Ive finally been able to get rid of that weather tab that i never use.
Sadly, whenever I try to add anything to the app launcher through the htc home customizer, it throws an error and closes.
???
:edit:
Fiddle-De-Dee
Just played with it some more and got it working ok.
i was making a silly mistake with the HHC.
Thanks for your helps folks.
sounds like something got really messed up on your device, probably a registtry change or another app is causing conflict.
Did you get this device brand new?
Have you installed anything recently? If so Try uninstalling it and see if it is working properly now?
Have you been playing around with changing registry settings? If so, try changing things back to the way they were originally.
Maybe if you got the device used, someone else had made these changes.
A hard reset will reset the device back to factory settings and may solve your problem. Unfortunately, you will loose everything you have put on your device, apps, contacts, any customization. You may want to look into backing up some of your data before performing the hard reset. Once hard reset is completed, you can add your custom apps again and start customizing again. No big deal really if you have not done much with your device yet. I have had to do it twice on my device - Just time consuming since I had a lot of customizing already done and had to redo it. Now I know to back up my data before doing a hard reset.
edit: I was typing this reply before you edited your post. Glad to hear that you got it working. Enjoy

Well,this sounds familiar Same thing happened to me countless times after installing various things.The only solution would be a hard reset (If you don`t know the procedure do a search on the forum). Remember to back up your data! I can't comment on Navigon, never tried it.Try to uninstall and launch sense again.Do a soft reset and if it still doesn't work,try a hard reset. It`s the only solution I can think of now so... ) Good luck !
First off, do a search for "unable to launch HTC sense".
Try the possible solutions in that thread.
Try also booting without SD card.
Manually disabling / re-enabling sense.
Uninstalling CHT (if you use it)
Hard reset may be required however these things can usually be solved without one if you have the time and patience.
Hope that helps.
Uninstalling CHT finaly did the job. I was ready to hard reset my HD2. Pffff.....
Tnx for the info conantroutman.

Help! My HD2 cant wake up

i dont know what to do. ive rebooted the device about 5 times in the last 2 days. it will will go in to stand by mode and the screen will turn off as it should but when i try to press one of the keys the screen stays black and only the keys are lit up. sometimes if i wait about 30 seconds after i keep pushing it, the lock screen will come up but its a big pain.
the only thing i have installed on it is CHT 1.7.1 CHT editor 1.7.1.2 and Anastasia CHT theme. i had a bunch of other stuff but i didnt reload it since my last boot because i thought that may have been causing the problem.
What can i do?
which rom are you on? can you hard reset and run just stock for a few days and see what happens?
I honestly think the sleep of death is lock related imho
I believe there is already a thread on this. Try disabling the auto lock function on your device. I had the same issue and this resolved it for me.
It seems that the device won't bring up the slider bar to unlock the phone, the screen is locked out to avoid accidental key strokes, and that's why the hard keys still light up but you get no display.
You can try uninstalling CHT and see if that makes any difference, it has for some people when trying to fix this issue.
Another thing you can try is this:
Go into Settings -> All Settings -> Today, and on the "Items" tab, make sure the "Today timeout" box at the bottom is UNchecked. It's not a guaranteed solution, but it has cleared that problem for some.
Your feedback is appreciated
ok well it seemed like my texts were slowing it down a lot.. i wish there were settings to erase them automatically.. besides that everything is perfect now
Did you install ANY version (including 2.07) of the FileExplorerExt mod, or even the combine fix (0.3)?
I had nothing but problems with my phone until I uninstalled it. Even the supposed fix in 2.07 doesn't work.
After removing this application, I haven't had a phone freeze/lockup/refuse to wake up in over 2 weeks.

Yes, the issues with those extensions happen when you either (fully) close file explorer while it's pointed at the SD card, or let the phone sleep while it's open and pointed at the card. If you just hit the "up" button when you're done using it, so it's pointed at "my device" again, you shouldn't have those issues anymore.
Good work sir

So I have been running without cookies for a little while. I flashed to the new ROM and have been SOD free for about two weeks not. Not a hiccup. Dont know if it is the new ROM but I know when I uninstalled cookies it helped a lot. Im thinking maybe wednesday I will install cookies back. Maybe the new ROM fixed sense enough to allow me to re-install cookies.

