Problem with File Explorer

This has happened to me several times.
I am unable to delete files properly on file explorer. When i try to delete a file, the wait icon (rotating colors) shows up. Then it never goes away!
When i force the program to close and turn it back on again, the file's gone so i know something's happening.
I tried waiting for the wait icon to go away but it never does. I left my XDA alone for 3 hours and it was still rotating.
Anyone have the same experience?
Programs installed on my device are:
SPB Pocket Plus 2.2
PHM Reg Editor
Microsoft Voice Command 1.1
NoviiRemote
Help!!!
~ishtangli

try using total commander insted it dont have those issues

Has it ever happened to you as well? Ran perfectly a couple of days ago...

Mine tends to be fine when I first rebuild it (and touch wood, some 5 weeks after it's still ok) but I definitely know what you mean. The file does eventually delete, but things such as deleting folders on either the phone or storage card usually involve closing File Explorer, opening and opening again before they disappear.

Yep,
I had that problem
Had to do a soft reset and all was fine, never had it again

Yes! I had that problem loads.
What Rom are you using?
I dont have any of the software you listed, and my problems didnt match the installation of any new software on my device either so I think its a rom problem not software.
I had 1.66 and no problem, then when I upgraded to a hacked 1.72 rom it happened all the time. I found you could delete files via the pc on usb, but not from pocket file explorer.
Reseting the device wouldnt make the problem go away, but a hard reset did.
After a few weeks it was back though.
Ive just gone up to the latest official o2 rom, ill let you know if it happens again.

I've recently started getting this problem on 1.60... It's been fine ever since 1.60 came out until a few weeks ago...
If I delete a file, close explorer and then go into memory and stop explorer (which then says it isn't responding), i can restart explorer and the file will be gone....
Another thing i noticed is that if i copy a new file onto my device using ActiveSync and have explorer running, it doesn't update to show the new file until i stop it and restart it!!

GSFinder+
Use GSFinder+ instead of File Explorer. Its a freeware utility. You can download it from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/gsfinder.shtml .
It copies/deletes files quite quickly.

ive got the problem, do a soft reset WITHOUT any sd card in..works fine then

HD2 unresponsive & trapped in a perpetual cycle of self deletion and re-custimization

HD2 unresponsive & trapped in a perpetual cycle of self deletion and re-custimization
I got my hd2 about 4 months ago and I have to say it's one of the best phones I've ever had, only now I have a serious problem with my ex =(.
Was running a slightly modified close to stock rom wwe, without problem (except the occasional freeze every other day) however, after attempting to install another room with cookie's homepage customizer, my phone keept freezing after about 5 min after the customization process was finished.
I thought this had something to do with the apps I installed just after the rom installation process. However, after some testing the same problem occur regardless if I install just the rom.
Have also tried upgrading to another newer OS version / rom & radio yet I encounter the same issue all the time; The screen will freeze and otherwise become non - responsive and after a restart the phone may not start ( freezing on windows orange screen), or it will start the customization process anew, somehow resetting all settings and stored content. .
Is my phone messed up for good? What are my options, please help!
Cheers,
Nate.
Update 25.3: SO I formated my phone with Task29 and reinstalled the 2.09 radio. Now starting to flash Kwbr_Topix_1.5.6 rom wwe. Will you know how it goes . .
Update 26.3: It's been 24 hours since I used task29, and everything seems fine. Thank you guys so much for the tip . . Now I may once again go back to using my great phone. Ty! xD

Anybody have any input?

Try using this to format your device.

Alright, thank you. I'll try that!

Do you have the autoinstall folder on you sd card? That could be causing the issues if something is in there thats not compatible anymore. Just a thought.

You mean like a ruu_signed file on the root of the storage card?

