Hello,
I was recommended to your site from CNET.
I need help with this. I have a Windows Phone (Samsung Focus) and all of a sudden it has stopped deleting history. I've tried everything.
I slide up the bottom screen in IE to show "tabs, recent, favorites etc..." I tap recent, tap the trash can icon, tap delete at the "are you sure" message and nothing happens.
Then I go into settings>applications>IE>delete history and tap delete at the "are you sure" message and nothing happens again.
I've closed out of the tabs. I've turned off the phone and on again. I've removed the battery and sim card and replaced it. Nothing seems to work.
I've done internet searches and they don't help as well.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can get my phone to delete the IE history again?
Thank you for your help.
Normally these should be deleted when you press [delete history]. I believe there is either a bug (in ROM) or it has something to do with the memory card (if you have one). A hard reset might solve your issue.
Thank you
Thank you for your response. I did have to reset it back to factory settings. It's working better now.

Hi, I only recently had this problem. Basically when im on the HTC Sense menu, if I go to email I can browse the emails flicking up and down however, when I press an email to open it nothing happens. You can see the press action but the email doesnt open instead I have to go to inbox and open that way.
Anyway else experienced this?
Thanks
I experienced the same thing on my hd 2. must have been after the installation of some thing. the problem is u can never know what caused it. anyways I had to hard reset as I couldn't stand feeling something is wrong . after owning the hd2 since oct, I really believed they rushed its release.
Hey thanks for the reply. I just ended up doing a hard reset, think you might be right i've hadd to hard reset a few times now because of problems I have had !!
still looking for a contact manager though!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I get this sometimes, theres a quicker and easier way to get it working (until it happens again of course, but this doesnt tend to happen again until youve hard reset)
Tap the windows tab at the top left of the screen so you get to the program files, then on the bottom left of the screen, tap "lock"
Now just unlock the phone and the problem will be gone
TouchPal Pro
On my case, the same problem occurs after I uninstall TouchPal Pro. The "Windows-Lock" cycle solve this issue.

Hi All,
Very weird one this, I hard reset due to installing that virus (3d shoot 'em up thing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650393 ) and have come across a strange issue within Sense.
When I press "Settings" in the start menu (or slide across to it within Sense) I get the HTC settings menu, so far so good.
When I press "All Settings" under 'Menu' it opens the 'Connections' window, not the standard Windows settings, if I close the 'Connections' window, it returns me to the HTC settings menu.
Anyone know where I might be able to change the link, or at least find what the 'Connections' link is, so I may track it down please?
sorry. didn't fully read your post.
Half-asleep.
Please ignore me this time.

No problem.
I've managed to display the "All Settings" icon, albeit from within the Start Menu using the registry:
hklm -> security -> shell -> startinfo - change the "hidesettings" to 0.
I've found from the above, that "cplmain.cpl,19" seems to reference 'Connections', so pointing my search toward that at the moment.
Unless anyone else has any assistance?
Just noticed your post and having suffered also at the hands of the 3d terrorist bastards I thought I'd check mine......guess what.......all settings displays just fine, everythings there and opens up, trying to get out of it though is a different story, pressing "ok" just causes a pause, screen flicker and then same settings screen to reload.
Another problem I'm having since that virus is neither the htc music player or windows media player work at all.
ringtone doesnt play either.
Is that another hard reset I hear approaching?

These stories are tragic disappointments... I cannot believe everything that has surfaced from this TROJAN program. It's unbelievable... because here we thought that such a thing would NEVER happen to any of us.
I think more attention should be paid towards this issue... it's a rather SERIOUS inconvenience for a lot of people.
Hmmm not had any issues with this trojan other than it dialling out, although I did switch off the phone as it was half way through it's hilarious attempt at pissing me off. Media player is fine, sms is fine, email fine, rss reader, shares, weather, in fact the phone is now running better than ever
One things for sure, I reckon open market will be hit hard by this, once bitten twice shy so to speak.

Nah, I'm a glutton for punishment.
I've learnt a hell of a lot about the registry on this thing that I wouldn't have gone near otherwise!
Hi
Have installed Cookies Home tab editor and xthack, all running fine execpt now can't open email with double tap from the slider view - anyone have any idea how to fix this???
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem..
Try this: press on/off button until u get Lock device, lock device, then unlock and try to open email.. ti works for me, but this is a stupid solution for a major problem.. and I don't think it is related to home tab editor or any program..
Hi,
Being new here, I have found this thread about the same problem I have.
Anyone got a solution for this or a registry tweak?
Initially, I was relating this problem to recently installed Dutty's TM, since I haven't immediately lost tap-to-open function in an e-mail preview slider upon installing Cookie Home Plugin.
Help much appreciated,
Alex

This probably has happened to me twice since I got the phone on 3/24. What I just do is reboot the phone and problem fixed!
had this problem with some custom roms but since have been using the extreme series i have not had the problem. the unlock trick did not resolve the issue for me. also use mtty when flashing a new rom, this possibly could have caused the problem for me.

Happened to me also the same way before. But this is something different.
At first it stopped functioning only on one mail account and noticed that somehow it lost the saved password on that account. After repairing that, temporarily, it came back to normal again but after couple of days lost this function completely on all mail accounts.
Plus, in start menu when tapping E-mail it opens FlexMail instead of standard built-in mail account list.
Really cannot address the source of the problem and trying to avoid starting all over with reinstalling after desperate measures.
This is the first serious problem I came to from last December when I got the phone.

