Odd file in temp folder - General Questions and Answers

Hi All
In my temp folder on my Kaiser(wm6.5) I have a file called timings.txt.... Have no idea what it's for or where it came from and it constantly increases in size. I cannot delete it either as it states "Cannot delete file 'timing.txt'.The Process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file."
Have only installed update S2U recently so not sure why it's there...
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the file is? and how to get rid of it??
regards
Lohtse

How to delete files from StartUp folder?

Hi,
I accidentally put actual file instead of lnk into StartUp folder on WM 6.1. Now I can not delete the file becouse it's already launched and it's not even showing in list of running programs. How do I get rid of it in StartUp folder?
Thanks,
G
it might be running in the background. try using a task manager kinda program to see running processes (e.g. wktask) and you should be able to kill it and then delete it
or rename it from somethingsomething.exe to somethingsomething.exe.bak
and softreset
Or you can usually cut the link or file in startup and then paste it somewhere else. Reset, then you can delete it.
not if it's not a shortcut but he places the exe file itself in startup in this case it will be locked and cant be cut
Can you rename the file to something not ".exe" and then reset the phone? Would it work? I've read somewhere around here someone suggesting that. After soft reset, in theory, you should be able to delete the file.

extract files from \windows

Hello guys,
I've got a little question :
I need to extract some files from \windows, like manila.exe for example, but the problem is that even with resco explorer and total commander, it won't allow me to do so
I know there is a tool to do it but I can't find it back!
Please help me because it is quite urgent as i'm beta testing some few apps here and the guys needs my files
Cheers
I've never had problems with total commander. Try copying instead of cutting them out. If you are trying to cut them out and the files are active they can't be moved.
no no I'm just trying to copy it....
you're trying to copy files and it tells you you can't? what exactly is the error message?
With resco explorer, I've got "Access denied" :
And with Total Commander here is what I get :
I've tried either to copy on the internal memory and the SD card....
First I thought it was because TF3D wasn't inactivated, but I've bot the same problem if I disable the TF3D...
No.. this is stranger than i thought. I can copy everything from the windows folder.
This is weird.. but check out the properties of your windows folder..
Also, try using your PC to copy the files.
nop...even from the PC I can't copy it...
Maybe I try something else, is there a tool that can allow me to extract the file directly from the ROM files ? I mean from the .nbh file

Find cached files?

Hey
So i just got the Blizzard Authenticator from the Android Market, i know it's storing an xml file that has a token and some other information, i was wondering if there is any way i can find out where that file might be?
I want to find the file, because in that way i can sync the key between my computer and phone
Cheers
-Jazerix
It would most likely be in /data/data/package name/shared_prefs, where package name is the name of the apk (probably something like com.blizzard.authenticator).
Thanks for your reply, but when i check out the data folder, it's completetly empty
Is there any other way i can trace the file path?
P.S. i'm using a Nexus S with CyanogenMod
Edit: I'm able to find something on the SD Card (/sdcard/Android/data), but there is no file regarding the mobile authenticator
Ok, so i just bought Root Explorer, and the folder is no longer empty cheers, found the files ^^

[Q] Need Help Moving and Replacing XML File ASAP :O

Help Please!
I've been trying desperately for a while now to change the name of my service provider in my banner and lockscreen and I think I'm almost done but, I have one problem!
To change my Service provider name I took a copied version of my eri.xml file off my phone and changed it from "MetroPCS" to "AndroJordan" using HexEditor. Ok, so far so good. but then after putting the new banner eri.xml file back onto my phone I wasnt able to use it to replace the old one.
How do I delete the original eri.xml file so that I can put the new one in? Or better yet, how do I access my phone's system files through my computer? Everytime I connect my phone to my PC, I can only access what is on the SD Card.
When I try to delete the original eri.xml file through Astro File Manager on my phone it just gives me an error message saying that it was unable to delete the file.
Someone please help me! I really just need to know how to access my phone's system files so that I may move/delete files

Where is the .zip file I downloaded?

Hello, I have downloaded a zip file through IE. Where I can find it ?
Thank you
There isnt a specific place... each app has its own isolated storage where it keeps their files.
You should be able to open that ZIP file from the browser and it will show you the files within... if they are recognised file types by WP7, it will let you run them.
But that's it, you have no file manager you can goto and fetch that saved file.
PS: well, you have... but I'm unsure if TouchXplorer is still working or not.
Thanks for this, but how can i delete it if I can't find it? I use the TouchXplorer...
I am concerning about the phone memory.
Generally, files downloaded through IE are stored in temporary memory and will be erased after a certain amount of time.
I ran into the same problem today. luckily i hit the windows button so all I have to do is hit the back button to reach the zip file again. Kind of frustrating when you dont have a file explorer and no other way to reach the file you just downloaded
