Me again...hope I don't wear my welcome out.... As I had to hard reset my phone from previous posts....after connecting phone to computer..selecting USB connection..I copied everything from the microSD card over to a folder on my computer. As I restored the phone by a hard reset...and copying everything back to the phone, I am now missing the "personal" folder as well as everything I had in "One Note" on the phone. Evidently it wasn't copied over to the computer either. That's where I had all my downloaded cabs and programs. No big deal...I just downloaded the cabs again only this time I did it by computer then copied them to the "My Documents" folder on the phone. Now when I go to the documents folder on the phone...there's nothing there ...no cabs to install...they don't show up. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the cabs back on the phone so I can re-install without downloading them to the phone again? Geez...I'm dumb!

There's a My Documents folder on the phone, and one on the SD card as well...make sure that the one you're looking for them in is actually the same one you copied them to. And, remember, that while you have the phone connected to the PC in "disk drive" mode, you won't be able to see the SD card in the phone's windows explorer
SD CArd
Sirphunkee, you are good! I found all my cabs on the SD card and have succeded reinstalling them...Thank you. Now if I could just find my "One Note" notes....I would be ok....except for the nagging word suggestions as I try to type. I had that turned off before but I can't find it now.I looked under settings,locale & text, text input. Everything in there is off....don't know where else to look.

No problem...it just comes from experience, not aptitude
If you're using the plain stock keyboard to type with, you probably just need to flip the little "XT9/ABC" switch just to the left of the "z" key

Sirphunkee....thank you, thank you, thank you! What a relief to type now. That did the trick....no more word suggestions! Now...do you know where my "One Note" stuff went to?

No problem
I wish I could give you some good news about the One Note stuff, but from the way you described it, it sounds like those things were saved on the phone's memory instead of the SD card, and so they weren't saved to your PC and got wiped in the hard-reset. If you've dug around the card and the phone both and still don't find them, they're probably gone for good...unless by chance you had the myphone service backing stuff up, and had it set to include documents...?
notes
I guess the notes stuff is gone for good. Nothing on the SD card. I didn't see a choice in the phone to save anything in "One Note" to the SD card....it appears there's no way to save it to the card. Anyway, I really appreciate all the help here...you guys are great! Thank You.

It's all good
I might suggest that you give the myphone backup app a try, it can save you from losses like this in the future. It's in your start menu somewhere, just run it and look through the options menu in it...you can set it up to back up your contacts, text messages, pics, and even documents (like onenote stuff) on whatever schedule you prefer

I saw this on the startup folder. What does sddaemon.lnk do?
its speed voice dial. it links to sddialer.exe in windows folder
Hi
On my machine this links to \windows\sddaemon.exe
sddaemon.exe is the thing that site there in ram waiting for you to insert an SD card with pics - I dont know whether it looks for .jpgs or just a dcim folder in the root.
I have removed this from startup cause I am not interested in said functionality!
Nigel
Thanks for responding.
Veletron: So basically we can delete this off and there's no worry of any conflict?
Anyone else have some answers, so which is which?
I've moved the link to My Documents on the SD. Reset doesn't appear to be any faster. Nothing broken as far as I can see. Mind you, I don't use the Voice Shortcut anyway.

Done exactly the same thing...main thing it seemed to be doing was screwing up my notification queue - though took a few weeks of faultless alarm clocks before it decided to go mental. Took the shortcut out to My Docs and haven't had any problems since. Also, voice dial still works and I always leave my SD card inserted for TomTom / music.

OK, I just deleted it. Did not notice anything new. I'll keep checking out if it did change something.
Hey Whats up....i wus playing around with dialpad skins for my phone and for tha hell of it i installed a .cab for a "video" button on my dialing screen...i dont have 3g or anything i juss thought it would b a nice look....anyway...i soft re-setted my phone and now it just does tha whole t-mobile start up screen then "windows mobile"......then restarts again....cant seem to get it past any of those screens cause it juss keeps restarting....if any1 could help me out i would appreciate it...i really dont wanna do a hard reset
take ur memory card, you probably have something installed on ur memory card that's causing the loop.
Try using a file explorer (like resco or total commander)
and go into your Windows directory and rename a files called
omap850_sdhc.dll into omap850_sdhc.dll.old then soft reset your phone and it should start working fine.
this happens to me all the time, it only happens to me when i start messing with HTC home plug in. only way i found to stop the loop is do a hard reset. never tried removing the memory card in case any program in the card was causing the loup, ill keep that in mind next time this happens to me.
I can practically guarantee that the solution I posted will fix your problem if it ever comes up again
you are a lifesaver my dude...thanks so much...i was gonna lose all my numbers wit tha hard reset becuase i kept forgeting to sync my contacts on my comp but this worked perfect...made my fukin day lol...thnx again....1

I have a startup issue. Have to remove the card while soft-reset. Works fine once in WM6 and I can put card back in.
I don't have that omap850 file in my windows directory... any idea?
you need to use a different file explorer (resco, total commander) instead of the file explorer that comes with WM because it won't show .DLL or any other type of system files.
Awesome, got Total Commander. Works like a charm, no more pulling the card out!
Since you seem on the up and up with the Wing...
Any hidden files/temp crap that is filling up my device? I only have 5mb on my device and really not very many programs installed on it at all, my program files folder is only 6mb.
Thanks again for your assistance, much appreciated.