Using the lock/unlock sequence, via a long press on the end call button, works for me. Not really satisfactory. The problem has started only since I recently had to hard reset my device and reinstall all the software.
So basically I had added a favorite to the sense tab and clicked on it while using free WiFi at McDonald's so the page it shows is the page where you accept the terms of service for the free WiFi. I have searched for it, but if I somehow did miss the answer I apologize in advance. I have tried removing the favorite from the tab & removing the favorite all together & then re-adding it and it still shows the wrong preview. I am guessing that there is a directory somewhere that I would be able to just delete the preview data. TIA for any help!!!
Bump I would love to know too.

That's a weird one. Did you try deleting it, then doing a soft reset, then adding it?
Have you looked in the Windows\Temporary Internet Files folder? Or maybe it's the Temp folder? See if the images for the shortcuts are cached in one of those folders. If so, you can just delete them and that should take care of it.
all the thumbnails are located in:
/Windows/Thumbnail
simply find the one you have and replace it with one you want or delete it. (the names are very long and make no sense, but in the end are simply .pngs.)

Ok so I found & deleted the 1 that was giving me problems, but now it won't generate the new preview! I have tried a soft reset with no results. Is there a way to force it to create the new one? Thank again!

scratches head...sorry mate. it worked for me previously. did you save the file somewhere else before deleting it? sorry it isn't working out the way you/i had hoped...
I upgraded to Oprea 10 I think it is beta and I don't have this problem anymore, it seems to update the thumbnails often.
This trick I came across while trying other developers bypass techniques,and I cought it once but really didn't really accomplish the task till the secound or third time,1st you need to be by a sign in hotspot like xfinity or att,then what you want to do is go in to the sign in page and type anything in the user name text box,now heres where it might take 1 or 2 trys,press and hold on the text you just entered,and when you normally you get a notification br that says copy cut paste,close the keyboard panel and right after tap somewhere at the top screen;if nothing happens tap and hold the text again till around the time the copy,cut,paste bar would appear and try tapping the top screen again,when done successfully the google search box will appear and type in settings;now heres the thing,it will not let you factory reset,but go back one step back to the Google search bar and type setup and theres your bypass it does a whole different setup with skip at every sign in;but you might have to be connected to the internet for the setup,thank you I'm The Phizzle 100% Certified Google Android Developer,Good health & Good luck to you!

It should work on all devices but I discovered it on a HTC Desire 626s
Please please if you can leave a reply or give me thanks or at least pick one of the answers on the pole to let me know if the procedure is and not just a one-time fluke I would really would appreciate the assistance, thank you.
Didn't want to post this but since everyone is getting past it I might as well.
First download your HTC ruu.
Then connect, the programme will turn the htcs adb on so have adb open before you connect your phone.
Next you check for your device on adb.
Now type in the command to open the settings app with adb (search it up!)
Now try to reset the device. When doing so the "erase everything" button will not work so right before to go into the Acton that lets you reset. click the button very fast before it greys out and confirm that you want to reset quickly and then you will have a working HTC.
Hope this helps!

And this program will work on a device thats already been Factory reseted and without adb debug being turned on the phone?cool,so I'd go to recovery mode and select update with adb?

No HTCs ruu program will turn adb on once it finds it. Just have the phone on the start screen.

Gotcha!
I recently found a phone in a field I was mowing and I tried like hell for a week to return this phone to its rightful owner to no avail. I reset the phone and am trying to use it as I made an effort to return the phone to the owner. I am to the point of the FRP. However, nothing I have tried seems to work. The phone is on 6.0.1 Marshmallow and when I do have the phone connected to the computer it only shows up as 0PM92 not My HTC or anything else. Am I doing something wrong in both of these steps?
Well try factory resetting it again and when it turned back on and you see the welcome screen try holding two fingers down on the screen and it will tell you shortly after that the accessibility settings will turn on after the tone when it does draw an L shape on the screen pull up accessibility quick settings then after that go to TalkBack settings go to the Google voice setting choose the little gear when it pulls up a list go to the little menu in the corner on that menu Tuesday open source license hold down on any of the text + 2 is she another menu pick share if a list pops up choose messages or gmail from there you can gain access to the internet or settings that is where you know what to do, good luck and good health to you and your device.
Thanks for the help with my research, since then ive frp bypassed near 200 devices
Ranging from all different models types and services and with this knowledge I will use it so I can help those who have been Misjust and it's all thanks to The Cooperative people who aided me in my research thank you.
One of My methods came up with alone is just go through every choice til you find a link when it opens go to Google and search for any apk to download once it gets you to the menu to turn on unknown sources in through other settings and find apps now disable anything related to Google services that verifies the previous email after a few tries it'll time out not being able to verify and put you through with a skip option then freely to desktop no account attached add your own using a account you already have that uses tap to verify on your other devices with the amounts already synced and then reset it you may have to restore all disabled apps soon as you get in I did this at 4am few days ago then factory reset it once it was synced up with my account also download device manager for Google lock and erase remotely that's how I reset it not from menu ensuring my email was truly connected to the phone. I give no credits I did this alone on my LG x power and my Alcatel idol4 please give me credits for anyone this works for as well because I will be making a video soon .