I second hicks, known problem, 90% it's just you needing a format of the internal memory with the task 29 utility

HTC Album keeps crashing

Hi guys, I tried searching and did not find any answers so I am hoping someone will be able to help.
A few weeks ago my HD2 (TMo US) was running great with CHT 1.7 and all other sorts of apps from XDA installed. When CHT 1.8 was released I took the leap as I loved v1.7 and thought v1.8 has got to be even better. I was right and all was perfect with the world UNTIL one dreadful day my phone froze when I was flipping through my pics with the Photo tab. No big deal I thought. Did a reset and tried it again to see if it was a fluke. To my dismay it was not and it happened whether I started the HTCAlbum app directly or used the Photo Tab. I thought it could be CHT 1.8 so decided I would wait for CHT 1.8.5 which was going to have all the bugs fixed. I did the ROM update to 2.13 and installed CHT 1.8.5 figuring a clean install would solve the issue. Sadfully that did not help. I did a hard reset again, DID NOT install CHT and Albums kept freezing after a few seconds. Sometimes I was able to get back into Sense but other times I had to reset the phone.
I figured it could not be CHT at this point but may be a SD card access issue. After another hard reset I formatted my SD card as that was where the pictures were stored. After loading the pictures back onto the card, I got the same results. I then moved the pictures from the SD card into main memory and same results. So some searching on the internet led me to a few post on HTCAlbums crashing but no luck in locating a fix. I also tried searching for a HTCAlbum cab file with no success. Just to be clear, nothing happens when accessing the SD card in any other way. I can read/write/browse in any other program as much as I want as fast as I want with the SD card or Device memory. Other pic viewers work flawlessly as well. Only when accessing pics with Albums causes the problem whether on the SD card or Device Memory so I am lead to believe something is corrupt with the HTCAlbums progam/files.
So after this novel I have two questions:
1. Do all the files on the phone get recreated with a hard reset?
2. Does anyone have an Albums cab file they can share? (Chefs please help!)
Suggestions are welcomed

If you hard reset the phone mate it will send it back to when you first got it or flashed a new rom, so will be fresh it will delete all data,contacts, pictures etc on the phone so back up, I think HTC album will be cooked in and not available separately unless you ask in a ROM thread

That is what I thought but even after 4 different hard resets and a TMo ROM upgrade I still have this stupid issue.
I guess it's worth asking in the ROM forum or learn how to load a custom ROM.
Thnx...

I made a post about this very thing last week...
For 3 months my phone worked great Not a single problem, other than my stupid mistakes.
Then out of the blue the HTC photo album just started locking up. After countless hard resets, and reading some of the replies on my post, I thought it might be a bad pic file. I removed all the pics and it still locks up when scrolling through the pics, and sometimes when starting the camera. I'm at a total loss on this one. I hope someone can come up with something.
For now I am just living with it, because I really dont want to take the phone back and take the chance of getting a piece of crap referb that someone ells had even more problems with.

me too.
+1 funny thing is i didn't even know that we had an album viewer until i hit it twice on accident and it came up then proceeded to crash. i found anotheranother place that offered a cab but it wouldn't install so it was no help and now i can't find it again.

I flashed the 2.13 ROM again last night and now the freezing happens ONLY when the Albumsearcher.exe is scanning for images. If use the file explorer to open an image the Albums program will read from the image files no problem and flips through them quite fast from both the Device and the SD card. The moment I start the Albums program or the Photo tab and tries to pull up the thumbnails, I get an error message for either Albumsearcher.exe or HTCAlbum.exe and my SD card is not visible until after a soft reset.
I can't say it is a SD card access issue as it happens only with Albums or more specifically Albumsearcher.exe? What I do not understand is why after the crash the SD is no longer visible on the device?

i had the same problam , i tried new roms still keep hapening
my solution was task 29 and now it works like a charm

you my friend
are leading me down a very dark path....lol
I started to read through the HD2 T29 thread and it seems it will solve my problem. This is what a hard reset should do in the first place. I still have some more reading before I take the plunge as I am not clear if I can use the tool without HSPL as my HD2 is all stock and would like to flash the stock 2.13 ROM. I also thought I read somewhere that if you flash a custom ROM you can't go back to stock. Does not seem right but I am heading over to the ROM FAQ threads so I don't screw anything up.
Thanks again bud for showing me the light

no worries mate , but according to my understanding if you install hspl it will avoid you r warranty
also have a custom rom downloded and the suitable radio allready insatalled
let me know if you want any more help il do my best to help you out

I will have to install HSPL and with 9 months left in my warranty period I think I can like without the Albums program. If I have more issues then I may change my mind.
That being said, I will take you up on the RESCO PHOTO offer. When you have the chance can you either post or email me the files? I will PM you my email.