There's alot of **** filling up your wing that you dont need. haha. Are you still running the stock rom ? If so I'd suggest upgrading to a new one... personally, I'd reccommend ITJE's work.
ITJE's - Touch-IT 4.4
&
KEYBOARD FIX
I was considering Touch-IT - but for some ungodly reason they removed Internet Sharing!!! What the hell would anyone do that for? It's free laptop internet.
I also need exchange to work, live messenger and whatever else. I just can't help but think it will be daunting as I got my cube configured and everything. I'm curious though... does the wing run faster with Touch-IT?
Also says (I'm looking at 4.4 here) - that the Today items are disabled (can you re-enable??) and Adobe Reader? Why remove that? I use it all the time...
Ugh, lol... this is why I am swaying away from Touch-IT... but really, does it do that much performance wise or just free up some space? Because besides the phone being a bit slow, I got it rock solid config'd and it's heavily modified.
My only suggestion would be try out all the Roms and see what you think.
Personally, I'm a big advocate of ITJE's work.. You can install a cab for adobe ... I'm sure there's something for the internet sharing cab somewhere.
other idea
tried the above solution to no avail, so I did some more testing. found that what triggered it on my device was adding additional apps to the tray launch.
just thought i'd share hope it helps
Awesome. That's good to know.
But do you really think using these ROM's will speed up the device at all? Or just simply create more storage space...
The Roms definitely make the device faster.
The new TouchIT 4.4 is the fastest rom I've ever had on my device... and I've had the priviledge to have seen some of the things that ITJE is working on, and let's just say you should be extremely anxious to see what's next to say the least.
I'd love to use Touch IT, but I'm still very weary of the internet sharing. I can't seem to find the cab for it and again, what in the world would compel someone to remove unlimited internet capabilities from the ROM????
I'm reading through all the posts, and everyone ignores the posters who ask about internet sharing, kind of strange.... Is there some conspiracy I'm unaware of or something???
I compiled an InternetSharing cab for those of you looking for it.

Not sure if this is the right place, but I saw "Hacking" and thought "This must be it."
Anyway, I just fixed a Herald (TMobile Wing) with a broken LCD - now that I can see it again, it's saying that there's a password on it. The owner (my wife's friend) doesn't remember it, and has pictures on the phone of her kid that she would REALLY like to avoid losing if possible.
Is there any way to recover the password on these things? Obviously, a hard reset is not going to be good, since that'll destroy everything. I just need to find a way to get her back in so she can get her pics and address book off of the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...if this is the wrong forum, please let me know and I'll move my post.
Thanks!

As far as I can remember, a password won't lock down active sync connections so you could use active sync, copy all the files across and then hard reset.
Or possibly, set up a little application that copies all the files from My Documents to a storage card where they can be read by something else.

Unfortunately, ActiveSync is warning me "Your device is currently locked. To connect to or synchronize with this PC, please unlock your device."
I cant get into the phone at all....I think all I might be able to do is make an 'emergency call'.....
Thanks for the reply, though...I appreciate it!

No - I have one I can use, though - it's just never been IN the phone before....
My idea is to use a program to copy all the files from the My Documents folder accross to a storage card. This should be possible because the program that watches for the storage card to be inserted can start a process that can then copy the files. I have seen a program that does the copying somewhere but I can't remember where...

Hello all,
Long time fan first time caller
Can anyone tell me where the playlist you save with the HTC music player on the home screen tabs is located? Is it on storage card or phone itself? What folder / location?
Thanks in advance team.
You can find the playlists in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Playlists.

