Guest sc0user_75 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Guys, I was messing about with my phone just now. I installed SPB Pocket Plus. PLayed about with it. Decided I didnt like it, so took it off. But now, I have a BIG Scroll Bar running down the side of the HTC Home Screen. The scroll bar scrolls through my Today Agenda items. But I never had this scroll bar up until I installed bloomin SPB Plus!! I've tried everything to try and get rid of this scroll bar as it blocks off part of the date and last tab of my home screen. Ive adjusted the settings. Soft rested. EVERYTHING! Help please :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looby Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 How did you uninstall it? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dolbe666 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 the scroll bar is there because there is more programs plugins on your today screen than the screen can hold so now you have a scroll bar so you can scroll down. to remove the scroll bar just remove one of the plugins from your today screen. you must of changed the order or added something thats made it like that. go to settings/today/items and untick the items you dont need on the today screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi guys. The funny thing is I only have the HTC Home and Today Agenda plugins ticked. No others are active at all. Thats why Im a little confused with the bar. Also, when I scroll down even the home screen moves upwards - thus hiding the clock!! I uninstalled SPB Plus by going into settings and using the remove programmes option. COuld it possible be anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Oh oh! I have a nasty feeling its gonna be HARD RESET time :( :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looby Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) Hi scOuser. sometimes the only way to completely remove a program is to re-install it and remove it from the Add/Remove progams in Tools in your activesync on your PC while your device is connected. Maybe give it a try before you go for a hard reset Edited November 30, 2007 by Looby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 sc0user's on a Mac :( FWIW here's what I would do: 1. Uninstall all today plugins you can 2. Disable the rest. 3. Do a proper shutdown (hold power key) 4. Cross fingers and restart :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks guys for the help. Ill try that tonight. PS Don't shoot me down for this - but I thought holding down the power key to shut down was a Soft Reset? Or is the soft reset something different?

Guest mandt Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 It is, and it isn't :( A proper shutdown is a buletproof way of flushing the registry when any changes are made, sometimes a soft-reset just doesn't cut it. I'm not 100% sure of the technicalities behind it but it ensures any changes made are written to the device properly and as you've been uninstalling software there's every chance you have some pending. In all honesty it's probably unnecessary, but you never know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 So, how do I carry out a Soft Reset? The way Ive always done it is by holding down the power button. I then get a message asking if Im sure I wanna shut down. I click YES. And voila, phone is shut down. I then restart it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Exactly what I meant :( instead of just sticking the stylus in the reset hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 LOL! Gotcha now. Thanks Mandt :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Well, after all the messing around, swearing, kicking and punching - in the end I had to do a hard reset. But to look on the bright side, I will now re-organise everything on the phone a lot better. Im actually gonna create a CABS folder on my storage card and use that as a backup :( Thanks all who tried to help :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you use HTC Home Customiser to "lock" it, and then the scroll bar will go away. Oh well, you couldn't wait.

Guest K Woodhead Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I also installed Spb Pocket Plus. When I removed it, I ended up with the same problem. And yes, I also ended up doing a Hard Reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sc0user_75 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 LOL! Oh well. At least this time round i installed everything methodically :( I now have a lot more free memory too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 A hard-reset isn't always a bad thing! Keep your CABs on your card, and use the excellent PIMBackup you can HR and get back to where you were in no time :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NuShrike Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 A hard-reset isn't always a bad thing! Keep your CABs on your card, and use the excellent PIMBackup you can HR and get back to where you were in no time :(How do I backup my preferences? Such as ring tone settings for each contact, brightness settings, keyboard settings, etc etc. I'm getting really tired of setting stuff back up after a rom flash/hard-reset. It was so much cleaner and thorough on PalmOS with Hotsync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Not sure if PIM Backup keeps your contact ringtones or not, don't use em myself. regarding tweaks etc I always export the reg key, and keep them in my 'backups' folder for easy re-importing after a hard-reset :( You can do this with Resco BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
