AHHH, Swype is gone... - HD2 General

I installed Swype 3.9 and it worked initially. I can access the menu through keyboard icon. I accidentally uninstalled it because wm7 skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.
I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear nether does keyboard menu. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have any idea to my problem? Anything can help.
Thanks!!

Let me know which one works best.

i tried both of them, but still doesn't work. I think the problem is either me unable to delete the program completely so the re installing program can't install the cab fully.
The program appears in application list as"swype-inc" but still doesn't create "Swype" folder in Program File listing in File Explorer. I don't know if that's the reason why the keyboard doesn't appearing
Hope that make sense.

Download PIM backup or whatever you use to backup your phone and save your contacts, messages, and whatever you need. Then do a hardset.

Sounds like your registry is corrupted.

MemMaid is a 3rd-party app that helps clean memory among other things...one of the features it claims it has is the ability to clean out the remnants of bad uninstalls...give it a shot and see if it clears out the old crap so you can fully install it again. Cab is attached, I think it's a trial version (time-limited).

I never done hard reset before. What does it affect? Would hard reset make all the programs currently installed in the device go away? or does it reset to original factory configuration? How about stuff in SD card? does it affect any data in the SD card as well?

It doesn't mess with your storage cards data one bit. You'll go completely back to stock on your phone like the day you bought it. Backup your contacts and what not using myphone or any other backup program you want. PIM Backup worked best for me.

How to perform a HardReset
Hard Resetting deletes ALL personal data and settings and restores your phone to factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing.
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

First of all, Thanks for all the advices guys.
I did the hard reset. I installed the swype cab file and it says it was successfully installed then did the soft reset. Unfortunately it didn't work. I have no idea why but holding the keyboard icon won't show the swype menu.... I'm so lost..... is this mean my hd2 is ruined for swype usage?
For some reason, after the hard reset, things are little different from when I turned HD2 for the first time... odd

This is the last cab I've got for swype. It's a long shot but give it a try.

Wait. You did a hard-reset and Swype wasn't already available?
What ROM are you running then? 'Cause all of 'em I've seen had Swype pre-installed.
If you did a true hard-reset, you should have to install Swype...

Start up of programs in on the Xperia

Hello my fellow Xperia lovers......and some haters! lol
Simple question....is there a way to remove a program upon a soft reset? I ask this because, i uninstalled the Inhand catolog thing, and when i do a soft reset, it comes up that the program InHandGo.exe could not be found and did not start up....which i don't really care, but i dont want to see that message every time i need to do a soft reset ><. So is there a way to either get rid of that message when soft reset is done, or just some how, fully and cleanly remove that program? I dont really see the point in having it....

The shortcut to InHandGo.exe remains in the startup folder after an uninstall. Just remove this shortcut and you won't get that error message again.
yup just remove that shortcut in \Windows\Startup and you are good to go!
That's also the program I have uninstalled first thing. Useless piece of crap!
How do i get into the \windows\ startup sorry? Im pretty much lost at this point...
EDIT:No wait....sorry....lol i figured it out...
Use the file explorer and go to \my device\windows\startup. It is just so simple!
Interestingly, I'm still experiencing the same behavior after I "uninstalled" that app and yet, when I went and check the Startup directory, there was no entry to In HandUpdater.
The error message I'm getting is "The file 'InHandUpdater' 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."
What am I doing wrong? Seeing the startup sequence halted because of this makes me want to go back and reinstall the darn thing - just so that I no longer see it.
Please advise. Thanks.
Have you tried installing the application again and then uninstalling. And then you have this program. Cleartemp is the name. It might help with cleaning all stuff left behind.
Same problem here :-(.
There is no shortcut for it in \windows\ startup and the message still comes up whenever I do restart the device!
How to re-install it?
OK, I reinstalled it and the message disappeared ;-)
To install go to "My Device/Program files/Handango Inhand/catalog" and run the file "inhand.cab"

Annoying Problem with removing programs (google navigator)

I have a problem that is completely driving me crazy....whenever i remove any program on my xperia ....there is always some files remaining in the program files, and being a perfectionist i always try to delete them, but get an error reporting that the file is in use, which annoys me even more because it means some process is still running
p.s up till now this happened with google navigator, and a tweak tool i downloaded from here before....plz help me , don't want to hard reset every time i want to uninstall a program !
why is it o body want's to help me ??
a) have you thought other people might have a reallife(tm) and not be on here 24hrs 7days per week ?
you asked less than 4hours before you post moaning?
b) this is not a support forum
c) you need to give more information
how did you install the programs?
how did you remove the programs?
what files are left?
have you soft reset after uninstalling the progs?
what software are you using to see the folders?
if you have files that are in use you need to soft reset.
I humbly ask sorry.....
Well to view the folders i use the normal file explorer....i did a soft reset but still on deleting the program folder it tells me it is in use....tried installin and uninstalling again google navigator (trial) but nothing, it also gives me an error on start up telling me the process could not be launched....is this normal.....
P.S: again i ask sorry for stressing so much to get a reply
i had the same problem. to solve it, use file explorer and go to: My Device-Windows-Startup, from there delete the file which have Agent written (something like GAgent, i forgot). After deleting it, restart (soft reset).
Then use file explorer to delete the google navigator folder
ok i deleted gagent and this solved the problem....bu there is another file....i don't remember its name precisely i guess sth like "GNagent" ....should i delete this one ... I tried to but i cannot .....and i accidently renamed it ....can you tell me its correct name ?, cause i'm afraid it's a system file :s