The problem is with the sd card take off all your pics and save them to your computer. The problem is with the pictures sytored on the sd card, it causes crashes of the albums program. I went through 2 new phones,before that i discovers the common problem the same sdcard was used. I got rid of the pics and that fixed the problem.

hi i have attached the manila file with will tell the devise to open up resco insted of htc album, you will have to get resco your self as i cant give it to you according to forum rules sorry
copy the manila to windows directory and overrite exsiting file then soft reset
do this at your own risk , this has been confirmed working by me and other users where i got the file from
always back up the phone before modyfing anything
ps
and also put this the windows folder
you wil have to extract the file out of the zip

Thanks for the files. I found the RESCO app so no sweat. Rules are rules

HD2 certificate/component problem

Up until a few days ago, my HD2 was working fine. Then I tried to install Android. I used the one that you just copy to the storage card and run a file called zharet.exe ( !!NOT HARET.EXE!! ). I think it was Cotulla's ROM. First time, it crashed. Second time, meaning after I installed Radio ROM version 2.12, which is required (more specifically, 2.08 or above is required, but 2.12 was easier to find), it started and installed, then rebooted. Third time it worked and was able to send a text message to my stepfather. I switched back to WinMO to ask him if it got there, then I started Android again. It crashed, sending me to the boot screen of WinMO. Upon this start I was no longer able to run many files (executables), the running of which resulted in the message "The File *PROGRAM NAME* cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I have tried numerous fixes:
Soft reset
Reinstalling the applications
Seeing if .NET Compact Framework was installed; the phone claimed it was, but I couldn't find any trace of it and so I tried to reinstall it. I was not able to, so I "uninstalled" it from the phone, which still thought it had it; the operation took no time, so I doubt it was there in the first place. When I tried installing it to the phone again, it said that this version was already in the ROM. Also tried installing an older version of the CF, but it just said I had a newer version.
Switching memory cards (3 different ones)
Renaming the memory card and restarting, a fix recommended to some other people who had a problem with similar symptoms. It refused to cooperate and said that the memory card could not be renamed.
My next step will be to rename the memory card using a device other than the phone itself.
I don't want to hard reset as I wish to keep my messages and contacts, but if that's what is needed to "un-half-brick" this phone, I will of course do it. The way it acts now, I might as well have kept my n95.
It is worth noting that HardSPL should be installed, as it was required for the Radio ROM flash.
EDIT: HardSPL install IS verified, boot screen reads as follows:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
In this thread, Gargoyle999 is describing my exact problem: forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1882858
Keep in mind that this phone is Norwegian with Telenor as its carrier, although the phone itself is not locked and capable of using any carrier.
EDIT: The files that may not be run are mostly third-party ones, like MorphGear, zharet, Google Maps and so on. Most programs that came with the phone, like Copilot, Footprints and Opera work.
I am not too familiar with XDA, so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section or making some other rookie mistake xD

I am having the same issued on one of my HD2's...anyone??? Help!!!!

