Hi Guys (and Girls),
I'm trying to help a friend with a specific problem. She has an account (Badoo) which was blocked by Badoo; a friend used her account and abused it, and the result is that her account is blocked. Badoo refuses to unblock it. Even worse, when she creates a new account it is also blocked almost immediately, effectively making it impossible for her to use Badoo.
So, I try to help her with this - also because I like the technical challenge here. I've found out that if I create a new account, it stays active; but the moments she starts using it, it is blocked quite rapidly. Reason: they recognise her from before. It is not related to userid, name, email adress or any of the data uploaded. So, my only conclusion is that there must be *something* on her phone that is found; and the help file they have online suggest they install 'persistant tracking cookies' on mobiles.
Uninstalling the App does not work. So, there must be SOME files somewhere that are NOT deleted after uninstalling; and the moment you reinstall, they are found and the account is blocked (at least, that is my reasoning).
I've tried writing a small App to find something, but cannot find any way to do this. The way I understand it, all files created on Android should be linked to the App (so should have owner/groupid linked to the App). I therefore think it should be possible to find any files installed by an App, and just remove them. I was afraid they would be in the /data/data/... folder, but it looks like that folder is cleaned after uninstalling, so they are probably somewhere on the SD-card.
I expect a wipe of the phone will sort everything out, but unfortunately that is not an option.
Anybody has any idea how to proceed with this?
I would be interested to know the answer to this also!

Hi.
I just got my Trinity today and apart from one small problem i love it.
The problem is mailaccountrepair cannot recover my lost pop email account after a soft reset.
TBH I thought the Trinity didn't suffer from the dreaded WM5 disappearing pop email syndrome. But when i saw that it did i said i'd just put up with it.
But then i discover that mailaccountrepair (the little app that recovers lost pop email accounts) isn't able to recover mine.
Please help.
I know somebody here can sort this out for me.
As i said so far i like everything else about this device so i hope it won't be marred by this stupid email problem (I really don't want to return it either..).
Thanks.
Hi,
Just to know, are you able to create a new account with the same name ?
If no, you should have a message saying that this name is already in use ... in this case, the little app should work.
If you can create it, then your mail account seems to be really lost and not recoverable.
There is a new version of this apps since few days, perhaps it can help. If not, let me know.
I just started to learn to customize my t-mobile wing this week and am still a newbie at all of this. The only thing I know best about my wing is how to work the camera, phone, text message with aim 2.0, and go on the internet with wifi. I downloaded this alarm clock program thing a few days again. It was the enAlarmPPC one. I didn't like it because the trial only allows you to use it for no more than 3 minutes, I'm dead broke so my only choice was to uninstall it. I remember the program by using the remove/add programs tab in the system tab. I thought that was all I had to do, it wasn't until a few days later when I connect my wing to my computer and a weird message came up saying something about (Cannot execute\program\files\enAlarmPPC\enAlarmPPC.exe), but instead of saying program it's storage file. Is there a way to stop this from happening without the use of programs that requires me to pay? I'm really dead broke and I don't think my sister will lend me any money for now.
A second problem, well, I don't know if this is really a problem but it had just been bugging me. I have my phone contact list containing only phone numbers before but after I signed in to MSN Messenger, suddenly a whole list of emails showed up in my contact lists with the phone numbers. Is this normal? Is there a way to get rid of the emails address? I have a lot of numbers in my contact lists so it killed me with a whole list of over 20 email addresses showed up. I don't want to delete them from my messenger but just want to know of a way to separate the contacts.
Thank you sooo much for taking your time to read this. Hoping and wishing that someone will help me. THANKS and PLEASE.
EDIT//
Just to clarify a few things. I did try to google and yahoo for help, I searched for three days thinking that there will be a site out there that could help me. But there wasn't and the ones that give somewhat of an explanation requires me to pay for the program. I'm super cheap, yes I am aware of that. So please please help me out.
Try this link to delete the alarm software

This is a new version of WLM that was released that allows you to choose whether or not you want to combine your Msngr conatcts with you outlook/sim contacts. Be cafeful because you cannot delete the Msngr Contacts from your phone without deleting them from you IM List, I think the only solution would be to to a hard reset then re-install WLM using the version I just linked to.
Hope that helps
First off, I wanted to say Thank You to everyone who contributes and shares their expertise on this site. I've been using my BA since it first came out, and have followed the upgrade path through WM5 and now WM6.
Here is my question though....
Because my BA is getting up there in years, it appears the internal backup battery has died - it shows 100% charged, but if I ever let the main battery die, there is no reserve to carry me through until I can recharge. When this happens, of course I don't really loose anything critical (apps or outlook data) BUT I do have to rebuild all my POP messaging accounts (they dissapear). Not such a big deal, more of an annoyance than anything, except that WM won't let me use the same names as I had for the original accounts. For example - If a have a "Yahoo" account, and then the battery dies, the "Yahoo' account dissapears from the messaging client, and when I go recreate it I'm told that "Yahoo" already exists and I have to rename it to something else....
Interestingly enough, the today plug in still shows the original email account (and the number of unopen messages at the time it was "lost").
What's bothering me isn't the recreation of the accounts - it's that I CAN'T find where these accounts are kept, so I can delete either the file or the registry settings.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks again to everyone involved in this site,
-Ant
Your answer is here (more like workaround than a solution but it works 100%)

Thank You
Thank You very much - the blog this utility was attached to didn't get into too much detail about the "how" these accounts are stored - I'd be interested in learning about that aspect of things, but regardless - the utility finds the "missing" accounts just fine.
Thanks for the help,

