Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Welcome to the site :lol: Try removing the card then insert it again as osmetimes the phone can forget it's there. Is the phone new or secondhand? were the apps you list installed before you had the phone? Just trying to get a picture of the history of the phone so it's easier to help. Failing that a hard reset will return the phone to "out of the box" state and you will need to decert the phone and reinstall all your apps again.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Strange the last three posts were not showing when I replied, hope the infamous site bug is not back :? Paul?

The phone was new!! if i do hard reset (possibly best option as i have all apps saved on desktop pc) how do i decert phone? thanks for your reply and help :lol:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 As the phone is new you do not need to do a hard reset (just remove the apps you have put on the card without installing). As for decerting click on OTA this will take you to the Orange developers site to unlock the phone. As for the files you have what file format are they in? If they are in .cab format you will need to place them in IPSMWindowsStart menuAccessories once you do this on the phone go to ProgramsAccessories and you will see the file there. Just run it from there and it will install the app for you (install to storage card to save space on your phone) Smart Explorer and Task Manager also come in .exe format so you can install them via your PC for an easier install method.
Guest A.Hughes Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 thanks for you help,,,hopefully this will remedy the knowledge gap i have.....much appreciated
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 No problem :lol: Any more questions just ask.
Guest terminater2_uk Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Sounds to me like you just havent created any shortcuts to your start menu. :?:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Sounds to me like you just havent created any shortcuts to your start menu. :?: From the posts it apears that A.Hughes is a new member who has just got his phone and did not realise that to see the Storage card on the phone a file explorer like Smart Explorer needs to be installed first.
