Whenever I try to install any .cab now, it now gives me a new prompt right after I hit "Yes" to install the .cab. It gives me this prompt:
"Installation of (program).cab was unsuccessful."
It does that for every cab that I'm trying to put into my HD2. (BsB, DocHD2MMSFix, etc) Idk what I can do to fix it, I tried to soft reset it. It doesn't help... I'm really stressed out and annoyed about this thing. Anyone got anything?!
why don't you just hard reset the device. use pim backup to save your contacts/text/calendar/.... it's a breeze to get all your stuff back.
are you clicking to download the cab and choosing 'open' straight from the browser? because i find they always fail if you try to do that. You must save them first, and then open them manually.

Cause I really don't feel like redoing my FB contact stuff all over again. I have a lot of contacts. It'll just be a huge PITA

I always download them onto my PC, then transfer it to my SDcard then open it up from there. Never had any problems with it until now...

I sync to Google and never have to re-add all the FB stuff to my contacts. Each time I flash, I sync again and my contacts are back just as I left them.
I flash a lot and thus need simple solutions such as that. Thank GOD for Android on the HD2, which not only sync's contacts but reinstalls your apps too!
There. Now I've helped someone and plugged my own threads at the same time. Time for a cookie
Try using sdkcerts. It enables you to install unsigned cabs.
You have a problem if your HD2 doesn't even let you install it. In that case, you'd want to do a hard reset (but BACKUP your data first!).

the facebook connections are stored in teh contacts 'notes' field, so are restored when you sync them back after a hard reset.

You know.... if you have installed BsB Tweaks (free in Windows Mobile Marketplace), you can just enable unsigned apps under Polices.

Wondered if any one has had this problem.
When i launch the contacts app from the contacts side of the cube
not only does the contacts app open but several of my system folders open
at the same time...
For example... i bring up the cube, press the contacts app and the comm
manager, settings folder, programs folder and activesync all open at the same time. I close out the contacts app and then i have to close out all the other apps as well.
It's getting frustrating... i've done a hard reset to test this out and before i install or do any thing to my device i try to launch it and it happens again...
I thought was because of a tweak but am seeing that this is not the problem..
Any insight to this problem.. fix.. any one else have this ... please
post a thought...
I've tried to look in the registry to see where the app launches but can't find it... i'm frustrated
Thanks...
Craig
No theories....
What ROM are you running? That's not normal behavior.
You might want to try flashing the stock ROM.
That's just it... it is the stock rom...
I've always been afraid to flash a new Rom
that wasn't official...
Got it brand new...
It's frustrating... wondered if any thing in the Registry
would fix this...
Can't seem to find the reg entry for the quicklauncher
contacts only part... all i find in the registry is the 9
configurable choices...

I'd take it in to a store and show them what's going on. Back up your info first, though. They may be able to help you, or they may order you a new phone.
Have deleted some threads that I wwas following but can't seem to remove the posts, real annoying. I'd be happy to clear them all out but can't see a way of doing it, any advice much appreciated!

Log in on a PC and unfollow. The twitter app doesn't give you full access to all teh functions.

Log out of Twitter in the 'Data Settings' page in phone settings and it will remove all tweets, you can then resync your phone to Twitter and it'll get the ones of people you're following...

AH, log out and back in.
twitter tab - menu - settings - tap the top section(account settings) it will clear the cache when you log out, when you log back in it will refresh.
Oh, hang on, maybe it wont..... lol, pretty sure i tried that before and it worked, but just tried now and it didnt......
\Application Data\HTC\Twitter contains photo, you can clear it, it'll sync back
\Temp\TwiEng contains all the post in database. I usually delete it out every few days
make sure you turn off sense first because if Twitter tab is running, it'll lock the file in Temp and you cannot delete it (not sure if you log off, it'll still lock those file or not).
Your right, if you log out and log back in all the tweets are still there. I have considered creating another twitter account to see if switching accounts clears the cache. I also dont think it clears any old tweets automatically so this is an ever growing problem, the longer the device is used without a hard reset the more it will fill and the more lag there will be.
Im not technically minded to suggest anything else, i have tried to find the cache file in explorer but failed.
Can Any of you very clever people out there help on this one?
(yet another poorly tested buggy part of the HD2 .... but hey means we will never get bored )
I went into Data services in the main phone settings tab and turned it off using the toggle. It said it will clear all tweets. I logged back in using the toggle and signed in and had to get them down fresh...

