annoying issue with installing programs on SD card

Whenever I install a program on my SD card, sometimes the icon of that program is not being displayed in either the 'start' menu or in the 'programs' folder. Instead of the correct icon a blue-white icon is being displayed. The program however can be started. I know this is a minor issue, but annoying nevertheless
Installing programs on the Extended Rom causes no problem at all, but since the extended rom a fairly small I'd like to use my SD card as well.
Can anyone pinpoint me if this a bug or a way how to prevent this from happening?
thanks!

Thanks for posting this issue, I have the same problem. :? I didn't find a solution so far, hopefully somebody tweaked this already. Let's see...

Problem with CardExport II

Hi guys!
I'm usin' Card Export II 2.19 on my Jamin but it seems to doesn't work with big file (> 100/200MB). :-(
When I try to copy huge file (zip or ather extension...) on SD of my Jamin, it goes in freeze status and the only way is soft reset... :-(
P.S: On SD there is a lot of free space...

I've never tested this. But I've had another problem with this app since version 2.18. The program was shown in task managers and functions like "close all" closed also this program (the tray icon). I've informed the support already in July, but it seems that they are still not able to solve this.
Now I'm using WM5torage and I think it's much better:

But I don't know if it solves your big files problem.

Advanced configuration tool on HD2

Did anyone try the advanced configuration tool on HD2 and can please tell if it works?
I am not sure about trying it because I've read that some not compatible programs can disable sound or bluetooth on device...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151

i've tried it and works fine to me, check out BsB Tweaks 1.6 too!

Thanks for answer
I am using BsB tweaks yes, I just wanted to know if it's smart to install advanced configuration tool which is not compatible with hd2, at least it's not confirmed it works...

Well, it crached mine
Well, I tried it yesterday and it totally messed up mine Leo.
I was getting tons of Application Errors and HTC Sence simply wouldn't load.
Had to do a Hard Reset.
Before actually making changes I have exported them using AdvancedConfig, but even restoring those did not solve the issue.

Hi,
I have installed ACT v3.3 on my brand new HD2. I also used this program on my Touch Dual and I especially liked the function where you could automatically let the data connection quit after a certain amount of time.
However after enabling this setting on my HD2 it does not seem to work. Do you guys have any idea why this is the cause or do you have any suggestion for another program which does the same trick (quiting data connection after X minutes).
Hope you can help me out with this one. Thank you in advance

I think it needs netcf 3.5. Did u install it too?

Yes I installed that too, without it ACT won't even launch. But I installed a spanish netcf 3.5 on a Dutch phone. But I don't think that will cause any issues.

Tried and tested. Works okay. I only needed it to disable threaded SMS, CAB Warnings, and Task Manager refresh rates. I guess you would be fine as long as you won't edit seemingly "outdated" tweaks, i.e. Touch Flo 3D as they now call it Sense.
Point in fact, ACT should only be editting registry entries, and display entries it finds. Which means, theoretically, it should work flawlessly for everyone pre-WP7, but I guess that's not the case for some here...

My Manila is doing something... but what?

Right... I know that my Manila is busy doing something, because:
it takes forever to load;
my phone is terribly slow while Manila runs;
battery drains like hell with Manila running;
if I replace it with the default WM6.5 theme, my HD2 becomes responsive again.
I've checked the Task Manager, but no process shows in there. I guess only processes initiated by the user would show, anyway...
So, my question is: is there any way to know which system processes are running, and how much CPU they're using?
Thank you!

What have you installed on the phone? I'm guessing that something that runs with Sense is doing it since this isn't a problem with Sense in general.

I've the same problem, and I think it's the update of facebook's contact

As expected, it's Manila.exe, running at 98% of the CPU.
I'm on stock ROM 1.61. List of the software installed:
Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch
ctrlPDA pinch2zoom
Mach2003 GpsModDriver
Microsoft TagReader (version modified for HD2)
PHM Registry Editor
NetRipper TorchButton
HHotFix LEO07268_621
HotFix LEO07664
Microsoft My Phone (updated version)
Lotus EasySinc Pro
Ganondolf CrayonPhysics
Google Maps 3.3.1
BsB Tweaks 1.6
M.S. Pearce ProcessManager
Started to exhibit this behaviour as I tried to connect to my company's network, but it has done it before in other situations where there were changes to the registry.
Is HardReset the only way out of this? Is it possible to re-install just Manila?
ccristal

If it were me, I'd uninstall everything in the Remove Programs list and do a soft reset. If you're gonna do a hard reset then you need to install everything anyway. I think it's something that you've installed that's causing this problem.
Let us know how you get on.