This is NOT and android problem.
I'm not exactly sure, but it's a security measure in WinMo that disallows unsigned programs from running after the system has crashed due to those programs running, probably to protect the system from malicious programs.
All you need to do is disable security on it. There are various thread on this site in different places that tell you how to. Personally, I found the mobile security configurations manager(windows) is the best way. Just plug in your phone in WinMo, using activesync, open the program, and load device. Then you can just select no security, and provision it. It'll overwrite all the proper registery settings and whatnot for you.
Also, GOOGLE IT. I found all this information myself just by searching "Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file" +windows mobile 6.5

Yes, yes Google it...I understand...But guess what? I did and found the same utility. And guess what? I got another error when it tries to install a cab file on the phone and for whatever reason the cab file errors out...I came here after reading and trying a ton of stuff and happened upon the OP's topic today.
Another thing is I realize it may not be an Android specific problem BUT prior to installing the mattcfroyo build and then attempting to test another build I didn't have any issue installing a cab file from the SD card. Also before anyone offers about installing another SD card I tried that also and no haps.
Weird and I am still searching for a solution but again XDA is the spot and researching here has not provided me with a working solution as of now....sssooooo...HELP!? Or not...

Look up all of the google registry fixes, and try every single one of them.
If none of them work and the program I recommended doesn't work, backup and hard-reset.
then, when it's done first thing use that program to disable security.
Also, most custom ROMs have security disabled by default.

Well I just went ahead and flashed a new rom and I am good to go...

I have tried your application. Got the same results as lstrike, error when installing CAB file. Also, how am I supposed to edit the registry when I can't run third party programs?

Will flash Miri's ROM soon. Any idea of whether or not that one has security disabled by default?

sigh i got the exact same problem after trying to run andriod.... any luck?

same problem here, did anyone face the problem then resolve it?

I found the solution !
When the error appears just go to marketplace, download the free version of Resco Explorer
(Resco was the first official registry app I found but if there's another in marketplace i guess it will do just fine)
After this open Resco Registry (included in Resco File Explorer) and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
Then go to 0000101a and change DWORD Data value to 1
Now every thing is perfect and you can open all of your apps
Good luck !

Thank you, this solution saved my day!

[Q] Processes use 90%+ of CPU

Hello all! I looked through the first 20 pages of threads, but no luck on finding my particular issue in any of them. I also attempted to use the search feature, but I keep getting a message stating that the service is unavailable. :/
My HD2 began acting up this past week with over heating/ battery drainage. Along with those symptoms I also get a lot of slowdown when trying to go through the UI or wake up the phone... At first I thought it was another Gmail update that was causing it, but after looking at the processes in the Task Manager I found that it was Manila.exe and VoiceCmd.exe that were eating up 90%+ of the CPU. I was wondering if anyone has any idea on what I can do about this situation. Can the files be replaced?
The phone was bought from T-Mobile about a year ago, and is running a stock rom that hasn't been updated to the most recent rom. I've tried a hard reset to try to fix my problem, but, alas, it still remains. The only thing that I have really done with this phone, tinkering-wise, is run a SuperFroyo Android SD card build. Would that be a possible cause of my problem?
Thank you for taking the time to read this. The following is what is currently installed on the phone, if more information is needed please let me know.
T-Mobile HD2
Manila: 2.5.20121412.2
Rom: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio: 2.10.50.26

Running a stock ROM for more than a year, that´s quite a long time...
Three things come into my mind as a possible hint:
1) Did you delete the "application data" folder before (or even after) making the hard reset? Sometimes, that data gets old... you can simply delete it, your system will recreate the files.
2) You added a new app, tweak or mod, even after the hard reset, which is incompatible. (Or, voice control is running wild?)
3) A hardware error...

might be worth a shot to start clean (do a hard reset again) and try this...boot up the device WITHOUT the sd card.
if that makes things better, check the sd card for errors. to be on the safe side, back up the data on the sd card and format it and restore your data and finally try the device WITH the sd card to see if that kills the issue!

Thanks guys, I tried what you suggested, unfortunately, my problem still remains. Would updating the stock rom to the new one that T-Mobile put out possibly solve anything? Would flashing an entirely different rom; Andoird Nand, Windows Phone 7 be a possible solution? I believe my 1 year warranty with T-Mobile is up, so going flash crazy doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Update: I ended up doing the rom update through T-Mobile, and I have yet to have any issues with CPU spikes since I did it yesterday. I'm currently running HyperDroid CM7 in conjunction with PortaDroid to run it from the SD card instead of Nand. It's working flawlessly so far, before it was crashing/ freezing left and right.
