Problem while deleting - General Questions and Answers

I was trying to delete a movie from my storage card using Total Comm, in the middle of it the process hesitated for a while and I forcefully backed out of total comm and when it didn't close I killed the process with wisbar. Now my phone seems very laggy, it drags when scrolling through pages, sometimes at startup my mem card isn't seen, and none of my hard keys work. WTF did I do!!! If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

broke down and a hard reset, hard keys still aren't working. Is it possible that I corrupted my ROM files with whatever I did?

constantly closing programs

I constantly have to go through 3-4 screens before the 750 gets back to my today screen from startup. For instance, I look at my phone and it has the calendar screen on it, close it and the contact edit screen is up, and so on until finally after clicking through 3-4 unwanted screens I can finally use the phone.
Memory does not recognize. Have 1 gig that won't ever recognize and 2 gig that is hit or miss depending on my treos mood. Who'da thought that windows could program personalities into their rom's?
Anybody else have issues like these? Normally I soft reset and that doesn't last. Thought I had something contacting the screen under the phone plastics but not that either.
I did figure out a good way to clean the internals... Blow through the memory card slot. Cleans out the keyboard and everything.
THanks.
You can go to today screen just by pressing the red end button or the green button. Or alternatively press Start>Today. Don't need to close those programs.
Can't help you with unrecognizable memory card. I don't have that problem.
Just curious, what's your ROM version (Start>Setting>System>About>Phone)? Do you use WM5 or WM6?

?My phone soft-reset when i press Settings in Start Menu

Hi. I have a huge problem. When I press the settings in the Start Menu my phone soft-resets immidiatly.
I dont know why.
As far as I know there is no path to the settings (Like in the windows folder),
But I've tried deleteing and recreating \Windows\Start Menu\Settings.
Nothing works. I dont know if it is some kind of virus or just a bug. Most likely its the registry that is messed up.
I haven't installed any programs on my phone recently and I use the LG KS20.
If I dont get a response quickly I will make a hard reset (If so, I will tell that on this thread).
The only time that this happens is usually when there is a major failure afaik and that you may have deleted a vital file. If you have everything backed up prior to the incident, just hard reset the device and pull up the back-up.
Well, I could't wait anymore without my settings so I made a hard reset,
And it worked.
Most likely the registry had been messed up, But its back to usual now.
Thanks for the help, Everyone who posted of this thread
hard reset is always the most secure solution

Phone Completely Messed Up

Okay, heres the problem im having, after the install of Manila 2.1 for my Fuze my phone's completely messed up. When I click anything on my screen it clicks something about 2 spaces down. For example on my WM 6.5 Unlock Screen, if I click a 3 it clicks the 9. I don't know what to do. I can't use my phone and its the same problem for everything: Games, Apps, Home Screen, etc.

So uninstall it. Did you flash manila for a different device?
No, I didn't flash the Manilla, it was a cab file.

Have you tried re-aligning your screen?
Go to Settings/System/Screen and click align screen and follow the directions.

I tried re-aligning but I do it, it moves to the next target thing, I finish and it re-starts the process.
EDIT: When I tap the target nothing happens, if I make a circle around it it goes to the next target but still restarts the process.

Hmm.... I say backup and hard reset. I know no one likes to hear that but I think it's the only (and best way) to fix a problem like this.

How do I backup my games and program? i got like 100+ games and apps. And save files for the games, and how could I remove Manilla 2.1, I tried and it said it wasn't successful.
i recommend sprite backup if u have it, and if u got a micro card with some extra space backup on there as well or transfer to ur computer via activesync and as far as uninstalling manila, have u disabled it from today screen and tried uninstalling again? might be the case....
Now I can't even unlock my phone, i click everywhere on my screen but the WM 6.5 Unlock Slide Bar doesn't click or slide.
I had the exact same problem a couple of weeks ago, screen was not aligned and the calibrate screen program just went round and round. The problem seemed to start when the phone ran flat, it wouldn't charge properly either (it intermittently showed the charging icon and took forever to get any kind of charge). In the end I turned the phone off and charged it over night and the next day the screen was fixed and the battery fully charged. I have not had a problem since.
How do I turn the phone off, I tried last night but I cant get passed the unlock screen and holding the power button doesn't work?

If I were you, I would hard reset then flash back to stock ROM, then see if your issue is resolved (which I am 99% certain it will be).
If you can get it to sync, your all set, if not you'll have to flash via SD card.
Also, obviously removing the battery will turn it off.
Id hard-reset but I got too much apps and games, and what'll happen to my saved game files?

They'll be all gone. That's why backing up regularly is a really good practice.

Either that or you figure out how to uninstall the manila that hosed you up.
Do you install your aps to your SD card or device, if SD card, you're fine, if device, you will lose your data.
You could either have a brick full of games or a phone that is able to have games work again.
Use SKTools for uninstall. If that doesn't work, hard reset.
I got the games and apps and everything on my SD Card, but if I hard-reset itll remove them from my Games and Apps folders and they won't be in my Add/Remove Programs List. Any program back that up? I got SPB Backup but never used it.
SKTools is the only effective way I've found to uninstall Manila.
But, I can't even unlock my phone anymore, I click the Unlock Thing and it doesn't click and my computer doesn't find my phone.
Sync your phone and explore it with your computer... Grab whatever saved data you need... Then hard reset or flash another rom...

Memory Issues?

Since my Diamond has given me the big middle finger, i went back to my backup TC which i was going to sell... good thing i didn't.
So i never liked the TouchFlo thing. I like SPB Shell much better. one problem with TF, it installs automatically when you hard reset (or fresh start) the phone. what to do... what to do...
This time around, when the phone booted up for the first time I did a soft reset (push the button on the bottom of the phone) when TF was getting installed 1/7th of the way; basically resetting the phone 1 second into install.
it is amazing how much memory is saved and putting on all the other software I normally use, there's plenty of room left! storage space has increased dramatically.
figure for those who do not like TF and could rebuild their phone from scratch w.o losing data (PIM), this *might* be a solution for you to get as much space out of the phone as possible.

[Q] Need help. the file 'start' cannot be opened

The file 'start' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate...
I have no idea where to find this file and how to fix the situation. The error prompt pops up constantly and freezes my phone to where i have to soft reset all the time. I cannot do a hard reset on my touch pro as my friend got it wet on a canoe trip and the volume buttons are no longer of any use. It seems to only do this on newer roms as I can use the original ATT firmware just fine. I do not use a sd card to flash.
From what I've read over the internet I need this file's certificate or something or another. If this can be provided by anyone I would appreciate it. Thank you.
The message almost never has anything to do with certificates (if you're on a cooked rom, if definitely shouldn't). It usually means you have a bad shortcut, or an app is missing some files so when you try to launch it, it can't open. When do you get the message? What are you trying to start? Is it a program in the start menu, or is it something you're launching with a button.
You can always hard reset-clear storage will do it, and there are apps like sk tools that will initiate a hard reset.
It happens as soon as I turn on my phone. It's the first thing that pops up so it makes it really difficult to even do anything. I'll look around for that program for the hard reset. Thank you.
Ok, saw in the title that it's the program 'start'. Before you hard reset, look in your startup folder (\windows\startup). If there's a shortcut for something called 'start.lnk', try removing it (move it to your sd card for safe-keeping). You can also see what the shortcut points to by opening it with Total Commander, using the editor.
