I use skype on my XDA IIs and as I travel a lot I find it a cheap and easy way to chat to my kids.
The problem is that every time I turn on my phone or it gets any kind of message or connects to my wireless router to sync with my laptop I get the following message.
'cannot execute \storage card\skype technologies s.a. 1.0\skype.exe'
Thing is there's nowt wrong with the storage card, now I've uninstalled skype it still says that. I even bought SK Tools to try to rid myself of this but it remains and the damn thing means now I wake up to a flat battery every morning.
Can someone point me towards the file I have to edit to stop this and of course a suitable editor. I am guessing the initial problem was caused by me installing skype to the storage card.
Anyone?
hey! maybe you should look again into the "Notifiy Que" in SK Tools. Look attentively at every entry there and remove everything that has got to do with skype.
Alternatively you may reinstall skype, do softrest (take attention not to run the skype app after restart!) and uninstall skype again via SK Tools --> Uninstall App

The PDA2k seems to be slow in initially picking up the Storage Card on a power on.
People who use MP3 ringtones from their Storage card have the same access problem.

The SD drivers are known to be slow at both reset and power on, there is a definate lag - this is documented by WebIS (the Pocket Informant people) and Spb Software House. It is recommended that anything the can be considered a system service or which interacts with the Today screen be installed to the Main Memory.

Brilliant, worked! You can't know how much hassle this has caused me. I'm happy it is solved, thanks very much.
Okay, here is the story... Sometimes I just want to soft reset my Tornado to close those "unclosable" apps like MSN Messenger. So I wrote this little program to help me. Now I don't have to turn off the phone and turn it on again just in order to do a soft reset.
I'd like to share it. Haven't been tested on Tornados other than mine. Use it at your own risk.
Just extract the exe from zip, copy it to your Tornado, run from File Manager... you can also create a shortcut for it. :roll:
B.T.W, It DOES NOT work on Windows Mobile 2003 platform. So don't bother to try.
It's updated. No more stupid ARE YOU SURE question.
Few question asked (ok ? Yes ? are you sure ? )
But work ok for me
Maybe turned OFF Button and turned ON Button will be shorter don't you think ?
Thanks anyhow
edit : on the second RUN less question Asked. Only one actually "Would you like to Soft reset"
I guess other question was the Win Mobile 5 things when you first run a new APPZ 8)
Bonjour. It's updated.
I just made it for fun.
Planning to add scheduled reboot function. So it can reboot in midnight, and you get fresh memory for a new day.
Any other ideas are welcome!
If you are havign trouble making registry settings place documents and mail on the storage card because boot-up doesn't find the card fast enough, then maybe soft reset will help.
I will try. Thanks.
Well, I believe CeleTask free memory function is more than sufficient
You didn't understand me, but I think I was wrong anyway.
There are times when you try to place certain system folders on Storage. But when phone boots, it tries to write that data before it recognises the storage card, so it creates the folder in system memory again (I think in Application Data instead of original location).
My thought was that if you could make a registry change immediately effective without theneed for a bood sequence, you could have your data on the storage card.
However, recent reading tells me that for registry settings to take effect, the system needs to be powered down. So no good.

Hello
I have a problem in my cruise (stock english rom):
The internet explorer freezes about 5 second after loading a page, it can't even load google.com it freezes everything even the keys not responding and I have to do soft reset.
Opera is working fine.
I changed things in registry according to guides here and made tweaks with SKTools, Schaps Advanced Settings and SPB Pocket Plus my cruise is perfect now except this annoying problem - even if accidentally enter the explorer i have to reset...
I installed PIE 6.1 and its the same problem so uninstalled it and IE still freezes.
I changed back settings for PIE in SKTools, Schaps and SPB, but the problem still remains, guess I just need the default registry setting for internet explorer but don't know where to search..
So maybe someone knows where are the internet explorer registry and what values should be the default?
Thanks...
My Orbit 2, with stock ROM, also does the same.
It's happened 2 or 3 times now where the phone freezes on the IE explorer page that is open, and will not reposnd to anything apart from a soft-reset.
I think it fixed by settings in SKTools, now its browsing slow but no freeze!
The settings:
font cache:2000
TCPwindow size:98304
Defaul TTL:128
IP multcasting:2
PIE input buffer:80
FS cache:2048
Where is the registry key for PIE input buffer?
In SKTool i cant set what i want only predefined...
one other thing to check....
did you use one of the tweak apps to put IE temp files on storage card instead of main memory?
If so, this is the reason it freezes. Same thing will happen if you tweak to put email attachments on storage card.