I ran my spb backup and now have 1 extra email that I can't account for.
My gmail account is no longer listed in the messaging area either.
Anyone know how to get rid of the phantom email?
-- edit--
on further research the phone sees the missing gmail account but it's not displaying in messaging. Is there an area in the registry to remove this entry?
I have the same issue, phone can see the gmail account, but it does not show in messaging
I searched my phone's file & reg system and couldnt find anything.. anyone know?
I found some registry settings for gmail, but if I delete them, they just come back after a re-set. If I find anything I will post it here.
from what i can tell it happens when you restore old messages with the new rom version. the only way i was able to get it to go away was to do a hard reset and not restore the text messages.
I am in the same boat with my gmail account after updating to 6.1
Has anyone figured anything out? I have tried everything with the registry and looking though the My Device/Windows/Messages folder, but I haven't had any luck.
I think it has something to do with the cemail file in the windows folder.
Can someone please please help?
There is a program called FixUnreadCount floating around either here or ppcgeeks. I will link to it if I find it otherwise search for it. This usually fixes that problem.
Try searching for the file that ryanbg mentioned on www.pdaphonehome.com under the 6700 forums. I had that issue with my XV-6700 and that program cleared it up.
tried it.. did not work. The file was floating right here on xda..
I now have two phantom e-mail accounts. I'm on a Diamond and used sprite backup, but the problems seem very similar. I'm almost out of ways to write gmail.. Still noone with any clue?
I eventually had to do a hard reset, it was the only way to fix it.
The error isn't in the registry but in the outlook database. I restored the system databases. What I figured happened is that my newly configured email account didn't have the same UID as it did before I created the ROM. So, Outlook has no way to clear the records in that database for that email account that no longer exists. Windows CE or wm5 used to allow you access to those databases, but I don't see anything under Settings for it now. I'm sure there are other programs out there that would work, but you probably took the easiest route. You can do your restore again, just don't restore the system or "other" databases.
All,
I've a problem with the exchange server settings. It looks like my admins had pushed the new exchange policy this afternoon. All of a sudden my phone is asking for a password. I had installed the "Stay Unlock.cab" which worked perfectly so far. Now, I'm getting the password prompt when i unlock the device.
But the actual problem is, when I enter the password it takes me to the password screen and asking me to enter a new password. When I enter a new password it fails saying "An Error occurred saving password settings."
Now, I cannot access my phone. I have so many applications installed and I haven't backed up some of my settings & data. So I am hesitant to do a hard-reset and wipe out 3 weeks worth of my work/customization.
Help please!!
Thanks
Nash (TmoUS HD2 - Stock ROM)
I end up hard resetting.
after, 10 times of invalid password entry in the lock screen, it automatically wiped all my data.
anyway I installed hspl2 and installed energy rom, which is much better and beautiful than the stock rom. I am re installing all my applications now...
Thanks
Hello All,
Now I have a weird problem. I could install all the apps and run it properly, but the moment when I sync my outlook with the corporate exchange account, everything stops working. It looks like the Exchange setup is blocking unsigned apps & I could not install any cab files anymore or start an already installed program like CHT Editor. If I remove the email account, everything works fine again. Has anyone come across this problem?
I'm not sure what was changed in the Exchange server. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance.
Right now, I have Kumar's ROM & I tried Energy ROM too and it looks like I cannot get around this issue. If I remove the Exchange account everything goes back to normal. I also have "Exchange Stay Unlock.cab" installed which doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there anyone else having the same issue?
Is it possible that the exchange admins put a policy to your telephone that its not possible to install software. ,Maybe that is the problem. Then when you delete email, also delete this policy and then its possible to install progs
It looks like it, before & after deleting the exchange sync it asks me to restart. after deleting the problem goes away. Is there anyway to change exchange's behaviour/policy?
The main problem is not just the installation, even the installed apps don't open anymore. Like the "Arkswtich" task manager which I use all the time or any unsigned apps I think. Opera works fine.
could you tell me, what/how I should ask my admins?
Hello All,
It looks like the policies are being updated and I cannot run or install the any unsigned app. I tried to install the cabs to "Remove app lock, unsigned app, etc..", but I can't seem to install these cabs too. Now, I can't even open the registry and update the policies key manually as I can't open a regsitry editor app.
I tried the registry editor from PC (CeRegEdit) and it won't let me update from that too. I totally stuck with this problem now.
Is there way to sign an app (cab file) or make it trusted?
Thanks
I'll continue to update this thread as no one else seem to have this problem.
I used "msigner.cab" to sign couple of cab files and tried to install and it still failed saying "untrusted...". So, I spoke to my admins, those guys plainly said they don't support windows mobile. Now, I don't have an option.
I wonder, why microsoft would enforce a policy on a wm6.5 devices?
Next step.. I reflashed again, installed all the cabs I needed and setup my device. this time, I'm hoping that I don't have to reboot (I know it's tough ) after syncing up with exchange. I'll sync only the emails (in Exchange) and others through the pc (contacts, tasks, calendar).
Finally, I installed all the reg editors before connecting to exchange. Then I synced only the emails with the exchange server and before rebooting the phone, I used the reg editor to change the key (HKLM\Security\Policies\Policy) values as mentioned in other forums (sdkcerts) to 0. Now it looks like its permanent and not changing even after the reboot!
Thanks

Yes I too need to know, I am suffering with the same problem
Thanks in advance
Update I think http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/...curity-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices.aspx can help in resolving, never tried it though
sorry, it is in the "HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" folder.
I changed the following keys..
00001005 to 1
00001006 to 1
Let me know if it doesn't work, I can export and email you the policies key from the registry.
