Recommended Posts

Posted

I don't know what happened in my qtek 8080, but when i go settings->remove programms , nothing is there.

The last thing that i installed was smartinsertv2.0,and now i can't uninstall anything.

Anyone know what to do?

I don't want to do a hard reset again.........................

this has happend to me on my first SPV, if you want to uninstall a program either:-

1. install the rpogram again then it will appear in the list again.

2. manualy delete the program from the start menu and program files using active sync explorer.

Nothing happens if i reinstall something.It doesn't appear in the list.

If i just erase it from startmenu and program files,it will not be completely uninstalled.

Anyone knows what to do?I did a hard reset,but after a while it happened again

sounds like more than something easy... might be the phone? backup battery?

and if its not fixed after a hard reset then i dont think anythig else is going to fix it.

Could it be the sd card?

I didn't have any card for 10 days and this never happened.

As soon as i put the sandisk 256mb ,it happened twice!

could be a clue.. try to format the card with a pc card reader or using task manager on the phone

Have you tried using the ActiveSynch Tools method ?

The phone's Settings method stops working after you've installed so many things

What do you mean?

What is the Activesync Tools method?

Is there a limit about the number of installed things?

I don't think there is a limit to how many things you can install but the phone's internal Add / Remove Programs tool stops working after 30 (?) games or applications have been loaded.

When you have the phone connected to your PC at the first box - Microsoft ActiveSynch - you have the File / View / Tools / Help buttons at the top.

Click on Tools and you get the choice of Options or Add / Remove Programs.

Choose Add / Remove Programs and a list of everything you have ever installed by installer or CAB or HME will be displayed.

Some will be ticked and some will not but everything currently installed will have a tick in its box.

Untick anything you want to remove from the phone and click OK.

ActiveSynch will then remove those programs, telling you which it is doing.

When you have removed everything you don't want and assuming you now have less than 30 (?) things loaded you should be able to use the phone's Settings tool :lol:

Hope this makes sense

Close :lol:

It's a known bug, if you have 50+ apps etc installed the list disappears

then when you go below they return as if by magic :D

This really should have been sorted in WM2003.

Oh and another thing ~ when I remove programs by either method the temp files are not removed from the App Mgr folder.

Is this a bug and can they be deleted safely ?