That's not a system file.
Also find, download, install and use total commander, there's either lots of cabs onthis forum for it, or search for the manufacturers website.
It's a Free file manager that's much better than the built in one. It allows you to overwrite files in rom amongst other things. It may well delete the file for you.
Total Commander would help at deletting softwares? that could be nice, for example, I installed the mtoday, and, I am not able to uninstal it...I do understand waht is a hard reset, but the soft one, sorry, this is still not very clear for me...If I would guess, would we need to make a soft reset, each time, we uninstall a software? does would help to clean after?
thanks you

soft reset is when you stick the stylus in the whole in the back, or turn the device completely off and on again.
If there's processes still in use on the phone then a soft reset will stop them being used, (unless they are set to start-up again automatically)
for example, if you install a dialler skin then want to get rid of it. After uninstalling you'll need to soft reset to make sure the dialler is not locking the files so they can be deleted.

Installation was unsuccessful

Guys help me please!!!
When i try to install some .cab file i've receive message ""Installation of [Program which is installing] for windows mobile.CAB was unsuccessful
I try to flash rom 2-3 times, but still makes the same problem
what CAB file you are installing? maybe the CAB file youre trying to install is not compatible for your device...

Any other advices ?

Try to hard reset your device this will restore everything back to standard
Hold camera and comms button press reset with your stylus keep holding buttons untill message appears on screen then release both buttons and press green send key
A message should appear saying formatting and your device will reset you will go through the set up like a newly flashed rom ie,, calibrate screen ect..
Or you can look on wiki for more
Also i see that you are having trouble installing those cab files you must make sure that the version you are trying to install is both compatible with your device and compatible with your windows mobile version
I fix the problem
Windows Vista makes me this problem, i tried to install .cab files on XP and everything works perfect
Thanks to all
Sorry for my bad English
arrrgh
nice to hear this!!!
no wonder Microsoft scrapped that crappy OS but now they are making an even worse pile of crap
I don't know about Windows Mobile but I had almost the same problem on Android, maybe this explanation can help you and you can look for your own solution then on the Windows Mobile side.

Installed swype...where is it?

The old keyboard still comes up. I installed the .CAB file and I don't know what else to do. help me Please be patient with me. Just switched from G1 to this phone literally 1 day ago. Still not used to 6.5 WinMO.
you have to either hold down the arrow key next to the keyboard button or hold down the button itself. When I first got my TMOUS HD2 I had to hold down the arrow key. But after flashing it to kumar, I just had to hold down the keyboard button.
it works! As simple as that seemed, I feel like a completely dumbass noob.
thread can be closed now

HD2 Limited functions, Cant hard reset.

Hi,
I have recently flashed my HD2 with the following firmware called :
_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_1.72.831.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship(2)
I got this from the HTC Website, after reflash all was good
After the reflash I used a program called "HTC Backup" to backup all my contacts etc from a file i created. After that backup was done, my HTC had only half the Icons on it, example when I go into Start > Tools .... there is NOTHING.
I have tried to Hard Reset, by holding Vol down, vol up and power button, the multicoloured screen comes up but does not prompt me to hard reset, so only thing I can do then is take battery out and put it back in, resets back to how it is... limited functionality with nothing under Tools.
Any help? My HD2 is pretty much useless now. i try to reflash again wtih it but I get error 260 cannot connect.
Thanks.
Bit of an update, Well I managed to get it to connect and reflash, but now I don't know how to get my data back.
I was highly recommended the program "HTC Backup" which is supposedly made by HTC, but the backup simply renders my HTC Useless, no Tools, No Settings.
When restoring, about 30 seconds while it's restoring, it just turns into the desktop, the program dissapears and goes to desktop, then you have nothing under "tools"
It's done it twice in a row.
Anyway of accessing the files stored in the "backup" file this program makes?
The program when restoring, about 10 seconds in just switches to the desktop, the desktop is now bank, no clock and nothing. when going into menu, there is no "Tools" and the menu is half empty half of the icons.
I'm wondering does anybody know how to access or decompile these backup files that the program "HTC Backup" creates?
Thanks.
has it restored your contacts?
see, what has probably happened is the backup prog has backed up all kinds of registry settings, and you have moved to a new rom, and those settings are no longer valid, and are screwing with the new rom. (you shouldnt copy tweaks and reg settings across from one rom to a new rom. its OK for hard resetting to the same rom, not a new one).
So, if your contacts are restored, and you can get enough functionality to do it, try to sync them off the phone now whilst its useless, (activesync to outlook, microsoft myphone, gmail or something, theres probably loads of ways,) and then do a hard reset, and after the new rom is in place sync the contacts back, meaning you arent running the restore program.