I have this behaviour as well from time to time but I couldn't think of anything causing it. My first assumption was "my phone sync" but I've deactivated it for a while but it occured again!
it only takes ~1 up to 2 minutes and then its back to normal and it's not happening frequenly.
really weird!!!

I can say for sure that it's nothing I installed, but rather something I did while I used the product. When it happened, I was trying to connect to a wireless network using a certificate. And I have done the same thing before several times, without any problem.
The feeling I get, reading posts here and there in this forum, is of a generalised unstability of Manila, which is a shame because it's a great app. Would it be possible to install a ROM without Manila, and then install it as an application, in such a way that, should it happen again, I could just remove and reinstall it? Is this pure fantasy, or is it feasible?

If you think Manilla is the problem why don't you just switch manilla off and run with the plain winmobile interface to see if that confirms what you say or not?

Done. It *is* Manila. As you can see from one of my earlier posts, it goes quickly to 98-99% of CPU.

I've been experiencing this problem, too. I've narrowed it down further. It's got something to do with Manila indexing the MicroSD card. It started for me after I copied 8GB of music over. I've since removed it, but it still eats CPU. Popping out my SD card drops CPU to 0%.
*EDIT: FIXED*
I'm not sure what fixed it out of this, but I removed the HTC folder from my SD Card's Application Data folder, and removed any album.cache files and ini files in the My Pictures folder. Afterward, Manila.exe took up about 90% CPU for 30 seconds to reindex, and then dropped to normal.
*EDIT: One other thing*
As it turned out, there must have been something on my SD Card that was offending the index. A few hours later it was back to using the CPU. I cleared my SD Card, and formatted it, and the problem has not reared it's head again. I will begin selectively copying stuff back over until I figure out what it was.

Hey, I had the same problem. I've found that the camera and the photo tag, CAN'T read two pictures with the same name. That was freezing my hd2... Also, I tryed to rec a video, and a quarter of the vid was recorded... the rest was lost...
The manilla is a little bit buggi... so, be carefull.
REMEMBER: Check the picture count... or it will create a file example: img0001.jpg and if you have a file with the same name in other folder... You will have the same problems.
Delete album.cache to be sure.
hope this help

I too found this thread enormously useful - I was experiencing the same symptoms: very high CPU usage from Manila making the phone unusable. The problem only occurred with an SD card in the phone.
I fixed the problem by putting the SD card into a card reader connected to a PC and just 'tidying up' a bit. Not sure about the pictures with the same name (it's possible that I did delete some), but some files that I particularly noticed deleting were:
.MENC encrypted files from another Windows Mobile phone
"MSDRM" details - again from another phone
I didn't clean it up in a scientific way I'm afraid, so I can't pin down the cause - but it might be worth a try to remove these files if you're experiencing the same problem? (Naturally, keep them somewhere else if these files are of value to you - you may still need them in your other phone!!)
Hope that this is helpful!

HTC HD2 Problems and Solutions (if any)

Hello guys. I am starting a new thread to report problems encountered with hd2 and share the solution, if you were able to solve it. Please report only problems or bugs found in stock ROMs or hardware problems. For custom ROMs you have their respective threads to report a problem and for general questions please visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575604. I will add common problems to the list below. So here we go…
LIST OF PROBLEMS
1. Audio Booster won’t stays ON.
Solved in the tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
2. Memory card corrupted
Now more and more people are having this problem with their 8gb Sandisk supplied by HTC. No solution yet.
3. While composing sms it jumps and highlights last sms
It still records what you are typing but you cannot see until you tap on the message you are composing. No solution yet.
4. Weird liquid like spot on screen
This can only be fixed by sending phone for repair, i.e changing screen. Warranty does cover this problem in some cases from what i've learned from users reporting this problem.
5. Audio delay
Although not every users seem to be getting this problem HTC has acknowledged this problem. This issue should be overcome in future ROM according to HTC. For further information visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6087471

reserved for future use

Ok I start with the problem I got. My 8gb sdhc corrupted the 1st week I started using my hd2. Every time I start my hd2 or insert the card the phone says I have to format the card to use it and when I format it using the hd2 itself it says formatted successfully but the phone won’t read the memory card. If removed and re-inserted again it says that I have to format it and the cycle goes on and on. Computer don’t detect the card, so I’m not able to format the card using pc. I think other users got this problem too but I can’t recall well. So if this is a common problem I will add this to the LIST OF PROBLEMS.