Your right thats what it says, but i dont think thats what its doing. When I do exactly that it does appear to clear them but if you check after its reloaded the tweets, all the tweets are there going right back to your last hard reset (in my case 29th Jan) I have twitter set to download just the last 50 tweets but there are hundreds between the 29th and today.
I have also tried loggong into a fresh twitter account with no tweets, but when I log back into my main one they are still all there. This must be down to a cache file not being cleared properly, question is... where is the little blighter????????

Setting tab -> Menu -> All Setting -> Today -> Items tab -> uncheck HTC Sense then OK out 2 times. Delete file, and then follow same step to check HTC Sense then OK out all the way.
Cool, thats todays little HD2 maintenance lesson done

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.

Hey guys,
Need your expertise; Is there a way to remove MSN weather or MSN Money from my -Mobile Dash3G?
I want to keep the original T-Mobile flash but those 2 apps are just taking space for nothing.
Thank you in advance!
Hook up your phone with ActiveSync and go into file explorer. Open up the windows folder, then start menu. You can delete stuff from start screen there.

Those 2 apps dont show up on "Add or Remove Programs". T-Mobile disable that from uninstalling but I was hoping there's a trick to uninstalling them.

If I do that, won't that corrupt files on the phone since Im really not uninstalling them?
I dont think so because it's like you're deleting shortcuts off that menu. So I don't know how to completely remove those programs. Then again how can you completely remove any program anyway.

I have found the solution to the various posts listed on not being able to get rid of an uninstalled prog in the remove progs window. Using MemMaid 2.3 go jump to/databases/database usage, highlight SwMgmtMetadataStore and click browse, highlight offending entry and delete it. Then do and soft reset and you will find that the prog is no longer in the remove prog window. Hope this helps.
Hi all,
Updated to Stock ROM 3.14 and now my txt message converstions don't show in either converstation mode or traditional i.e when i tap 'reply' the previous messages are not showing.
Thiis was always sporadic in 1.66 (sometimes they show sometimes they don't, seemed to depend how you entered into the message client)
Any ideas?
I suggest you do a hard reset as with a official ROM or a custom ROM it is always good to do a hard reset after you flash just to be double sure e erything in the ROM was set correctly. Sometimes Win Mo needs a sweft kick in the a$$ lol.

To be honest I really don't know if SPB Backup will backup you rCookies Home Tab settings or not as I have nevery used SPB Backup. But it is worth a try but just incase take and make a hand writtin list of what you have on your Cookies Home Tab and what settings you are using for it so you can set it back up like you had it. I only use Microsoft My Phone as it backes up whent I really need backed up and I do the rest the old fahion way as it keeps me well aquanted with how to use my HD2.

Ah man, i hard reset and tested the messaging again and it works fine. But when i restore the problem returns so it backed up the original bug!
I'm gonna have to start over, 3 hours i spent today playing with settings and finding my away around the new cookie monster editor
I hope you are right in that i should of just hard reset after the rom upgrade. I spose now I'm gonna have to test the messaging is still working after i change every setting as i go... a wasted evening... spose i could do it when at work tomorrow heee heee!

I'd already done the hard reset but my spb backup saved cookie monster and everything else so all cool
problem is now, i have the sent message notification problem again! Don't spose you have a fix for that? The above thread is all i could find on it and the original fix wont work for me as the .exe is incompatible with newer versions.

Do you mean it is giving you a notification that it sent the text message everytime you send a message?.....
There is a check box in the settings to turn this off but for the life of me I can not find it right now, sorry man.