sorry man
I'm not a Touch Cruise user (I use a Tilt) but I was cruising thru the TC forums today and figured I would chime in.
As suggested earlier, if you moved the cache and IE locations to the storage card you can get this behavior. I was getting this too. I changed it back to the default locations on the phone and that fixed the problem. HTH.
OK, I've searched and found numerous posts in regard to this issue, but have yet to find a solution... When I access websites using IE it brings up the site and quickly says 0 bytes and never downloads the page. I've tried the disablehiddenproxy.cab, but that only causes IE to lock-up now (ugh...). Some of the fixes posted thus far...
1. Clear your cache, temp folders, cokies, etc, etc... - Tried that. Didn't work.
2. Reset your cache files to the Device rather than Storage Card. - Tried that. Didn't work.
3. Disable proxy in the registry using Kasier Tweak or Schaps Advanced Tweak tool. - Can't even find this option in the settings
4. Install DisableHiddenProxy.cab - Tried this and now IE locks up. Besides, isn't that cab doing the same thing as the DisableCingularProxy.cab, whcih I already had installed??
I have 5 phones all doing the same thing. I've tried numerous Dutty ROMs, Schap ROMs, and am now using Ryncppr's ROM (which is fabulous, btw) and all are or have been experiencing this problem. I was hoping Ryncppr's ROM fixed this because it fixed a big problem I was having with DirectPush with some of the other ROMs, but yet, the 0-byte issue persists.
Does anyone know what is causing this or know where I can find a fix for it?
EDIT: Sorry, I thought I was posting this in the 'Software' section, but somehow it ended up in the 'ROM' section. Mods - Please move if neccessary.
i don't know of a fix as i dont't even use pie but i canr ecommend opera mobile. works better than pie. if u want to try it cab is in my 4shared (link in my sig)
if its doing it across 5 different phones and different roms, then it cant be hardware issue.........check your connection settings or maybe check with your operator
same problem here
The only workaround I've found is to click the "3G" icon on the title bar, choose "disconnect" when the dialog box appears to force it to disconnect. When you try to reload the page in IE, it should automatically reconnect and download correctly.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with Internet Explorer on my HD7
Since yesterday, Internet Explorer refuses to open from the start screen or Apps list. Clicking on web links in emails does not work, clicking on pinned web pages does not work. Live tiles, Emails, RSS feeds, texts, Phone calls etc. work as expected. I have downloaded several third party browsers which work as expected.
I have checked using 3G and Wifi connections, and soft reset multiple times to no avail
I have searched and have not seen anyone else reporting this problem which leads me to suspect it's a device specific software problem. I was following my normal morning routine yesterday, reading the emails with new and updated posts from XDA when it suddenly stopped opening the links in the emails. I tried opening up Internet Explorer and this too failed. The animation transition starts to take place when pushing the I.E. tile, and then it comes back to the start screen.
I am running 7720 and have not played around with the phone or changed anything to cause this problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts before I go ahead and press the "Reset your phone" button ??
Thanks in advance,
Garrickus
Work around
Hi,
Got the same problem with no available solution till now.
I just have a workaround for you, disable in settings the "open links in new tab" and you should be able to use IE9 again afterwards.
Tabs will not work though.
I even read somewhere that hard reseting device will not solve the problem !!??
Do it or not and tell me if you find something.
Regards,
Thomas
Thanks

I can confirm your solution does indeed work as you describe, and yes, tabs are now broken
I'm curious as to your firmware version and operator, as there may be a link ?
You say you read "somewhere" that hard resetting the phone doesn't fix the problem , (I haven't as yet done so myself, as I'm currently compiling word docs of Internet Explorer favourites etc. and uploading them to Skydrive so I can restore them later ) which implies someone else has also encountered this problem ?
If a hard reset doesn't work for me (I'm waiting on the weekend to do this as it'll probably take hours ) then I'm seriously thinking of upgrading the sdhc card to a 32gb one and flashing a custom rom
I'll keep you updated.
And once again, thank you for taking the time to reply , with well over a hundred views, I was beginning to think I was invisible
Garrickus
i would flash a custom rom (you have the requirements), its easy to do (just search for it) and the advantages of it are great. you would never want to go back to an official rom again.
I haven't heard of this problem before, and don't have a direct fix - I'd need to examine your phones in some detail to do so.
However, if you have a full-unlocked phone, or you have WP7 Root Tools, I'm releasing an app that can configure your phone to use a third-party app as the default beowser (on my phone, I'm currently using IE+, for example). There are some caveats - not all browsers will be supported, and not all of IE's features work on third-party browsers - but it should work to let you open links sent in emails or SMS or apps. They have tabs too (in fact, IE+ has better tab management than IE9; one reason I use it).
Glad to see it partially solved your problem ;-)
My device is a Samsung Omnia 7 with latest firmware and mango installed (do not have the disapearing keyboard fix).
I suspect either windowbreak interop unlock method or windows phone manager to be the culprit with our tabs problem. Are you interop unlocked ? Have you installed Windows Phone Manager ? Have you sideloaded any app ?