Yeah, I'm anxious to hear the results when you try CHT again, especially with the new ROM.
Were you ever running the fexplorer extension(s) mentioned above? It hadn't occured to me before that that might be behind some of the lockups people experience.

I had Co0kie installed for 2 weeks (on original stock ROM) and had no SOD. Only when FileExplorerExt was installed did I have that issue. As of the new 2.13 ROM, had Co0kie installed and still no lockups. I installed the 0.3 combined FileExplorerExt fix last night and had SOD within 15 minutes. After uninstalling, been running without SOD ever since.
Unless you have a corrupt Co0kie install, I don't think that's a problem, thought nobody can totally rule it out. Seems every phone is different.

No I recently read about those fexplorers but never got around to trying them out. Seemed a little unnecessary for me. At one point after uninstalling I installed diniks icons and slider and it was still running great?! idk... I will keep you posted.

.CAB request: Tmobile Help/My Account **SOLVED**

Hello folks-
I flashed the new update and things have been nice and steady. The only problem I've had is I cannot access the My account or Tmobile applications. I have shortcuts to them and when I click on them I go to a page with an anime guy holding a phone and a message in the center of the screen says "The My Account application will be downloaded shortly". The only button I can hit then is an exit button. I leave the phone active for minutes and have wifi on, as well as data connection. Nothing else happens. It seems like this is odd behavior and wondering if anyone would mind making a .cab.
Thanks for any responses!
EDIT!! I used Doc's MMs fix-which I believe tells Tmobile that my phone is not a HD2 (used for tiny mms messages problem) and I then tried the original My account and tmobile help applications and both work perfectly. How about that?
Anyone willing/able to try this?
I've had the upgrade for almost a week now and I still cannot access the problem. It says it will be downloaded shortly, and never is. I called 611 and customer service has no clue. As a side question, I believe I installed the upgrade fine, but perhaps I somehow messed it up? I made a connection to activesync, removed sd card, did update, but once it was all done and was rebooting, i disconnected the usb cord to the computer. Could this have possibly screwed up the My account application? Everything else works fine.
There's been other reports of the same issue, people on the new ROM having trouble getting the myaccount app to do it's update so you can use it. I haven't seen any solutions yet, but it's in a thread in this section somewhere.
I don't believe you screwed up your new ROM at all...if it's fuctioning in every other way than this, there's no other issue than the unexplained one that you and others are experiencing.

Thanks, I've figured as much. I've also seen a handful of people having the same problem (on other forums as well) but often this resolves itself on its own. Keeping my fingers crossed-it's more annoying than anything else.
Im good!
Myaccount works fine on mine, and it never downloaded anything. I just open the app and it works just fine, maybe the app is whats wrong not the whole update. i dont know how to make a .cab or i would do it for ya. any suggestions on how to do it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653563
In here. Worked fine for me after instaling the CAB (look down the list a bit).

You used the one from 2.10 on the new 2.13 ROM? I just wasn't sure there wouldn't be any issues there
Went to the store today and changed out Sim cards just to try it. Same problem. The rep at the store said that a lot of people were having trouble with the application-even people with blackberries who just got the application for their platform. Who knows? I may try the cab just to give it a whirl. If I try it and subsequently uninstall it, I imagine it'll revert to my .13 application which is hard cooked into the rom right?
*update*
I tried the .10 cab and it worked fine. The icon was slightly different, but otherwise worked fine. Tmobile help (purple question mark icon) still wouldn't work, but the my account does. Thanks

I never tried to use that app before, so I went ahead and gave it a try. I got an error right away. I just did a soft reset and then it worked. YMMV.
Still require TMOUS 2.13.531.1 "My Account" CAB
I've just installed the T-mobile "My Account" Application from the previous thread (Leo_MyAccount.cab - MyAccount 2_9_2_5_87341_0 according to the CAB xml) on FroyoStone sense V2, and I get the guy holding the phone and the message "The My Account application will be downloaded shortly" message for both Help and My Account apps. It worked fine on the stock TMOUS ROM 2.13.531.1.
I assume this CAB is a backrevved version? What is the fix for this, or does someone have the real CAB from the 2.13.531.1 ROM?