Thanks for this thread, I've been wondering the same thing myself. I'm having a slight problem though. I've made a custom playlist from some tracks on the phone but the folder you've listed is empty. I checked if maybe it was a hidden file but but there is no playlist in there.I've had to do a few hard resets recently and it's a real bugger having to make a new playlist every time! If anyone can give a definitive answer as to where I can find the custom playlist that would be great, or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance
Solved... kida
Hi and thanks for your reply maximus1111.
I have a solution, but its not idea.
The playlist data is stored in Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/Playlists
If you look in the playlists folder it appears empty but its there.
If you go into the audiomanager folder there are two files in there. Copy them and go to your storage card. Make a folder- call it what ever you want (eg HTC Playlist) and paste the two files in there.
If you lose your playlists in the device for some reason you can copy the files back from your storage card to the phone and you will have your playlists back.
If you want to delete the playlist in your phone and use the ones in your storage card, soft reset the devic. When it starts up make sure you do not open the HTC Music application (very important or wont work). Using file manager go to audiomanager in the phone and delete the two files. Then paste the ones from your storage card there and it will work.
Less than ideal and a bit of mucking around, but I have confirmed it works with my HTC HD2.
Thanks everyone. This is a great forum.

Ok,
Thanks for the tip. I've backed up the Audiomanager folder so hopefully, if I need to replace the playlist, it should work. You're sure that the playlist is in that folder though?
Thanks

hi, same here, no playlist in folder. i copied the audiomanager_eng.vol to my pc. when i look at it with a hexeditor, i see the names and path (eg. ZPlay \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\playlists\ZPlay) in the file. also i found all information about the mp3 files i have added to playlists (eg. \Storage Card\Audio\Music\ACDC - Backtracks - 08 - Snake Eye.mp3 Snake Eye). so i think htc stores everything in that file.
i think thats a good example how htc developers are ticking, instead of keeping it simple they make it as complicated as possible... spilling all the data the user have created all over the complete device. if i just want to save my settings i have to run around between a dozend different places on my hd2.

I know it sounds a bit wacky, but tried it twice and worked both times when I followed the procedure. As to why it works is above my limited intelligence.

I am willing to send both these MP4 files to anyone that is willing to help me out...I know that some of you members are looking for the movies and i honestly don't care enough to deny someone... so yea.. just send me a PM....
BUT!!!!!!
before i send you the movies.. someone has to tell me how to set up my transformers shortcut again....basically i removed the movies from my sd card.. and onto my computer (trying to save space) and then i realized that i'm not gonna need that much space.. so i put them back on my sd card... problem is.. the transformers shortcut on the homepage doesn't workj anymore... it gets me to the screen where i have to choose either Transformers 1 or Transformers 2.... and if i click either of them.. it says "media file not found" so yea.. i'm assuming that i have to do something in the registry that somehow links that shortcut to the movie files on my sd card.. so yea.. someone willing to help me out?? it seems like it wouldn't be that hard of a fix.. so yea.. please help
DO NOT SPAM MY INBOX FLOODING IT WITH PLEAS OFME SENDING YOU THE MOVIE FILES PLEASE... I WILL ONLY SEND THE FILES TO WHOEVER HELPS ME FIRST... AFTER MY OBJECTIVE IS COMPLETE I WILL GLADLY HELP ANYONE ELSE .. BUT MY NEEDS COMES FIRST... SO YEA.. SEND ME A PM WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS AND IF IT WORKS.. I'LL HELP YA OUT.. THANKS
Did you place the movies back in the same place as before? The shortcut just points to the files in X location and if they are not in that location it fails. You could probably just edit the exe to point to a different location.
feel like elaborating?? as in the process.. i'm no wizard when it comes to stuff like that...
Paste the shortcut in the windows/start menu/programs folder and you should be able to add it as a quicklink
k.. so i even tried installing the transformers cab... with the hopes that it might make it work after a soft reset.. nothing...i'm running out of juice guys.. any other suggestions someone wants to throw at me?? and i know i'm not the only person with a hd2 that removed the movies from sd card.. then tried to put them back on.. someone knows how to do this...please share
The movies originally went in Storage card > Transformers
The short cut in your start menu should have the following string;
25#"\Windows\Transformers.exe"
That exe file is the little home grown launcher program within which you select your movies.
I dont know if that launcher hunts for them or needs to know exactly where they are for it to run. I have not edited or looked at the exe itself.

SOLVED!!!
Just in case anyone else runs into this stupid issue and would like to resolve it...
But When i put the movies back onto my sd card, i created a new folder called movies... then i tried everything.. tried creating shortcuts, messing with directory etc... but nothing changed... it was getting quite frustrating...
but after reading 10332007's post, the folder that it was originally named on my sd card was not "movies" it was "Transformers" so basically right after i renamed that folder, soft reset.. Then "voila" the shortcut instantly starts working again... the answer was soo easy.. and right in front of my face.. i was just thinking that it was gonna be a little more complicated then renaming a folder... but yea.. so in case someone wanted to know that's too afraid to speak out... here ya go... cause i know i'm not the only hd2 user that needed it..