Funnily enough, I hadn't heard of this problem either, before it manifested itself on my phone so it can't be widespread.
I'd love to allow you (you Windows Phone Guru ) access to my phone, if it would help me and the community, but, it's my main device and your too far away to visit
I have a stock phone so I doubt there is any kind of dump or something I can do to provide more clarification on the problem, but it's very real and very annoying
I had a quick search for "IE+" in the marketplace, but didn't see it. Could you provide a link please ? Or did you sideload it ?
If the hard reset doesn't work, my carrier has said they will swop it out for a refurbished unit, so I have a couple of options.
If I get my act together by the weekend, I might upload a video of the problem to YouTube for information purposes.
Also, my phone has been exhibiting some strangeness for a while now. Occasionally freezing up, then unfreezing itself. Internet Explorer freezing when the loading bar reaches 4/5's distance, and taking ages to finish loading. Some tiles (third party only) losing their images but not the text, or backing out of an app to the Start screen resulting in all the tiles being empty for a few seconds before filling in. Start screen flashing green and crackly looking. None of them particularly bothered me too much till now.
I'll keep you all posted.

Yes, thank you. I was beginning to go mad with it lol.
I too am running Mango without the disappearing keyboard fix, but I am not windows broken, iterop or any other kind of unlock, or used any kind of programs other than Zune, so we don't have that in common I'm afraid.
Thanks anyway
Garrickus
IE+ is being published to the Marketplace this week, I think. There's a pre-release build of it available on this forum, but I'm not sure if that version supports the required behavior for be-the-default-browser support. I'm looking at other apps too (requires decompiling them, unless I can get a chance to talk to the developer, but that's usually easy).
However, if your phone isn't interop-unlocked, you wouldn't be able to use the switcher anyhow, though. It requires TCB (or "root") permissions, because it needs to write to the registry. It's possible to interop-unlock your phone (I have an HD7 myself), but you'd need to downgrade the firmware first.
The list of bugs you're experienced sounds like it *might* actually be some kind of defective hardware. The usual problem is the internal microSD card that is used for storage on the phone being defective or coming loose. There are a few other possibilities too, though. Unfortunately, trying to fix them yourself is likely to void your warranty, with no guarantee of success.
Video uploaded to Youtube
Hi all,
So my problem persists, and I am due to hard reset the phone to see if that solves the issue in the next couple of days. Before I do so however, I have uploaded a video showing the problem to Youtube for information purposes.
Lets see if anyone else is having the same problem, and if a solution exists.
Here's the link to the video

If the hard reset doesn't work, my carrier have said they will swop the unit for a refurbished one. Does anyone have any experiences of this ? Are they like new ? Or beaten up a bit ?

More people reporting the problem on Microsoft answers forum
Hi everyone,
I checked the Microsoft answers forum and it seems Others are reporting the issue as well
I counted at least half a dozen posts with the same problem as myself here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...one&CurrentScope.Filter=&askingquestion=false
So far, the only advice offered is to hard reset the phone, with some users reporting this solved their issue. One user reported that although it solved their issue, now their phone tile doesn't work

After hard reset
Hey everyone,
So I hard reset my phone on Thursday
and as a result, Internet Explorer now works again as it should
I decided not to restore a backup, and set up the phone manually (which took about 3 hours ).
A couple of things I've noticed since -
Battery life seems massively improved , now reporting over a days use on a full battery. I'll keep an eye on this as before I was only getting about 14 hours.
Another thing I've noticed is the keyboard. Now when I type, it highlights the word it thinks I want to use in bold, and it definitely didn't do that before
I'll keep you all posted on how things go over the next couple of weeks, if any of the problems I reported show up again, but, fingers crossed, it's all good for now, and loving my phone again.
Thanks for all your input.
Garrickus
Have a question... Does Hard resetting the device keep the os updates ?? (Mango, etc..) Or do you have to apply them again afterwards ?
Thanks for your answer

Thanks !! Another and last question, does hard resetting keep the phone windowbreak interop unlocked ?
Sent from my MID74C using XDA
Too bad. I have this problem too. Last night after connect to public wi-fi and enter username & password in automatic IE pop-up.
You can't open IE if your setting of "Open links from other apps in" is "A new tab". If change this settings to "The current tab" you can open multi-IE for multi-tab but can't use normal tab.
I think I will HR my device too.

No, interop unlocked will go away.
I am facing similar issue. I guess I know when it started (but not sure about it)
I had opened Google Search app. I was searching some images. In results displayed, I clicked 1 imgage. It opened Internet Explorer. When I tried to open "Tab" from Menu to close tab and exit IE, IE was simply not getting close and it was opening continously. I finally pressed Power button to switch off phone. After phone was restarted, I observed that while internet explorer is open and I open the tabs, it shows absolutely nothing, it doesn't show the tab for the page that is currently open or none of the other tabs that are open. Rather it shows Blank page with symbol to add new tab. But even new tab is not getting added. I tried several reboot on phone but somehow "Tab" thing is broken. I am also having feeling that Internet Explorer running in the backround that will not close even after a restart.
I dont want to Hard Rest Phone, but I think its only Solution for now. Hope MS fix this issue in WP7.8.