Audio booster fix doesn't work fo me or any of my friends. We are all running stock rom's. It will shut-off in middle of song, or anytime.

1: GPS Photo latitude is incorrect when you are in the southern Hemisphere , because EXIF details have the latitude value as a negative value.
You need to use the registry hack to get the GPS photo mode, that's why it's not officially supported by HTC.
2:
this problem
To reproduce the problems with 30 SMS,
1: use another mobile to send 30 SMS to the HD2, with the current Hong Kong ROM that is on the HTC website, which you will be testing.
2: press power button to turn on the phone if it is not turn on.
3: slide and unlock the phone if it is still locked.
4: Press the message tab on HTC SENSE and scroll up or down until you find the last SMS you have received.
5: Click the middle of the screen, and immediately click the "tab to compose text" within 1 second.
6: You should see a grey bar on the right hand side going toward the bottom of the screen, wait and eventually the last SMS that you have received will be highlighted.
7: You should be still able to see the onscreen keyboard, try typing some words using the onscreen keyboard with or without XT9. Nothing seems to happen because the last SMS received is highlighted.
8. There should still have a tiny white bar of "tab to compose text" area left, tap it.
9: You should be able the see some of the top bit of your words that you have typed in STEP 7 and a flashing cursor which are all covered by the onscreen keyboard.
There are 4 of problems that I would like to raise which happen in the above steps.
1: in step 6, while waiting, you can already start typing. But while you are typing, the focus will be lost when the grey bar finish loading, and the last SMS will be highlighted. This is annoying due to the way of its design which interrupts while typing SMS.
2: while you can keep typing when the SMS is highlighted, the words do not show up until you tap the “typing area” dialogue box.
3: Step 7 is just nonsense, due to the keyboard covering the typing area for no reason.
4: The more SMS there are , the slower the little grey bar on the right hand side load.
HTC Hong kong said they have reported this problem to the programers, but it has been more than a month and still no solution.

there are two solutions in the thread, the first one in pressing the home button when audio booster is on and the 2nd one is the registry tweak. which one you tried? i never use the player of htc sense. i always use coreplayer and for me it works.

''ΚΑΡΤΑ ΑΠΟΘΗΚΕΥΣΗΣ'' does mean CARD STORAGE. you are using English language? go to settings>system>regional settings and check this. i don't know if this will solve your problem but you can give it a try.

yes
storage card is ΚΑΡΤΑ ΑΠΟΘΗΚΕΥΣΗΣ and i use greek manila lang..

i think i have to find a way to rename the name ΚΑΡΤΑ ΑΠΟΘΗΚΕΥΣΗΣ to storage card

My problem with ROM 1.66 WWE
Hi friends,
Since 2 weeks I noticed that in "Setting"-->Memory card info-->SD card & phone-memory-- :
total memory == 0
Used memory ==0
Available memory==0
Before 2 weeks ago I do remember such informations were correctly displayed..
Maybe someone experienced....
Thanks

try soft resetting your phone. by the way there's no such path as "Setting"-->Memory card info-->SD card & phone-memory. do you mean settings>systems>memory?

Hi and thanks Shak7i,
Yes.
I also tried to remove the Sd card and rebooting,but it did not fix...
However applications can see the SD card (for example TOmTom Maps are seen by TomTom Application) and also Camera application can see and save pictures inside the SD card.
Only the "capacity info " (space available and occupied)are wrong (0.00 MB ; 0.00 ) .Maybe a registry key deleted....
Finally and unfortunately the HTC patch for SD cards is not applicable since my official ROM is 1.66 WWE.
Bye for now

yes maybe something messed up in the registry. did you backup your registry before editing it? if you did backup try restoring.

This was reported on the TMobile HD2 forum too (search for "SMS Glitch, does your HD2 do this?".. I can't post link here yet)
And yes, I have this problem as well. I thought I was going mad because words that I type in wouldn't appear until I deactivated/reactivated the keyboard... That fixed it but it's still annoying.
And it seems to appear consistently on the first sms reply you make upon activating HTC Messages. Problem doesn't seem to appear when you go into All Messages and work from there.
